Which Batman Character Took The Longest to Debut in Live Action?

- Batman was created all the way back in 1939 which is over 80 years ago. It only took him 4 years before he made his live action debut but other Batman characters weren't so lucky. Let's find out which Batman or Batfamily related character took the longest to appear in live action for the first time.
Rest in peace, Kevin Conroy. The only voice for Batman that I ever heard as a kid and the single most iconic voice actor for a comic book character of all time.
Wait what, when did he die
@@GalaxyOceanYT ya he died yesterday but the news came out today at around 11AM
RIP Kevin conroy, the voice of batman.
There's some bot going around pretending to be you
Thanks for letting me know, I reported them
9:08 Ah yes, my favourite Batman character, Morgan Freeman
Indeed
When Batman said "Morgan Freeman, I need your help!"... Chills, literal chills.
I loved the issue where Morgan Freeman defeated Darkseid.
Technically, the character with the longest gap is Slam Bradley. He's often a Catwoman supporting character, as well as popping up in Batman from time to time, but he was invented 2 years before Batman (he was the original star of Detective Comics).
He first appears in live action in the first season of Batwoman, with a gap of 82 years.
Hey look a scammer
It’s official. People always refer to Lucius Fox as Morgan Freeman. 😂
Scarecrow is probably the only real shocking one considering he at least now is such a major batman villain but wasn’t adapted for over six decades.
In the comics he is more of a filler villain, kinda how electro is for spider-man, a character that is way better in adaptations than in source material
Tbf he also disappeared for like 20 years in the comics too
@@Thatglasseskun To be fair, he has just been the main antagonist of a huge event this year.
@@fernandosegovia8806 yea..."this year" it took my boi crane a while 😅
@@Thatglasseskun Oh, right, it was originally published last year. I guess it must have come to my country a bit late.
I'm so proud my guy finally did something in the comics.
That wasn’t Joe Chill in 89 though, they did a weird thing where they had it be Jack Napier to connect Batman and Joker. I don’t think Chill showed up till Batman Begins. Least I thought that was the case
The other mugger that’s with Napier in the flashback is a young version of Bob, Jack’s “number one guy.
Came here to say the same thing
RIP Kevin Conroy, the definitive Batman ❤️🦇
I would love to see clay face done In proper live action. The body horror alone would make for a cool presentation for a Batman film. And then with the right creative directors we could get some really cool fight sequences
@@legostuds680 clay face could easily fit with any main boss as he would be able to be a double. Provide false-alibis etc. some villains combos I’d like to see are riddler and penguin , scarecrow and killer croc, firefly and mister freeze (idk fire and ice just seems too easy) , bane and death stroke, ivy and Harley but live action
I still think it's funny that decades later Billy Dee Williams would play the LEGO version of what was going to be his Two-Face
You should do a ranking or a top 10 of Kevin Conroy's Batman roles, it would be a nice tribute
YES 🦇❤️
Can’t believe he died
A.k.a Top 10 Batman roles of all time.
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy. The legend.🦇🙏
The guy who created Brother Eye in Arrow is Cooper Sheldon, Sheldon Cooper is the BAZINGA guy
ok that makes sense i was confused
Is that the source of the character's name then?
@@BJGvideos idk
It’s Cooper Seldon. It’s likely a nod towards Big Bang Theory.
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy thank you for everything 🦇 :(
There are 2 characters that were missed. Although, they’re just using the moniker. Azrael and Tigress debuted in Season 2 of Gotham, despite having original characters in the suits.
And even if they don't count them because they are original characters to the show, Tigress also appeared in live action on Stargirl.
You missed Jason Woodrue in Batman and Robin and Calculator in Arrow
Still though, RIP Kevin Conroy. The world has lost yet another legend. The greatest Batman there ever has been and ever will be. He will be greatly missed.
Jason Woodrue is a Swamp Thing villain I believe
Where was Jason?
