That's actually a good question: Why doesn't Bruce/Batman just cripple the Joker? He has a rule against killing, not against leaving villains paralised.
Especially given he does it his Rogues Galleries thugs but never Joker, Two Face etc. The closest Bruce did this was in the DCAU with Bane only because he knew he would recover quickly because of the Venom
Because he believes that everyone can be redeemed i think its dumb but thats what his moral code is
42nd thumb
Because it's comic books that's why they need Joker just as much as they need Batman that's why Superman and Spider-Man don't kill their enemies as well it's not rocket science it's very easy to understand
Here's a better question. Why doesn't anyone else in the DC kill Joker instead of them expecting Batman to do it?
To see a Joker actually get what he wants and realize that he bit off more than he could handle is a hell of a story to me.
Turning his intrusive thoughts into another alter ego and weaponizing it is the most batman thing ever
"I am vengeance, I am the night, I AM SERIOUSLY TRAUMATIZED!"
😂
Lmaooo
Ha!!
The fact joker knows about Zur is insane in itself.
Seems like a mcmuffin, but i'm going to just assume the joker is batman/batman is the joker
DAAAAAAAAMN JOKER KNOWS ABOUT A PERSONA! Well the joker is the biggest bat fan soooooo😮
He was part of the original story, when this was the main story. It was a cult, that the Joker was working and ends up being very weird in the story.
It’s hard to describe that run.
I think Morrison did it, maybe?

*DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!*
ALFRED!
"Batman starts killing"
*No one dies.*
Your content is good enough to bring in viewers without the clickbait titles.
Yes
I mean, Batman says he never kills, yet the majority of people who fight him end up dead or crippled.
There is a whole video on here about the extremely deadly physics of Batman.
He's gotta pay the bills. The MCU is beyond repair, so there's not as broad an audience. I have also critiqued the video titles over the last year, the titles began to feel AI generated. To Rob's credit; *titles were changed.*
However, it is *January.* A content creator earns the least amount of money during this time of year. I can let it slide. There's no way he likes having to play the YT algorithm.
(PS: Rob if you read this, I've been following this channel since you were on PKA *years* ago. I will watch a built in ad at the beginning of the video if it pays the bills.)
Bro he has been doing this for so long, I'm considering unsubscribing. So many "Story Explained" videos from him that I have to watch 2-3 times just to realize "Oh he hasn't actually explained anything about this comic, but spent 20 minutes talking about other stories/issues that this comic references."
Thank you for saving my time
"I dont want to leave you guys hanging." Has to be one of the biggest fibs I've ever hear this man say 😂😂 I've followed your covers of the Invincible comics Rob! 😂
He may be a sadistic freak with a cliffhanger kink but he's our sadistic freak with a cliffhanger kink 🥂🏆
I’m saying😂😂
2 million victims later Batman finally starts killing.😂😂😂
😐
I mean, imagine the body count now that he is actually doing it on purpose, lol 😆
What?@@AxelordSMIJES
😂😂😂
"i never thought i could be happy" mask of the phantasm is so god damn good
Amen
Kevin Conroy said that was his favorite moment as Batman.
And a lot of ours' too!
I think it's even more crazy that Joker DEFINITELY KNOWS Bruce Wayne is Batman.
Old news
He's always known, just hasn't cared
@SetoShadow41 Funny enough (odd phrasing I know) Joker’s known Bruce was Batman for a while. Like “a while” a while! Almost a decade now, since Scott Snyder’s amazing run! Hence why we have Death of the Family. It’s really cool! Hope this helps
@@keitarousegawahe didn't always know
That happened when they let multiple terrible writers to write Batman. One of them (james tyion) decided it would be a great idea if joker knew him and all if the batfamily identity.
The Joker has been slowly transforming into an Egon Schiele painting lately.
If this isn’t proof that Batman is insane, I don’t know what is. He does good, but he’s bat$hit crazy.
oh, that’s nothing new😂. if someone couldn’t tell before, idk what to say.
@@katiesonierfanpageI mean, a cave in itself should be a big red flag for people but a big chunk of the audience are anti social men who envy that set up so... 😭🤷🏾♂️
@@nailinthefashionMaybe they're anti-social because something's wrong with the people around them ☕.
