The batman wearing different colors is like the shit speed runners do. It makes no sense to non-gamers/speedrunners but for _some unholy reason_ it makes the run faster than any other route.

A fun bit of trivia: the 'blue' Batman suit of the early iterations was usually meant to be seen as black (in the same way black hair in old comics often has blue streaks.) The old cartoon given as an example was made in an era where black and gray paint/ink was expensive and not practical for coloring in animation cels.
Yeah! This is actually the same reason that Spider-Man is now depicted as red and blue. Originally, he was supposed to be red and black but constant iterations from this effect just gradually turned him blue
Interesting fact about the target bit and shooting where the steel plate was. It's later referenced in a few movies/comics/games that the bat symbol on his chest is the strongest part of the armor on his suits. Why? Because people are more likely to shoot the symbol, thus ignoring the rest of the weak spots in his armor. A few people are aware of this, particularly Commissioner Gordan, which comes in useful when he is forced to shot the caped crusader off of a building. He shoots the bat-brained buffoon in his chest, right on the bat symbol, thus causing batman no harm, but tricks the villain into thinking he's killed batman.
@@JesseTwillaTUBA Yes it was in Arkham Knight. The Arkham Knight also talks about him knowing that about Batman's suit and he shoots Batman in a weaker spot of his armor point-blank.
Regardless of how pointless it is, it kicks ass. What's more intimidating than a man in the 60's who is wearing a full-body rainbow costume without fear?
I honestly thought the idea was gonna be that the criminals were gonna hide a gun in the camera or something, and when Batman went out in his stupid outfits, all the cameras would look at him except for the one pointing at who they were gonna kill, and that’s how they would know who the bad guys are. God that was so much worse lol
Actually, Mr. Huggbees, the entire reason batman wears that bright yellow sigil on his chest is for the same reason he claimed he wore a target. In the mass of black and grey and dark blue cloth that is the batsuit, the only two bright points are his face and his chest. The big fat symbol instinctively draws the eye due to the principle of contrast, and in draawing the eye, it draws the aim as well. This is also why his cape is so massive. Beyond making him look batlike when he glides, the giant swooshy cape breaks up his outline and makes it hard to find his body in the dark. And if you can't see anything to aim at in a dark mass but a bright yellow spot. then you're going to aim at it.
Unironically, this is why I'm so bad at shooting Mercy in Overwatch. While flying, her wings are spread out but don't have a hit box, and everything is outlined obnoxiously, so I end up shooting right behind her and getting butt frustrated.
That's actually... quite clever, and makes sense, he is a shady, hard to see figure most of the time, so by giving a clear spot on his body, people will be more likely to aim there, thus... making that spot specially armored/visible is actually not a bad strategy. I mean it won't be foolproof, some people might be aware of it and ignore it. But sure as heck I'd end up aiming at the one easy to see spot on my target, if I was in the imddle of the night and trying to stop him.

