Lovecraft wrote a short story called "Cool Air" about a man who died, but kept himself animated and conscious afterward using subzero temperatures. When his refrigeration equipment broke, he melted into a puddle of liquefied flesh. The Mr. Freeze parallel works well.
Lovecraft's letters indicate that he was extremely sensitive to cold. He also had a fear of the ocean and marine life in general. These aversions contributed to a number of his stories.
I thought it was for the cold man cometh which had a man a lot more close to freeze where he has to have cold temp so his flesh wouldn’t fall..of course it breaks and he dies
This ending for the else world kinda made me feel bad for the gang. Bruce will forever be a Bat Creature, Dick and Sanjay killed off. Everyone was lost to save others. Noble, yet sad to see.
I hated it at first but came to realize the Premise is broken that the concept of “the old ones” was about the hopelessness to the greater beings of this world as they’ve been here far longer and reality warps to fit them in essentially “The Batman” is our only capable defence against them in times of limited science and who better than him ti make sure this never happens again he breaks the formula that lovecraft stories always end in, He is the hope
I honestly didn’t make the Grendin/Mr. Freeze connection at first. I see it now, but I’m also not 100% sure they meant for him to be “Mr. Freeze” at all in this movie
I think that's the point. I mean, no one was the characters we previously know. Bruce wasn't Batman till he became a literal batman. Killer Croc was just a reptile monster. Poison Ivy was just a plant demon. Harvey didn't become Two-Face, he just got half his body mutated or something. Barbara isn't Oracle but a medium. And like that for everyone else. And Grendom as the Mr. Feeze stand in made sense.
@@sombrashadow0013 No they were. Everything plays out the same except for it actually being Dick, Jason & Tim instead of those other 2 nobodies. Tim was supposed to be the lone survivor who becomes the new holder for the Wayne Fund.
Based on 2 videos of this RUclipsr that I have seen, I feel like he doesnt read the source material - I am still early on in this video but so far my opinion has yet to be changed lol
This movie is one of the best spins/takes on the Batman formula. Dear god it was great. Only wish the Batfamily was more fleshed out before... well. Love how it takes the Batman story down the Call of Cthulhu formula and nails every single part of it.
I watched this movie recently. I liked the reimagining of the Batman universe in horror/occult terms. It's basically Batman goes Hellboy/John Constantine.
See, I’ve always thought that Marvel had the Cinematic universe on lock. I think WB should’ve focused on more high budget self contained stories instead of trying to copy Marvel
I really liked the movie despite the new settings and the difference in the main story, I only wish they would have expand on the bat family more before killing them off. And the Green Arrow was a great character, it was the saddest part for to see him gone.
to my understanding, the whole point of all the great old ones is that they are so far beyond our ability to defeat them that they barely even notice we are trying. It is like asking an ant to turn off a sun, he is just one little guy, he cant do that. Now sure its Raj that is the one getting defeated not Ch'thulu but still being able to contain essence of something that survied great crunch of previous/alternative universe (according to some itnerpretations anyways) sounds like massive nerfing of the entity.
@thunderbolt8266 To be fair, I honestly think that Harvey just being some guy honestly fits so well in the story. He didn't do anything wrong, and happened to suffer a horrific fate because he was tangentially related to events. It works with the cosmic horror of the story, and his scene as the Portal is easily my favorite.
So watching this movie inspired me to hunt down the original comic, and wow are they different in some important ways. There are some things the comic does better and some things the movie does better. Though most obvious change is that Bruce's wards are just straight up Dick, Jason, and Tim; while the movie changes Jason to Sanjay and Drops Tim for Kai Li, but everything plays out exactly the same with them. This just feels like change for change's sake. In the Comic, Talia actually has feelings for Bruce, its not just some random fan service acknowledgement. Ollie is kinda a wet fart in the comic, he's mostly just their and gets instra-killed by Ivy. The Movie does SO much more with him and does him better overall. Killer Croc is actually important and not just a goon, he has mythos and lore and is tied to the founding fathers of Gotham. Also another change, that makes more sense in the comic, is that the librarian is one of the founding fathers replacing Cobblepot (which makes his showing up in this movie totally random) AND the man in flames which makes more sense seeing as how he died. Two-Face in both is just kinda there. Exactly the same in everyway. I thought maybe we'd have more info on why he's tied up in all this, why he's 'the door'; but nope. Overall, it feels like the lore and story is better in the comic, but the characters are mostly better in the movie.
So i love else worlds, if you understand "this is gonna be a crazy what if" and you love that stuff your gonna have a good time. If your very much "NOT MY BATMAN!" and need batman to be very much one way, just keep on moving.
Yeah I felt the same way as you after watching this movie. Weird, different, but still enjoyable. One correction: the big lovecraftian monster at the end is NOT Cthulhu. They said it was Iog Sotha.
I feel like kai li cain is supposed to be a mix of cassandra can and carrie kelly becuase of the one seen when oliver accidentally calls he kelly instead of kai li but idk maybe its just me
Good catch. I re-watched after I read your comment and she doesn't make sense as a character if they just meant her as a Cassandra stand-in. She doesn't really act like Cass, so I think you're right the Oliver name slip was meant as a "wink-wink" to the viewer to say "Hey this is this world's Carrie/Cass".
In the comic, there was no Sanjay and Cassandra. They were actually Jason Todd and Tim Drake, with Jason being frozen by Freeze and Tim taking over Bruce's company. Dick still dies as well, he's just ripped apart by Killer Croc.
Let me clarify some things. This is one of the best DC movies. Let me tell you. The title is no exaggeration. I think it's even the darkest movie but that isn't the only reason why it's good. 0:30 yes it is the weirdest and darkest. Surprised clayface isn't in this. I'd argue Ras al ghul had less screen time than Talia. Sanjay Tawde...... Jayson Todd. Naw but he was the funniest character even if he was nothing like Jason, he was the most likable. The Batman in this movie is more human though. Feels like a little more stoic and normal Batman version of Earth One Batman. This is one of the best DC movies. It's no SuperSons or Under the Red Hood but it's pretty good. The tone and stakes feel real and genuine, moreover The Batman 2022
