7:58 I love the European setting. Kafka called Prague a city “of dolefulness, of pettiness, of shame, of being misled, of misuse of energy" which is appropriate considering the storyline.
Rob, I just want to say thank you. Ive been suffering more than I can handle lately and your cheerful attitude has help stave off my pain. My name is Brenden, from the very bottom of my heart I thank you.

I don’t think ppl, bought that “dog chasing cars”, by Joker, he’s definitely wasn’t guessing in that film, everything was carefully planned out. He was a proven liar, every time he talked about his scars it was a different story every time
@@sivad02 you know what when I first seen it I believed it, but when I thought about it…things like a guy having explosions surgically implanted inside him and using a cell to trigger it is obviously thought out
I did I took it as his neurosis, not that that he is not smart but the way each part does not matter, he did not care about the money, or the gangsters, not even standing in front of citizens at the party or getting beaten up by Batman. The anarchy he is all for it as he left the blown-up police station in the back of a police car reveling in the moment. For a second in dual decision making, he won; the criminals did nothing, and the citizens contemplated setting off the criminals' bomb.

Fault falls ambiguously, but it was always the Joker who killed them even by their own hand.

@@justinmcdonald2072I did find it surprising that nobody on either boat suggests ‘why are we believing that he’s telling the truth about this detonator blowing up the other boat’, that said this was a while before Scary Terry
Really hope Rob one day covers The Deadly Duo. I feel like he'd lose his shit watching the insanity unfold in that story. Batman having to genuinely team up with Joker is wild.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC story I love the interaction and of the characters and the philosophical play on this story and the kicker is the transforming ART Bravo BRAVA
The one thing that I call BS on is the fact that Batman relied on Joker to save Nina. Even I could tell that was a stupid idea and I'm not even the world's greatest detective.
You are correct Rob. It was indeed a great story and I am glad someone has finally talked about it because it felt like it sort of wizzed by without anyone saying much. Great plot and great artwork. Thank you for making this video.
I've started reading comics because of you and Benny but since ha has passed away but still he lives among us because legends never die and you people are super duper ❤💪.
Just thought I would chuck this on to play in the background, but holy shit this is one of the best comics to ever exist, the art style as well was so lovely, wow just WOW
That was crazy Rob! Believe it or not, Bane was in my top three of who was the culprit. I hear your voice starting to change back to its normal self. I know it's hard, but remember, you have literally MILLIONS of people that are here for you. Here and in the hereafter. Comics Explained must go on and keep the legacies going. Much love and respect, good sir!
Bats and Jokes are the same cat. What a trippy story! BTW i saw the joker image during a dmt trip and found that that's a common theme and is for certain an entity that makes his way into our reality via art and whatnot!
@@Yphraxori I feel like a fair portion of the plans Joker hatches are intended to be thwarted by Batman. When the Joker REALLY wants to do something sinister to Batman, he usually succeeds. Like Joker sinister, not normal bad guy sinister.
@Ozzymandius1 I'm sure that the main reason Batman wins is because Joker allows it, like a level to beat in a video game. With the amount of Diabolical shit that Joker has successfully done to Batman, I think it's very clear that Joker just like spending time with Batman and just lets Batman win.
I can see why some wouldn't like the art in this comic, but this is what I love about comic books. These panels are gorgeous! It has its own style, its own purpose, and while not every one is perfect this is irrefutably art. It screams hand-drawn with love and care, and as it leans more into its style as Batman's condition worsens, it reminds me why I fell in love with comic books. Art.
Great story. Great art. Great narration as always, Rob! Thanks much. This should be put in Robert Pattinson-led "The Batman" live action, either in the sequel or the third installment. Should that happen, Pattinson in a way will reprise his role as Edward Cullen in a Cape Crusader outfit. 😉
10:57 If i didnt know any better, i would *Swear* that was "Him" from "Power Puff Girls" Hell, the main "puppet" in the beginning looked legit like that guy from "Clockwork Orange" 🧐🤔
This shook me to my core. Always thought Batman was cool but now, I like him even more…. I think Superman is better but this made me feel for Batman. Much respect master Wayne….. Joker is one of those people that who hate and try to resist until you slowly give in. It is his Superpower. Super Personality……
That was a really great story, nice twist and very Bane. Question Rob, would you say stories like this are a direct reflection of Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker? Seems to be such a compelling darkness to this one.
So… Batman has a week of prep time against The Grim Reaper.
…It’ll be a massacre…
He had a plot device, the entire time, with the stupid bat summoning sonar, even if no bats are in that part of the territory he’s in.
😂