@GamingAnimators the scientist that created Bane and tried to kill Poison Ivy was Woodrue
RIP Kevin Conroy 🙏
A bit of a correction: the Mad Hatter in the 66 series is NOT the original Mad Hatter. He has the same villain name, but has a hat gimmick instead of an Alice in Wonderland one and was introduced between the original Hatter's first and second appearences.
9:08 damn can't believe Morgan Freeman debuted here.
RIP KEVIN
13:50 Brother Eye debuted in 1974 and was connected to the original OMAC Buddy Blank. Also it’s Cooper Seldon not the guy from the Big Bang theory.
RIP Kevin Conroy
13:54 is a fun slip-up. Instead of Cooper Seldon, you said Sheldon Cooper-which would be an entirely different character on a different show.
Kevin Conroy you will be missed so long batman 🦇🦇🦇🦇
Birds of Prey TV series, I believe, was also the live action debut of a "Black Canary". Also, in the Batman & Robin movie, another sorta Batman related character briefly debuted, in live action, Jason Woodrue aka the Floronic Man.
21:55 the real Black Mask did have a small cameo in season 5 episode 5 of Gotham, as he is brought in the GCPD by the military in the background
Luuk Hoekman BRO WHAT REALLY?
Scarecrow was technically in Batman and Robin and was played by Coolio but it was a very brief cameo. Also Huntress was in the birds of prey show for the first time in 2002. Great video though very entertaining and very informative!
Where was he?
Huntress in Birds of Prey (series) was a version of Helena Wayne who debuted in that superpowers show thing he mentioned. Helena Bertinelli, the daughter of the Mob first appears in Arrow.
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy
Enigma WAS the Riddler’s daughter on Batwoman. They literally say it in the show. 😂
R.I.P Kevin Conroy 🕊🕊🕊😔😔😔
"I am vengeance! I am the night! I am BATMAN!"
(Theme song plays )
Yes, do this for Superman characters
Such a cool concept for a video! Scarecrow is my favorite villain and I'm oddly proud that he was in the top 5 longest, though maybe that's not a good thing since it means he was ignored for so many years? Idk. I'd love to see more of this concept, like for Spider-Man or X-Men characters!
Brother eye first appeared in the early seventies in a comic called "OMAC the one man army corps" and was not at that time said to have a connection to Batman.
I would love to see this with other characters! Very interesting stuff
This just goes to show how limited the live-action Batman movies have been in the last couple decades. So many great characters that have never been touched because the filmmakers want to stay "grounded and gritty" and only ever want to take inspiration from the same three or four Frank Miller/Jeph Loeb books.
What gets me is that Nolan said Penguin was too unrealistic for his movies. Penguin is just a mob boss with a deformity and he trains birds. Nothing unrealistic there.
I would have made the same distinction for Clock King that you did for Deathstroke. Despite the same name, they weren’t adaptations of the same character. The original Basil Karlo also wasn’t superhuman at all, so there’s no discrepancy there.
RIP kevin conroy we will miss you :(
I can't believe he's gone! I'm extraordinarily grateful to have actually met him back in 2018.
@@jturner2577 i unfortunately never got a chance to meet him
we've lost another Legend
@@marlonclark1896 indeed which is the last i wanted :(
Please do this for other Heroes! 🙏🏾
Superman, Teen Titans, Flash, Spider-Man, X-MEN are all characters/teams that I feel like they have enough characters for a nice list.
I'd love to see a list for entire DC and a second list for entire Marvel, but this could take.. a while
13:53 An original character named WHAT?!?!
BAZINGA?!?!?
I know it didn't last very long, but the series Powerless debuted Vanderveer "Van" Wayne, played by Alan Tudyk, 55 years (1962-2017) after his first appearance in Batman #148. I don't think any other characters appeared. They were mostly only talked about.
I would love to see more of these. This was so cool!
