Never forget the man's work and legacy. Ben didn't realize he was raising a few generations with his videos. Rip to him and I wish his wife,friends and family well 💜
I’m such a huge killer croc fan to begin with and I love how he’s almost part of the bat family, he never needed to become a supervillain he was treated like one and eventually became one. I love killer croc on team Batman it’s so dope!
That bat mobile is HOT AF. A realistic, yet just out of reach approach to this "grounded" telling of a dope story. As soon as I saw it, my jaw dropped. Love it 3000!
@@teleportedbreadfor3days for whatever reason each volume gets realised years apart 2012 was volume 1, 2015 was volume, 2021 was volume 3, so we genuinely don't know when the next volume will be
Honestly, 3 is all we needed. The story was tight, well written, drawn, the pacing was great and it gave us just enough of “Bruce Wayne as a noob” while leaving open the rest as a mystery, amazing!
Honestly so wildly interesting. This version of the Batman orgin story is amazing and turns si many different ideas on its head and brings in so many new and different fresh takes and ideas on so many of the characters abd relationships we love and have gotten use to. Definitely loving some of the fresh ideas and takes here
“I’m nobody” is strangely genius. He’s never had an official *real* identity. John Doe, Jack Napier, Joe Chill, Jack Oswald White, Arthur Fleck, even Alfred and a few others where you just don’t know at all! There’s so many backstories, and he’s almost never the same person. So saying I’m nobody is awesome. I know this line is used for spiderman, but it works here, too. Anyone can be the Joker.
Literally, I love you, I've been relentlessly searching RUclips for like an hour and a half, and I needed this video. Plus, I am now hooked on earth one, I might actually go try and buy the whole series.
One of my favorite Batman moments is when he is given fear toxin in knight fall Every other time he was gassed he falls apart and feels like a child having to witness his parents death again But this time that’s not his great’s fear anymore. The villains actually are even more afraid of him now as he proceeded to viciously brutalize them while he’s screaming in pure rage and terror… JASON!!!
I really like the idea of the batmobile being just a heavily modified, heavily customized version of a street car because the trained eye could make some educated guesses as to what the vehicle is supposed to be based off of, but it's modified enough to make it a completely different vehicle from the vehicle it's supposedly based off of. Case in point, Robert Pattinson's batman batmobile. Design wise I think it's one of the coolest batmobiles ever made because it's basically a 1968 Dodge charger that's been given a Baja 1000 style long travel suspension, some bulletproof and run flat off-road tires, and body panels that are reinforced with 6 inch thick steel panels, AND the entire engine and drivetrain was relocated to the trunk so that nobody he's chasing can shoot out his engine and keep him from chasing them. Everybody's going to have a different opinion about Robert Pattinson's version of Batman, but I think we can all agree that the batmobile from that movie is pretty badass
I hope Rob does the rest of Earth One. In some ways it is DC’s attempt of making an ultimate universe of there own. It has some interesting interpretations of DC’s heroes. One of my favorites is Earth One’s Green Lantern.
i actually love and gotta give it props to the story telling and world building of this series. its honestly very creative and not our typical god knowledge level batman, its a very human like batman. which i know has to be a bit risky to write, but i respect it.
The story The Character design in the story are all amazing. I love that Clayface was the main Villain at the end and how weird and obscure he is they need to make more of these
I'm loving this series and that Batmobile is perfect for this type of story, an adapted supercar, using what is available, more grounded. It also runs as a metaphor for this Batman.
DC definitely needs to get this going on a more regular basis. Its amazing and needs more if a spotlight out on it and all the funding and love it deserves
This is crazy. Like, absolutely insane. In other continuities, Preston Payne, Matt Hagen, and Basil Karlo were established as completely different incarnations of Clayface. To see that here they are just different disguises of the same person, well it has some seriously game-changing implications.
11:49 I love the fact that Catwoman looks like she could be a superhero. Cuz technically, she does do good and gives her stolen money to the poor a la Robin Hood. I think the idea that Selina sees herself as a hero Is a good take.
This is by far some of the best batman writing to ever exist!!! I love this series! Let's go! Keep up the work brotha! Love the content! Need me a rob Corp ring too!!
