@@pokebreederrichard1200 I also like the micdrop moment where Supes questions him "you had all these plans.. but were so arrogant not to have one for yourself?" "I do have a plan. It's called the Justice League"
@@thejkittymews9045 It makes me wonder if he has contingency plans for every member, how does he expect them to be a safeguard for him if he ever goes rouge
My favorite part of the 'buy them over' example: the Ultrahumanoid used that money to donate to a public access channel he liked to watch. Even better: he listened to the opera on that channel loudly, and it annoyed the person in the cell next to him to no end. The person in the cell next to him? Lex Luthor.
Going to be honest that scene actually made me start the question on how much more money Bruce has compared to Lex because earlier in the episode Lex tripled the amount of money he was paying them which means Bruce offered to pay double of that triple
If I’m remembering correctly, Bruce is considered one of, if not the, richest men in the world. I think it’s typically depicted that he’s often wealthier than Lex. I could also be misremembering that
@@kennethqueen9629 Bruce Wayne inherited his money from generations of Wayne. The Wayne family's wealth is comparable to royalty. Plus Bruce is more willing to give away large amounts of money than Lex Luthor simply because he is more generous. Also, Lex probably needs to keep more money for lawsuits to get out of jail.
My favorite scene was when Batman is going to leave the Justice League, and Superman stops him. "You thought of all these plans to stop all of us, but you never thought of one for yourself." "I did." Batman says calmly. "Oh yeah? what?" Superman asks. "Its called the Justice League." Batman states the faintest of smiles creasing his lips. Superman smiles warmly. After all that they had been through in Doom, Batman was still head of the situation, and yet still trusted in his friends, and this little interaction lets you the audience know that Superman can still trust Batman. Least that is how I see it.
I remember an episode of Batman of the future when someone plant a mic on old bats, and try to make him go crazy, hearing voices and sh*t. But he figure it out explaining: "the voices in my head don't call me Bruce". Best superpower: being a stone cold damaged badass
Technically it wont work since he literally has counter measures against ever single one of them i know he gonna use em if he ever gets evil so i think he only said that to clark to give him a false sense of trust cause lets be real if batman ever go to the dark side he wont entrust the job of ending himself to anyone else but end himself with his own hands
I love the ending to Tower of Babel... everyone else lost faith in him... but clark gave him the kryptonite back to Bruce...because he still trusted his friend.
The last one is my favorite by far. Yes, he does have a plan to take down everyone he meets, but he's not so callous as to not have a plan to counter those plans if they get used without his say so. He's paranoid, sometimes rightly so, and can cross the line if he feels he has too, but he's not heartless. I feel a lot of people forget that sometimes, so it's nice to see a reminder every so often like this.
Yeah. And in Doom. Batman says the plans were meant to just neutralize, meaning, there was no intention of those plans to kill any members, mainly. To weaken them to the point they aren't a threat.
@@jacksonbloodmoon3787 And he didn't exclude anybody from the list of JL members. He even made a contingency for himself, in case he should go rogue for whatever reason. It takes a pretty big man to include his own weaknesses.

@@samsilverman8579 I think they're talking about the animated "Superman/Batman: Apocalypse". I've only seen a clip a long time ago, but Batman broke into Darkseid's armory, hacked the access codes to all the planet-killer bombs, and armed them. Then used "Your entire planet will blow up unless I disarm the bombs" as leverage to... I think let Supergirl go? And Darkseid was convinced that he wasn't bluffing.
@@boxoffoxes223 the way he convinced him was badass as well. Darkseid smashed him around for a while and then held him over a burning pit, avd the entire time Batman did not yield on his claim, which made it obvious that he wasn’t lying. He managed to piss off Darkseid to the point of nearly dying, but Darkseid couldn’t kill him because of the consequences which both pissed him off but also impressed him. I’m pretty sure he also made Darkseid promise to never attack Supergirl again, which I think he honoured.
Another example of his power of mind is that there is an episode of either the justice league animated series or the justice league unlimited series where they fight doctor destiny: every other member of the league falls to his nightmare traps but not batman he stays awake and keeps destiny out of his head.