Both Alfred and the Barbara Gordon Batgirl were created for live-action, but debuted in the comics shortly beforehand. That’s why they appear only three months and eight months after, Alfred having probably the shortest comics-to-live-action gap of all time.
RIP Kevin conroy 😢😢
I'm pretty sure joe chill 1st appeared in batman begins because it was Jack Napier aka joker in batman 89
You really need to get a mic stabilizer to prevent those mic tapping sounds. Also, it couldn't hurt to do a second pass and get the script right. Other than that, grest video and research!
Basil Karlo (until recent continuity) never had the clay powers, he was simply a method actor turned serial killer who would use his acting ability to disguise himself
More of this kind of videos would be interesting
I like the idea that Morgan Freeman is a Batman villain
George Saunders, not "Greg". Oscar-winning actor of films like "Rebecca" and "All About Eve".
R.i.p the goat kevin conroy
Sarah Essen was an important character way beyond "Year One": she became Jim Gordon's second wife and as a member of GCPD - and Commissioner at one point - appeared in various Batman comic books until her death at the hands of the Joker in 2000.
You mist Bridgit Pike who primer in 2011 in the comic and in live action in Gotham in 2018.
I may have missed it, and it’s not like it’s that important, but you forgot music Meister, and since he first appears in Batman the brave and the bold, I would count him as a Batman villain.
But this video is for live action debuts, but just tv/movie debuts, so Vrave and the Bold doesn't count.
@@aidensteacorner yes, but I meant, he first appeared in btbatb, and then later appeared in live action.
9:08 Morgan Freeman as Morgan Freeman
You forgot Daggett from The Dark Knight Rises played by Ben Mendolson. Daggett debuted in Batman TAS
You should make another video like this but for animated content like the cartoons and movies
"felicitys ex boyfriend named sheldon cooper" pardon?
"Beneard Fitzmartin" could be a reference to current Tim Drake writer Megan Fitzmartin since she did kind of bring Bernard back to relevancy recently. Why they changed it I don't know, but that could be why the name "Fitzmartin" was chosen.
Now with Batman the Brave and the Bold we can offically say every single major Batfamily member has appeared in Live Action with the Live Action debut of Daimen Wayne aka Robin
The Mad Hatter in the 60s show is based on the Impostor Mad Hatter who debuted in 1956.
Technically the first Nightwing appearance was 1997 in Batman and Robin
Was he still going by Robin through out the entire film? I don’t recall ever hearing anyone call him “Nightwing” in that movie.
He was going by Robin but when he got the black and red Nightwing suit he literally said he was thinking of going by Nightwing

That's not Basil Karlo, that's False-Face who was actually in the comics just once, so Karlo's first appearance would in Gotham.
I don't think you can count False-Face as Basil Karlo in the 66 series. I know the producers said he was supposed to be Karlo but he was never called that in the show itself. It wasn't canonically revealed that he was Basil Karlo until the tie in comics in 2013.
In the actual show he was just 'False-Face', who WAS a charactet from the comics, having debuted in 1958, 8 years prior to the show.
And Enigma DID go by Riddler's Daughter in the comics. It was what she went by when she was on the Teen Titans during the missing year after crisis. Though she's only a cameo she does get referred to by Riddler's Daughter.
Not complaints, love you went into detail but I feel like False Face is accurate to the Golden Age Clayface and Mr. Freeze in the 60s show was supposed to be Mr. Zero. Since they didn't change his name to victor fries til later, it's not fair to call it inaccurate. Same with False Face. Also deathstroke and deadshot aren't batman villains still glad you included them, like I said none of these are complaints. Unless you're saying the changes were made and only going off comic accuracy no matter what comic. 1:22 I mean unless you count Batman and Robin movie which is called Robin still I guess so fine. Edit: wrong about deaadhsot
@@legostuds680 oh yeah i forgot he had a totally different appearance. My apologies.
@@legostuds680 In superman american alien 3 it seems they're retconning deathstroke to be a batman villain. It's a really great story
I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but I think you missed Aunt Harriet. Comics 1964 television show 1966.
