Of COURSE it’s a crisis event.. they’re fighting a completely EVIL incarnation of Batman. The man doesn’t lose wars.. he may have set backs.. but he’s always been the ULTIMATE tactician.. he’s just steps ahead of EVERYONE. This series has been pure gold..
I think the one who have only one person in all the universes in the Multiverse this time are Perpetua its creator itself lol, maybe that idea are no longer used...
After Death Metal, DCeased, Joker War, Doomsday Clock, Year of The Villain, and Convergence, I need them to cool it down with grandiose events/plots, just focus on character-driven and simple isolated stories.
That’s the main reason why I hate modern DC. They can’t go one event without having the multiverse being threatened. And edginess for the sake of edginess.
I can’t see how the robin king would enjoy being the sidekick.. even to someone as evil as the darkest knight.. if anything, he might do something to change that..
I would say the Robin King, though it is close. The Batman Who Laughs still tries to make a point, his acts of cruelty serve a higher purpose, to show the world what he is capable of. The Batman Who Laughs is evil with a goal. The Robin King doesn't care for recognizition, he just want to kill as creatively and cruelly as possible, and if possible with as much pain, both physical and emotional as possible. In other words, he is evil for the sake of it.
*Superman:* _picks up a bagel to eat for breakfast_ *Batman Who Laughs:* "HA HA! Fool! I planned for that to happen." *Wonder Woman:* _sneezes_ *Batman Who Laughs:* "ALL ACCORDING TO MY PLAN!"
In the end the batman who laughs actually saves all reality perfecting it cause it's the absolutely most unexpected thing and gets to kill everyone to do it in the process.
That's why i stopped bothering with comic universes and events and only follow individual characters and teams i love from those universes, gotta say it's way better this way.
@TheVirusSoftware Sometimes quality is better the quantity idk what they are thinking pushing out almost all these amazing comics and events out now when they could have easily saved them for years to come...makes you wonder
@Darth Pancake Studios man you nailed it. I'm exhausted with the jokey joke apocalypse in pop culture. Some things can be serious and if you feel the need to joke not every character has to be comic relief
@Darth Pancake Studios that's the core of the problem. When he created the Court of Owls he made something that fit and added to the existing lore of Batman. All these Metal new villains are BORING. I do not care and like you said the characters don't seem to care. It's just disappointing on almost every level
I liked the little detail where Prime Superman yells out "Uxas" to Darkseid, trying to reach any humanity he has by using his given birth name, great stuff and excellent artwork as always by Capullo.
I'm glad Superboy Prime it's joining the good guys . He was always a hero at heart ,but he was driven to madness and used by people like Alexander Luthor and so on ☺️
This comment is for Arris, but it definitely applies to the whole variant team. I just want to personally thank you for these videos and what you do. I am a serious comics lover. But because of my current lifestyle setup, I never have time to read them. But because of you variant, and you, Arris, I have been able to enjoy some of my favorite comic storylines without feeling left out because I can’t buy or read them. You are an incredible storyteller and I feel like I’m reading the comics themselves sometimes when I heard your synopsis. The power rangers/ninja turtles one?! I almost had to actually buy it just on the off chance I could read it one day. But I get immersed in the story because of your descriptions and it always feels great. Thank you for sharing your passion through these videos because it helped people like me, who no longer have access to that part of life that we once loved, stay connected with the awesome stories that are still coming out today.
The shot in the dark comment i thought was a tie in to his origin, being shot into the dark of space, and that what happened after was the effect of a shot in the dark
Death Metal has become the greatest event in comics ever. The whole DC universe is being unraveled and also wrapped around us is amazing. I totally agree with Arris' commentary about the double intention behind this series. Spot on.
