- During the unforgettable events of DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH, Batman found a mystery he can’t even begin to solve-a strange bloodstained smiley-face button embedded in the Batcave wall. All analysis suggests the button is not of this universe...so where did it come from? And who left it here? These are questions only the Flash can help answer.Never miss an episode by subscribing today! bit.ly/2WYvgkt #batman

17:51 Ben: “Hey... Hey-Hey-Hey!!! Shut up!!!”
Coming soon from DC Comics: Superman/Aquaman: The Lapel, Wonder Woman/Green Arrow: The Cuff-link and Green Lantern/Martian Manhunter: The Belt Buckle.
Grievousish Im holding out for Catwoman/LoisLane: The Corset! Lol
Waiting for the villian:
Joker/Lex Luthor: The mask
Cyborg/booster gold: the wristwatch
Honestly a green lantern and martian manhunter comic could be pretty good
Yeah have it were gl ( hal or John) is investigating something but all clues point to a group of Martians committing the crimes so gl goes looking for MM but turns out he's already looking into it himself. John then reveals that not only is it Martians but it's green Martians. They can then go on a cosmic road trip to try and find out what's happening.
There is a hockey game in there because Jason Fabok is LUDICROUSLY Canadian.
Lucifer Morningstar: "So you think your God?"
Dr. Manhattan: "No. I'm just one of many puppet's like you, except I can see the strings."
Lucifer Morningstar: "Ha, No shit really!"
Dr. Manhattan: "What is so amusing?"
Lucifer Morningstar: "Everything"
Funny, Manhattan is blue and it's DC, Mephisto is red and it's Marvel... huh, go figure, they do stay true to their colours.
I see Sal is a silver lantern now
Don't you do that to me. Don't you make me tear up in public.
Batman 22 hit me at just the right time in my life. I read this issue when I was coming to terms with realizing my dad was not the father I had been longing for deep down. That comic really helped me process that and brought me to tears, it’s one of my favorite issues ever.
That rocks, dude. Not the sad part, but the fact that this comic hit you like that.
ComicPOP yeah, it was the first time a story really affected me and so now I have a whole new perspective of art and comics specifically
"Are you referencing Batman and Robin? Because if you are... kudos."
Oh PLEASE give me a time stamp!
100% of the Langilers references I’ve heard over the years have only come from ComicPop.
Comic pop sold a stephen king book to me and they don't even know
"So...you're supposed to be God?"
"Is that a problem?"
"Eh, just a...little problem. _stifled laugh_ "
"..." *vaporizes*
It doesn't matter if you become an apathetic God. A man will always have his pride to think about.
Fun fact: the issue with all of those Easter Eggs is drawn by Howard Porter, who was the artist on JLA when Grant Morrison was writing it. A lot of the things on that page are references to that run on JLA, most notably The Philosopher’s Stone, which is the main MacGuffin in the Rock of Ages arc.
Which reminds me... Sal, PLEASE do JLA: Rock of Ages on Back Issues! It’s completely insane but really awesome, and would fit the time constraints reasonably well. Plus, people will get to see where “Darkseid is” comes from.
Trying to find it in the office!
Promise I will watch this episode after I read the book
Riley Depiazzi I have to do this sometimes, but I always come back. I hope you do too. :)
Riley Depiazzi I've read it already, and I must say: I am anxious to see how the Doomsday Clock series will unfold.
Marcus Hamner that’s good because I ordered both the button and the 2 issues of doomsday clock and they come in the mail tomorrow so I’m super excited to read them
Sal going in on Marvels tie-ins gives me life. The Button should have been called "Hey dont forget we have that thing you thought we forgot about" parts 1,2 and 3
1)bruce meets thomas and they kill thomas at the end of the story arc (button)
2)clark meets jorel and they kill jorel at the end of the story arc(ozz-effect)
3)wonder woman meets zeus(her father) and they kill zeus at the end of the story arc(latest ww story arc)
Jai Sachdev amping up orphan power
Would be cool to see al three fathers at some point together since they could all handle themselfs
Would be cool to see al three fathers at some point together since they could all handle themselfs
Is Zues still Wonder Woman’s father post Rebirth?
Nah, Baby Darkseid is already killing all her relatives.
Still want you guys to do Futures End lmao
Sam Moore I bet they will do it on episode 200
Sal hates it too much for them not to do it.
Adam Jankelowitz agreed! Lol
@@adsjj1 😂
Its horrible man
Could the reason psycho pirate's mask interacts with the button and psycho pirate can remember the universe is that it is emotion based powers and the emotions are able to transcend dimensions and escape manhattan's powers, and that is why it took Barry to remember wally and tether him to the universe
And later we find Psycho Pirate in 5th dimensional library. Pounding on the shelves, shouting, "Make me stay, Batman! Don't let me go!"
10:32 Saturn Girl's ability: "I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!!!!"
19:22 cue Ethan’s hermit Alan Moore face
I love how Sal just casually throws shade in almost every episode.
If Thomas Wayne came back his favorite grand kids would be Damian and Jason change my mind
I'd love to see that family bonding
He was instrumental in Bane killing Alfred right in front of Damian.