I am 33y.o and i still remember the humming from that episode and hum along, helps me focus on any task I need to do at work. That episode and Epilogue are some of the most memorable till this day.
There's also "Emperor Joker" - an episode of Batman: the Brave and the Bold in which Batmite accidentally passes his reality warping powers to the Joker, making him an omnipotent being. Batman tricks the joker into invading his mind and defeats him there.
My most favorite of Batman's backup plans was in one episode of the show The Batman (2005) season 4 episode 7, Artifacts. In which Mr. Freeze uses a cyro chamber to sleep decades until someone else wakes him up and puts him back in a new suit, then he rampages until the bat stops him. But this is the future, over a Thousand Years in the future, how does The Batman live long enough to take on Mr. Freeze?! Answer, he doesn't but he covers the Titanium reinforcements of The Bat Cave with computer code that teaches a whole new team of The Bat Family how to take him down and continue the fight against evil. You can't tell me that is not thinking several times ahead before the other guy can start a new game, before he even losses the current one.
Like a game of chess. Knowing all possible moves and which one you can make with out as many flaws. Funny thing is people can be easier to predict than a game with pieces and rules. The mind is a powerful thing.
“I bought the bank.” is probably my favorite Batman quote of all time. The sheer surprise and dumbfoundment on Henry’s face, and the smug smile on Ben’s is golden. You can *see* Clark’s thoughts go from “thank you for this. I’m genuinely grateful” to “wait what the fuck did you just say?”
also the next thing he says about it being a reflex of his is a neat callback to when he bought an entire restaurant so he would be allowed to push some tables together for his date at the time
In the early 90s, I was in a startup inventing a new kind of financial instrument. (Basically, what PayPal does now.) We were having trouble with the contracts the banks had for merchant accounts. The primary investor comes out with "Well, if nothing else, we can always buy a bank." Everyone else at the table just stared at him. He goes "You can get some small ones quite reasonably these days."
I always liked the way they always have Batman basically protect Grundy in a few of the movies, he keeps people out of his sewers and (Cant remember movie/episode) where he goes and leaves him food.
This pretty much reinforce my belief that Batman is "THE" most dangerous member of the Justice League, he maybe mortal yet he is one to exercise the most caution against as he always thinks ahead of his foes, he not called the world's greatest detective for nothing, I bet if there was a contest to see who is the greatest detective in the universe it would be Batman and if he could he would reincarnate with all of his memories from his past life so that he can carry on the mission!!
Batman's best plan to counter against himself if he should go rogue? Well, he made plans for everyone in the JLA, including himself...The plan to counter Batman is the JLA itself.

Just one thing to note, the version of Cheetah that Batman seduced has a bit of a different backstory from the one seen in the comics. That particular version of Barbra Minerva was a geneticist and molecular biologist who had made massive breakthroughs in methods to combine human and animal DNA, but had her funding pulled because her research was considered "unethical". As a result she had to use herself as a test subject, and resorted to a life of crime to fund her research because no one else would hire her due to seeing her as a "freak". I personally like this version of Cheetah over her more traditional interpretation.
wasn't there a time with evil batman where he captured good batman and the flash, and the flash asked if he had a plan to get out but batman said no, so the flash had to make a plan himself? does that count?
The best thing we know about Batman is that his Power of Mind allows him to overcome Villains that use illusion to mess with people's mind. He has even deduce the Achilles Heel in everyone. Take Cyborg for example, in Injustice, he implanted a virus in Cyborg's systems when they met. Batman has even gone to make plans for taking out the Justice League. For Superman: Kryptonite, Aquaman: Hydrophobia, Green Lantern: Fear Toxin, Black Canary: Trachea Trauma, Flash: paralysis, and Firestorm: Phantom Zone. What's the moral to all of this? Don't Underestimate Batman.
As a companion video clip about Cyborg, he should have shown the bit in a Titan's cartoon where Damian has the location of (I think) Raven, and someone asks him how he knows, and Damian says, "When I first met her, I planted a tracker on her." The others are shocked. And he says, "I did to all of you, what's the problem?"
