I went blind 5 Years ago, I thought I lost the ability to enjoy comics. Thanks two channels like yours and other you tubers that break down the comic books that come out every week it helps me to stay in the loop with my comics! I wanted to take the time out to say thank you and your videos mean a lot more than you possibly know.
@Bishop GrandFoo Why?
Bishop GrandFoo lmao I got the joke
I've installed cable services for soo many blind people ... they usually use the voice commands and voice navigation to use phones

daemon darwin oh ok thanks
Grim Knight? You mean...
The Batman Who Shoots?!
School shooter batman lol
@@RoxDZoro Yes. Nothing says comedy like the term "school shooter".
That was Jason Todd Batman during battle for the cowl.
Blatman
@@greglott4977 man your comment is the funniest
grim knight's biggest weakness was he relies too much on guns, so all his other "Bat-Skills" suffer
He became lazy, never had to suffer and develop the great bat skills.
Hrm. So you're saying that because he accepted firearms to deal with problems, Grim Knight never bothered to train his body our Dark Knight considered necessary to combat crime. He was a normal man, with a high aptitude for guns. Grim Knight was the same Batman, but lacking the physical prowess the Dark Knight worked so diligently to achieve. Thats how his Gordon was able to fight him on even footing.
Missing that Bat-Martial-Arts
Yeah, kinda like the way the Punisher can't fight any more since he uses guns. Oh wait...
@@greglott4977 Didn't say Grim couldn't fight. Or never learned to. But Grim Knight's and Dark Knight's training is ENTIRELY different...so, Grim's strong point is firearms. So why not that be a reason for him felling to Gordon?
That moment when you're interested in the concept of the Batman who Laughs ... but can't be bothered to find the comics to read them. Then there's a channel like this. Yay nerds!
Fractured Raptor we’re laze e-Nerds
i found them easy.
I'm Dirty Dan
I love Audible! Yup I’m in that nerd category

And I have to get my Rob Core ring! He saves me so much money on comics!
You can literally go in your local book store/ comic shop/ go online and pick up the recently release the barman who laughs hardcover which features this story. It's not hard.
The Batman who laughs is the scariest thing coming out of DC in my opinion.
It would make a awesome movie
Xavier Roberts trueeee
DCeased is also a thing.
Bitch please, Doomsday would beat he’s CANDY ass!! 💁🏽♂️
Ville Tarvonen brute force like doomsday’s would never win, the reason he Is so dangerous is his intelligence and abilities, not his strength
@@Iamvilletarvonen He is a Batman, which means he has a plan for dealing with something like Doomsday. (He could just let Devastator Batman deal with him.)
Grim knight: you took everything from me
Jim Gordon: I don’t even know who you are
this is so true
Grim knight: you will
The coolest thing about this to me is that Snyder really points out how there are no half measures with Batman. Either he kills no one, or kills everyone. He doesn't use guns, or he exclusively uses guns. Also, Alfred is so freaking METAL.
The other Snyder is on the "kills everyone" page.
Don't forget the coded message! "Still Here HaHa". It is found with the single red letters in issue #7.
I was wondering about those Red Letters, thanks for translating it for me.
I really didn't want to watch the video again :)
Timothy Tippett when I put that together I was like "Son of a b*tch"
What does it mean
@@grimsquad273 It means Batman can still become The Batman Who Laughs.
ANYONE IN THE DC UNIVERSE: (blinks)
ROB: *AND SEE IT'S KIND OF A COOL THING HERE BECAUSE*
EDIT: I'm not dragging him for this, I love hearing it because it shows how much unbridled passion Rob has for the lore of DC and beyond. I love the intricate details and nuances he sees in all these stories and characters.
Yeah it's getting to me too.
Asriel Cypher Robs passion and enthusiasm has got me back into comics you can’t knock him for that🤘
i came here for this exact comment.
@@Asriel_Cypher It's just filler words, like when you say um, er, fuckin, etc. He just really fuckin likes comics, get over yourself
Same
If they manage to make a movie about The Batman Who Laughs it would probably have to be a hard R rating or an NC-17 film/series of films.
They could do a series on Netflix or something, I would definitely watch it
I think The Batman Who Laughs should've said that he's the worst Bruce Wayne. Because he is, as a result, actually the best Batman.
I mean, the reason he didn't change completely was because he was possibly the most Batman of all Batmen.
The Rickest Rick? Jk
I agree, that definitely was what the leading factor for him succeeding
At the end when Bruce is talking some letters are red. Put the red letters together and it says ' Right here still Ha Ha '
Bruce isn't free of the Joker toxin.
Hahaha that’s a cool detail.
