Too bad Disney now owns 20th Century Fox and I highly doubt they'll want to work with Warner Bros/DC. Then again they did work Sony to let them use Spider-man back to back, so never say never.
You forgot this little tidbit. The predator not only took the skull and spinal column of the boxers, he also took their HANDS as trophies as he saw that this is how this certain warrior fights so the hands were valuable to him.
Dude!! Thanks so much for reviewing this! I had the first book growing up and that's where I got my start with Batman's comics. I remember how crazy and bloody the first story was.... dude you just gave me a huge trip down memory lane. Thanks brother
I have the trilogy in TPB form. It's one of my favorites to just pick up and read, especially the first meeting. I may have to get them digitally. Arris, you should cover SUPERMAN vs. ALIEN next.
I remember when these original issues first came out. I found the ending to be VERY good! All the high-tech stuff that Batman and Predator had were either used up, destroyed, or worthless. Batman ended up going old-school with a baseball bat. I loved it!
The first story of Batman Vs. Predator seems very familiar to the first time Batman faced Bane. Batman Faces a new and very powerful opponent, Nearly dies in combat, Spends some time recovering, And then uses some gadgets and knowledge to defeat the opponent in a second match. EEYEP! The writers had recycled Banes story line for the Predator!
No not really, predator beats bats no problem their first fight. Bane had to release every Arkham inmate and let them all fight Batmans before he just stepped in and broke his shit.
So, it's the same plot as EVERY Batman storyline? (I know it's not but when you break it down to such formulaic plot points, every Batman book would sound the same.)
Joel Farrelly so you're saying if one is using the words A, B, C or numbers 1, 2, 3, and then a full sentence with some of these words and numbers present, it means they're basically saying the same thing? Lol cause your logic of formulaic plot points is as common as math fractions of prime numbers. Meaning what you're saying is every story, Batman or any other fiction are basically recycling their own concept. Otherwise, please elaborate. To brief Knightfall, Batman is weakened after fighting almost every Bat rogues and then Bane breaks his back. In Batman vs Predator, Batman encounters the alien after a series of murders lead to his trails and things went south for him. The only similarity there is that Batman recovers from that attack for a longer period, and back to the differences, there is a replacement Batman whose encounter with Bane went more differently. Again, if you wanna nitpick similarities this is as similar as "bad guy comes to town and hero beats him/her" in summary like every other story out there and you'd only be as right. So it'd be sad to you pretty much not enjoy anything at all.
Sharil Shahed I was referring specifically to how the whole "Batman faces a new and extremely powerful foe, gets beat in the initial confrontation, but then uses his analytical prowess and a bunch of specialized gadgets to eventually take down said foe" bit isn't a plot structure unique to just that one Bane arc. In fact, it's kind of what ALWAYS happens unless you have a truly subversive writer working on the book.
3:35 WOW! F'N AWESOME. DIDN'T EXPECT THAT! Alfred comes out & shotgun blasts The Predator, saving Batman. Great writing. I remember long ago, a more mature Batman series was done or mature Batman books. I would buy stuff like that in a heartbeat.
There is something odd about the story in the first issue: Arris explained that the Predator only kills skilled fighters, then why did it kill the old man? I couldn’t be to simply make a point to Batman, it already killed a gym full of boxers.
There was a short film called Batman dead end , made by someone named Sandy. He used the movie props with out permission so he got in truoble for that.
I'll just leave this here in case someone doesn't know but there's a Batman vs Predator short simply called "Batman vs Predator" it's around 11 years old now and runs at a Max of 240p but it is absolutely worth the watch!
Sandy Collora made an *awesome* Batman vs. Predator (fanmade) movie. It's available on RUclips for anyone who's interested. It's called Batman: Dead End.
I have a copy of the original collected edition from '92. It was the first comic my father ever gave me and it is one of the only possessions I own that I actually care about. :)
Batman's suit in the first Batman vs Predator is the suit I felt should have been included in your alternate Batman suits video! Still the best looking suit you me!