He the Presence/The Source should stand up from his Ass sitting and come to defeat Perpetua and BWL the darkest knight before it's too late so i will sure he's still around lol
The one thing this series depicts is a theory I've had for Years as a comic reader. DC Comics has had characters from almost every aspect of "reality" whose "existence" we're catalysts for a Crisis. Meta-Human, Cosmic, Multi-Dimensional, and even Celestial. Now currently...here we are within one of The Most defining "Crisis" in DC history. Only this time, we get to experience Bruce Wayne's very existence (in Any reality) was always another catalyst for a Crisis. A more grounded aspect "below" the other aspects I've mentioned earlier.
I don't understand how this man does only have 2.12 Million Subscribers. This man should deserve more. He explains a lot of Comics in an interesting way, Origins of a lot of Superhero characters and top 10 lists.
I liked how they made a homage to the New 52. I still can't believe it's been 9 years since it started. I know this is a very unpopular opinion, but I really loved the New 52, as it was what got me into comics in the first place.
@TheVirusSoftware chill. Everyone’s just taking a breather to plan where they’re headed next. Just like in the 90’s when Superman died and they cancelled all his books for a whole year
At this point the Batman who Laughs is becoming obnoxious. The idea and concept is great, but they overused him at this point. He's basically the "No u" card of DC. This "event" also feels shallow, as it's heavily reliant on the one-shot side stories. In fact without those the "main" comics feel like they are missing context. I for one liked the spin-offs this whole "metal" series spawned a lot more then the actual main arc. Like the different Batmans. Those are some great "what if" reads. But they need to put the BWL on ice for while after this.
7:00 daum, i still remember when the darkest thing that could happen to Batman was runing around the city while holding a round, fuse bomb and not being able to throw it anywhere because anywhere he looked was full of people.
Damn superboy prime is so badass that he destroyed true Darkside and the Antimonitor with there own realities by one punch, this is incredible, that shining blow give me some Dragon ball vibes.👌
You think that the Batman rogue and lore couldn't get any more intense, but they just keep delivering. The Robin King is the darkest version of Batman I've seen and it'll be hard to top that.
Great story and I love the idea and art for The Real Darkseid. Although I do feel it was a missed opportunity in naming the Last 52, the Final 52 would have been way better.
After issue 3, i had a feeling that this was another crisis. The fact that they showed how the previous ones could have ended differently, rectified that idea.
I've said it before and I'm saying it again. Death Metal has been freaking nuts and I love it! Can't wait for the Omnibus Scott promised years ago, I'm hoping it will have everything Metal, Death Metal and, all the spin offs.
You can have the entire comic read to you professional like, in order, at comicstorians channel. Just search Comicstorian (insert any title) and he most likely has the entire arc, and reads it as a kind of radio drama. It's really good, especially if you drive for a living like me.
Some say that the DC universe revolves around Superman. Yet Flash and the speedforce always seems to be their favorite scapegoat whenever they write themselves into an unwinable situation.
@@George-mi4fk Lets be honest, how much in the DC universe really has meaning? The heros don't kill and things constantly get reset because again, the writers just can't think of good ways out of the rediculous situations the characters get into. In the end its just kinda lazy.
Still try to measure the strength from dr Manhattan, the darkest knight,and the presence .Omnipotent didn’t mean anything anymore in dc universe What do you guys think?
Can we get a TOP 10 VILLAIN FIGHTS please? It’s always freakin’ awesome to see two villains (or more) going at it. I’m sure there have been some great match ups over the years? Got the idea after watching Trigon and darkseid duke it out in the apokolips war film.
Man despite all the awsomeness the fact bruce wayne(batman/batman who laughs) a human (well not now but it started that way) respect man batman managed to be the biggest threat to the dc multiverse 🤣🤣🤣 respect
Im actually excited for this event. I like how although Dc has many major events it doesn't do a major cosmic event like Marvel every 5 seconds, I've wanted to be a comic book maker for years and DC would be a major inspiration.
I love Death Metal. Ever since I read this issue I’d never though I would ever experience a Crisis event. Every generation had their own Crisis. But man I’d never thought there would another one with mine. I am thankful to be born in 2001. And got to an age to really enjoy reading these comics.
