      I don’t know if he was actually referencing to a deer being unable to move if it sees headlights. Mostly because he said deadlights, and also because The Joker is referenced to as John Doe in Arkham Asylum (John Doe is also put as the name of a man with no identitification/identity registered anywhere, while a woman’s would be Jane Doe). I think it was just a reference as to Joker’s identity being unknown.

    Who won?
    We did. This was the perfect ERB. The beat was incredible, the bars were so layered, even the matchup had such great confluences of timing, relatability, subject matter and intent. The production value was absolutely insane. This ERB was a perfect storm, lightning in a bottle.
    And your analysis of the bars, and even your frantic nerdgasms by the end are top notch and likely EXACTLY what ERB shoot for. Great reaction, great channel. Subbed.

    I think that the "You're John Doe in my deadlights" line refers to a doe (a deer, a female deer) in headlights

    If you look closely, when he says "I spit acid" it's from him squeezing the flower on his tux