Pretty sure they followed this with Batman Vs Alien, Superman Vs Predator, Superman Vs Alien, and last but not least Batman and Superman Vs Alien and Predator. If memory serves me correctly. I always love DC and Dark Horse crossovers.
thumbs up for the title alone .... but *ONLY* because I trust you Quiznos ...(yeah my wife and I nicknamed you the sandwich shop)... a trust based on not having a history of clickbait... and my early appreciation for your acting & guest hosting work on Ryan's channels ... *RIP FilmState* _I miss you_
The first one, along with the first Batman/Aliens, is a very fun little read. Even as it sat on my shelf for almost 15 years, I never realized that it was Dave Friggin' Gibbons who wrote it. #2 and 3 are pretty bad though. The father Predator seems to miraculously regrow his lost arm halfway through the book iirc.
Batmans the type of guy whos smarter then Einstein, invented grapple guns far better then our own, has a supersuit that can allow him to kick supermans ass (hell-bat, btw, y not just use that suit to capture and detain all criminals in one night batman?) Yet still cant figre out invisibility, which we have
What about the Gotham Villains? The thing these stories often leave out to their own demerit is what the villain response to something like this is. Batman's out of commission and the streets are in chaos as the Predator hunts unchallenged, you'd think it would shift targets to some of Gotham's most notorious criminals or the criminals would make a move against the thing that took out Batman and is now on a rampage. You could have made a whole side story just out of the Joker trying to bait the alien that beat Batman into a confrontation, or someone like Deadshot or Deathstroke hunting the hunter for a bounty put on it by other villains like Penguin or Black Mask, who would not appreciate their operations being disrupted by a Predator on the hunt. These what ifs are always cool but never go far enough in exploring their premise in my opinion.
This needs to become an r rated film or animated film.
I always said that
Too bad Disney now owns 20th Century Fox and I highly doubt they'll want to work with Warner Bros/DC. Then again they did work Sony to let them use Spider-man back to back, so never say never.
hopefully it does
Well, they did it for Batman vs TMNT, so I have hope.
made the trailer ruclips.net/video/IuAykIJ7DP0/видео.html
Just imagine if there was a movie about this
Gareth Poon which batman would it be affleck bale or keaton
Kaleb Santos why would it be Keaton.
That One Guy at 7/11 I dunno he wasn't a bad batman
Bale
batfleck
You forgot this little tidbit. The predator not only took the skull and spinal column of the boxers, he also took their HANDS as trophies as he saw that this is how this certain warrior fights so the hands were valuable to him.
Alfred:what if they come back?
Batman: they wont now that they have met what lives in Gotham
Drake Esteban
The predators won't come back after they encountered Alfred
I was about to comment this. What a badass
@@edwarduy2767 they kept coming back till he insulted a pair by capturing one of them and leaving them tied up.
Predator beat him to an inch of his life
@@grandcanyon-fu9zt and that was their biggest mistake leaving him alive
Dude!! Thanks so much for reviewing this! I had the first book growing up and that's where I got my start with Batman's comics. I remember how crazy and bloody the first story was.... dude you just gave me a huge trip down memory lane. Thanks brother
3.48 damn bet that baseball bet contains the anti-life equation or something.
Jason Nge nah just kryptonian wood
Dongus.inc I thought that was the nickname for Superman's junk
+@@ChineduOpara *the anti-life equation
Reverse life
No probably because Batmans pissed
I have the trilogy in TPB form. It's one of my favorites to just pick up and read, especially the first meeting. I may have to get them digitally.
Arris, you should cover SUPERMAN vs. ALIEN next.
The greatest power is how Arris changed shirts near the end of the episode without us knowing.
Why isn't this a movie yet?
Batman vs Batman
Yes I'm sure it happened
Jonanator 😂😂😂😂
Sorry but if it doesn't have one of the batmans saying Martha and the other one screaming at him "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME" then I'm not interested.
Yup, Bruce Wayne vs Jean Paul Valley.
Blood Knight bvs jokes aren't funny anymore
Jonanator it happened in batman the animated series
I would've lost it if Arnold Schwarzenegger called Batman telling him the secret to making the Predator "blind"
Some maniac in a bat suit fighting an alien? That's ridiculou- Oh wait
I remember when these original issues first came out. I found the ending to be VERY good! All the high-tech stuff that Batman and Predator had were either used up, destroyed, or worthless. Batman ended up going old-school with a baseball bat. I loved it!
You should read archie and the predator yeah its a thing
.. and recent [passing] tangent on TheWeeklyPlanet comic book podcast
Ethanbossgames 15 Predator murdered them.