Honestly, just relate the rainbow batsuit to the lanturn rings. That's a very easy way to justify the rainbow suit, and can even explain why he's ditched black, since that's necro's color of power, and batman's still miffed he used his skull as a weapon that one time.
Really love these videos and these random topics. You are achieving peek comedy here. Hope there is enough random BS so that you can do this for as long as you like. Also it’s the same. It’s never a cookie cutter video. From last meals, to blowing up the moon, to batsuits to turning a sphere inside out…. Amazing
It reminds me of those things that used to exist.. yknow, websites? They were great. You could have a website with a variety of different content, and you never knew what was getting covered next, or in what way. It was fantastic but it didn't make anyone enough money so they're gone now.
the bullseye thing is also used in arkham knight. The bat symbol on his chest is extra armored, since it draws the eye and people would aim at it. This is stated if you listen to the arkham knight's speech when he has you behind the bullet proof glass.
I mean, I still appreciate Spiro Agnew jokes and I was born in 1985. It's not really special or necessary to remember 8... 12... holy fucking cow 14 years ago. Okay maybe that is worth mentioning.
Probably been mentioned, but in the Arkham games they say that the armour is stronger near Batman’s symbol, because people shoot at the symbol more. So he really does wear a target with armour underneath it on his chest all the time.
Yellow batman, i can't believe it... HEY GET THAT PICTURE OF THE SIGNAL OUT OF HERE Damn, Batman wearing yellow, did you see ... HEY GET PICTURES OF EVERY BATMAN WITH YELLOW SIGIL OUT OF HERE
I'm loving that more of the more obscure DC characters are getting live-action adaptations (Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn, Birds of Prey, Peacemaker, to a lesser extent Aquaman with Black Manta, etc.) because it really takes the dumbest-looking outfits and stupidest characters in theory (characters that when you take a step back you realize how dumb they look or how dumb they are; there's a lot that fit this and most of them were in the two Suicide Squad movies and Harley Quinn movie; I didn't watch the new Superman show, Doom Patrol, The Flash, Arrow, or Titans, I have seen the stand-alone Harley Quinn show, but knowing there's a character called Robot Man, I kind of get that that's the same kind of stupidity-in-hindsight) and they're making these action-packed drama-adventures out of them while making you root for these costumed cooks. It's like going back not even 10 years and telling a gamer that Steve from Minecraft, Banjo Kazooie, Sans from Undertale, and Sora are going to be in a Super Smash Bros game together, except with D-list DC characters, it's that level of absurdity and I love it. I had zero fucking clue who any of these characters were before these movies and shows and I love them. If you told some comic book nerd 10 years ago that he'd be crying over Polka-Dot Man, they would laugh at you.
This is one of the reasons I loved the recent Harley Quinn show. They had plenty of weird, obscure characters just coexisting with normal people and it was the best thing ever.
I love that they were able to make Aquaman and Black Manta look cool without changing their looks too much. I’ve had a soft spot for Aquaman since I saw Superfriends on Boomerang.
Okay, Batman Zur-En-Arrh is a lot more cooler, because he's basically Bruce Wayne alt persona but even more unhinged. Like, actually close to killing unhinged. Edit: Did a little bit more research on Zur-En-Arrh, and I was basically right about the stuff I said before, but there's even more cool stuff about him. He's basically a backup personality for Batman if he was ever badly psychologically damaged, so he can keep on going and Bat-Mite (Yes, the 5th dimensional trickster imp), is a kind of imaginary figure made by Batman's last rational thoughts to stop him from doing things like killing (Bat-Mite isn't real in this Batman comic run, I think, but I could be wrong.)
Batman Nipple-Suit Time. Oooh but what mysteries will I learn of. Edit: "Because the people of gotham have never seen the color blue before" As usual I am incredibly happy, as much as Id love a rainbow Batman that meant something, i think this will now be my go to of stupidest outfits.
there's been multiple times in batman media that says the bat icon on his chest is a bulleye and its where his armor is strongest so yes he basically always does that
The issue here is that the bullseye isn't really a good target. Batman works at night so a bright yellow symbol is way more visible then the rest of him, so would actually draw a shooters attention. But bullseye Batman is working in the middle of the day, making his entire body easily visible, and so the target isn't really drawing any attention
13:24 I mean, that's the very reason many iterations have the Batsymbol on his chest such a contrasting color to the rest of the suit. It makes for an easier and larger target than his head, and that part of his suit requires the least flexibility so it gets the heaviest armor built in. It literally is a target for thugs to aim for, just much more subtle than a literal target. Same goes for Punisher's bright, white skull. It's painted onto a ballistic vest so they won't be as likely to aim for the head...
It's supposed to be shining on the side of a skyscraper if it's not cloudy. My guess is it's so fucking smoggy that they're shining it in the sky anyway
Batman’s plan with the colorful suits is basically that meme where there’s an image with a red circle and arrow pointing at nothing, and then you don’t notice Goku in the corner of the image because of it.
About the target thing, Batman technically uses the same trick all the time, when he wears a bat suit with his yellow logo, it’s the clearest thing to see in the dark so anyone with a gun would shoot at that because it’s the only thing that’s visible, but it also happens to be the hardest part of the armour. Another reason is that the yellow symbol doesn’t scare children
“Joker is putting joker semen in the water supply and two face is chewing on a battery long enough to make himself into 3face” How do you come up with this nonsense?! It’s amazing!
The bullseye is actually just a more extreme version of what he already does. His bat symbol is more armored than anything else on his suit, because people will automatically aim for the most prominent target on a person.
@@alexanderchristopher6237 oh shit good point hold on let me find an inflation calculator ... Holy Fucking Shit That is the equivalent of $11,202,704.63
I have a poster on my wall that has a bunch of old Batman comic covers on it, and the rainbow Batman cover has always been my favorite for some reason, others include Batman with Santa, Robins first appearance, Batman #1, and Batman and Robin being imprisoned by giant robots
The bullseye thing isn't that weird considering many modern stories have made it clear that the BAT LOGO on the chest of the Batsuit is intended to draw enemy fire as the chest portion is heavily armored! So yeah, while the Bullseye Batsuit is silly, the concept has actually been incorporated into the lore of the Batsuit that the bat logo serves the same purpose as the Bullseye on the Bullseye Batsuit!
Fun fact: half of the stupid Batman costumes Huggbees bought up in the intro, including Azrael Batman, Zebra Batman and Rainbow Batman are actually featured as DLC in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham to celebrate Batman's 75th anniversary.
Fun fact that pretty much everyone that keeps up with Batman comics knows, Zur-En-Arrh was remade to be an alternate personality created by Batman himself in case he was attacked mentally. Pretty sure the last appearance he made as the alien has been in Brave and the Bold.
I want to mention that Brave and the Bold also made fun of the movie costumes by pointing out the bat nipples (the costume forms on Batman and they shoot out before going back down on the costume) and how hard they were for him to turn his neck in as struggles to move when he's put in one.
I can still remember when I was a kid I had two different orange-and-black Batman action figures. One was based on the Animated Series and it was like, Sky Diver Batman or something, and the other was based on the Batman & Robin film and there was a pair of Batman and Robin in like orange "heat" suits. For as many weird suits have been in the comics, the toys have like ten times more lmao
And here I thought the reason for the different-colored suits was going to be that, if they ever got their hands on footage from the stolen camera somehow, they could easily date/place it based on what color Batman was wearing and thus place the thieves as well. Silly me.
The target chest costume is redundant because the bat symbol on the chest is meant to serve the same purpose (as it's the most armored part of the suit).
About Batman wearing a bullseye on his chest, he sort of does that on a regular basis with the Bat logo. And it's the exact reason you think: to direct fire to his chest.
when you asked what colour batman would do next I said "idk purple?" then instantly you said "purple" kinda freaked me out a little for a second before I remembered this is a youtube video posted 1 year ago
All Star Batman: Where Batman and Black Canary bone while a group of thugs burn to death in a gasoline fire. Nothing gets him harder then the screams of the dying and the smell of melting flesh.

