@@darkxaurHe probably initially was going to take down Thorne but Alex threw a nuclear wrench in that. Batman always does his research days in advance before taking down criminals as a whole.
This scene has all the work of showing what Phosphorus is capable of. His unparalleled power in every way was enough to make the gangs submit and accept him as their boss. But... one night the Bat arrived... one night Phosphorus was defeated.
Dr Phosphorus and his goons definitely had to practice this whole number beforehand right? I find the idea of gangsters gathering every day after work to practice a dance with their boss both funny and kinda wholesome.
Lol I love Gotham goons cuz they'll be all scary and stuff but also go along with their masters weird gimiks I especially love when it's for the riddler lol
I love how he decided to go full Goro Majima with his villain arc. May as well lean into the insanity, dance the night away and have choreographed shootouts with his crew.
Yeah maybe after he injuries Thorne, he than turns to them, And Thorne says "Please leave them out of these, they had nothing to do with it" which causes Phosphorus to laugh before saying what was said above, making Thorne watch as he kills them.
I love the scene where while Phosphorus was dancing they show the flashback of his wedding and his child, showing how despite the fact he may enjoy having a superpower, being able to conquer other gangsters, and money underneath is a man who truly lost everything that he actually cared about when it was taken away from him, his family and his dreams to help people.
I mean thats his Main thing he is coping Witz the fun of his New life. If he could choose, he would undoo everything in a heartbeat if he could get his family bag. Its just coping behavior after loosing everything....10 out of 10 dough would do the same👍🏻
I do like that a lot -- like, if he received therapy and proper care, Phosphorus probably could reform and give up his criminal ways... but that'd require him to want to have to do that. And he doesn't want to; what would be the point? His family is dead, his work destroyed, his flesh corrupted into something literally inhuman -- he tried to do good deeds and had his life destroyed for it, left with nothing but radioactive flesh and a grief that burns like a wildfire. If he stopped to mourn what he's lost, it'd consume him utterly: far better to run and never look back. Absolute tragedy of a character, made even more impressive from the fact that the character really has never had that level of depth in media before (in the comics he's a shady nuclear physicist before the accident, and in The Batman he's just Firefly with an identity crisis). Kudos to Gunn, Tudyk and the rest of the Creature Commandos creative team on salvaging this character and finding humanity in the ridiculous!
My God, that Batman entrance is so peak. Showed us JUST enough to let us know that even this radioactive skeleton in his prime just got wiped out by him.
@@buildsparkling8911It's Gotham, he was probably busy dealing with the usual "How many people are going to get pranked today" Joker game or something similar.
The sight of Thorne playing and having dinner with his own family as if he didn’t just slaughter another and laughed his ass off while doing it, made me SICK to my stomach. I wished they had let us see the look on his face when he lost everything too.
@@milkiassamuel780 Wonderlust King by Gogol Bordello. Great song. In the scene here I love especially the dance of Doc and his minions. Love how into it is his minion on the left.
@AzraelSoulHunter Thanks. Yeah the dance scene had no right to be funny as it was but in a good way. Seems like Phosphorus really reminded me of Black Mask as he too was another skeleton themed crime lord. Honestly I'm more curious how Batman was able to take down Phosphorus and send him to Belle Reve considering how OP he is?
I have my gripes and criticisms of this show, but this sequence was incredible. He had everything brutally stolen from him. His family, his life and very humanity. He throws himself into this hedonistic life to forget. He wants to be a monster. To just abandon his humanity fully.
Yep. He fully dove into the hedonism and crime, without any prior experience or interest in either because after he was robbed of all he ever had, family, face, his research and etc he just wanted to entirely separate himself from his past life. Otherwise he wouldnt be able to cope with his existence.
I love how he walks in and just steals Thornes kingdom after, and the other guys just go "Yeah sure." To be fair, if a glowing skeleton killed a massive crimeboss and said he owned the place the last thing id want to do is piss of the glowing skeleton.
it proably just thursday night for them, remember this Gotham, Penguin, Two-Face, villian of week seem to take over the mob every other week. They just roll with the punches as long as they keep getting their cut of income, who cares who answers to you, be human or meta.