Isn't there a zombie archie
Ethanbossgames 15 Also Punisher vs Archie
Ethanbossgames 15 I thought that it was going to be one of the stupidest crossovers ever, but I ended up actually liking it.
The first story of Batman Vs. Predator seems very familiar to the first time Batman faced Bane.
Batman Faces a new and very powerful opponent, Nearly dies in combat, Spends some time recovering, And then uses some gadgets and knowledge to defeat the opponent in a second match.
EEYEP! The writers had recycled Banes story line for the Predator!
Well can it go any differently? I believe no to be honest..
No not really, predator beats bats no problem their first fight.
Bane had to release every Arkham inmate and let them all fight Batmans before he just stepped in and broke his shit.

You should do the times that Batman fought the Aliens
Cbat 1612 Do You mean Xenomorphs?
No , just aliens
lets not forget Batman & Superman vs Vampires & Werewolves
I just read those, thought they were pretty damn good
It'd be real lit to see them fight on the big screen or real life
not really with batman’s plot armor
Damn that's a pretty badass story
My favorite comic team-up when I was in High School back in the early 90's. So awesome.
All this fighting could been avoided if Batman just gave predator an autograph.😄
I've only read part 3 but now I have to read part 1now Thanx variant
ChainberTV You should. As Arris mentioned, the first meeting is by far the best.
2 year anniversary of my subscription to this channel spent whole watching old episodes of variant
That was so cool
Nick Samaroo true babe
4:00 Oh Arris I love your sense of humor never change cause that was awesome. 😁
I just laughed way to hard at that Bat joke, good stuff brother, good stuff lmfao
3:35 WOW! F'N AWESOME. DIDN'T EXPECT THAT! Alfred comes out & shotgun blasts The Predator, saving Batman. Great writing. I remember long ago, a more mature Batman series was done or mature Batman books. I would buy stuff like that in a heartbeat.
Yo you the man bro. You do a great job narrating the stories.
There is something odd about the story in the first issue: Arris explained that the Predator only kills skilled fighters, then why did it kill the old man? I couldn’t be to simply make a point to Batman, it already killed a gym full of boxers.
There was a short film called Batman dead end , made by someone named Sandy. He used the movie props with out permission so he got in truoble for that.
great video you should do one when Green Lantern fought the Xenomorphs
This was one of my favorite cross overs
Love your videos man
I'll just leave this here in case someone doesn't know but there's a Batman vs Predator short simply called "Batman vs Predator" it's around 11 years old now and runs at a Max of 240p but it is absolutely worth the watch!
Love your vids keep up the good quality and God bless you
Sandy Collora made an *awesome* Batman vs. Predator (fanmade) movie. It's available on RUclips for anyone who's interested. It's called Batman: Dead End.
I have a copy of the original collected edition from '92.
It was the first comic my father ever gave me and it is one of the only possessions I own that I actually care about. :)
I think we all can agree that Alfred is a bad-ass.
Imagine Batman vs Xenomorph
Little Snack there is around four comics of that
It happened
It's a thing
"They won't not now that they know who lives in gotham" damn that's savage and badass I guess that's why his batman
One of the first comics my dad ever bought me because I loved the predator movies (and read batman anyways) so I remember this fondly.
11 years old back then....I had that book! Good times! Wish I kept it...
I think that sonar suit batman puts on to go up against the predator is absolutely sick!!!
Love it
This also continues into Batman vs Predator vs Alien
WOW LOVE YOUR SHIRT... Love your channel..
I would love to see Kraven vs Predator.
Now that be dope but scary man 😂 kraven would win and be knows as kraven the predator with his gear and all bye bye spiderman
I love the first one. The Sonar Armour looked amazing. It was the first Predator comic I ever read.
Have to agree, if you're a huge fan of Batman and Predator, this is a must read.
Batman's suit in the first Batman vs Predator is the suit I felt should have been included in your alternate Batman suits video! Still the best looking suit you me!
3:56 good one! 😂😂
“That’s exactly what he did cause at the end of the day he is batman” I’m so high and caught that joke so quick and closed my eyes because wow lol
Alfred: what if they come back?
Batman: uh, call Superman, I'm busy
god, i loved these so much as a kid. i will never forget the way Gibbons drew that blood
Very cool. Thanks. Great video.