You forgot Zebra Batman's Lego figure. It's worth a couple thousand bucks cause it was a Comic Con exclusive. There are several great/goofy Lego Batman figures though; Money Suit, Wizard, Fairy Princess, Mermaid, Glam Metal....the list goes on
I think Batman was just jealous that Robin would get more attention than him with his broken arm so he dressed up to keep him out of the spotlight Batman's a narcissist
I actually liked the "Azbat" suit, it showed how Azrael wanted to be better, with a heavier more intimidating (with the claws and all) suit. It was good to see Bruce come back in his traditional costume and fight Azrael with the contrasts between them. To me, it shows the insecurity of Az how he wants more protection than the normal batsuit, also he was probably scared seeing what Bane did to Bruce. I might be looking to hard into this but in some parts he looked cool as fuck
My favorite use of the rainbow batman suit was when in lego batman lex luthor created a deconstruction ray that would destroy anything black. This means batman could not wear the black suit or he risked getting ripped apart as the costume violently disassembled itself

Maybe it's because I did just come from the All-Star Batman video, but it's actually ridiculously endearing to imagine Batman walking around in broad daylight wearing a gaudily colored and themed suit. He's having fun.
I absolutely thought it was going to be: Robin is injured so he can't help batman, so batman wears crazy costumes to every event covered by news cameras, all the cameras point at him, the one time a camera doesn't point at him he knows that's the bad guys. No it just turned out to be stupid instead.
This is some of my favorite content of yours, and it's nice to get these every once in a while. I love that your content isn't bound to one particular thing anymore because whenever you branch out you strike gold.
The yellow within certain Bat-Bat-Chest-Icons (™Wayne Enterprises) is the punisher/bullseye thing. Robin didn't report to the reporter initially because his arm was just injured, and the reporter would've noticed.
I'm gonna defend that Brave & the Bold "plothole", the Rainbow Monster fired the green ray at Robin which hit him on the yellow part of his suit. Since the cape was covering the sleeves, the attack couldn't be deflected
@@Rad-Dude63andathird The colors are all vertical, not horizontal. So no matter what ray hits Batman he's fine, unlike if the rainbow was horizontal or if his costume pieces were color-blocked