@@nailinthefashionAyo don’t shit on caves. Caves are chill…except for the spiders, and the wildlife in general, and the hazards, and the fact I can’t become a caveman and live in solitude, but other than that, caves are kinda ok. Fuck it, changed my own mind actually, fuck caves.
@@TheOneTrueClovehitch god you're so funny lmao "caves are chill" have you ever experienced true darkness with your eyes open? They are NOT. CHILL.
"Batman starts killing" featuring Batman not killing.
I love you Rob and I love these videos and I’m soooo stoked to watch/listen to this video and you tell me about this dope comic! I’m very much enjoying Zurinar!
Thanks homie!
I like the idea of batman using prep time.
It forces the writers to come up with a better story than say Superman/Goku punching hard.
Animated fighting sequences look way cooler and can have more meaning, than an animated forensics nerd out session.
@@V0ltron absolutely, and its a very valid form of art. Its just harder to tell a mystery with a fight.
Kind of gives a better explanation to Batman's whole "no killing" stick, because if Batman kills, Zur would completely take over. Though if this somehow turns out to be Joker became Joker as it was the only way to keep Zur En Arrh in check, somehow... I don't know how I would feel about that.
Yeah
Batman been killing for years lol
Batman does not kill.@@nature-kv3xe
Joker became the Joker because his mind and Darren Haliday's mind got connected. Why there are 3 jokers however is unanswered
@@nature-kv3xe Facts. All the new fans and ever the new writers love to forget, ignore, and try to hide the golden age Batman. The like to think it starts at the TV show version. The original Batman absolutely killed and used guns (he was a damn marksman that would put green arrow and deadshot to shame), yeah he left guys tied up for cops at times but he also left plenty of bodies in his wake.
I love this comic!! Thanks rob!
This was a really, really good review
Epic story,
All of this could have been ended in 5 mins with Martian Manhunter.
I could argue against that with comic book logic but you're totally right. Give Martian Manhunter some love DC.
But you can just say "Batman's mind is beyond repair" or has psychic shielding and blah blah blah, it's the same as how Failsafe took out Superman. (The power of plot.)
This story feels like a combination of Spider-Man with the Venom symbiote and Superior Spider-Man. There's so much Spider-Man in this story they even touch on how everyone Peter, I mean Bruce, loves getting hurt/dying
It almost feels that the big two are getting ready to trade
When you look at it down to it's core, they are more or less the same.
Both make use of prep time to devastating, had family die (more than once), have an enemy that knows their identity/their every weakness. Has an enemy they get along with as often as fight against. Both are constantly holding back.
The main difference between the two of them is their powers, and the fact Spidey actually THRIVES in chaos and Batman loses effectiveness in chaos he didn't plan. Look at every time Batman loses. It is always when someone throws him off his game and makes things stop going along with his plans.
Hugo Strange says in Arkham City that Batman is as much part of the problem as every other villain he refuses to kill. In fact it might actually be much worse, because the villains enter in contact with him and re-emerge with a new purpose, usually vengeful, endangering ever more people now, so Batman is basically acting as a mutagen, and all because he refuses to take out the trash. His refusal to kill is only making Gotham's crime stronger.
This isn't just a problem for Batman, it is every hero that refuses to kill or depower or permanently injure their foes.
The real villain is plot armor.. if Sups off'd everyone. There'd be no more story. If Bats off the Joker there's no more story... Joker needs Bats just as Bats needs him. Bruce is so shoulder deep in that life. That the thought of stopping would turn him more crazy than he already is...
@@Mugenkidd82 Yes, there'd be no more story 'cause he would win, and the streets would be a whole much safer thanks to that kill. You can't reason with cancer, that's precisely my point, dude.
Your uploads are consistently top-notch! Mad respect for your hard work Keep up the fantastic content, you're outstanding
That was one of your best videos in the past several monthes Rob. Thank you. It feels like a return to form.
"what's the first thing the batman sees when he sees a giant N?"
Definitely not the first thing I thought of 💀
“Starts killing”… Like there aren’t regular versions of himself as a killer, alternate timelines, plus the main Batman used to kill people all the time in the 1930’s and straight up kills fools in the 80’s movies.