In all fairness, he could just give the whole Thorne empire a turbo mega giga cancer deluxe in just a second. Not to say how easily he can just one-shot-kill you. Instead he somehow chooses to spare your ass. Yeah i'd be happy to switch sides too when the guy who can instakill me actually wants me to pick a side.
@@LeoPark-v8fi don’t think he would do that he would definitely well you know but not that dark well then again when you essentially become a glow in the dark skeleton I don’t blame him if his brain has a few screws loose
One of the biggest reasons I love James Gunn's work, is that he has such great taste in music. I will be forever grateful to Creature Commandos for introducing me to Gogol Bordello.
Dr. Phosphorus is evil, but you can also sympathize with where he is coming from. He had lost everything even his work, his family, his identity, and humanity. He had nothing to lose now and everything to gain but in the end he still wants to go back.
It's what makes the scene after where he is playing with the little girl mean so much. Because up till that point you expected him to kill her only to find out he didn't. It shows he doesn't want to be the person he became any more.
Thorne was so. Evil in this. At least Joker is crazy. This guy is 100% evil Thorne: I’m selling nuclear research to ISIS, also I’m selling these children to a sweatshop in China, and these women to Oil tycoons
I like how when the Doc is dancing with his crew, it would imply that he ordered them to take dance lessons with him in order to be in sync with each other.
Yeah, because these are all original characters created by James Gunn who never had back stories until James Gunn gave them these backstories for the very first time in this show..../s
I love the picture him running through all the choreography with his goons. Like his very first order for them was to go to a dance studio and learn how to do that sick drip step
Honestly, one of my favorite things about this is seeing themed henchmen and I hope that continues in the DCU (I did also see that Lex’s soldiers were wearing green and purple in the Superman trailer). I just think it gives the goons so much more personality than stock mercenary or gangster types.
He also had great henchmen themed design. Glowing face paint and suits? Awesome. And those hooded gunners? Even better. He really had style down to a T.
That henchman of Thorne that was listening to the news. His reaction was perfect. He was probably shocked to hear his boss had his entire family murdered in front of him but was probably more shocked to hear that the guy they tried to kill was the one who did it
This gave me a Kung Fu Hustle vibe. Where the Vilain would dance like this with his group while they show a montage of their crimes and such. And as the dancing continoues more of the hencman join in. Love it!
I've seen so many people say Phosphorus isn't good whatsoever because he killed kids, well that's the damn point!!!! Man literally had his wife and kid killed in front of him, then turned into an irradiated skeleton with nothing to lose. You don't gotta agree with his methods, but I personally love how he dealt revenge to his "killers". Man then became a dope crime boss bad enough to end up on BATMAN'S radar. I seriously think the DCU is in good hands.
@@grimshock6983 He 100% burned his wife and children in front of him, just to make him understand his pain. I don't even think he told Thorne who he was, just made him suffer and killed him.
It's because the point of the scene isn't really satisfaction. It can be satisfying but it's about how Phosphorus killed the kids. The other goons have satisfying deaths but why not Thorne? Because Thorne dying doesn't matter, it's the fact that Phosphorus killed the kid that is important.
@@philbuttler3427It’s not justified. Killing Thorne, the goons, and taking over the gang, yeah that was justified. But the kids… it is understandable however considering what he lost and that moment was the peak if his manic state after everything that happened.
They absolutely allowed. People just grew so callous and disenfranchised that they no longer see villainy in (for example) brutally killing a knight who helped you out before, or killing a family, or Weasel cannibalising a guy in the background during the event in the castle.
Well, Dr.Phosphorus is a good example along with Mr.Freeze why you make sure the dude is dead. Cause you just end up making a Supervillain. Thorne got what he had coming to him, I only feel bad for his kids and wife.
I think the montage showing his family as he dances and dose crime is meant to show how he is trying (and failing) to fill his heart with meterial things like money and clubs.
Somewhere in Gotham there is a dance studio that caters to a specific clientel of large men who work "security" but need to learn complex dance choreography at a proffesional level. Next door a tailor takes bulk orders for suits.