On a technicality the Lovercraftian God is Iog-Sotha/Yog-Sotha who is the progenitor of Cthulu, and takes inspiration from "The lurker at the Threshold" and "The Doom that Came to Sarnath"(espcially for the title). I pretty sure that this elseworlds version of Cthulu is Ra's al Ghul or atleast his vessel.
I just found out this came out. I am about 20 min in and I remembered that u had a video on it. So i paused it to watch this and see if i should finish it
I love Batman and the Cthulhu mythos, however I found this movie so ok. I mean i didn’t hate it, but the mythos are better when used in the context of mystery and not simple strange evil and distorted monster that need to be punched. It can be only my taste, but I think if focused more on a crime drama with a mythos theme, instead of just simple fights it would be a better movie. Especially because just like the CoC rpg most monsters you can’t even face cause they’re way superior than any human, even thou Batman could face some of them with some difficult
Since it's based on a comic I don't really mind it being pretty faithful to how it depicts that stories version's of the characters. I don't mind if stories set in drastically different time periods or settings make drastically different versions of it's original cast with some details calling back to them.
This Movie is Basically the Hellboy Creator making his Bizarre Version of Batman and as Much as I Love Things that are so Crazy it might Work,this Movie isn’t One of Them, I Know it’s a Elseworld Story but it’s So Strangely Weird and Confusing I hat I felt Disappointed.
this movie while isn't my favorite batman movie is a interesting batman movie especially seeing him fighting Cthulhu was very interesting at least in my opinion.
This was such a bizarre yet really good movie to check out. I forget which Animated Batman movie it was but so far from what I have seen, this is still the second most bizarre one. The most bizarre thing I think I have see was when Barbara Gordon was a young adult and had sex with an older Batman.
Ive always seen this story as a Lovecraftian story that has Batman, over a Batman story with Lovecraft stuff. It has that bleakness that comes from everyones favorite horror writer, that demands you ignore everything about what the man believed and felt. Because oof Lovecraft was not a great human.
Ah, the typical, edgy 'Lovecraft was a bad human because he harboured racial views that he admitted were wrong as he died' argument under-20 year old kids who just found out parrot. He was a great human with questionable views on race, in a time period where most people had questionable views on race. If you actually think someone is 'not a great human' for harbouring racist views....christ, you've lived a sheltered life.
@@pinealdreams1064Lovecraft didn't have "questionable views on race", he was a complete piece of shit who OPENLY hated people who weren't white and also he hated dogs too. And if you REALLY want to get real, he wasn't even THAT good of a writer. He just had good ideas. Even in HIS OWN TIME, he wasn't well liked by his contemporaries. And it's good he and his ideals are dead.
Batman wearing a trench coat will always be goated and it doesn't even have to be only for period pieces. It works as perfectly as his cape because he's a detective with deep noir roots, its also why i dug the cape in The Batman it resembles a trench coat it and has an art deco pattern to it
I had a hard time with this one. It was cool but it bugs me when they use characters in name only. Or in this case, in gimmick only. Why couldn't the heroes and villains just have been who they are? I just think it would have had a much stronger impact if it had been Jason Todd, Cassie cain, Victor freeze, ect. But hey those are just my 2 cents.
I still don't understand why the heck Constantine wasn't a part of this story! The man's ancestors were around since Morpheus became trapped on this plane. Why no Constantine?!
Ironically enough, the original comic actually did less with Harvey, penguin, and Oliver, and Talia. It is really hard to give every character depth in 3 issues though
if you look at it, this ending actually takes a lot from the ending of Arkham Knight, Bruce Wayne dies so that Batman can live, but in a different way that fits this story a bit more, he becomes a protector to Gotham, a darker protector than before
I reckon I know what happened: Some idiot was reading a batman comic or book (or maybe was just reading about Batman), they saw the words 'Arkham Asylum ' and they thought "Huh. So Batman is a Lovecraft character."
Remember, this was written by Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy. Of course it was going to get weird
That make sense now….
Least it was good
It like you mix Batman, hellboy and kill la kill.
Which one the comic or movie?
@@ankhale1033 comic.
Lovecraft wrote a short story called "Cool Air" about a man who died, but kept himself animated and conscious afterward using subzero temperatures. When his refrigeration equipment broke, he melted into a puddle of liquefied flesh. The Mr. Freeze parallel works well.
I love that the origin of this was lovecraft being scared of where refrigeration technology to the public would have science end up 😭
Lovecraft's letters indicate that he was extremely sensitive to cold. He also had a fear of the ocean and marine life in general. These aversions contributed to a number of his stories.
@@ProfArmitage218 who would’ve thought a terrible agoraphobe could write the fear of the unknown so well
I thought it was for the cold man cometh which had a man a lot more close to freeze where he has to have cold temp so his flesh wouldn’t fall..of course it breaks and he dies
That is likely my very favorite Lovecraft story, and kudos for mentioning it!
Batman vs Lovecraftian monsters is honestly a pretty slick idea.
The original comic was written and drawn by Mike Mignola. I'm amazed it got its own movie.
@thunderbolt You do remember correctly. I looked it up.
@@AngelusNielson He's the guy who made Hellboy, right?
@@natek4488 that's the guy
@@natek4488 Made and drew, yes. Though he wasn't the artist on the comic this is based off of.
This ending for the else world kinda made me feel bad for the gang. Bruce will forever be a Bat Creature, Dick and Sanjay killed off. Everyone was lost to save others. Noble, yet sad to see.
You obviously missed that this was a Cuthulu-inspired story.
This movie fucked with my emotions the minute Dick and Jason were killed.
@@AngelusNielson I don’t think anyone who knows what Cthulhu is could miss it tbh
Sad but true
I hated it at first but came to realize the