Of course Grim Knight should never be anywhere as good a fighter as Batman because he never challenged himself and always used weapons. He may be a great fighter for sure but he always immediately used lethal weapons. Batman has gone through so much just to not have to kill someone. Overcoming challenge is what builds skill. Honestly Grim Knight probably became a little lazy compared to our Batman. So im not surprised that Gordon could get the jump on him. He wasnt expecting him and he isnt used to being in a close quarters combat especially after he has been dominating his Gotham for so long.
Its not as shocking as some might think.
Could Gordon stand a chance against our Batman? Lol hell no.
Exactly and even if he did train the way that the main universe batman did , he doesn't have the same fighting experience . Using guns made him get used to not fighting
Juuuust what i was thinking when he got to that part. You put it much better than i could have.
If he's as good at fighting with guns as Batman is with his fists it doesn't leave a lot of opportunity to practice his unarmed combat after all. I'm sure he's competent at that but again, guns were his primary method so I can totally see his martial skills suffering from that.
CR Smyth you're kidding right? Batman used to kill people willy nilly all the time.
the human body is surprisingly resilient, and it's a lot easier to put someone down with a shot to the brain than it is to know where and how hard to hit someone to incapacitate them without killing them. takes a lot more skill, which is why a gun is so much more accessible means of self defense. not saying they're following real life rules here, but it takes significantly less time to learn how to take someone down with a gun than it does to learn to take someone down in hand to hand combat.
For those specifically wondering when Part 7 starts:
@1:08:00
This has got to be one of my favorite series you've covered Rob.
MVP right here.
Wish I saw this be4 i started looking and found it myself lol
Thank you good sir
Omg thank you so much. You've saved so many people the trouble man.
@Linda Niemkiewicz Ah... It is the part that we were expecting when Rob decided to put all the videos together instead of just release the final part.
I have to admit, I ended up stumbling upon this before bed - really stoned and was such a big comic book collector as a child - this brought me right back... I didn't actually know this story - but listening to you tell it was really calm, easy to understand - you reiterated parts to remind your audience - It was really amazing.
Thank you for putting your time into this!
Thank you stoned guy from 3 years ago
Batman Learns Method Acting and Saves the Day
For me...Batman Beyond was almost a logical next generation with a Batman who, while he could create heroes (and villains) from all his Robins, but he never could create a Batman. Dick is a good Batman, but it was still coming off as a 'not quite' because of his circus upbringing.
With Terry, it was perfect. Then finding out it was out of something Amanda Waller did? It pretty much was the logical outcome and the stories felt 'right' for that future.
That's why I will always like Batman Beyond.
His laugh at the end of the intro...anyone else suddenly worried the Bat got to him?
Also, Gordon’s line about being blind and out for blood is amazing.
If I had a dollar for how many times he has said “it’s kind’ve of a cool thing” or a different variation of that I could buy DC
Or "now this takes takes the cake".
Or " what this does"
I know, right? :D
Needs to be on a t-shirt
Facesofevildead YES!!!
Yeah DC doesn't "play it fast and loose with death like marvel does"... they just kill (reboot) their entire universe fast and loose 😂.
Remember when they started the whole "death doesnt really stick" because Superman was nose diving in sales?
Barry Allen was gone for like 20 years so like you know that’s kinda dead to me
Yeah DC has done more full universe reboots than Marvel but Marvel has a lot of cosmically powerful characters and artifacts that often mess with order.
Marvel is also more willing to do stories about their multiverse instead of sticking with their main universe too much like DC does.
@@cjtrules1 DC has done more reboots because their universe is small and diversity of characters pale when compared to marvel. So because of DC size being smaller than marvel universe. It's easier for them to do a reboot. It's like washing a big truck vs washing a small car (DC). YOU will wash the smaller vehicle faster
Fitness-Science- Explained except marvel does reboots a lot. It's just theirs aren't always canon. So that's not why DC does it. It's just DC can't get enough reboots.
The art of the batman who laughs is amazing.
Take a shot for everytime the video says *"COOL"* and you'll be the next Joker.
Dead*
Super passed out drunk before a third way into the video is complete
Look at all those Ads lol
Another person without ad blocker 😅
I don't see any lmao
Ryon Bachanlal nothing wrong with supporting creators!
This shit is free.
The batman who laughs was one of my favourite runs. I really hope we see more of him in the future
Ripples of a multiverse. A joker would eventually become a ‘Bruce Wayne’.