Huh I thought she was made up for the show
Thank you for this! It’s also a great video to help me remember by covers if I even had any of these characters’ debuts. I’d love to see more videos from across the DCU.
Excuse me, but False Face is a different character from Clay Face, False Face first appears in Batman Issue 113, and don't forget Aunt Harriet who first appeared in Detective Comics Issue 328
Ah yes, my favorite comic character. Morgan Freeman
Your slip up made me die of laughter 😂😂😂
We deserve a live action film or show about the whole bat family and dedicate the show or film to the legendary and late Kevin Conroy.
Very Cool video! RIP Kevin Conroy😢
Sarah Essen came back in the comics. She married Gordon in 90's and was prominent in the No Man's Land storyline.
Actually, Brother Eye originally appeared in Jack Kirby's OMAC, in the 70's.
Isn't Huntress from Birds of Prey 2002 a Batman character technically since it's a version of Helena Wayne?
Helena Wayne had already debuted though
you forgot Jason Woodrue /Floronic Man / Plant Master / Floro / Seeder in Batman & Robin
Idk if you count characters who have first appeared from the Animated series, but there was a live action debut of one.
The character of Dagget, the guy who turned Clayface into Claymore in the Animated Series, appears in The Dark Knight Rises.
Joe Chill was never in Tim Burton's Batman.
My favorite Batman character, Morgan Freeman.
This was a very cool vid since im kinda avarage when it comes to comic books...thou dumb question do you plan on doing this but with animated adaptations..i know it would be redundant since no one cares about the dc cartoons but most of my knowledge of dc came from justice league and justice leauge unlimited witch got my into batman the animated series which has a few charcters that havent been fully adapted in live action...idk i just think it'd be neat.
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy legend
Joe chill didn't actually appear in Batman 89 as far as I'm aware because Jack Napier (Joker) killed his parents in that movie
Yeah, do Superman next and make this a series
New favorite channel. Keep it up man, love ur stuff
They should've just called Cassandra "Harper Row" in BoP
17:25 I assume they changed it because it sounded kinda similar to "Albert Wesker", one of the antagonists from Resident Evil.
There's one way to overthrow Tony Zucco as the longest comic-to-live-action gap, and that is a live-action debut of The Mad Monk (1939, MORE THAN 84 YEARS)
I hope one of these days we get a REAL Cassandra Cain in the movies
Solomon Grundy first debuted in challenge of the Superfriends animated series in 1978.
Superman would be nice
Do one with Superman mythos pls.
THE 1ST appearance of batmans origin was in the 1985 episode of super powers team:the galactic Guardians in the episode fear- batman 89 was the 1st appearance of it in live action. And the clock king and mad hatter being brothers in batman 66 was never shown in the show was reconned in the 66 comic series and also Batman and robin was also the live action debut of floronic man-dr. jason woodrue an Atom, batman and swamp thing character he first appeared in 1962, a pretty important character as he has links to the origins of many plant based villains and heros.
Brother Eye is actually from the Jack Kirby title OMAC from 1974
I think Killer Moth was supposed to be in the Batgirl movie that WB canned
Exceptional work great job
Yeah, not to be a nit picker but you missed one my guy. Dr Woodroe, aka Floronic Man, was the scientist who made Bane and Posion Ivy in Batman & Robin
“Much beloved tv show” lol
Can’t believe Kevin conroy died
Ok, so small little thing, The Batman (2022) actually DID debut new comics characters, but it was a blink and you miss it cameo, one that I'm not even 100% sure on. So, Penguin had two goons guarding the Iceberg Lounge who were twins, which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be a loose adaptation of the Trigger Twins, 2 characters who have appeared in very minor roles in the comics. I could be wrong tho.
still waiting for the batman who laughs to be adapted into movie form
This is such a cool and original video idea
13:54 So Sheldon Cooper created Brother Eye. Bazinga.