They took a whole set of those spinny stool chairs from the restaurant, and they were BOLTED DOWN. These guys literally, in plain view of sight, UNSCREWED THESE CHAIRS AND STOLE THEM. Dif we ever catch them? Somehow, we did not. Did our managers care? I don't think they got paid enough to do so. So in conclusion, YES, you could definitely swap out a 300 pound camera without anyone batting an eye.
Jesus, did Sam Starfall visit your McDonalds and have a vendetta against the manager?
So we're talking about Batman wearing red and we're not gonna talk about the heat suit from Lego Batman the Videogame?

hell just about every charatcer in the 90s had a imageification of superheros/comicbooks image being the 3rd big comic company that poped up in the 90s that was notrious at the time for being over the top edgy shit like youngblood and any thing rob liefield made in the 90s outside of cable and deadpool which was 90s but was given greater characterisation and depth after rob left and others took over the charatcer..when rob made deadpool he was jsut a 90's deathstroke rip off but then jerry dugon came in and gave deadpool the uniqe personalty and characterisation he has today so he survived this era due to better writers and creators fixing him and cable later....
and then the imageifcation of comics in the 90' then infested both marvel and dc causeing them to make " radical" updates to "old timey characters" and the azbats suit was made by the creator team at the time to parody how dumb the over the top edgyness trend of the 90s that was souless and was about style over substance and the azbat suit was made to satire the medium at the time and evenutally changed back to the orignal batman as the azbats suit ran out of style and never really appeared again much and was scene as one of batmans most embarassingly bad peirods in batman history and wasnt long lasting or timeless like the og batman based charatcer/design is because it wasnt made to be timeless it was made to satire the state of the comicbook medium at the time and the more we move a way from the 90s the more irrelevent and purposefully dated azbats gets as its so over designed and is literally trying to hard to be edgy to satire the style over subatance approch of the 90s...azbats is a relic of the dark times of the 90's period in comics and ususally 90s kids didnt realise that azbats was surpost to be satire and took it seriously and unironicly liked it and cant except its garbage and dus are stuck in the 90s and cant accept that its poorly made and aged edgy 90s trash... made to satire poorly made and aged edgy 90s trash

Honestly, just relate the rainbow batsuit to the lanturn rings. That's a very easy way to justify the rainbow suit, and can even explain why he's ditched black, since that's necro's color of power, and batman's still miffed he used his skull as a weapon that one time.

the bullseye thing is also used in arkham knight. The bat symbol on his chest is extra armored, since it draws the eye and people would aim at it. This is stated if you listen to the arkham knight's speech when he has you behind the bullet proof glass.

"A doctor, played by Dick Cheney". As a man who remembers the Dubya years, I appreciate this joke.
I mean, I still appreciate Spiro Agnew jokes and I was born in 1985. It's not really special or necessary to remember 8... 12... holy fucking cow 14 years ago. Okay maybe that is worth mentioning.
Probably been mentioned, but in the Arkham games they say that the armour is stronger near Batman’s symbol, because people shoot at the symbol more.
So he really does wear a target with armour underneath it on his chest all the time.
So basically the brave and the bold batmans explanation for the rainbow suit is pokemon type counter picking