White knight basically lol
@@Billonator117 My all time favorite Batman comic
Batman who laughs and red death were literally instant gold!!! Sometimes the greatest ideas are the most basic, and you going with alternate versions of Bruce Wayne was something I'm really surprised they haven't already exploited! I really enjoyed the whole metal story lines. Exploiting the whole dark Multiverse was also something that has probably created a never-ending storytelling core
YES!!!! I have soooooooo been hoping you'd get to this "full story" sooner rather than later! Thank you so much, Rob, for all your work! I've been a HUGE fan of yours for a few years now. It's been a rough few years but I always had your videos to watch to bring me up when I was feeling down! Thanks again, sir!
I had a dream that the batman who laughs origin is the killing joke...
Well, that is the idea about The Joker plan, make Batman realize he is as insane as The Joker.
One beautiful horror
That would have been better than what we actually got.
This... this is interesting... In a terrifying way 🐧
"if prep time works for Batman, prep time works for anything else" these.. are words of motivation
Hey man, you have really great content and make it easy for people who forgot they love comics to love them again! Thanks!
Anyone in any comic ever: ...
Rob: now see this is kinda cool and it sets up every other thing that happens ever which is kinda interesting and it’s pretty cool
Batman: We need to work together Joker
Joker: *FUSION...HA-*
Batman: JOKER NO
Rule 1 to a good Batman story = Prep Time Beats All
So watching all of this video was essentially like traveling back in time. Thanks Rob, I got to redo my new years over again!
Great video, you should post a video on how you edit your speech to sound so crispy and clear it's great
Three full stories in one week?
Oh rob, u spoil us too much
Shaq Odom At least 10 ads per vid, he doesn't mind.
@@bonedoc4556 The Ads don't even work sometimes.
Batman who laughs yes!! I appreciate the full story and I get to hear it in its entirety
Thanks Rob✊🏾
Thanks Rob I've been wanting to get into this title but haven't had the time or funds to do so. Thank you for making the story accessible and adding your insight into the events.
I have two jobs, live with a large family and barely enough time to keep up with the comics I love. When you do videos like this on comics I don't follow but want to check out, it really makes me feel like I'm not getting left behind. I can echo juice30 in saying that you have helped me stay in the loop, made me feel like I wasn't getting left behind. You can hear how much you love these comics that sometimes I honestly feel like we're in the same room and you're a good friend getting me caught up. Thanks a billion and more, CE, you rule!!!!
Imagine being somewhat successful in life, nerd 🤓🤓🤓
Thanks for doing a full story video!!
God have I been needing this in my life, I watched ever vid individually and now I can watch them all together
The Batman Who Laughs has a sick design. And the cover where he's fighting Harley Quinn is honestly one of the coolest comic-covers I've ever seen.
I could’ve watched a slightly shorter vid of this but comics explaned is my go to I’ve easy listened to 1000s of hours of him telling hero stories great content man thank you!
Thanks for posting full story vids they are easier to watch
“I’ve been coughing up some delicious lung butter” this made my laugh so hard XD sorry rob
I like how they revealed what happened to alfred but that was just f'd up
This video is incredible!!! The depth that you went in with explaining The Batman Who Laughs had peaked my interest into comics again. I started this video yesterday and have 38 minutes left until its over. The Grim Night became a personal favorite because I love The Punisher and seeing that had brought a little joy about a "what if" scenario. Seeing Bruce embrace the dark side was kinda scary, definitely gives me the vibe of the Lazarus Pit side effects.
The story telling is some of the most challenging explanations I've ever had to comprehend... My hats off to you. I do enjoy listening to you try to explain all this nonsense.
The Batman Who Laughs' visor is a good analogy for a mental illness as well: the way it can twist reality to see ill intent everywhere
man i had never seen, read, or heard of any of this batman story till now. I dont know what i was expecting but the whole time i was like wtf is going on here and blown away by the art style of these comics, gonna heave to read them now thanks to this video
This is my first video I've watched of your channel and I love it. New sub
Dude seriously I love your videos. Thanks for doing these.
DC Universe Online now has that 'The Batman Who Laughs' costume available.
Got to love the fore-shadowing twist at the end. what is dead may never die
Your channel is a gold mine keep it up
Love your videos man. I already know this video will get most likely around 300, 0000 views and higher
3 million?
You alone have gotten me,interested in comics, love listening to,your breakdowns, playlist and all.please keep it up man.. PEACE
Oh no. If Jim's infected...We'll see the birth of the Bat-Chappie Who Laughs.
Ah yes of course your here as well
I have been away from this Channel for almost two years.... this catch up has been AMAZING!!
oh man, batman/superman vs laughing Shazam brought me here loved the story but has me wondering where the rest of the Laughing Shazam story is, sry i love watching your channels love superheros all that but i don't stop in here enough, keep up the great work man, best story teller on youtube lol
Perfect thank you 🙏
“Marvel plays it fast and loose”
(Mar-Vell crying in the distance)
Glad I went back through all your videos to find out that part 7 was actually a thing snd it wasnt just a gaint cliffhanger awesome!!