I honestly didn’t make the Grendin/Mr. Freeze connection at first. I see it now, but I’m also not 100% sure they meant for him to be “Mr. Freeze” at all in this movie

And Grendom as the Mr. Feeze stand in made sense.
I highly recommend reading the book. It's absolutely awesome. Love the Lovecraftian twist and its written by Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy
How would you compare this as an adaptation

I watched this movie recently. I liked the reimagining of the Batman universe in horror/occult terms. It's basically Batman goes Hellboy/John Constantine.
This movie is based off of a comic written by Hellboy's author.
As a Batman and Dieselpunk fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie
I don’t know why they used the Gotham By Gaslight suit when the Doom That Came To Gotham comic has its own suit. It’s quite the cool suit too.
Good point

Just FYI, NOpe, the penguin, and Two-Face didn't do much in the comic either if memory serves.
@thunderbolt I mean, to be fair, fitting the entire batman mythos in 3 comics would be difficult even for DC.
@thunderbolt8266 To be fair, I honestly think that Harvey just being some guy honestly fits so well in the story.

Who that?
I'm actually curious if you're going to cover justice league gods and monsters at some point cuz that story is one of my favorite else world stories
Nah, the Penguin and Harvey didn't do much more in the comic
2:21 I think this Mr. Fries is a imalganation of Grundy and Fries

Huh. I thought I was just imagining that cl
Clark and Lois cameo at the end.
As someone who read the comic it’s basically a 1:1 adaption warts and all .
@9:39 that text message was WAY more distracting than it should’ve been lol. Like I checked my own phone.
David is an underrated voice actor for batman and seing his live action work i think he could play the charicter great in that field aswell.
I only wish he would have kept the deeper voice in costume. But seeing how everyone was dying I guess it males sense why the character dropped that.
Agree totally about Oliver Queen in this. I think he stole the show.
I try tell my friends ,Bob Iger anit trustworthy
In the comic, there was no Sanjay and Cassandra. They were actually Jason Todd and Tim Drake, with Jason being frozen by Freeze and Tim taking over Bruce's company. Dick still dies as well, he's just ripped apart by Killer Croc.
It would be nice to have a Batman meets Hellboy movie, but I guess this is just as good.
Honestly I'd love to see ether a Spider-man meets TMNT animated movie or a live action film noir Batman movie set in the mid 1930s
Mr. Freeze from The Batman (animated series) was also very different from Mr. Freeze in BTAS. This version sounds the most different, though.
I feel like this movie would be so much better as a 5 to 6 episode limited series
Let me clarify some things. This is one of the best DC movies.

I think Jay had the same lack of filter that Jason has. He said what cane to mind.
Imagine if Kevin could've voiced this, he was the best
Imagine the Joker being in this movie.
BUT, He's a regular guy with a dark sense of humor.