this would have been more interesting if Harvey was actually alive, but his face was completely destroyed him having only one side of a coin and his sister having the good side. them going back and forth would have been more interesting instead of Jessica arguing with a corpse. Harvey being one side of the evil trying to take his sister the only good part in his life.
This series was so dope. As always Rob we appreciate the phenomenal breakdowns and your consistency. I genuinely hope that during this mourning period, u find time to prioritize urself. Salute from the rest of the RobCorp
For an early Batman I really like that he’s basically just using a modified sports car. It’s fast as hell and for the technology and types of enemies he’s dealing with it works great, he has the speed and doesn’t yet need crazy armor or anything
Daaamn, no continuation???? This story is top-notch from top to bottom. I love everything about it, except maybe Catwoman being too colorful. I love these grounded stories.
The fact this has 4k views and 800 comments about a 1/5 of the viewers commented, which is amazing, should be such a confirmation of how good your old stuff is.
"When was the last time you saw Batman digging up graves?" The movie Batman: Under the Red Hood. He dug up Jason Todd's grave to see if he was really dead. Spoiler: He wasn't.
I thank u man u and the rest off the comichistroy team are gonna be my main people for comics i got into your channle from benny and u remind me so much off benny its such a relive that when I watch your vids it also makes me think that benny is also doing it speaking it in tandem with u an d I thank u also we all hear for u and his family I no what your going through I lost my dad a few months back but these videos have helped me a lot so th x and I'm hear and were all hear for u ❤❤❤❤❤❤
“He’d wear her out on the rooftop”😂 The D so good it’s viable tender for criminal insider information. You’re hilarious as always. Hope you’re doing as well as you can be, all things considered. I always felt like the Batman comics have shied away from the fact that Bruce’s mom comes from a side of the family that has a long history with madness-that Bruce is as much an Arkham as he is a Wayne. That being said I haven’t read anything since about the end of Gotham War (a lame note to go on a break on, I didn’t like the ending), so I haven’t read anything since then so please no major spoilers in the comments if I’m majorly wrong or missing something that’s being addressed currently. But historically, considering that they’ve played around with the fact that Bruce spends a lot of his own time intentionally chasing down and teetering at the edge of madness. Like Batman in and of itself is a deeply insane cause, and that’s why we love him. But the fact that he’s failed so spectacularly, really since Joker War, and Alfred’s death, especially with the first half of the Zur-En-Ahrr robot arc and the fact that Bruce lost THE MANSION and everything, it’s like….what kind of end are we gonna get for main universe Bruce? Because it’s not going to be living to old age. And we’re really seeing him in a spectacular free fall of losses. How much loss can any one man, even Batman, take, before he goes mad?
I kind of like the Cheshire Cat from Disney's Alice in Wonderland approach to Catwoman's design. The random leg belt and socks are kind of odd, but the whole outfit works, cat smile and fluff cuffs and all. Darn shame there aren't any more Earth One comics as this is a realistic hero approach that doesn't go as gritty or depraved as other realistic approaches while still being grounded in reality.
to put my thoughts on the car, cuz i think it's dope enough to get a comment, it reminds me of the pagani sports cars, I'd recommend going and looking them up for reference. i do feel as he's in his early stages, this sort of car would be perfect as he probably had this car rusting away in a garage somewhere and decided to use it to better fit his new persona, and the armored windows are a nice touch.
Great video series so far; I'm really growing to like your channel: great job here, no notes- one note... "batman gives him the thousand yard stare" you keep saying that phrase but i do not think it means what you think it does... Batman is known to glare, to stare intensely, intimidatingly; with the visible bodily tension of someone ready to do violence. A Thousand Yard Stare is a blank almost expressionless look a war veteran makes when they become lost in thought about the past it's usually tinged with sadness or regret, it's not a thing you give to someone, it's more a thing that takes a persons own personality in that moment.
I feel like robs catchphrase is "Amazing". Kinda like Samuel L Jackson and the MF word.
That would be amazing.
AH-MAYZIN'
Surely it’s ‘son, son, son’ - a large part of why the Hickman videos are my most rewatched
"so what that duuuuhhhzzz"