'THIS ALL I CAN STAND .. AND I CAN'T STAND NO MORE' - BATMAN
i thought that was popeye?
These batman stories are so awesome ❤❤❤
I really loved how Morrison reintroduced all these weird and wacky characters from the silver age and actually made them part of the modern Batman mythology.
Yeeees
If I had a nickel for every time Rob titled a video “Batman starts killing,” I’d have a lot of nickels!
Same situation if thor loses his power again i will have lot of nickel
But how many nickels would be Buffalo Head nickels?
The vision of Zur coming out of the fire... Beautiful 🤩 Gives me spawn imagery.
This was a good one Rob!
Almost like you’re grooming him to become more like Moonknight
Or a Hulk
Split personality thing was established in the 2000s
@@venicethehedgehog4122 I mean it is Axis 2 .
I love Batmans new super strength hand. I wish they showed him using it more though.
"He's probably hiding from the story itself it's so bad"!🤣... that was a good one,HA!!
I think we all have a little Zur deep inside of us.
Hey Rob, Do you make t shirts with your quotes on it? Your quotes are great man.
I live all things Batman. How have I never heard of this Lucy character that was so integral in his training?
"there's a mannequin on a bed, with a TV for a head" - bars
Any way you could cover more Martian Manhunter? Huge fan.
This art is gorgeous.
Batman needs to stay locked up in his own dome & let this guy bring the Brillo to the streets.😆
"that's weird, it doesn't seem to be working..." Perfect
I really love the three jokers story, has one of my favorite panels involving joe chill
So Zur-En-Arrh is basically Bruce Wayne's Hulk
That's terrifying
hey man i love youre content so much, but youre audio sounds like my headphones are going back to the early 2000's.
19:17
Is that panel a meme?
Bruce looks like that one kid holding out a cross crying 😅
nah fr now that u say it..... it looks like batman is about to be whipped by his mama w a belt
I love the interview when they're talking about the suit for the flash movie and they tell Michael it's basically the same but this time you CAN TURN YOUR HEAD
( waiting for big thank you)
Keaton; WHAT...NOOOO YOU RUINED IT ! So they changed it BACK to where he can't turn his head 😂
Even an Adam West analog....ugh....well done sir!
So, I started blastin
Love how the artist referenced Micheal Keaton and Adam wests Batman in Bruce's mind ,they're unhinged versions of the bat but the fact the artist added these two is really cool,stop the timer at 8:07 to see what I mean.
@comicsexplained are you going to cover the latest DC story where everything happens to Beast Boy??
Finally DC content!!🎉
24:17 NOOOOOO LOL I wanted more 😂😂😂
Just so u know rob, this was a legit fun story.
This story makes something new using a lot of old concepts and simply expands on it.
None of this is the wrong or right way to think, just an interesting story involving batman's traumas and struggles.
OMG, the clip with the Animated Batman is Batman - The Cult custom... Awesome
Finally more DC content
Not the Rimmy Tim outfit😂
Yo Rob what happened to your X-Men pitch vid?
I'm kind of surprised that the hellbat armor wasn't used against failsafe lol.
but ultimately this story is looking to be one hell of a good one, and hopefully they will put it in a collected version with failsafe and so on.
"Slay, king!" and so he started blasting.
0:39 would be great if you could mention when these things were released (what year) as a point of reference.
same as in the description: "Batman Issue 139 through 141."
“He broke his back the way bane broke his back”😂
This is some really good joker writing. Doesn’t make up for Gotham war, but still. Peak joker.
Rob, will you cover the story arc happening in World’s Finest since you’re big on anything Kingdom Come?
This is what I've been waiting for baby!
This what its all about !
I suspect that the Joker is a psychological mentor, and during his training, he caused him to lose his memories. This is also the origin of Zur.
You sound like OnlyUseMeBlade LOL. I can’t unhear it
the Halloween (purple/orange) theme is reminiscent of The Long Halloween.
i never knew this is where that outfit came from ive always used it in my Arkham knight play throughs because the very stand out and not really professional look always caught my eyes and i always though it was hilarious how much people just hate on the design for no real reason besides its not normal
As one that loves 89 Batman the brief dialog about him not turning his neck was great 😅
when an unstoppable object meets an unmovable object. it ricochets off goin another direction whithout ever stopping meanwhile the other object never moves
I thought this persona was explored years ago in the comics and it resurfaced again during the Gotham War.
sick story man
6:15 Nice nod to The Killing Joke.
yo comics explained if u see i need to know am i tripping or did you change the title of this vid after dripping it i coulda sworn the title was "batman stops holding back" instead of what it is now
The day you notice that UA-cam actually lets you change the name and thumbnail to a video several times before you see it.