Back in the 1960's Justice League comics had a 2-part story, where a villain stole all the Leaguer's powers. He kept half and sent the other half out in to space. Even though Batman was no longer a genius, he still figured out how to get the powers back from space and from the villain. Then he got thinking that the villain was as smart or smarter than himself and would know what Batman was doing. Remember Batman wasn't as smart as even a normal person, devised a plan to trick the bad guy into sending the powers back to the Justice League members instead of to himself. Batman told no one and the Leaguers though he had failed. He very much succeeded. Everyone got their powers back and the villain went to jail. Batman then told all of them the plan he had made, and Superman said, " Even half a Batman is better than none." That was the issue that made me understand and love Batman. Not his weapons or cars, or equipment. It was always his brain. Now I am sorry I don't remember what 2 issues they were. It's been a long time since1960's. Perhaps a DC expert can help find out. Sorry for the long comment.
The first one (trapped on Watchtower); Superman can fly around in space for a prolong period of time. It is known that he can hold his breath for an extreme amount of time. Unless the Watchtower moved to some far reaches of the galaxy, Superman could easily fly back to Earth. He could do this alone and not feel bad about it because it is also known that Green Lantern can fly himself and others through space by basically putting an oxygen bubble around them. Green Lantern could easily get the others to Earth. I'm not sure about Cyborg but I believe he could utilize a boom tube to get back to Earth. People love giving Batman all this "prep time" credit, but come on.
Lantern can create an entire new watchtower, either as a lantern construct, or, in theory, literally carving one out of an asteroid. Cyborg and Flash could likely simply hack the watchtower and regain control.
@@TopFlix And yet Batman did not hack him remotely at that point. He had to be in relatively close proximity and may not have had that ability yet. Flash has gone up against the AI version of The Thinker, who is arguably better than Batman in that specific field and it was Cyborg who eventually defeated the villain. The other thing about Hal is he actually resurrected an entire city. That was against the rules, but that level of power is more than enough to simply remove the viral control by just willing it away. He could also provide air indefinitely for all of them at that point. If the writers remember, of course. Both GL and Flash tend to get massively underused in group situations.
You could use a 1.5-2 second splash or title screen at the start of your videos. Something to help prevent people from being confused about whether they missed part of it. I Love this video, but had trouble knowing I didn't start in the middle because there wasn't something like that there. If you were to make that Splash/ title screen a clip in its own right, you can simply open the completed video into your editing software and stick it on the front of your prepared content. Keeping it to 1.5 -2 seconds means you don't waste time and can get to the content right away while telling everyone who they are watching, and that your video is beginning. All in a neat little splash.
Batman is the shadow, created by the fire of hope burning bright. Without hope there is no Batman and without Batman the fire burns just that much dimmer.
Bruce was like "lol, money is a super power, I just bought the bank that now owns your house, you may now have your house back" bro, this is the super hero we all need right here
Batman telling Superman he needs to spend more time on the streets takes some balls. You'd think the worlds greatest detective would remember that his day job is as a Pulitzer prize winning investigative journalist.
See, that's the thing. Superman, as Clak Kent, chases stories that his journal, the Daily Bugle, will be interested in. And that does put him on the streets. But only on the 'bright' side of them, so to speak. Batman on the other hand has always gone through the 'dark' side of the streets, where criminal activity is more prone to happen and where Superman dosen't go. Superman may be smart, but not street smart. He dosen't know the true dakness or the evil that can, and more often than not does, lurk on the streets' less seen parts.
Just started the video so idk if you go over it but I seem to remember maybe during the court if owls arc(?) that they tried brainwashing Batman but years prior he (I forget how) basically gave himself a split personality, one that could overcome potential brainwashing. I’ll admit I’m probably wrong, or dreamt that but it’s in my head 😂

@@ericdunn7352 It's almost the only way I can see him getting that win - the only ways to defeat an infinity gauntlet is by preventing the user from gathering the stones, getting the user NOT to use the gauntlet's full power, or getting them to defeat themself.
@2:00 Kryptonians don't need to breath. Turning off the piwer does nothing. This wouldn't kill Wonder Woman either. Worst case, everyone moves to a reinforced part of the station, superman detatches it and carries them down to earth.
