Take a lesson from the Democratic Party: "If you don't like the game, change the rules. If you can't win, cheat. If you are going to lose, make sure everyone else goes down with you."
I love how basically John Constantine is a normal human being who tricked two demons to fight against each other for his soul, basically making him immortal, and learned years and years of dark magic with it.
It's strange that doctor strange magics is somewhat parallels Constantine's magic in some way or form It's not like I'm comparing the two but you get the point

If there are two of any number printed on a sudoku puzzle, it is a misprint and unsolveable. For anyone not knowing what sudoku is, its a numbers-based puzzle where, after solving it, you have the numbers 1-9 in various orders but never repeated horizontally/vertically/and within a particular 3x3 square (incidentally organized 3x3). At the beginning of every puzzle, you are given some numbers printed and the rest blank for the person to figure out. As you go up in difficulty, the fewer printed numbers are printed.

Out of everything John does. By this point of revealing he dated Shark King. It just doesn't shock me. I'd more shocked if he dated a priest or nun but a Shark? Naw. He wasn't trying.
Helaio exorcism gone wrong. Girl had a lesser demon trapped within her but Constantine wasn’t powerful enough to excise it himself. So he summoned a stronger demon to command it to get the lesser demon out. Then the greater demon literally tore the girl to shreds and took her soul with him to hell.

So I learned recently john gets away with so much stuff because he "rides the wave of synchronousity". Which means the book of destiny changes in his benefit constantly.
More like the universe puts him in exactly the right place at the right time. So, even when he's not prepared for a fight against a certain foe, the universe makes it happen in a place where he has a way out so he can come back properly prepared. It also deflects a lot of the bad stuff that would happen to him onto other people, which is why his friends and lovers tend not to live very long.
Constantine was born in Liverpool and is supposed to have a "Scouse" accent. I guess if you've ever heard any of the Beatles speak, that's how he is supposed to sound. Awesome character, underused.
But he left the pool when he was a kid...he lived in London his entire life so it's ok if he doesn't speak in a Scouse accent. Plus Ryan is from Wales so I think he mixes accents. But I'd love a Scouse Constantine.
Watching a film where most of JL are killed and I laugh at John dating King Shark because it was too hilarious. It was the best and most remebral part of the film.
I totally agree with you. When I first saw the scene I thought, "How does that work??", then my mind immediately went to, "Oh My God he dated a fucking shark!!!!". Now whenever I see Constantine I always make fun of the fact that he dated a shark, ignoring anything else except that one thought.
Evidently it's his sense of humour that got Constantine in bed, after all he had a multi years long gag going of only saying "King Shark is a shark" and broke it right at the end with Boomer on the assumption that if they didn't all die, no one would ever believe him.
@@fullirishham1015 damn, with that kind of commitment no wonder he bedded constantine! Its also decently clear they're still friends, as king shark wouldnt have winked if they wernt.
I love that Matt Ryan is the only actor in DC projects so far that’s still playing his role. Animated or Not, Matt is the best adaptation of Constantine considering there’s only been one other actor to play the live action role
The part where he was beating those demon dogs with a tire iron instead of just "magic them away" fucking killed me. John here, with an unknown number of dark arts and powerful enough to insult demons, yet he just pulls out a tire iron.
Superman: We need him. John vocally belches. Raven: ... We're doomed. Gods! I was already laughing when he burped, but Raven's line really made that hi-haw-larious!
