I gotta thank you man. I'm slowly going blind and just can't see the letters of comics anymore. You are literally the only way I can get my comic fix anymore. Dude you are really a blessing to me
One little detail that always bugged me about this story was at Wayne tech where they wanna vote Bruce out. Canonically Bruce holds anywhere between 51% - 62% which is the magic ratio when it comes to stock holdings. Even if the other holders pool their stocks they CAN'T over power or vote Bruce out weather they want to or not. Voting out a majority share holder only works if the losses from voting them out are recoverable, like say if Bruce's holdings were 45% or lower and everyone else's shares were below that individually which when pooled together THEN they could vote him out. But canonically if Bruce goes down they go down with him.
Actually, around 1:14:45 they mention that someone bought all of Bruce’s companies semi legally and I’m assuming it’s through shares, which is how they were able to vote him off
Yeah, but as the original poster said: if Bruce still has 51% to 62% and doesn’t put them up for sale, doesn’t matter how much they consolidate, they still have non-majority.
46:31 that is so sad sometimes you can even feel sorry for villain that was equivalent of losing his daughter I actually feel sorry for Killer Croc this story is amazing
I felt more sorry about the kid. Could have made a kickass Robin down the line, or something. (Reptile Girl?) Kinda felt like she _only_ died because it was sad, which I consider a form of lazy writing. Also sorta pissed that Stephanie's friend got blown up. I hate it when stories kill off innocent people who aren't even involved.
@@trillsam7726 "The stakes" are supposed to be established by the plot via good storytelling and effective subtext. A good writer shouldn't need sacrificial lambs just to make their story feel more "serious." That means you've already messed up. Also, how exactly do you think the stakes are raised by this practice? Like, remember in Dark Knight Rises when Bane publicly killed the only guy who could disarm the nuke? _That_ raised the stakes, because it limited Bruce's option and forced him to do something rather drastic to save the city. On the other hand, when the cute mascot kid or the innocent bystander friend is randomly killed, it doesn't put the heroes in more danger or make their job harder, it _just makes them sad._ Killing off minor yet likable characters with low plot relevance is really just a cheap trick for easy pathos, which is why I find it lazy and a bit offensive. It's manipulative, and while I recognize that storytelling itself is inherently a form of emotional manipulation, I do resent when it's done crudely and callously. I hate when I can tell that the author put something in their story _just_ to upset me.
@@RelativelyBest While I have nothing to argue for Stephanie's friend's death (plenty of things would send the same message), Jade's death felt like something to force Selina to decide her being a gang leader was the better choice than staying as Catwoman. I don't see what else would lead her into making that choice.
That's what I was thinking. I just listen at work and makes my day go by sooooo quick. Can't do that with movies or TV shows cause all you hear is grunts and punch sound effects lolol
She-Venom I’m a marvel fan but Batman is by far one of my favorite DC heroes, along with Dr Manhattan and Dr Fate. And speaking of the Arkham games I hope we get a new one at E3 this year, or maybe even a Arkham Origins remaster
Man this storyline was amazing Please do more batman storylines like these Also i love your ultralong videos, i watch them at night as a movie with snacks
As Rob said, this story was pretty solid, I enjoyed it immensely. I like the twist of who really was behind this whole thing :) Also, Benny I am loving these longer videos, they just feel like a sort of movie in a way.
His narration has always been so good. I rewatch full series every now and again just cause it doesn't get old. Realized I took it for granted now that he has passed. Seems like he really enjoyed his job. Glad he got to build such a cool community with timeless comic narrations that we can always appreciate.
Damn son! This storyline is insanely good! I normally listen to the massive Monday videos, but I listen to a period of three or four sessions. This time, that wasn't the case. Also, the best part was when we got to see, ROB at the end haha. I really liked the roll that Hush played in this story. As always, amazing job and very entertaining.
ive never been a huge fan of the comic book world. but this concept has got me hooked. also your delivery is on point. keep it up and thanks for entertaining us during these quarantine times
You’re a great commentator, nobody can voice Batman as good as you, definitely keep them coming bud, you’re the only reason why I subscribed to your channel,
1:07:55 there’s a gravity falls reference with the kids and I love it. The left has a headband and a shooting star sweater like Mabel Pines, and the other one has a puffy jacket and a pine tree hat, just like Dipper Pines.
Bro you and your team are the best!!! I used to spend 8 hours spinning at my desk. finding your channel saved my brain. I love the full stories I legit set my body to auto-pilot and tune into the epicness. Please keep making them. I love your Deadpool Spiderman and Batman arc's I wasn't a fan of flash until you changed me into a speedster. I'm a huge star wars nerd anyway you'll ever consider another full story and other sith stories? I'll watch them all 😎
Anyone can become a hero these days. Toss on a Bedsheet, deepen your voice and be all like"It is I, Bedsheet!" And have your younger sibling jump in, wearing a pillowcase, using a higher pitched voice and be all like, "And I! Pillowcase!"
Man o' man. So happy comic book channels are taking the time to revisit / also taking the newer stories and making one super video. Vs the one at a time method.
Hey man I love the really long full stories they are a great way to just sit back relax and get comic goodness as a person who has difficulties reading at times
No. This is earth prime (main timeline). This owl man is a member of Court of owls and claims he is Bruce's brother. He is not the same from earth 3 ( evil version of Batman). Read court of owls story arc to better understand this.
Is it true that owl man is always going to exist? (There was something mentioned along the lines of he is the true evil version of batman so there will always be a version of him in existence) when og batman ends up finally beating him, owl man just takes his end and says it none of it matters with a smile. I'm assuming because he became aware of his cosmic purpose and knows he will still be around. I find it odd, because no other characters have had this explained to my knowledge. I would assume it would mean every main continuity character has an evil multiverse counterpart that balances them out in the universe.
This was fucking awesome, man. I just did an hour of cardio listening to this and it felt like nothing. Love the voices and music. Keep it up, brother.
Killer Croc being a sympathetic character is so fucking good. Like, half of the villains in Gotham could easily turn on a dime and be sort of morally gray heroes.
More please i love the details the length doesnt matter i listened to it all tge way through during work and it made time go by so fast. I listen to robs multi hour long vids so this isnt too long for me at all lol Thanks for helping me get thru this overnight shift
Thank you for these compendiums. I love to be able to put this on at work and listen I can look at the screen every time I get but it’s not needed your so good. Thank you!
These full story videos are amazing, extremely long, but amazing. I always wanted to watch all the videos but could never get the order right. Thanks Comicstorian !
At the time when this came out in stores issue by issue I was enjoying it right up until clue-master said “shut up the riddler never got this far with you!”, that statement caused me to reread every issue I had which when I did I said flat out loud: “Wait a minute.. this is just the New 52 version of Hush isn’t it?!
i would like to see a detective that is a vampire or werewolf , and uses the extra senses to look for evidence, or even something unique like a mind reader .
I love these long videos!!!! Thank you. I hate tv and this is what i watch to take my time and it gets annoying having to switch videos every 10 min...
I would like just to take this time to say thank you for all you do and all the comics you read to us geeks and nurse out there. Same bat time same bat channel!
This was a long video with a lot of twists, but I like how it had a definitive end to it. Your dramatic reading really brought it to life for me. I also really liked Gordon's speech, it reminded me of what Batman (Christian Bale) said to the Joker (Heath Ledger). One thing I'd love to see if ever possible would be one of these with guest appearance by Kevin Conroy and/or Mark Hammil