Love these series, it tells me the story while giving info about inside nods and references
I really enjoyed this, even if the end is a bit hand-wavey. Still, Scott Snyder does some good work, and that art is fantastic.
I’m 24, and as a kid I loved Batman beyond. It was so cool seeing a old Bruce wayne mentor Terry McGinnis with a futuristic bat suit, the fact Batman could fly was amazing haha but keep up the videos, i fucking love you dawg.
DUDE I LOVE YOUR BREAKDOWNS!!!!!!
I love these , The Batman who laughs is awesome.
The batman who laughs story continues in Scott snyters justice league.
YESSSSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EVER SINCE I PICKED UP ISSUE 7
Amazing video man and the batman who luaghs full story is so cool :]
Big fan of your videos bro, You're cool Af. Got me into comics haha.
Joker and Batman laughing together may be one of favorite comic moments. I am new to comics so I don't have a lot to choose from but I bet others would agree!
the grim knight is also used to using guns and less used to hand to hand combat, so id say thats why gordon got the upper hand
Played at half speed sounds like you are HAMMERED! So great!
Bro I listen to this podcast video vibes all day thanks man
How many times does he say "it's kinda a cool thing" in this single video
Isaac Guan take a shot every time he does it and you’ll have a great time
Idk, how many times are people going to point this out?
@@stevensanchez1192 it's cool to do it ;) soo a long cool time
121 times
Basically
ROB i have been waiting for this video since The Batman Who laughs first appeared #RobcoreRULES
your voice is soothing man heaven.
lately I've been watching all you're videos :) just finished watching the spider verse story and now im watching this before I continue dark nights metal,justice league, and death metal full story ☺ so freaking good man keep it up. Now I want a Robcore ring lol
The moment I am watching this the weather goes from sunny and 100 to dark and windy with rains coming
Can't spell Rob without "bro!" 😎 Love ya, man!
Your amazing!!! Thanks!
this was so great!
My theory is that Gordon can defeat grim knight in a fist fight because that version of Batman probably doesn’t focus on hand to hand combat because he uses guns. That’s the comics logic anyway.
Well this just concluded into some Bat sheet crazy mode. God I love this storyline.
I have been wondering about that visor but didn't want to ask lol. Thanks as always!
I watched all of it and it was AMAZING
I find it very interesting and relatively realistic that the Punisher Batman is taken out by a simple trick and his own over confidence because Batman having the no kill rule is exactly what makes him such a terrifying foe. He has spent his entire life taking out some of the strongest people/monsters you can imagine without ever killing them and that, of course, has honed his fighting skills, foresight, and knowledge of human psychology. Punisher Batman, on the other hand, might still be a very formidable fighter and still have a lot of Batman's skills and know how, but at the end of the day a majority of his fights were probably solved by just aiming the guns at his enemies and pulling the trigger. He's probably a hell of a marksman, but that's really the only skill he's been honing since he was a boy
Normally a gun will overpower martial arts but when it’s the guy you call for a detailed explanation of how to break every bone in your body in such a way that it does the least damage to your vital organs and brain but causes the most pain, and how to apply it to mfs like Superman, guns aren’t enough
is there a drinking game for every time rob said hey look.. cause i'm drunk now lol
Rob these tracks you have in the background sound nice! Could you post a list?
Yo Rob, could you do like Fantastic Four Fridays when they release another issue? If you don't have much planned for Friday. I love the Fantastic Four and I loved the Jonathan Hickman run you did back in the day.
This is like an audio book for comics. I love it. Lol
When you watch the full thing "it's kind of a cool thing here" gets really repetitive haha good run through though man, enjoyed it!
Thank you for what you do.
I love this channel.
1:19:40 Rob: "DC doesn't really play it fast and loose with death like Marvel does." Everyone Else: Glances awkwardly at The Death of Superman.
Okay but Superman didn’t just “come back from the dead” the way marvel characters can literally pop in and out of the afterlife depending on their powers... Superman literally HEALED DEATH. It’s in his power set that given enough time and energy he will always heal. That’s never been taken away from him. Usually if a dc character returns they are revealed to have faked their death, or some real weird shit is going down.
DC: It was just a phase mom!
Jason Todd❓👀
@@ezequielmarquez715 Still took years.
@@keenanmccarty9925 so if you took any dead kryptonion from krypton and put them under a yellow sun would they heal eventually and come back?
I wish they would do more with this character , just have to wait till Donnie Cates gets a hold of Batman one day :)
I've been waiting forever for this part
Hello Rob ☺️ thabk you so much for reading these stories to me🥺