After the revelation in the comic identity crisis, Batman create the best contingency plan then go wrong, the big brother kind of plan “ proyecto omac “

@@user-pq6mr6op3p Dude let people enjoy things- it ain’t that deep. And if you’re starting with that point, aren’t all superheroes meant for children originally?

I need a compilation of Batman goading people into getting pissed off, it's too good.
Great Suggestion. Straight to Bucket List
I love how killer croc was shocked at what Batman did to cyborg😂😂😂
Boy that's rough
Just remember, no matter how good his plans are, there’s always a Failsafe.
There is nothing Better than a good Batman!!!
But nothing Scarier than a bad Batman!!!
I have seen a lot of videos that try to explain things like this, but yours is the most informative and easiest one to listen to and follow.
Well done, my friend. You have made a great video!!
Wow, thank you for your dearly appreciation !!!
Just one thing to note, the version of Cheetah that Batman seduced has a bit of a different backstory from the one seen in the comics. That particular version of Barbra Minerva was a geneticist and molecular biologist who had made massive breakthroughs in methods to combine human and animal DNA, but had her funding pulled because her research was considered "unethical". As a result she had to use herself as a test subject, and resorted to a life of crime to fund her research because no one else would hire her due to seeing her as a "freak".
I personally like this version of Cheetah over her more traditional interpretation.
Batman is forever the best super hero. As he uses his brain and body to get the job done.
Yeah! 😀
As fearful as we should be of an evil Superman, we would be f*cked if Batman went evil.
wasn't there a time with evil batman where he captured good batman and the flash, and the flash asked if he had a plan to get out but batman said no, so the flash had to make a plan himself? does that count?
I already have a feeling it's going to be EPIC!
the reason batman crosses the line some times is so that if his friends ever go rogue or turn evil there's a way to stop them
Wasnt there one time where Superman was so under mind control that the only way Bats brought him out was endangering Lois' life??
Even super villains agreed he is the most dangerous
“Boy that’s low” 😂😂
The best thing we know about Batman is that his Power of Mind allows him to overcome Villains that use illusion to mess with people's mind. He has even deduce the Achilles Heel in everyone. Take Cyborg for example, in Injustice, he implanted a virus in Cyborg's systems when they met. Batman has even gone to make plans for taking out the Justice League. For Superman: Kryptonite, Aquaman: Hydrophobia, Green Lantern: Fear Toxin, Black Canary: Trachea Trauma, Flash: paralysis, and Firestorm: Phantom Zone. What's the moral to all of this? Don't Underestimate Batman.
As a companion video clip about Cyborg, he should have shown the bit in a Titan's cartoon where Damian has the location of (I think) Raven, and someone asks him how he knows, and Damian says, "When I first met her, I planted a tracker on her." The others are shocked. And he says, "I did to all of you, what's the problem?"

No mention of Batman's greatest backup plan ever, the Batman of Zur En Arrh? for shame
Thank You for mentioning this.
This is a great video! Great job 👏
Thanks Bro
Back in the 1960's Justice League comics had a 2-part story, where a villain stole all the Leaguer's powers. He kept half and sent the other half out in to space. Even though Batman was no longer a genius, he still figured out how to get the powers back from space and from the villain. Then he got thinking that the villain was as smart or smarter than himself and would know what Batman was doing. Remember Batman wasn't as smart as even a normal person, devised a plan to trick the bad guy into sending the powers back to the Justice League members instead of to himself. Batman told no one and the Leaguers though he had failed. He very much succeeded. Everyone got their powers back and the villain went to jail. Batman then told all of them the plan he had made, and Superman said, " Even half a Batman is better than none." That was the issue that made me understand and love Batman. Not his weapons or cars, or equipment. It was always his brain. Now I am sorry I don't remember what 2 issues they were. It's been a long time since1960's. Perhaps a DC expert can help find out. Sorry for the long comment.
The first one (trapped on Watchtower); Superman can fly around in space for a prolong period of time. It is known that he can hold his breath for an extreme amount of time. Unless the Watchtower moved to some far reaches of the galaxy, Superman could easily fly back to Earth. He could do this alone and not feel bad about it because it is also known that Green Lantern can fly himself and others through space by basically putting an oxygen bubble around them. Green Lantern could easily get the others to Earth. I'm not sure about Cyborg but I believe he could utilize a boom tube to get back to Earth. People love giving Batman all this "prep time" credit, but come on.