John Constantine is like a magical batman (always prepared, tactical genius) with a side of Joseph joestar (razor sharp wit, unbelievably lucky, ready willing and able to cheat to win), and a sprinkling of Rick Sanchez (knowledge only comparable to self loathing, almost never fully sober, knows how the universe really works)
@@hotlinechernobyl5157 did you forget the part where he sent the ultimate lifeform flying into space with the help of a vulcano? Also spoiler warning: Joseph is not only one of the luckyest people alive, he outlifed Jotaro and Jolene, his grandson and great granddaughter respectively
Well said, but I would call him more of a magic Rick Sanchez, since Rick also stays prepared for anything and has a tactical genius, the only difference being Rick is a man of science and John a man of magic
When you look at his dating history, anyone wonder if Constantine slept with Lucifer Morningstar(prior to that brief cameo/crossover) and that's why Lucy seemed like a bitter ex toward him?(then again, everyone is a bitter ex of John's)
I thought about that too, but if that were case there would a lot less animosity between them, and I have some very good reasons as to why they _didn’t_ sleep together; *1.* When Lucifer appeared in the crossover, it took place long before he met Chloe Decker, and we all know that before Chloe, Lucifer participated in little more than meaningless sex. He would have no qualms about sleeping with John, and even asking if he was up for round two. *2.* I haven’t seen much of Constantine (though he’s quickly becoming one of my favorite characters), but it looks like, excluding Desmond, he also has a lot of meaningless sex. He actually reminded me of Lucifer a bit. A little broken, a little self-deprecating, and a lot horny. Anyway, I doubt if he and Luci had slept together there would be any hard feelings between them _(pun very much intended)_ . *3.* Constantine is a demon-hunting wizard, and Lucifer is- well- _Lucifer_ , the _actual devil_ , as they’ve said many times in the show. Those things _do not_ mix, and I feel it was sort of a mutual thing that they didn’t have sex. Just because both are partially sexually fluid doesn’t mean they have to jump every semi-attractive person they see. Sometimes it’s just not the right time or place. *4.* In the crossover, Lucifer mentions that he owes Constantine “for Maze”. I think it’s way more likely that John found her a vessel, gave her some sort of permanent, solid form, or glamoured her face (because it’s got two sides). Something magic-y that Lucifer couldn’t have done himself.
@@sarcasticnotsad5155 You are right on almost everything except for your no 3. Constantine is not a demon hunter. While his job as an exorcist and esoterical adventurer/treasure hunter often bring him to Kill/track/dispatch demons, he pretty much doesn't care, and allied with some as often. He bear no specific disdain for demon, or personal vengeance. He is far too Cynical. Moreover, he already have banged mutliple demons. Like, all the time. Plus, Concerning Constantine specifically, he pretty much DOES jump everything, or rather anything, he is offered to. The only time he would push an offer would be if either he sniff a trap or if said realtion would have particularly negative effect on him or the other person. The rest of the time, it's a f*ckfest. Litteraly. He won't bang while duoing something else, agreed, but that's pretty much the line.
@Roboute Guilliman Because that is what he needs, Gotham is not a place where a warsuit would help. Ironman can fight criminals, but Batman fights crime, and for that he usually doesn't need exoskeletons and suits of armour.
I like the thought of places with superheros having hero themed content. This line kinda sealed that thought for me. Imagine members of the JL discussing the marvel movies together. Thatd be kinda cool
"Yeah, I know. After asking for Marvel character ideas I come back with this. I can't help myself~" I can see why: he is far more entertaining than Dr. Strange, Nico Minoru, and Brother Voodoo will ever be.
"Unconsecrated, otherwise I'll have a hard time setting foot in there". Remember if you piss off John run to a consecrated Church it'll give you several minutes of life XP.
John has the hardest working liver In the DC universe Edit:Ok, drinking contest, rick Sanchez, bo ri cho(mortal combat), John Constantine, yami(black clover), who would win?

Just pure, natural, resilience Edit again again again: its till you pass out, idk how yall do drinking games but it's not to the death. Winner is the last person conscious
@@vongolagear I read from a comment in a john constantine video once that in the comments three of the ruling demons of hell want his soul and if he ever dies, those three will fight over john's soul leaving hell vulnerable to heaven's forces. Is that true?
10:34 I love the pause in hesitation John has, like he’s considering it. Yet he chose the cold logical outcome, in the end one of the girls would be still damned, but saving Trish means finally killing the demon. Still sad the other girl couldn’t be saved, which makes it really heartbreaking for John.