7:13 i know exactly what that feels like. Smoke too much pcp and youll get stuck lol
So they just made Batman into moon knight?! Meanwhile moon knight became more like Batman , well before that thing happened to him 😂
Moon Knight was always Batman. Just like Black Panther,Blade,Wolverine and The Punisher
I was thinking Venom, but Moon Knight is indeed more fitting.
mind blowing story cant wati tor next story
I see the trauma from Bane is finally kicking in, huh😮
“literally just”
Hey rob, can you do marvel powerless, it's like ruins but I would really like to see your take on it
I remember that Zurr-En-Ar was Bruce’s back up in the BATMAN RIP event when he fought Dr. Hurt who’s pretending to be Thomas Wayne.
17:11 what tf is the 2nd panel? is that supposed to be his head or sum shit cuz it looks freakishly long.
Imagine if The Batman Who Laughs tapped into his Zur-En-Arrh
No one can plan for everything, but when you have tons of small stahes, agreements, data, etc., like a miriad of small backup plans, and if you have enough wit to recombine those into a plan which suits currennt situation, depending on their quantity, you pretty much can create an illusuon of readyness for everyone. Tested tons of times. Works good, althought not 100% of times, obviously.
So, I guess we can assume, that Batman has a plan for everything ;)
haha 89 keaton batman, used to be my fav film when i was a kid 😆 even back then as a kid u could pick up on how stiff he looked when he tried to turn his head 🤣
Adam West Zurenar is WILD
Batman becomes Batfleck and goes to war with Zur and Joker. 1:28 All joking aside though it just seems to me that DC is getting back at Geoff John's for making the story of three Jokers and they tried to do it themselves to make it continuity and they screwed that up.
However I do believe zarsky is trying to reference the three Jokers since he made the red mask Persona be the main guy to create Joker in the first place from most of the Batman Multiverse.
8:01 Batman Prime Vs Multi Batmen of Zur en ar
15:37
Round 1) Batman Prime Vs Batman 66 Zur en ar = Winner Batman prime
Round 2) Batman prime Vs Batman 89 Zur en ar = Winner Batman prime cause he can turn his head
17:01 I don't know why but when I saw Zur in the Fail-Safe robot body all of a sudden I start hearing the Terminator theme playing in the Background
Who wants to see a live action adaptation of Shadow of the Bat? It's time for horror and Batman on the big screen.
Gotta love the Adam West Zur En Arrh
He went from a clown who didn't wanna know Batman's secret identity and took drastic action to prevent himself from learning the identity to a guy who just wants to mess with Bruce Wayne essentially since he knows he's batman the relationship gained something but also lost something
Y'know, I thought it was pretty cut-and-dry as to whether Batman should terminate his criminals, and then you show me that he just had a battle with multiple versions of himself in his head, and they're all arguing like they're real people. And now, I'm not so sure. I think he's actually crazier than his criminals.
Not a fan of the zur en arh retcon....and it's pretty cut and dry. Batman catches them - the ones who FAIL are the government and legal system. Where is the smoke for them? How many officers will shoot a criminal because they feared for their safety? It's BS.
He said it himself mt mustsched friend: If he crossed that line he'd never come back
I got a 20 minute long Spider-Man episode as a ad😂how is this allowed on UA-cam
I love how instead of getting therapy, he creates a mind palace to beat up Evil incarnations of himself lmao
Hes only a billionaire he can’t afford a therapist
“He will help you finish with all your living”😂
Would have loved the 3 Jokers thing be like Joker with 3 different personalities that all talk to each other and work together from inside his head.
Batman's got that good ol' Parker-Luck
The thumbnail is from a separate comic where Batman snaps jokers neck after joker said he’d keep killing Superman’s kids
Even the Batman of Earth 2, upper left, I'd know that pose from the 1930's anywhere.