I like how Rob has called this series Earth One, Earth Two, and now Earth Three. It's AMAZING!

When Batman reaches for Jessica, it’s shown in silhouette. Reminded me of a Dark Knight cover I think it was.
Using thousand yard stare improperly. It's not a look of intimidation, it's a look from people who experience PTSD
The story The Character design in the story are all amazing. I love that Clayface was the main Villain at the end and how weird and obscure he is they need to make more of these
Love this Batmobile because it can blend into traffic easier than any other batmobile ad definitely more so than the Bat Tank!
That batmobile looks like a Bougatti with a body kit. So not so much of an engineering marvel on wheels, but a rich kids 18th birthday gift.
This. One look and you could narrow down who Batman is just by tax bracket

Dad says that Basil Karlo was the original Clayface back in 1940, then Matt Hagen in December 1961 as Clay-Face. Just a FYI.

“Bruce Wayne goes to BAT for Killer Croc”
You know what you did there
DC definitely needs to get this going on a more regular basis. Its amazing and needs more if a spotlight out on it and all the funding and love it deserves
This series is downright amazing. I can't wait for the 4th volume. Glad to see some DC stories worth covering right now.
2:25 it's not as cool as the other batmobiles, but it is cool for Batman right now. Because of the situation he's in that car design fits well
I love the idea of Jones being on the team, I like the two-face reveal, I love Bruce funding Arkham.
McClaren is going to sue whoever designed this Batmobile for copyright infringement.
or buggati
Nobody else is saying it but i think it mostly draws inspiration from the Saleen S7

I haven't been interested in a Batman comic in a long long LONG time but this story line is so awesome.
Only other time I can think of Batman digging up a grave is in Under The Redhood when he wanted to know if Jason was still buried at his cemetery.
This series was so dope. As always Rob we appreciate the phenomenal breakdowns and your consistency. I genuinely hope that during this mourning period, u find time to prioritize urself. Salute from the rest of the RobCorp
As someone who never read a comic in his life, I think the team up of Batman and Killer Croc is original and very cool.

The Telltale games I believe.
How!? How does this keep getting better!? I need #4 like JJJ needs spider-man pics!! In the immortal words of Rob, amazing!

The movie Batman: Under the Red Hood. He dug up Jason Todd's grave to see if he was really dead.

Rob: it's AmAAAYYYzing!!!
I figured that everyone knew not to piss off batsy.
A few villains peeked behind the fourth wall and saw all the disrespect put on Batman’s name… so they thought it was safe… they thought it was safe

Only figured out it was Clayface when I saw his face melting. Also, Preston Payne and Matt Hagen are the original Clayface in other stories.
The batmobile fits into the art style which is more grounded in reality - it looks like a performance car built on a off the shelf chassis.
Damn that’s some of the best Batman stories I’ve seen, can’t believe it’s over though aww
I kind of like the Cheshire Cat from Disney's Alice in Wonderland approach to Catwoman's design. The random leg belt and socks are kind of odd, but the whole outfit works, cat smile and fluff cuffs and all. Darn shame there aren't any more Earth One comics as this is a realistic hero approach that doesn't go as gritty or depraved as other realistic approaches while still being grounded in reality.
I never cared much for comics but your enthusiasm for it is very entertaining.
Considering this is the first interaction of this worlds batman batmobile I say it's fire
genuinely might be one of my new favorite batman stories and idk why. it just feels comfortable

"batman gives him the thousand yard stare"
you keep saying that phrase but i do not think it means what you think it does...
Batman is known to glare, to stare intensely, intimidatingly; with the visible bodily tension of someone ready to do violence.
A Thousand Yard Stare is a blank almost expressionless look a war veteran makes when they become lost in thought about the past it's usually tinged with sadness or regret, it's not a thing you give to someone, it's more a thing that takes a persons own personality in that moment.
Can I ask what your profile picture is based on ? It reminds me of a one tomoe Sharingan.
This is my favorite Batmobile in comics. Its practical and discreet.
Joker at the end looks terrifying and amazing. A real shame they didn't continue this story any further.