In my opinion, the perfect transformation from victim to villain. Perfect music selection and gorgeous cut scenes. And James Gunn doesn't whitewash a character, he just shows when one scum can turn another person into something worse. I absolutely understand Phosphorus's desire for revenge and even approve)) I would even say that everything ended too quickly for Thorne. But, like, guys, he killed the KIDS. It's already sooo hard to justify. Someone will say "an eye for an eye," and I will say "an eye for an eye and the world will go blind." Well, what kind of logic is needed to justify such a thing?
I mean... Dude is quite literally out of his mind. I think you can tell from the Joker-like cackling he's so far gone when he gets to him and his family that he's not in any semblance of sound mind. This was pure malice and hate, with a sprinkle of madness, turned loose on those who killed his wife and kid. Nothing 'fair' about it, if he had to literally melt through a preschool to get to him he probably would have.
"Gunn doesn't whitewash a character" Meanwhile Weasel "oh nooo he didn't actually kill children, it was just a cosmic contrivance that framed him for it, he's a good booooy" Phosphorus is the only one so far with an actual villain backstory instead of some melodramatic tearbait
The kids would grow up to try and kill phosphorus. Cycle won’t ever end until a whole lineage dies. I’d do the exact same thing if my family went out like his did and I was still alive.
Gotta love how Thorne doesn't get away with what he did at all. He most likely got a slow death. I imagine his wife and children died first so that he could cry over their corpses before being melted. I mean it's what he did to Dr. Phosphorus so.
that's the point. it so we can feel as dissatisfied as Phosphorus is. in the end, even though he got revenge, money, and power, he's still an empty broken man. that way we can see this for the tragic fall of a man into a monster instead of the typical revenge story.
In the first episode there's a moment where Dr Phosphorus is in the background teaching Pokolistan soldiers the same dance this clip shows him doing with his henchmen.
Curioso que aquí hizo exactamente lo opuesto a lo que hizo deadpool primero fue por el sujeto que lo convirtió en un monstruo luego mato a los secuaces y en vez de convertirse en un héroe se quedó con el imperio criminal de su némesis
Alan Tudyk wasn’t kidding when he said Phosphorus' backstory was Mystic River level messed up. And Alan absolutely killed the completely unhinged Dr. Phosphorus.

I think the montage showing his family as he dances and dose crime is meant to show how he is trying (and failing) to fill his heart with meterial things like money and clubs.
1:22 how did Phosphorus manage to sneak on him while in the shop? One would think everyone inside would be screaming at the burning skeleton.
I know right? It even looks like he just materialised out of nowhere.
They're in Gotham, and Gothamites know to mind their own business.
We seen him wear clothes so for all we know he was wearing some before grabbing him
He walked through a wall to get in
Gotham residents are probably unfazed by metahumans up until this guy decided to melt the gangster's neck in the dairy aisle
1:20 "ABSOLUTELY DYING FOR THIS CEREAL!" with a skeleton dinosaur. I see what you did do there, DC.
I just love the idea that when he gets new goons, he goes.How are your dancing skills?If you wanna work for me , you better have rhythm
I love how you just cut off at Batman like he’s a jumpscare.
That awkward moment when you get Batmanned.
Somewhere in Gotham there is a dance studio that caters to a specific clientel of large men who work "security" but need to learn complex dance choreography at a proffesional level. Next door a tailor takes bulk orders for suits.
In my opinion, the perfect transformation from victim to villain. Perfect music selection and gorgeous cut scenes. And James Gunn doesn't whitewash a character, he just shows when one scum can turn another person into something worse. I absolutely understand Phosphorus's desire for revenge and even approve)) I would even say that everything ended too quickly for Thorne. But, like, guys, he killed the KIDS. It's already sooo hard to justify. Someone will say "an eye for an eye," and I will say "an eye for an eye and the world will go blind." Well, what kind of logic is needed to justify such a thing?
I mean...
Dude is quite literally out of his mind. I think you can tell from the Joker-like cackling he's so far gone when he gets to him and his family that he's not in any semblance of sound mind.
This was pure malice and hate, with a sprinkle of madness, turned loose on those who killed his wife and kid.
Nothing 'fair' about it, if he had to literally melt through a preschool to get to him he probably would have.