Lantern can create an entire new watchtower, either as a lantern construct, or, in theory, literally carving one out of an asteroid. Cyborg and Flash could likely simply hack the watchtower and regain control.
I believe hacking watch Tower is not possible while Batman is in control, given the fact that Cyborg was also hacked by Batman using a Virus.
@@TopFlix And yet Batman did not hack him remotely at that point. He had to be in relatively close proximity and may not have had that ability yet. Flash has gone up against the AI version of The Thinker, who is arguably better than Batman in that specific field and it was Cyborg who eventually defeated the villain.
The other thing about Hal is he actually resurrected an entire city. That was against the rules, but that level of power is more than enough to simply remove the viral control by just willing it away. He could also provide air indefinitely for all of them at that point. If the writers remember, of course.
Both GL and Flash tend to get massively underused in group situations.
You could use a 1.5-2 second splash or title screen at the start of your videos. Something to help prevent people from being confused about whether they missed part of it. I Love this video, but had trouble knowing I didn't start in the middle because there wasn't something like that there.
If you were to make that Splash/ title screen a clip in its own right, you can simply open the completed video into your editing software and stick it on the front of your prepared content. Keeping it to 1.5 -2 seconds means you don't waste time and can get to the content right away while telling everyone who they are watching, and that your video is beginning. All in a neat little splash.
Thank You very much for this Constructive Suggestion. Looking forward for more helpful insight like these.
I feel like green lantern would be pretty fine if he had no air to breath.

3:40 I like how he completely skipped the Part of him actually escaping by seducing Cheetah 😅
He he.. Keep watching, who knows, may be you find it near the end of the Video
Batman is the shadow, created by the fire of hope burning bright.
Without hope there is no Batman and without Batman the fire burns just that much dimmer.
I'm cooked, I thought he said "Selling Discord" like Bruce Wayne is the boss of Discord Mods 😆
😆😆
Bruce was like "lol, money is a super power, I just bought the bank that now owns your house, you may now have your house back" bro, this is the super hero we all need right here
Love it!
"I outsmarted your outsmarting that's why you can't outsmart me cause I already outsmarted my outsmartering".
Have you been reading the current comic run for Batman? Failsafe has become one hell of a backup plan.
Glad you mentioned it. I should definitely take a look
Batman telling Superman he needs to spend more time on the streets takes some balls. You'd think the worlds greatest detective would remember that his day job is as a Pulitzer prize winning investigative journalist.
See, that's the thing. Superman, as Clak Kent, chases stories that his journal, the Daily Bugle, will be interested in. And that does put him on the streets. But only on the 'bright' side of them, so to speak. Batman on the other hand has always gone through the 'dark' side of the streets, where criminal activity is more prone to happen and where Superman dosen't go. Superman may be smart, but not street smart. He dosen't know the true dakness or the evil that can, and more often than not does, lurk on the streets' less seen parts.
The essence of buy them over: to quote Seto Kaiba from yugioh abridged "Screw the rules I have money."
Just started the video so idk if you go over it but I seem to remember maybe during the court if owls arc(?) that they tried brainwashing Batman but years prior he (I forget how) basically gave himself a split personality, one that could overcome potential brainwashing. I’ll admit I’m probably wrong, or dreamt that but it’s in my head 😂
Thank You for mentioning that Incident Bro
@@TopFlix I’ll be honest I like getting high and listening to comics so I could be wrong on my post 😂
How would Batman take on Thanos?
It would take a couple of days but he would find a way around that ole infinity gauntlet thing.
"Flash - you can time travel, you'll get there first, and then bring the stones to me last moth so I can make THIS...." *reveals infinity stone powered bat-suit* "Oh yea, give me these too." *hands flash design for the suit* "You can do this, Barry..... you already have."
*Snaps everything back to their own continuity, and only Bats, The Watcher, and Deadpool know anything ever happened*
nunya business, That was a good theory.
