- This video dives into the lore of Matatoa, a formidable character who appeared in Batman Gotham Knights, issue 16 in June 2001. With no known real name, Matatoa, meaning "Fearless" in Maori, is depicted as a New Zealander with distinct Maori tattoos that glow green, hinting at his metahuman superpower of functional immortality. Due to a mysterious voice in his head, Matatoa believes he must consume souls to maintain his immortal life; A quest that leads him to Gotham City in pursuit of Batman, whom he views as an undefeated warrior whose soul could grant him considerable attributes. The story narrates Matatoa's confrontation with Batman and Nightwing, his temporary confinement in Arkham Asylum, his escape from the institution, and the climactic battle that ends with Matatoa's plunge from a crane high above Gotham's streets, paradoxically affirming his own prophesy as he survives. The video concludes by pondering Matatoa's future in the DC universe and offers a rating for his impact, thus far. Overall, this narrative explores themes of immortality, cultural identity, and the moral complexities of vigilantism.

Is it pronounced "myoreee" or "mowree"? Just don't want to be disrespectful if I happen to meet someone from this culture.
@@josephwhitaker9365 Neither. You roll the r. So without being disrespectful, it's pronounced "moldy" as in the fungus. I'm sure @@pirimoretukariri-hn5yb can confirm.
@@user-nd8rt2uu3c ty for the clarification
Awesome video Sage, highlighting this obscure and interesting villain from New Zealand. With respect to the creator, in my humble opinion, this character could have been more unique and have more longevity if he were indigenous Māori Polynesian from New Zealand.
😎👊🏽 Thanks again, bro! And yeah... That would be an interesting spin on this guy! 👍🏼
Squad up! Thanks for the introduction because I’d never heard of the guy. It’s always fun to learn new deep cuts.

Wack fact: i never get the rathings right. Im always one off 😂
I have a feeling that they (DC comic writers) are gearing this character up to make he a beloved anti-hero like the Punisher or a character along the same lines; to me I will be on the look out to see what they may do with this character. My brother keep bringing the greatness I mean it this was a fantastic intro to this character, like always my prayers are to the true and living GOD blessings to be upon you and all of our family in CHRIST for ever more and may all of our dreams, desires and needs be met and manifest in the name of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT. Stay frosty as always my brother cause you know they don't get cooler than you
It WOULD be interesting if they made gim into a Punisher-esque anti-hero! 😎👍🏼 As always, I appreciate you, my brother! May the LORD bless you in the upcoming week. Stay 😎 🧊

What's Matatoa like compared to Vandal Savage with being Immortal?
Matatoa claims that he'll, actually, lose his immortality if he doesn't consume other people's essence. But Vandal has true immortality. 🤓👍🏼
Can somebody please explain to me why there isn’t a bunch of heroes trying to hunt the sky down?
😅👍🏼 I know, right?!
If Nightwing beat him before he tried to off himself then he would not be killing and unbeaten Warrior. ijs