He was always a monster. He just needed an excuse.
"Gunn doesn't whitewash a character"
Meanwhile Weasel "oh nooo he didn't actually kill children, it was just a cosmic contrivance that framed him for it, he's a good booooy"
Phosphorus is the only one so far with an actual villain backstory instead of some melodramatic tearbait
The kids would grow up to try and kill phosphorus. Cycle won’t ever end until a whole lineage dies. I’d do the exact same thing if my family went out like his did and I was still alive.
@@Blehobo It's true, you're right) I put it wrong. James does whitewash someone, but Alex is not exactly the case.
The cameo was beyond glorious
Gotta love how Thorne doesn't get away with what he did at all. He most likely got a slow death. I imagine his wife and children died first so that he could cry over their corpses before being melted. I mean it's what he did to Dr. Phosphorus so.
We don’t just see Phosphorus’s origin, we see the evolution of organized crime in Gotham. They went from classic mafia to colorful supervillain goons
This song is called *"Wonderlust King"* by Gogol Bordello
Great song. Funny thing is, I was watching the vid with the sound off and with captions and then realized what it was.
No kidding, this scene clearly shows how every last crew memeber working on it completely enjoyed their work
He was turned into a monster physically and mentally 😢 0:00.
Man, it feels like few villains have their own unique dance moves. For example peacemaker and especially Dr. Phosphorus.
I’m glad he got Thorne, I’m just disappointed we didn’t get to see him melt him
atleast we saw him melting Thorne's crew
that's the point. it so we can feel as dissatisfied as Phosphorus is. in the end, even though he got revenge, money, and power, he's still an empty broken man. that way we can see this for the tragic fall of a man into a monster instead of the typical revenge story.
This whole dance scene is so cool i just keep rewatching it when i can, i wish we can see the fight at some point i don't care where how or why
1:53 His outfit is looks a classic Batman villain outfit.
I mean he technicaly is one
In the first episode there's a moment where Dr Phosphorus is in the background teaching Pokolistan soldiers the same dance this clip shows him doing with his henchmen.
1:35 One crazy hostile takeover
Phosphorus and his goons danced for a few seconds and it already looked better than the dance fight in Marvel's What if
1:56 Deadpool has competition
Curioso que aquí hizo exactamente lo opuesto a lo que hizo deadpool primero fue por el sujeto que lo convirtió en un monstruo luego mato a los secuaces y en vez de convertirse en un héroe se quedó con el imperio criminal de su némesis
Very reasonable crashout.
VERY REASONABLE crashout.
That dance number was pretty neat ngl
But why does it look so damn familiar…? 🤔
1:53 Sick dance moves 😁👍🏾
2:28 2:29 2:30 2:31 2:32 I have to say he dances well for a crazy atomic radioactive skeleton.
Love the detail that he can choose whether to burn on touch or not.
this man deserves his revenge
This bloody song is a bangger!
The song is "Wonderlust King" by the band Gogol Bordello. Also check out "Start wearing purple" by them too!
TYSM!
Frankenstein and Bride's chase scene had a cameo by them while playing "American Wedding."
Thug: Let me go
Phosphorus: Very poor choice of words
I wonder if Phosphorus taught the goons to dance or hired dancers to dress aa goons for that one time.
Alan Tudyk wasn’t kidding when he said Phosphorus' backstory was Mystic River level messed up. And Alan absolutely killed the completely unhinged Dr. Phosphorus.
How is it that a villain in 7 minutes is scarier than all the villains from 3 years of Marvel movies?
i could rewatch this forever
If he's a Gotham villain I don't see how the other crime lords like Black Mask, Penguin, even Bane could compete he's a one man army and too OP
DC is in good hands
You said it! 😁👍
Is that Gogol Bordello?
Also I appreciate a criminal/villian who isnt above having their henchman learn coordinated dance moves
Cool dancing moves and theme is half a crime enterprise really. And if you are a burning radioactive skeleton the rest will add up.
@MrVlad12340 yeah reminds me of the black axe gang in Kung fu hustle
Crazy that Batman knew about these these murders but didn’t connect his wife and kid and Rupert thorn even when it was on the news