I think the thing that tipped the balance qas the amount of people that would be helped by saving Trish. Either option would have saved a girl and helped atleadt one person, but one was a selfish option that could risk Nergal getting away and dooms his friend's daughter, where as saving the daughter basically seals the other girls fate but also ensures Nergal's defeat. Certainly not an easy choice either way admittedly
Matt Ryan is the definitive Constantine. I was so upset when I found out his live action series was cancelled. They definitely should bring him back as John
A bit of a bummer we didn't get his best one during the pub scene. He recognizes Superman, he punches him, hurts his wrist and says "Now you've done it"
If Edward Kenway and John Constantine both got into the same game or movie, it would be the best thing of all time. Yeah I know it would be impossible, but you know what? I stopped trying to figure out was possible and impossible in DC a long time ago.
I love Jhon but best in the magic group is a stretch especially considering that he has to compete with Dr Fate, the spectre and the bloody presence itself
John Constantine had his own live action movie. He was played by Keanu Reeves. (I probably spelled that wrong) Edit: I forgot to mention that movie was made in 2005. (He got another one in 2014/15)
@@lassehoffmann625 I just treat it as an alt - universe version of Constantine. Bizarrely, Keanu's version looks nothing like Constantine in the comics, but he *does* look a lot like Pete Wisdom, who's kind of Marvel's version of Constantine, except he's a mutant, not a warlock. So there's that...
@@steventhomas2856 Lmao wait until the new constantine show releases, they already announced that they are race swapping Constantine and making him black, (likely along with superman too), and even worst is they said they are moving away from the occult and religious side and going into a horror vibe, already know they will absolutely fuck up this legendary character, wont even bother watching
Constantine, while he is one of the coolest characters ever, seeing raven that broken and in that much pain broke my heart when I seen apokolips war for the first time and also seeing starfire literally in two pieces
Basically what Batman meant was John was hit by a spell that caused him to speak in a exaggerated version of a British accent, instead of the normal British accent.
@@MugdhaMahdiShams Pretty much. To be more specific the spell made John talk in the exaggerated version of a British Accent that's commonly seen in American films depicting British life, instead of the actual British accent.
@@derrickhaggard There's no such thing as a British accent, the typical one you hear is queens english (think james bond) which is usually from upper class people in south london. The character of Constantine is from liverpool so has a scouse accent which is usually quite hard to understand for Americans so they don't use it. The "exageration" is to sound more scouse. Matt Ryan who plays constantine is Welsh so different accent again.
*Balthazar:* Fire? I was born of this. *John Constantine:* How's Mammon crossing over, you half-breed piece of shit? [Constantine tosses Holy Water on Balthazar’s face dissolving his human skin.] *Balthazar:* That’s better. All natural. [Chokes Constantine against a wall] *Balthazar:* You can do it. You're stronger than this. Think of Hennessy. Think of Beeman. This bastard killed them. You're not going to let him get away with that, are you? *Balthazar:* Don't fight it, Johnny Boy, enjoy it.

"Wrong. I expect the worst so I prepare for the worst and when the worst happens. I'm ready. But my outlook doesn't alter the reality of the world." Probably my favorite quote :)
As somebody from Liverpool, I can tell you that an accent exaggerator would absolutely not turn a man from Merseyside cockney (and the idea would be kind of offensive to anyone there actually.) It would just make all the vowels comically long. A really, really broad scouse accent would potentially get mistaken for Brummie.
“That Irishman there is a leprechaun” “Sorry r u serious or racist” “Both, Love” “Nah, Americans don’t say rubbish. They say “That was absolute garbage, I’m American, soccer, yardstick, ranch dressing, w e a s e l”” “Well, if you’ve got a problem with me, pie-face.” (Forgot the thing) “But *insert place* is too north for that muppet” Just a few of my favorite lines from my favorite legend 🙂
*Fun Fact: Constantine was once Dr Fate.* Granted, he got the job by stealing a shit ton of magic artifacts, using *the power of shazam* to make fate relinquish the helmet after *stabbing him with the spear of destiny,* but, eh, technicalities...