Only criticism...the zoom in on secret empire should have been 15 mins longer
Tom Pescatore pure gold
44:54 basically season 1 of the flash lol
By accessing the powers of the speed force I’ve seen that 2018 will be an excellent year for comic pop 🤗👍🏾
all i need is to hear that piano intro and I am ready....love this show
You guys are by far my favorite UA-cam channel keep up the great work!!
You kept the episode count, all that's left is the old thumbnail, and SAL, I am still waiting on a Back Issues on Batman Vampire
#JusticeForTelos
37:18 "I'm going to blow them and myself to kingdom come"
Flash: Wow, I thought it was impressive enough that I could make it to this reality...
Phelus: “Ah. He said it!”
39:46 that langoliers explanation caught me off guard.
My interpretation is that there's two cosmic forces at odds here, the Speedforce (or some force inside it) and Dr. Manhattan. The Speedforce really wants to point out to the Justice League that there is something wrong with the current universe by placing the Button and giving Barry the chance to get Wally and Jay back etc, whereas Dr Manhattan tries to prevent that from happening but at the same time can't directly intervene.
3:59 Ben uses the speed force to change his clothing.
The most fun event in which nothing happened.
Basically Crisis of Nothingness.
Came back to this oldie to pretend Death Metal wasn't a thing....
Or maybe he took the blood to recreate the Comedian for Doomsday Clock
Lyfe Is
Nope their all their
Look closer to the batman returns statue
tom kings batman is either you love it or either you hate it
Most people love it, overwhelmingly, but this is internet fandom, so there will always be a haters corner complaining about it not being 'muh Batman'.
just like there will always be fanbois drooling over a Batman that carelessly gets he throat slit by Holly Robinson.
The Langoliers are coming!
Irony of Tom King not writing Batman well as of late is that the Batman Annual last month was THE BEST Batman or just single issue of a comic book for the entire year! I literally sobbed at the ending with old Selina Wayne in the batmobile with the tiny kitten mourning Bruce. Ripped me apart!
Langley M Neely agreed
He "un made" the button and by doing that the comedian is alive again, thx guys u r amazingly perceptive
Sal: We'll wait a year and talk about doomsday clock
Geoff Jhons and Gary Frank: I don't know about that one chief
I think that Marvel heard your rant about their events from this episode because they have since stopped executing their events in such a haphazard manner. So thank you Sal!
That’s noice the lenticular covers make literally make my skin crawl
Lawrenceii sorry!
fuck yeah what a way to begin the year, the button....
The Batman/Reverse Flash fight in this might actually be one of my favourite fights in DC comics honestly. It's so fucking sick watching Batman fight for his life in slow motion using nothing but a little prep time
what if Dr.Manhattan is taking the blood to revive the comedian
I remember a great scene in Identity Crisis where we see the hideout/ hangout for villains, and someone mentions “Oh, that’s Clock King/some time based villain. This version says that he’s from 6 seconds before he died.”
If only Rebirth had knocked that shite out of canon.
What if the blood lifting off the button is how the Comedian came back in Doomsday Clock number 2?
Kept thinking the same thing.
glad to know I'm not crazy for having the same idea
I love how Thomas' entire advice for Bruce is to be a good father to his son, the way he could never be and be happy. He emphasized the need for Bruce to act as a father. So what does Tom King do ? Have Bruce propose without even telling Damian about it, and then proceed to completely ignore him. There is absolutely no way the Button was written by King, as that hack couldn't write Batman even if his life dependent on it. The Button is 100% the product of Johns and Williamson, and it shows by actually being a good book. Great episode as usual guys.
The fact Geoff Johns had to rewrite Tom’s part of the Button says a lot.
Finally picked up this book with the lenticular cover. (a word i didnt known before your video lol) my wife proceeded to play with her nails on the cover most of the way home. Thank you for the funny content. 😂
It is weird how much I get off to lenticular covers on comics. Like... I might have a problem. But if it's wrong, I don't wanna be right.
Eobards been stabbed, burned, disintegrated, had his neck snapped, been killed in a lot of ways and always comes back.
I'm sure someone has said this already (or multiple times), but this episode is way funnier if you're up on your Back Issues continuity
I would love for you to do a back issues on the Sinestro Corps War! You've covered Rebirth, and Blackest Night, might as well round out you're Lantern content :p
Batman vs Rerverse Flash. The real One Minute war
Good video. I remember though hypertime being introduced in The Kingdom as opposed to Zero Hour.
Always felt it weird that Thomas Wayne didn't sign it "Dad"
The scratching of that material is literally like my top 3 least favorite and you guys were KILLING ME 😩😅🤣🤣
Great vid, loved this story when it came out, even without any real "button" resolution. Just a thought: could the blood re liquifying be a nod to 'cloning' or 'restoring' the Comedian in Doomsday Clock #2 ?! Im sure its not the case and will probably be contradicted by the next issue, but in going over the book again its the first thought that came to mind. Cheers!
I just assumed that Reverse Flash was sent back to the place he came from after Dr. Manhattan killed him, which would be the Batcave.
