  • What's up people, another analysis video today, this time, it is about why Batman means so much to some people. Not just because of how "cool" he is, but because of the themes that emit from the character that affect people in real life. If you enjoyed it, please support the video in any way you can, I try to put a lot of effort into the videos so any thing to help would mean the world to me. Have a fantastic day!

    Please let me know if I should start adding cuts into my videos to avoid less stutters and make my commentary more smooth! Or if you guys would rather have this where I talk in one take without cuts, I can do that to! Appreciate all of you 🦇

      You should definitely add cuts and edit out stutters in future videos. Really enjoyed this video and you're certainly not boring to listen to like a lot of channel like these, plus considering you only have 200 subscribers you sound very professional too, adding cuts is definitely going to improve your videos and make them that much more professional, good luck with the channel i bet your future videos just gonna keep getting better and better g!

    “Yes, Bruce Wayne is a flawed crazy person. He is at times mean stubborn or even abusive, but he is still good. He is still someone we can aspire to be. We can try our hardest to be super man but no human being can fly, but we can all try to be Batman. We can all try to turn our pain into something good.” -HiTop Films

    His endurance & sheer will is what make him a great inspiration to me. One of the only humans in a league of super-powered beings yet he can still go toe-to-toe with gods & beat them through his wits. Also RIP Kevin Conroy, he's one of the main reasons why Batman's been able to connect to so many ppl.

    I’m not a fan of DC but I always felt drawn to Batman. Compared to other comic book characters he seemed the most complex and diverse (besides the fact he wears a bat suit and growls) he spent most of his life torturing himself mentally and physically for arguably one of the best and most selfless reasons: pain. Batman never wants anyone to go through what he went through in that alley on that night. Sure, he may still be just a man at the end of the day, but a man with more grit, nuance to his story and character than people give him credit for.

    Batman was my favorite character too not because he's a total badass because of his gadgets and sidekicks or because he's the goat because he's even more important because of how his darker stories are real and messages, symbolism Batman doesn't have powers to fly like superman or run like the flash but he can inspired us to pick ourselves up and and turn our pain and trauma to something good the way that Kevin Conroy died it hits me harder than ever when I noticed the news how he passed away because he had cancer he's been fighting cancer for this whole time and now he's gone why would it to be him why Kevin Conroy this is fucking bullshit this is sick.

    I've always loved the duo of Batman and Superman because of how well they contrast with each other. One is a beacon of light and hope and one works in darkness. One wears a mask and one shows his face. One sees the best in people and one sees the worst in people. It's fantastic and I loved how the super sons kept that dynamic going(until that bogus aging of John made the age gap strange)

    So personal story time lol.
    When I was about 6 years old, I liked Batman. I watched Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, the animated series.
    One night, at that age, I was at a friend’s house for a sleepover. That night her father took us to the basement where a camera and strange men were waiting, and my life forever changed. I didn’t understand what happened and the following morning we were all instructed to act as though nothing happened. I went home depressed, defeated, violated, scared. But that night I went to my room and grabbed my Batman VHS’s. I watched Batman Mask of the Phantasm, then Batman Forever, and though things weren’t okay, they were better. I was watching someone take the most traumatizing event in their life and try to do something good with it. It didn’t change what happened, but somehow I felt a little stronger having watched those movies. Batman will forever be an important thing in my life

    Batman is no longer something I like but more like a part of me. Not a year goes by where I don't read old Batman comics or play the Arkham games. I learned to write with Batman fanfics, I learned to draw by drawing him. Batman will always be a part of my life.

    Agree with a lot. Also a huge Batman comic nerd in addition to movies, tv, video games. Although I don't think it's about escapism. It seems more like staring into a mirror and finding strength within one self, with Batman as your guide. He's who we strive to be, despite trauma, hardship, and pain. He reminds us to get back up. Always.

    Thank you for the video you did a great job and I agree with your thoughts. Batman is a flawed man with no super powers who rises above the evil and sadness in the world to help other and to keep them safe all while honouring his parents memory. This a strong and positive message that people take it to heart and are inspired by it throughout the years and that message will never grow old. Thanks again for the video and have an awesome day! 😎👍

    I always preferred Batman over the other superheroes . I once heard the difference between Supes and Batman is that Superman wants people to stand up and "do for themselves" while doing things for them while Batman just plain says "If you will not stand up who will ?" Add in his "one man with the will CAN do something to make a difference" mindset .....

Growing up, i loved batman, and i can see the same level of love for batman in you. Please, keep talking your inner thoughts and keep making videos about it, you're doing great.

    For me it's how you get to see Bruce slowly learn to become part of a family again. You see how much he's broken but at the same time dick, Barbra, Tim, and even later Damian all come back in some way to prove him wrong. To prove he isn't alone. That part is something I find incredibly touching and amazing

    I personally love that he trained to be ninja/Samurai/SOF Operator as I grew up with ninja/Samurai and military films and games. He's top 5 combatant in DC Ra's al Ghul once said that BATMAN is the greatest combatant in the world.I love that he's the WORLD'S GREATEST DETECTIVE like holmes level. I love that he is a Super genius polymath who has been able to create a cloning machine and a time machine, cured poison ivy, brought Martian manhunter back to life, recreated the Lazarus pit and created a super computer with Mr terrific called brother eye just to name a few scientific feats. He is the second smartest man behind Luthor in DC, he's also the world's greatest tactician. Later if he wanted to go to the Olympics He would crush every record by like a huge margin. He has the best rogues gallery and storylines only Spider-Man and Superman can ompare. His stories and villains so great that Arrow had to take from him in order to make their show and character even remotely interested as they could not trust his stories. Lastly he truly loves humanity.

    Bcz of tim burton, danny elfman, michael keaton, paul dini, bruce timm, shirley walker, mark hamill, and the one and only, kevin conroy. It was a proces. Burton, elfman, and keaton, gave birth to the right direction of the character's visual side, and the tas crew gave him heart. That and the arkham series (all *4* games) was obviously the peak of batman we will ever get. Batfleck, looked promising, but as we are nowadays used, instead of high hopes, we have another realistic emo clown. Since "the batman" movie i deffinetly gave up hopes to ever see anything better than the tas.