One of my favourite Hellblazer comics has Constantine saving Chas' daughter from an Aztec monster in a glorified blink first game. And afterwards Chas wife slaps him and screams "You were playing chess with my daughter!" And Constantine just lights a cigarette and goes "Chess? I was playing fuckin' poker! And I won. I fuckin' won." Sums Constantine up.

I love that Matt Ryan is the only actor in DC projects so far that’s still playing his role. Animated or Not, Matt is the best adaptation of Constantine considering there’s only been one other actor to play the live action role
The ending was well deserved.
2:26 Well, can't you just, I don't know, magic them away?
Who the hell do you think I am? Benedict Bloody Cumberbatch ?
This got me hard 😂😂😂
Careful how you say that, lol
careful man the kids are watching
lmao
Bow chicka bow wow
This is why I had to stop binge watching rvb for a week
oohh bad choice of words
be careful next time
The part where he was beating those demon dogs with a tire iron instead of just "magic them away" fucking killed me. John here, with an unknown number of dark arts and powerful enough to insult demons, yet he just pulls out a tire iron.
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip,

Who else wants John Constantine in a Mortal Kombat or Injustice game?
John Constantine for Injustice 3.
@@derrickhaggard if the leaks that happened awhile ago then he will be along with Etrigan the demon
Thats actually such a cool fucking idea
Oh my lord
Him in Mortal Kombat
Would be legendary
I can just imagine him summoning a demon for his fatality
think he would be fun in injustice
I still can’t believe he got with King Shark I died🤣
Gay?
He's bi I believe
@@blankdreaming correct, even the comics implied he played for both teams, he dated both Zatana and one of her ex boyfriends.
Rigel Smith BI ICON HELL YEAH!!
@@redalert923 He´s been bi from the beginning in the comics.
"Get in line ya prats..." has got to be the best combination of a putdown, and resignation to your fate I've ever heard... 😂
Constatine is my fucking favorite man even though he dabbles in magic all his real problems are still grounded in a relatable way for an adult.
Superman: We need him.
John vocally belches.
Raven: ... We're doomed.
Gods! I was already laughing when he burped, but Raven's line really made that hi-haw-larious!
It's scary when Raven of all people is worried.
John Constantine is like a magical batman (always prepared, tactical genius) with a side of Joseph joestar (razor sharp wit, unbelievably lucky, ready willing and able to cheat to win), and a sprinkling of Rick Sanchez (knowledge only comparable to self loathing, almost never fully sober, knows how the universe really works)
Joseph is lucky sure, but is he "rides the waves of fate" lucky? Where time, space and reality bend for him?
Maybe, maybe....
@@hotlinechernobyl5157 did you forget the part where he sent the ultimate lifeform flying into space with the help of a vulcano? Also spoiler warning:
Joseph is not only one of the luckyest people alive, he outlifed Jotaro and Jolene, his grandson and great granddaughter respectively
Well said, but I would call him more of a magic Rick Sanchez, since Rick also stays prepared for anything and has a tactical genius, the only difference being Rick is a man of science and John a man of magic
Pranav Ramsaha but the Joseph joestar still applies
Constantine D Aurum. Fun Fact: Aurum is Latin for Gold, and is my favorite Element/Mineral. A pleasure to meet you, Monsieur Aurum
This man has more comebacks than a sports movie
If that's true how come he is played by Matt Ryan? (Sports joke for those who are uninitiated).
When you look at his dating history, anyone wonder if Constantine slept with Lucifer Morningstar(prior to that brief cameo/crossover) and that's why Lucy seemed like a bitter ex toward him?(then again, everyone is a bitter ex of John's)
I thought about that too, but if that were case there would a lot less animosity between them, and I have some very good reasons as to why they _didn’t_ sleep together;
*1.* When Lucifer appeared in the crossover, it took place long before he met Chloe Decker, and we all know that before Chloe, Lucifer participated in little more than meaningless sex. He would have no qualms about sleeping with John, and even asking if he was up for round two.