Batman saying 'Let's have some fun' to his enemies would strike fear into anyone, so much that it even gave pause to Joker
Batman strength Wayne-ing😂

Keep living brother.
Brenden,I will remember you
I have been suffering chronic severe pain for more than 30 years.
You are tougher than you know or even think.
You had me at "Batman has one week to live"
Holy shit I died at calling Florida the "Elephant graveyard of the United States"
I don’t get it. What’s that mean

Just name the channel Incredible. Everything is incredible and AMAZING here
I would really love to see you cover knightfall, your videos get me through the monotony of my day, thank you for continuing to make them
fun little detail the mannequin with the bowler hat that attacks Nina is a reference to Clockwork Orange
This art style is something else.
I really wish Joker wasn’t touching Batman’s front-junk in the cover photo 0:09
his Bat-junk
Unalive is coming after batman? AND GAVE HIM A WEEK TO PREPARE?
Bro lost before starting

Did… did you really just say unalive.
Is unalive a new villain or something?😂

So good. Such a fresh feeling story. Didn't expect that ending AT ALL.
Really hope Rob one day covers The Deadly Duo. I feel like he'd lose his shit watching the insanity unfold in that story. Batman having to genuinely team up with Joker is wild.
Man this is truly the coolest comic I have ever seen the color ways used are incredible
You’re definitely a comfort channel for me. I love your comic commentary.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC story I love the interaction and of the characters and the philosophical play on this story and the kicker is the transforming ART
Bravo BRAVA
great, as always would love to see this on the big screen
Thank u for more DC lately
Holy shit the art is so good. Especially the one frame where they’re looking up at the building in Prague or wherever
22:30 It's like the parable with the Scorpion killing the Frog over the water: "It's just my nature"
The one thing that I call BS on is the fact that Batman relied on Joker to save Nina. Even I could tell that was a stupid idea and I'm not even the world's greatest detective.
You are correct Rob. It was indeed a great story and I am glad someone has finally talked about it because it felt like it sort of wizzed by without anyone saying much. Great plot and great artwork. Thank you for making this video.
When I read this, it had the energy of a Saturday morning team up episode. I miss these simple type of stories.
4:12 It's funny how the joker taunts bats, "Ich bin ein Berliner". Haha🤣
He IS a donut, though....
Awesome vid, loved how well bane was utilized. He’s not just some strong oaf.
he never was, except in batman and robin and BTAS.
Did you seriously say that Tom Hardy's Bane wasn't that smart??? Did you watch the movie??
licking each others blood is freaky
I am so happy you covered this! I'm buying a copy right now. Why no mention of the Easter eggs. Dr. Chimp was in a panel.
Bane? Really Bane? Batman barely has any strength left and he defeats one of the strongest villains he faced with bats as a distraction.
Really loved the story, and the change in the art definitely fit from beginning to end.
🤘🏻😊
The fact that bane set all this up is a serious downer. Thanks for telling me about this issue I can skip it 👍
This was amazing 👏🏿
That was really good!
I've started reading comics because of you and Benny but since ha has passed away but still he lives among us because legends never die and you people are super duper ❤💪.
And Iove the chemistry of Batman and Joker together (I'm watching them working together for the first time here ).
Just thought I would chuck this on to play in the background, but holy shit this is one of the best comics to ever exist, the art style as well was so lovely, wow just WOW
That was awesome!
This is one of the best channels by far not just on RUclips just in general.
You know the story is good when rob says "amazing"
He say that almost every video
I think the joker just watched dbz abridged and decided that he wanted to be DC's Vegeta to Batman's Goku.
Why is the joker grabbing Bat's dingus? "Florida is the elephant graveyard", well said.
Now this is a good story, it tries and delivers a unique vision within the storytelling
That was crazy Rob! Believe it or not, Bane was in my top three of who was the culprit. I hear your voice starting to change back to its normal self.