Bullseye Batman killed me. I'm deceased. I've been dying of laughter for the past 10 minutes and this has been the best 10 minutes of my life
I'm loving that more of the more obscure DC characters are getting live-action adaptations (Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn, Birds of Prey, Peacemaker, to a lesser extent Aquaman with Black Manta, etc.) because it really takes the dumbest-looking outfits and stupidest characters in theory (characters that when you take a step back you realize how dumb they look or how dumb they are; there's a lot that fit this and most of them were in the two Suicide Squad movies and Harley Quinn movie; I didn't watch the new Superman show, Doom Patrol, The Flash, Arrow, or Titans, I have seen the stand-alone Harley Quinn show, but knowing there's a character called Robot Man, I kind of get that that's the same kind of stupidity-in-hindsight) and they're making these action-packed drama-adventures out of them while making you root for these costumed cooks. It's like going back not even 10 years and telling a gamer that Steve from Minecraft, Banjo Kazooie, Sans from Undertale, and Sora are going to be in a Super Smash Bros game together, except with D-list DC characters, it's that level of absurdity and I love it. I had zero fucking clue who any of these characters were before these movies and shows and I love them. If you told some comic book nerd 10 years ago that he'd be crying over Polka-Dot Man, they would laugh at you.
This is one of the reasons I loved the recent Harley Quinn show. They had plenty of weird, obscure characters just coexisting with normal people and it was the best thing ever.
I love that they were able to make Aquaman and Black Manta look cool without changing their looks too much. I’ve had a soft spot for Aquaman since I saw Superfriends on Boomerang.
Highly recommend Doom Patrol, very fun. I've also enjoyed Arrow, and The Flash.
Playing a dangerous game with the different color Batman joke, I like it
Okay, Batman Zur-En-Arrh is a lot more cooler, because he's basically Bruce Wayne alt persona but even more unhinged. Like, actually close to killing unhinged.
Edit: Did a little bit more research on Zur-En-Arrh, and I was basically right about the stuff I said before, but there's even more cool stuff about him. He's basically a backup personality for Batman if he was ever badly psychologically damaged, so he can keep on going and Bat-Mite (Yes, the 5th dimensional trickster imp), is a kind of imaginary figure made by Batman's last rational thoughts to stop him from doing things like killing (Bat-Mite isn't real in this Batman comic run, I think, but I could be wrong.)

As usual I am incredibly happy, as much as Id love a rainbow Batman that meant something, i think this will now be my go to of stupidest outfits.
there's been multiple times in batman media that says the bat icon on his chest is a bulleye and its where his armor is strongest so yes he basically always does that
Huh I just thought it was just because Batman put his logo on everything
A small plot point in Arkham Knight, too
The issue here is that the bullseye isn't really a good target.
Batman works at night so a bright yellow symbol is way more visible then the rest of him, so would actually draw a shooters attention.
But bullseye Batman is working in the middle of the day, making his entire body easily visible, and so the target isn't really drawing any attention
13:24 I mean, that's the very reason many iterations have the Batsymbol on his chest such a contrasting color to the rest of the suit. It makes for an easier and larger target than his head, and that part of his suit requires the least flexibility so it gets the heaviest armor built in. It literally is a target for thugs to aim for, just much more subtle than a literal target.
Same goes for Punisher's bright, white skull. It's painted onto a ballistic vest so they won't be as likely to aim for the head...
"Hold the fucking Bat-Phone"
Best possible line for this video. 😂
The silver age was fucking wild.
I was already aware of Rainbow Batman.
I was not aware just how ridiculous the story is.
9:25 How the hell is the Bat-signal shining in the middle of the day?
It's supposed to be shining on the side of a skyscraper if it's not cloudy. My guess is it's so fucking smoggy that they're shining it in the sky anyway
Batman’s plan with the colorful suits is basically that meme where there’s an image with a red circle and arrow pointing at nothing, and then you don’t notice Goku in the corner of the image because of it.
A red Batman can you imagin- HEY GET THAT PHOTO OF THE RED DEATH OFF THE SCREEN a red Batman
Honestly the “One handed driving controls” is probably just an automatic transmission.
About the target thing, Batman technically uses the same trick all the time, when he wears a bat suit with his yellow logo, it’s the clearest thing to see in the dark so anyone with a gun would shoot at that because it’s the only thing that’s visible, but it also happens to be the hardest part of the armour. Another reason is that the yellow symbol doesn’t scare children
Would love for this to become a recurring series, with Huggbees breaking down some of the worst silver age stories from his favorite heroes.