The way I interpret it is that when Reverse Flash realized he was about to be nuked by Doctor Manhattan he tried to make a fast getaway and escape the way he came but wasnt fast enough to escape it fully. So he gets halfway and his destination set before dying. Its also why he oesnt get fully disintegrated like everyone else Doctor Manhattan kills. He missed half of him.
Thank you comic pop for helping with insomnia, as always greetings from the uk, hope you are safe and well, and the comic population of large. I have been waiting for you to do this issue? Thanks
Ben's comment about Thomas loving Damian has aged...interestingly.
The hockey game has to be due to Jason Fabok. He's Canadian.
45:00 you guys just described the tv show lol kinda like it
Ben snapping flashes neck had me dying lol
I guess Barry said, “Well Bruce, welcome to the I Killed Eobard Club! We can put this right next to the exhibit of me killing him.”
I dont understand why anyone wants to see the Justice League fight Watchmen characters. Batman, or hell, even Green Arrow, could take down the Crimebusters and the Minutemen togehter short of Manhattan himself. One of the big points of Watchmen was that all those people kind of sucked.
It's so nice and cool to see Sal having a ring on his finger lol
It’s finally here!
9:45 "Are you making a Batman & Robin reference? Because if you are...KUDOS."
Well now we know the full Superman button story, one mystery down.
If Marvel and DC somehow does another crossover sometime in the future, it has to involve Psycho Pirate and Molecule Man. One can remember events of previous timelines/universes, and the other exists in each universe.
The way Batman stabs Reverse Flash's foot. Him needing to stand in order to vibrate, and to use any of his powers really... Is fun writing.
I liked the lenticular cover ASMR throughout the episode.
you guys keep me company while I read. love the show!
I like how the algorithm brings ne back to Comic Pop
batman: "I have a son"
me: huh do u have 4 wtf?
Carl P to be fair, Damian is his son by blood.
u really think that would matter to an orphan???
the WHOLE BATFAMILY is basic on people coming together to save the city they love Bruce doesn't love Damian more than the others that would mean Bruce love Alfred least then the Thomas because he's not blood ???
does that sound like batman to u
Never said that. But technically speaking, Damian is blood, the others aren't so I'm right in a way. Plus, Bruce used a lazarus pit to bring back Damian, he didn't do that with Jason, so... there you go.
And to Bruce, there is no difference between blood son and other he of all people would understand that and that why it's wrong the writer wasn't thinking about what Bruce would have said he was thinking about what he would've.
and Bruce didn't know the pit could do that at the time remember ras said it almost never works.
That's King's Batman, one good thing lost in a sea of wtf? although now it's a little better.
yay the button
I really like these new thumbnails for the the episode. They have a fun vibe to them, they are really great.
Damn the set looks awesome
+The Graphic Loop Thanks!
I see Ben's getting to be a bit of a Diva from his wardrobe change around 4 minutes in. ;-)
“In this alternative world where hockey is popular” as a Canadian I never knew hockey to be anything but the most popular sport on tv.
What if Manhattan removed the blood off the comedian pin in order to ACTUALLY clone the comedian which explains how he is alive in DOOMSDAY CLOCK #2.and now this clone is under the control of Dr Manhattan, and has been sent to capture Adrian veidet because he is messing with Manhattans plan and he is interacting with lex luthor to solve the puzzle.
...... Very intriguing
"FLASHPOINT" is sort of the DC version of "AGE OF APOCALYPSE". We gonna be seeing that thing bubble up, and character crossovers, and attempts to catch that lightning in a bottle, again, for years.
I don't know why but I am so happy that the number came back.
Honestly was hoping to see your famous Alan Moore impression Sal.
Happy to see an ad on a video these days nice one guys!
I love the new thumbnails of Back Issues!
As always absolutely loved the show guys! Keep this going forever! haha
I love this story. I didn't know they made 2 covers
Wasn’t there a tease in the previous flash issue like issue 20 where reverseflash indicated he would be looking for batman?
dude i wish i could afford these covers they look fucking awesome.
"Wait a year"...ah, back when our innocent minds believed that DC would constrain themselves to a timetable!
I like comicsexplained theory that Reverse Flash tried to run from Manhattan maybe even put the button back or he was just running somewhere safe (and he knew Batman was down and out). He only got hit with half the blast resulting in half of his body being messed up.
I think the reason why Manathan kept the button is because he realised that if Reverse Flash could trace him with it other could so he just kept it to be sure Flash or Batman or Superman don't find him
“Oooh yeah” the late great macho man
"He's got small hands" is the answer to everything
Maybe he can fit this hands into this pringle can
Is the blood coming off the button because of the big reveal in doomsday clock 2? This is how the reveal in doomsday clock 2 was revived?
Yay the return of Langoliers refrences!
So Batmam has a way to to stop Flash, but he decides that it will be cooler if he lets Reverse-Flash beat him up...
Great birthday treat Comic Pop! Love this book!
Just recently we saw The Comedian come back a shoot, I believe, Lex Luthor. So the theory is the blood being removed from The Button in the comic was Manhattan cloning/reviving The Comedian for some reason. I think...