*2.* I haven’t seen much of Constantine (though he’s quickly becoming one of my favorite characters), but it looks like, excluding Desmond, he also has a lot of meaningless sex. He actually reminded me of Lucifer a bit. A little broken, a little self-deprecating, and a lot horny. Anyway, I doubt if he and Luci had slept together there would be any hard feelings between them _(pun very much intended)_ .
*3.* Constantine is a demon-hunting wizard, and Lucifer is- well- _Lucifer_ , the _actual devil_ , as they’ve said many times in the show. Those things _do not_ mix, and I feel it was sort of a mutual thing that they didn’t have sex. Just because both are partially sexually fluid doesn’t mean they have to jump every semi-attractive person they see. Sometimes it’s just not the right time or place.
*4.* In the crossover, Lucifer mentions that he owes Constantine “for Maze”. I think it’s way more likely that John found her a vessel, gave her some sort of permanent, solid form, or glamoured her face (because it’s got two sides). Something magic-y that Lucifer couldn’t have done himself.
@@sarcasticnotsad5155 You are right on almost everything except for your no 3.
Constantine is not a demon hunter. While his job as an exorcist and esoterical adventurer/treasure hunter often bring him to Kill/track/dispatch demons, he pretty much doesn't care, and allied with some as often. He bear no specific disdain for demon, or personal vengeance. He is far too Cynical. Moreover, he already have banged mutliple demons. Like, all the time.
Plus, Concerning Constantine specifically, he pretty much DOES jump everything, or rather anything, he is offered to. The only time he would push an offer would be if either he sniff a trap or if said realtion would have particularly negative effect on him or the other person. The rest of the time, it's a f*ckfest. Litteraly.
He won't bang while duoing something else, agreed, but that's pretty much the line.
..I get the mental image of John appearing and saying "'Ey Lucy, I'm 'ome!" :-)
Umm Constantine never had sex with Samael(Lucifer)
But I think Lucifer may have sex with Zatanna.
2:30 did he just reference Benedict Cumberbatch who plays Dr Strange for the Marvel Cinematic Universe
when the 4th wall breaks
@Roboute Guilliman doesnt he already have a suit like iron man's
@Roboute Guilliman Batman does have exoskeletons and armours, it is just that most of the time he does not need them.
@Roboute Guilliman Because that is what he needs, Gotham is not a place where a warsuit would help. Ironman can fight criminals, but Batman fights crime, and for that he usually doesn't need exoskeletons and suits of armour.
I like the thought of places with superheros having hero themed content. This line kinda sealed that thought for me. Imagine members of the JL discussing the marvel movies together. Thatd be kinda cool
I feel like more problems could be solved by ramming it with a couch.
With a couch or on a couch?
@@shaesullivan Both.
"Even deities can be wrong that how we got the appendix, Neanderthals, and reality tv". That is gold
"Yeah, I know. After asking for Marvel character ideas I come back with this. I can't help myself~"
I can see why: he is far more entertaining than Dr. Strange, Nico Minoru, and Brother Voodoo will ever be.
Comic book Nico is cool. Television Nico, not so much.
@@caidenlipoth1247 speaking of Dr strange he did mention benedict Cumberbatch once in this vid
''Well cant you just i dont know?! Magic them away??''
John: Who the hell do you think i am? DOCTOR BLOODY STRANGE?
"Unconsecrated, otherwise I'll have a hard time setting foot in there". Remember if you piss off John run to a consecrated Church it'll give you several minutes of life XP.
John has the hardest working liver In the DC universe
Edit:Ok, drinking contest, rick Sanchez, bo ri cho(mortal combat), John Constantine, yami(black clover), who would win?
Edit again: due to popular demand I am including the demo man from tf2
Edit again again: no magic, science, or cheating. Just pure, natural, resilience
Edit again again again: its till you pass out, idk how yall do drinking games but it's not to the death. Winner is the last person conscious
Agreed. His liver's probably has powerful as Superman's lol.