Benny helped drag me into comics. His channel was so welcoming and fresh. Him and Rob will always be the reason I stick with comics as long as I do.
Rest in peace, Benny. Your memories will live on through your amazing content.
28:26 I love how Bard tries to "arrest" Croc as if he's not a 7 foot tall reptilian creature that would eviscerate you in half a second
Croc is not 7 feet tall
I mean, he is technically right, since I think croc is over 8 feet tall
This is insane. One of the best Batman stories I've ever heard and your storytelling is epic. Nicely done

@@noahespiritu5524 Yeah but to get those shares Bruce would need to sell them which he obviously wouldn't have done

DC needs a Alfred and Bane buddy cop storyline
Naaaaah, Bane snap necks
Tom king didn't like that
That didn't aged well
@@EvanthiaK05 I'd say it aged perfectly! Every issue of "Pennyworth & Bane" could end with Bane killing Alfred, intentionally or by accident.
Yeah… About that
I love at 30:02 the artist decided to give Red Hood two Halo CE Magnums
Amazing catch, no wonder he's so deadly
30:12 Red Hood is dual wielding Halo Magnums. Does this mean Master Chief is canon in DC?
i noticed that too xD
Oh my gosh your right
His pistols also Connect to make a sniper
I was just gonna comment on that lol. The deadpool vs the marvel universe shows an MA5 as well
i saw that too and i was like is red hood a spartan?????
This is essentially a radio show like they had in the 1930s.

Batman is best hero in DC in my opinion ! I still love playing Arkham Knight it gets never old i

Ninjatrosity TV I thought Arkham Knight was rocksteady's last batman game?
Autobot Drift maybe not their last game but I think it’s their last Batman
She-Venom i agree first time i saw him i loved him.
i like lego superhero game

Oooh snap 1hr 30mnts 33sec, it was totally worth it. Dude im gonna tell you again your freakin amazing your changing my life brother
That Robert cameo at the end was the cherry on top of this epic story. Keep up the amazing work man!
Scott Snyder is one of the best writers

Dude your amazing you got me back into comics I'm glad i found this channel again. Been a few years since i watch your shows
One of my favorite comicstorian videos. I’ve been watching for years now and have always looked forward to Benny’s videos. We will miss you.
Can't believe this was a weekly series, def one of my favorite N52 Batman stories
Someone should ask Batman does he knows the definition of sleep.
1:07:55 there’s a gravity falls reference with the kids and I love it. The left has a headband and a shooting star sweater like Mabel Pines, and the other one has a puffy jacket and a pine tree hat, just like Dipper Pines.
This is my favorite New youtube spot for all the comics that I missed out on, and for bed time relaxation!
This is the second time I’ve listen to this. Each time just as exciting. Great job!

This isn’t healthy, I’ve watched three of these today. And the first one was the entire new 52 Batman😂
I've watched so many of your videos but this is the first time I've posted. Thank you sir. Thank you
I'd love to hear you do Batman: War Games. It's still one of my favorites.
Mine too
Really cool how you comic story tellers hang together! Keep on the good work guys!
Kind of a dick move how they included practically every big batman villain in here but still left out my man two face.
That was awesome! Great story you did a great job! Loved the cameo at the end by Rob.
Really loving these, makes me wish i owned the comics.

“Wait a minute.. this is just the New 52 version of Hush isn’t it?!
I like to look at it as a follow up to the hush story line since the original hush story is still part of the continuity
If you look closely at the moment Batman is asked "Do you find a successor?" you can see it's Terry McGinnis in the future batsuit.
i would like to see a detective that is a vampire or werewolf , and uses the extra senses to look for evidence, or even something unique like a mind reader .