Goddamn, that pred has to be a high rank to be able to beat bats as badly as that
I didn’t expect him to say “ he is Batman”
"He had a bat but at the end of the day he is batman"
I love this Channel!!
Do a video on Superman and Batman versus Alien and Predator!
the art is AMAZING
My two favorite fictional characters going face to face??? I need to read this!!!
Hey variant can you do video about how powerfull is raven , zatana ,captein atom and trigon.
Btw great video!
Me: I dont usually give a like to any old video
Arris: 3:56
Me: *Repeatedly pushes like button*
Pretty sure they followed this with Batman Vs Alien, Superman Vs Predator, Superman Vs Alien, and last but not least Batman and Superman Vs Alien and Predator. If memory serves me correctly. I always love DC and Dark Horse crossovers.
thumbs up for the title alone .... but *ONLY* because I trust you Quiznos ...(yeah my wife and I nicknamed you the sandwich shop)... a trust based on not having a history of clickbait... and my early appreciation for your acting & guest hosting work on Ryan's channels ... *RIP FilmState* _I miss you_
I used to love these crossovers. I have their third book somewhere with some water damage and the last page missing lol
batmans exosuit kinda reminds me of batmans armour from batman vs superman
Steven Hunter what about batman the brave and the bold
Have you ever considered doing Alex Merced from prototype? I'm sure people know but I'd love to hear your rendition of it?
I loved this story especially the first series which I have thank you for doing this
Sorry guy in a coma, looks like someone already beat you to it
Lol ya had good jokes clean but still good hahaha. Good job dude
The T-shirt changes somewhere along the way, from Batman to Red Hood
hey arris please make a video on DC's timberwolf...he's been my favourite superhero since my childhood
If Batman needed with predator he could ask Mr.Freeze
This one of my favorite so far as batman
The first one, along with the first Batman/Aliens, is a very fun little read. Even as it sat on my shelf for almost 15 years, I never realized that it was Dave Friggin' Gibbons who wrote it.
#2 and 3 are pretty bad though. The father Predator seems to miraculously regrow his lost arm halfway through the book iirc.
Just when i thought Batman couldn't be more badass he fights the Predator......
Could you do a mogo vs ego video?
This was probably the first mini series I owned in it's entirety and also the first time I read the word "idiot"
The Predators do not fear batman, they fear Alfred...
Batmans the type of guy whos smarter then Einstein, invented grapple guns far better then our own, has a supersuit that can allow him to kick supermans ass (hell-bat, btw, y not just use that suit to capture and detain all criminals in one night batman?) Yet still cant figre out invisibility, which we have
We dont have invisibility
Hell-bat armour isn't made by Batman...
^ we do, to girls..
Ismail x **Created a grappling hook that won't rip off your arm when u use it
zahir fakirzay it wasn't created by him but it was created for him he can use it if he wants to
I first read the comic as a kid in a grocery store while my parents shopped. All of them. I was 10 lol
3:56 got me dying 😂😂😂
Damn o havent watch varient in a long time new intro and background
Please do more on weird crossovers! Regardless though, always enjoy your vids my dude!
glad you're back. :)
One of my favorites! The first.
It's safe to say the predator can kill batman 1v1
This was a great comic! Along with Batman v Alien and Superman v Alien.. Great crossovers!
That shirt-change 😂
Your Red Hood Tee is awesome!!!!
One of my favorites. Would make an amazing movie!...if done right
Batman is so badass that Predators won't enter Gotham because Batman simply lives in Gotham
I love your shirt!!
woah nice story
Even Robin knew thats why they call him BAT-man.
since then predator found his fear .
and he became batdator
WAIT .....Predator's armour couldn't resist the fucking baseball bat . Well, in that case I am ready to kick some high-tech alien's ass.💪
It's the power suit
What about the Gotham Villains? The thing these stories often leave out to their own demerit is what the villain response to something like this is. Batman's out of commission and the streets are in chaos as the Predator hunts unchallenged, you'd think it would shift targets to some of Gotham's most notorious criminals or the criminals would make a move against the thing that took out Batman and is now on a rampage.

Lucille was bashing in heads before Rick Grimes was a thought.
Dude you should cover Alien hive amazing read!