I read that as he is the hardest working liver in the DC Universe
Rick Sanchez is to science as John Constantine is to magic
In the comics, nothing can kill him. Including his own cancer.
He’s probably fine.
@@vongolagear I read from a comment in a john constantine video once that in the comments three of the ruling demons of hell want his soul and if he ever dies, those three will fight over john's soul leaving hell vulnerable to heaven's forces. Is that true?
Constantine taught me that the best response to mind-shattering horror is dry sarcasm
Be more like Constantine (except for when he does exorcisms)
10:34 I love the pause in hesitation John has, like he’s considering it. Yet he chose the cold logical outcome, in the end one of the girls would be still damned, but saving Trish means finally killing the demon. Still sad the other girl couldn’t be saved, which makes it really heartbreaking for John.
I think the thing that tipped the balance qas the amount of people that would be helped by saving Trish. Either option would have saved a girl and helped atleadt one person, but one was a selfish option that could risk Nergal getting away and dooms his friend's daughter, where as saving the daughter basically seals the other girls fate but also ensures Nergal's defeat. Certainly not an easy choice either way admittedly
Abraca-fucking-dabra... I can't think of a more Constantine line, lol
Bullocks
6:04
11:00
5:23
Personal Favorite. I mean, if he doesn't know a spell, brute force seems to do the trick.
Honestly, it was worth a shot
Matt Ryan is the definitive Constantine. I was so upset when I found out his live action series was cancelled. They definitely should bring him back as John
They did in 1 arrow episode I think season 4 and in dcs legends of tomorrow
Reaccuring in season 3 and main cast season 4-6or7
"You cheated!"
"Technically, we both cheated. I just did it better."
Perfect summary of John Constantine.
Where's the line in justice league dark apokolips where he said
"can't even be a corpse in piece wanking destiny can go bugger itself"
that the onr with the vorrupted league members?
6:05 Abraca... fookin dabra
He looked so mad when he said the last part bruh
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like Abraca-Fuck-You better.
😂😂 I love the face he makes when he says “fuckin dabra”
A bit of a bummer we didn't get his best one during the pub scene.
He recognizes Superman, he punches him, hurts his wrist and says "Now you've done it"
Matt ryan is toooo good as John constantine 😍😍😍😍😍
He is also the coolest Assassin in assassin's creed (Black Flag)
If Edward Kenway and John Constantine both got into the same game or movie, it would be the best thing of all time. Yeah I know it would be impossible, but you know what? I stopped trying to figure out was possible and impossible in DC a long time ago.
I absolutely love this version of Constantine
This video explains why he is like my favorite DC character
Rohan 😳
Same!!!
I love how Matt Ryan insists on playing Constantine,guys is amazing
I said it before, I'll say it again. Batman is the best of the non-magic group, Constantine is the best of the magic group.
I love Jhon but best in the magic group is a stretch especially considering that he has to compete with Dr Fate, the spectre and the bloody presence itself
John Constantine had his own live action movie. He was played by Keanu Reeves. (I probably spelled that wrong)
Edit: I forgot to mention that movie was made in 2005. (He got another one in 2014/15)
The old tv commercial for that movie is actually where I got the idea for the song from.
Keanu Reeves
That movie isn’t bad but it doesn’t feel like the John constantine in this video or the comics,
@@lassehoffmann625 I just treat it as an alt - universe version of Constantine. Bizarrely, Keanu's version looks nothing like Constantine in the comics, but he *does* look a lot like Pete Wisdom, who's kind of Marvel's version of Constantine, except he's a mutant, not a warlock.
So there's that...