I would forfeit How It’s Actually Made to see a series of you reading the stupidest 20th century comic plots we can find.
The bullseye is actually just a more extreme version of what he already does. His bat symbol is more armored than anything else on his suit, because people will automatically aim for the most prominent target on a person.
That panel with snowflame at about 1:10 was foreshadowing none of us expected

"I should cover all-star Batman" yep, I think I know what's up to BAT next!
I have a poster on my wall that has a bunch of old Batman comic covers on it, and the rainbow Batman cover has always been my favorite for some reason, others include Batman with Santa, Robins first appearance, Batman #1, and Batman and Robin being imprisoned by giant robots
The bullseye thing isn't that weird considering many modern stories have made it clear that the BAT LOGO on the chest of the Batsuit is intended to draw enemy fire as the chest portion is heavily armored! So yeah, while the Bullseye Batsuit is silly, the concept has actually been incorporated into the lore of the Batsuit that the bat logo serves the same purpose as the Bullseye on the Bullseye Batsuit!
Fun fact: half of the stupid Batman costumes Huggbees bought up in the intro, including Azrael Batman, Zebra Batman and Rainbow Batman are actually featured as DLC in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham to celebrate Batman's 75th anniversary.
My favorite silver age story is where batman proves in court that Bruce Wayne is not Batman by wearing Supermans pants
Fun fact that pretty much everyone that keeps up with Batman comics knows, Zur-En-Arrh was remade to be an alternate personality created by Batman himself in case he was attacked mentally. Pretty sure the last appearance he made as the alien has been in Brave and the Bold.
I want to mention that Brave and the Bold also made fun of the movie costumes by pointing out the bat nipples (the costume forms on Batman and they shoot out before going back down on the costume) and how hard they were for him to turn his neck in as struggles to move when he's put in one.
I can still remember when I was a kid I had two different orange-and-black Batman action figures. One was based on the Animated Series and it was like, Sky Diver Batman or something, and the other was based on the Batman & Robin film and there was a pair of Batman and Robin in like orange "heat" suits.
For as many weird suits have been in the comics, the toys have like ten times more lmao
If I found a crap ton of Funko Pop I would melt them to recycle and reproduce plastic mold.
Reproduce 🤔🤨
And here I thought the reason for the different-colored suits was going to be that, if they ever got their hands on footage from the stolen camera somehow, they could easily date/place it based on what color Batman was wearing and thus place the thieves as well. Silly me.
The target chest costume is redundant because the bat symbol on the chest is meant to serve the same purpose (as it's the most armored part of the suit).
See, this is why I just stick with Scarecrow. Every girl's crazy 'bout a burlap dressed man.
At least his outfits are consistent. Relatively, anyway.
About Batman wearing a bullseye on his chest, he sort of does that on a regular basis with the Bat logo.
And it's the exact reason you think: to direct fire to his chest.
when you asked what colour batman would do next I said "idk purple?" then instantly you said "purple" kinda freaked me out a little for a second before I remembered this is a youtube video posted 1 year ago

I think Batman was just jealous that Robin would get more attention than him with his broken arm so he dressed up to keep him out of the spotlight
Batman's a narcissist
You're telling me that the RAINBOW Creature was being used for evil by Firefly AND NOT CRAZY QUILT??
The entire premise fell apart the moment Robin yelled out who the camera thieves were
I actually liked the "Azbat" suit, it showed how Azrael wanted to be better, with a heavier more intimidating (with the claws and all) suit. It was good to see Bruce come back in his traditional costume and fight Azrael with the contrasts between them. To me, it shows the insecurity of Az how he wants more protection than the normal batsuit, also he was probably scared seeing what Bane did to Bruce. I might be looking to hard into this but in some parts he looked cool as fuck
My favorite use of the rainbow batman suit was when in lego batman lex luthor created a deconstruction ray that would destroy anything black. This means batman could not wear the black suit or he risked getting ripped apart as the costume violently disassembled itself
"The confusion of setting our equipment up" damn, they lost track of the camera during the set up of the camera.

Robin is injured so he can't help batman, so batman wears crazy costumes to every event covered by news cameras, all the cameras point at him, the one time a camera doesn't point at him he knows that's the bad guys.

13:26 isn't that also why the punisher wears that skull on his shirt?
The yellow within certain Bat-Bat-Chest-Icons (™Wayne Enterprises) is the punisher/bullseye thing.