@@ericdunn7352 It's almost the only way I can see him getting that win - the only ways to defeat an infinity gauntlet is by preventing the user from gathering the stones, getting the user NOT to use the gauntlet's full power, or getting them to defeat themself.
''fire burns manhunter'' wait i thought it was just that they had a deep fear of fire put into his kind even tho it doesnt actually hurt them?
Fear is the enemy of will...
That's powerful!
I mean even when Stupidman's plan to attack apokalypse backfired phenominally......batman's contingency made it possible for a reset
I can't stop beeing fascinated by batman and i believ he could be the greatest hero could exist 😃😃😃😃
SUPES: What if Batman goes rogue?
BATSY: There's the Justice League
ME: That didn't do well in Dark Knights Metal
Not gonna lie the beginning sounded like one of those commercials where you sell stuff for big box stores
Ha ha ...
@@TopFlix sorry if that sounded offensive, I can delete the comment if you want
It is not offensive at all. Just another view aspect. Appreciate you sharing.
In the 2017 Justice League movie, the Flash asks Batman "What's your superpower?" and Bruce answered "I'm rich"
To be fair I’d be more scared if I learned batman *didn’t* have a plan for me.
All I want is to one day be able to look my friend in the eye and tell them I bought the bank that was taking their house, just to save the house.
That is Thug Life and at the same time a Great way to show your care for your friend.
I liked Batman's interactions with Amanda Waller
I love how man said I bought the bank
The 5th is the most accurate.
I think even in the latest video game Batman's Death is a part of his own plan, involving Lazarus Pit.
Raven could easily teleport them out tower, Superman breath in space too , GL could make shield n break out watch tower
@2:00 Kryptonians don't need to breath. Turning off the piwer does nothing. This wouldn't kill Wonder Woman either. Worst case, everyone moves to a reinforced part of the station, superman detatches it and carries them down to earth.
Cheetah was a FREAK alright 😏
I reckon Batman's backup plans have backup plans
They sure do.
Lovin the wevideo music
Thank You Bro
For me batman is op, i loved justice league unlimited 😍
Oh Batfleck, I love ya
Where can I find the complete "5 main classes of power" which is shown at 5:20?
Sir Bill finger need to get more credits for giving Batman character dark and persona which every intelletual admire, insprie to be one.

"Regardless of their powers are at the mercy of Batman"
The hell they are...
After the revelation in the comic identity crisis, Batman create the best contingency plan then go wrong, the big brother kind of plan “ proyecto omac “
That was chill
Project Icarus would've been cool if there wasn't two teleporters

Batman can rule this mudball. The other heroes should know this.
There is only one way to defeat batman. It's by knowing your self better than what he can figure out.
The scary thing is if Batman and Superman switched roles in in justice Batman would took down all of them in 20mintues and it a good things he has not snapped yet
Till this day imho i think it would be a smart move if Batman turned himself into a full on Robot like Luthor did to Jhon Corben turning him into Metallo. !
Remember the most powerful thing anyone can have is information.the right information or trick of miss information can do and undo just about anything.will power and information can let Anyone do anything and I do mean anything.the only limitations we set as beings are on ourselves for good or bad.I’m not Batman I’m not a superhero or supervillain but try and prove me totally wrong and you will find that if enough of a push happens….for good or bad and enough things go right or wrong anything can happen.we will never fly they once told us,we did.we will never talk to others in different rooms from across the world,we do.we will never make a robot or AI smart enough to do as a normal person can do….we are already working on it.the question isn’t how it’s when and for what reason’s.i hope your intentions are good as mine are or at least aline with my own views on existence.if not may the best being win but remember there’s always a bigger fish to fry.
6:25 where this scene come from ? I remembre that I saw it when I was younger but I don’t know if it’s from a series or movie
The Batman
Batman with time is scarry
The scene with Ace… 😢
Now I question, Batman vs Iron Man?
Alfred would outsmart him if he wanted.
True
Nice
Thanks Man

Suparman flies in vacuum of a space, why taking out oxygen from justice league tower affects him in Protocol icarus .
According to Injustice Comic, it does.
Maybe Injustice Superman still thinks he needs to breathe...
