  • Before the Batcave and Robin, the Joker and the Batmobile ... there was Zero Year. The Riddler has plunged Gotham City into darkness. How will a young Dark Knight bring his beloved hometown from the brink of chaos and madness and back into the light? From the critically acclaimed, New York Times #1 best-selling creative team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, Batman Vol. 5: Zero Year--Dark City is the concluding volume to Batman's origin story, as you've never seen it before.
    ▸ Who Is Batman: Batman is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, and debuted in the 27th issue of the comic book Detective Comics on March 30, 1939. In the DC Universe continuity, Batman is the alias of Bruce Wayne, a wealthy American playboy, philanthropist, and industrialist who resides in Gotham City. Batman's origin story features him swearing vengeance against criminals after witnessing the murder of his parents Thomas and Martha as a child, a vendetta tempered with the ideal of justice. He trains himself physically and intellectually, crafts a bat-inspired persona, and monitors the Gotham streets at night. Kane, Finger, and other creators accompanied Batman with supporting characters, including his sidekicks Robin and Batgirl; allies Alfred Pennyworth, James Gordon, and Catwoman; and foes such as the Penguin, the Riddler, Two-Face, and his archenemy, the Joker.
    Kane conceived Batman in early 1939 to capitalize on the popularity of DC's Superman; although Kane frequently claimed sole creation credit, Finger substantially developed the concept from a generic superhero into something more bat-like. The character received his own spin-off publication, Batman, in 1940. Batman was originally introduced as a ruthless vigilante who frequently killed or maimed criminals, but evolved into a character with a stringent moral code and strong sense of justice. Unlike most superheroes, Batman does not possess any superpowers, instead relying on his intellect, fighting skills, and wealth. The 1960s Batman television series used a camp aesthetic, which continued to be associated with the character for years after the show ended. Various creators worked to return the character to his darker roots in the 1970s and 1980s, culminating with the 1986 miniseries The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller.
    DC has featured Batman in many comic books, including comics published under its imprints such as Vertigo and Black Label. The longest-running Batman comic, Detective Comics, is the longest-running comic book in the United States. Batman is frequently depicted alongside other DC superheroes, such as Superman and Wonder Woman, as a member of organizations such as the Justice League and the Outsiders. In addition to Bruce Wayne, other characters have taken on the Batman persona on different occasions, such as Jean-Paul Valley / Azrael in the 1993-1994 "Knightfall" story arc; Dick Grayson, the first Robin, from 2009 to 2011; and Jace Fox, son of Wayne's ally Lucius, as of 2021. DC has also published comics featuring alternate versions of Batman, including the incarnation seen in The Dark Knight Returns and its successors, the incarnation from the Flashpoint (2011) event, and numerous interpretations from Elseworlds stories.

    The Archimedes principle isn't so hard.
    To simplify it a little:
    You know that you weigh less underwater. But how much less?
    That's explained by the Archimedes Principle. Basically. The weight volume of water displaced by your body being immersed in water is the same as your reduction in weight. The decrease in weight is proportional to the density of the fluid.
    You can go further and apply the logic to any fluid (including air).

      This take on the character of Edward Nigma also harks back in many ways to the Jim Carey version; which I personally though was brilliant; although a lot of people seemed not agree at the time.

    Writer doesn't understand it's not the impact that damages the organs by way of hitting it really hard--which bones can protect from, it's the inertia of the organs that smash them INTO your bones and other organs, leading to rapid shift in momentum (or high impulse) resulting in extreme force that do. So thicker bones do shit.

    • @DarthAlphaTheGreat
      @DarthAlphaTheGreat 7 лет назад +2

      As in the bones cannot really protect you from the force because Newton's Laws. Shielding are only good at stopping things that penetrates you or ripping you apart.
      Though it's possible that the bone is so thick that it holds everything in place...then you can't move any more or breath or beat your heart any more lol

  • @antwan1357
    @antwan1357 4 года назад +1

    Bruce Wayne blaming gordon partially for his parents death explains a lot of the interactions they have . The way Batman is so cold to him , and also why while commisioner gordon is still talking batman will just vanish with gordon still talking to him. Kinda giving a little disrespect but at the same time NOT closing the door on Commisioner Gordon , but keeping him at arms length.

    I like the Riddler. I mean I don't agree with him at all. His premises are sound but his conclusions are insane. What I like so much about the Riddler is a recurring theme in which Batman will often say a caveat about how pathetic Nygma has become, or how many resources Batman has at his disposal and then finishes with "and yet still the Riddler almost got me" hahahaha! Never underestimate the Riddler and "Brains over brawn, every damn time!"

    @Anti-HyperLink 4 года назад

    I've never even seen any other origin besides the vat of chemicals thing. It's in an even older comic book than the killing joke, obviously, and it's in the 89 movie. But what other origins have been in the actual comic books?
    Obviously in Batman 89 he wasnt the red hood, but he was a criminal. I'm not really counting many of the movies because the Dark Knight Joker had multiple, the one in Suicide Squad seems to be Jason Todd or maybe the Haha on the Robin suit was Joker mocking him about that, but that's whatever, and then the Joker movie is one off and on it's own and not connected to anything. It's hardly even the Joker. But at the end it's left to the audience to wonder if any of it even happened.

Oblivion represents nothing so i believe he grew stronger with these? Is it possible that the Beyonders are emissaries of Oblivion? Could it be also possible that Death grew stronger as well...these entities kill thousands of things.