@@steventhomas2856 Lmao wait until the new constantine show releases, they already announced that they are race swapping Constantine and making him black, (likely along with superman too), and even worst is they said they are moving away from the occult and religious side and going into a horror vibe, already know they will absolutely fuck up this legendary character, wont even bother watching
"Is that a sword in your chest or are you just happy to see me"
Constantine, while he is one of the coolest characters ever, seeing raven that broken and in that much pain broke my heart when I seen apokolips war for the first time and also seeing starfire literally in two pieces
1:28 "Constantine was hit by an accent exaggerated spell..." Dude Constantine is from England
Basically what Batman meant was John was hit by a spell that caused him to speak in a exaggerated version of a British accent, instead of the normal British accent.
@@derrickhaggard still
@@derrickhaggard so basically it turned his accent from British to
Bri 'ish?
@@MugdhaMahdiShams Pretty much. To be more specific the spell made John talk in the exaggerated version of a British Accent that's commonly seen in American films depicting British life, instead of the actual British accent.
@@derrickhaggard There's no such thing as a British accent, the typical one you hear is queens english (think james bond) which is usually from upper class people in south london. The character of Constantine is from liverpool so has a scouse accent which is usually quite hard to understand for Americans so they don't use it. The "exageration" is to sound more scouse. Matt Ryan who plays constantine is Welsh so different accent again.
Remember, this guy had a serious relationship with King Shark.
just saying.
No one said it was serious.
@@HighLordoftheBathroom if it was just a hookup or something, why did he call it an ex?
And people think British guys are dorks
They do😂?

*Balthazar:* Fire? I was born of this.
*John Constantine:* How's Mammon crossing over, you half-breed piece of shit?
[Constantine tosses Holy Water on Balthazar’s face dissolving his human skin.]
*Balthazar:* That’s better. All natural.
[Chokes Constantine against a wall]

*John Constantine:* Okay, Bally, enjoy it.
[begins reading from the Bible]
*John Constantine:* In nomine Patri, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti.
*John Constantine:* [Places his hand over Balthazar] May God have mercy on you, and grant you the pardon of all your sins. Whosesoever sins you remit on Earth, they are remitted unto them in Heaven.
[Balthazar squirms]
*John Constantine:* How's he doing it?
*Balthazar:* No... I can't.
*John Constantine:* [louder] Grant your child entry into thy kingdom! In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Amen!
*Balthazar:* [shouts] Sangre de Dio! The blood of God!
*John Constantine:* He found it.
*Balthazar:* Whatever killed the Son of God will give birth to the Son of the Devil.
*John Constantine:* [closes the Bible] By the way... you have to **ask** for absolution to be forgiven... asshole.

He's Dr. Fates' replacement.
"Wrong. I expect the worst so I prepare for the worst and when the worst happens. I'm ready. But my outlook doesn't alter the reality of the world." Probably my favorite quote :)

Dang. This is the fastest that any video of mine hit a thousand views. Thanks, everyone.
I love the one where he gets pissed at magic for making him sober
As somebody from Liverpool, I can tell you that an accent exaggerator would absolutely not turn a man from Merseyside cockney (and the idea would be kind of offensive to anyone there actually.) It would just make all the vowels comically long. A really, really broad scouse accent would potentially get mistaken for Brummie.
The best thing about John Constantine is that one minute, he’s kicking ass and next minute, he’s making a fool out of himself.
John Constantine is my spirit animal

John Constantine and King Shark. Now that's a story i wanna see.
I knew Constantine was my favorite when he said “Abra Ca-fucking Dabra”
*Fun Fact: Constantine was once Dr Fate.*
Granted, he got the job by stealing a shit ton of magic artifacts, using *the power of shazam* to make fate relinquish the helmet after *stabbing him with the spear of destiny,* but, eh, technicalities...
11:04
He also became Deadman and used Ragman's cloak
He also once tricked nabu into thinking he was dead
One of my favourite Hellblazer comics has Constantine saving Chas' daughter from an Aztec monster in a glorified blink first game. And afterwards Chas wife slaps him and screams "You were playing chess with my daughter!" And Constantine just lights a cigarette and goes "Chess? I was playing fuckin' poker! And I won. I fuckin' won." Sums Constantine up.