Wait a second, this is just Arkham City!
Grown man with anime girl pfp
Bats and Jokes are the same cat. What a trippy story! BTW i saw the joker image during a dmt trip and found that that's a common theme and is for certain an entity that makes his way into our reality via art and whatnot!
“The dog chasing cars” line doesn’t imply that the joker isn’t intelligent
Wile E. Coyote wouldn't know what to do with the road runner but he's quite capable of overly elaborate planning.

The whole point of that line is that he’s lying to trick Dent. The beginning of the movie demonstrates how joker operates, he’s meticulous.
Shows that he isn’t focused
Talk about outstanding writing, art, and holy hell Rob you're awesome for this
The art style changing as their mental state deteriorates is some of the coolest shit I’ve seen in comics
It would have been interesting if joker had a day more than batman.
Batman Europa was great. I remember reading it as it came out and Sal saying it was apparently delayed for years
you should do Batman and Joker Deadly Duo cause its another good example of batman and joker working together
Idk how I missed this video until now…really digging the art
🔥🔥🔥🔥 great story great art
My first exposure to this story was Benny’s video from maybe 4 or 5 years back ❤ honestly such a cool story
Love ur Batman vids
i miss Benny man
Is this the story where Joker calls Batman a "cunning linguist"?
Been a good minute since I saw you lol.
The art style in the beginning looks good.
This was all so good until 21:10. And we're just supposed to expect that Bane gets defeated by a bunch of bats and never recovers?
This was NUTS. I want more of this.
Rob this story was amazing mannnn it’s crazy. But it’s also classic Batman Joker
Good stuff man, good stuff. 👍🏾
It’s Nina, as in “Knee-Nah” the word you are saying is little girl in SPANISH.
thanks miguel, i was about to comment this too haha
Thank you. It was annoying me so badly lol

Knight fall and Knightquest should be covered by you please
Bruce is got Cat Scratch Fever lol
I live in Florida. I can confirm the "Elephant Graveyard " statement.
Loved it!!!
Not gonna lie. Finding out who was behind it all had my jawdropped.
Wow, Batman stories are always so good.
Great story.
Great art.
Great narration as always, Rob!
Thanks much.
This should be put in Robert Pattinson-led "The Batman" live action, either in the sequel or the third installment.
Should that happen, Pattinson in a way will reprise his role as Edward Cullen in a Cape Crusader outfit. 😉
Honestly, Batman and Joker teaming up would be the most potent team in any situation, just because both are extremely smart and very capable
Bro It was awsome
so...this is what the arkham city was based off of? or am I wrong?
10:57 If i didnt know any better, i would *Swear* that was "Him" from "Power Puff Girls"
Hell, the main "puppet" in the beginning looked legit like that guy from "Clockwork Orange" 🧐🤔
Shit homie you did a great job spoiling this for everyone!!
This was a really good story. It did not end like I thought it was gonna end, but it’s Batman and his joker and they need each other.
Covering knightfall would be epic
funni cause one of the (possibli) inspiration for the joker was "the who laugh" writen by Victor Hugho
This shook me to my core. Always thought Batman was cool but now, I like him even more…. I think Superman is better but this made me feel for Batman. Much respect master Wayne….. Joker is one of those people that who hate and try to resist until you slowly give in. It is his Superpower. Super Personality……
Cool story. Nina is German though, so her name would be pronounced "Nee-naa" not "Neen-ya".
yeah a bit silly since there's no ñ
@@windchimes8764 Still an engaging video. This guy is always excited about comics.
This is really good
LOVE THE VIDS
i would like to see this either animated or live action as like a little small movie, i think it would be super cool
this was awesome

That was a good one👍
I take offense to the Florida description.
We have MUCH better beaches than your average elephant graveyard.
~_~
This is a really good story.
I have these Batman issues. I randomly bought them a couple of years ago.
That was a pretty cool story.
Please please please do more Bane stories where he’s portrayed as smart, he doesn’t get enough love even though everyone knows he’s underrated
This is like the ultimate bromance
