Watching The Batman in cinemas the other day (no spoilers), I couldn't help but smiles at all the small details from this book, that clearly inspired the new movie - like Martha being an Arkham, Batman messing up sometimes etc. A solid mix of Earth One and Zero Year, I think.
Geoff Johns has a special place in my heart. He got me into comics with his Green Lantern run. He also turned Booster Gold into the amazing character he is now. Although nobody seems to know what to do with Booster sadly...
Geoff Johns is a great writer along with Grant Morrison who's run on Justice League got me into liking Justice League a lot. Also I have to admit Knightfall still remains a special place in my heart. It was the first story I ever read when I was a kid. Imagine a ten year old who never has read a batman comic and use to seeing him on Animated Series on fox. The first issue he reads is where Bane breaks his back. Welcome to comics kid.
Yea. “Microwave Emitter” and nuclear reactor time bomb anyone? Also the fact that Dark Knight is just Michael Man’s Heat with Batman characters is just a little silly. A little.
Tiffany's reaction at 40:08 was priceless. Not to mention her reaction to the notion of a "rape room". I laughed so hard at this whole episode. Great job and thank you Tiffany for bringing smiles to my face.
Don't let me be the guy to tell ComicPOP how to do things, but where I come from, you go for the most experienced person in the room and you pop him right in the face. Yeah, yeah I punched Grandpa in the face. Whatcha gonna do about it? I'M THE GOD DAMN BATMAN!
Somehow, no idea how... I KNEW that Penguin would be the mayor. Weirdest thing, just idly thinking that Penguin was the mayor and Sal says, "Mayor Cobblepot".
2:37-2:45 is what played through my mind when i first saw Battinson and I AM HERE FOR IT. Coming back to rewatch this (for the fifth or sixth time) before “The Batman” drops in 2 days….as it gives MAJOR Earth One vibes. SO glad they’re pulling from a pretty good series (even if it only has 3 volumes for Batman) and I hope, if they do a Superman in this universe, they use J. Michael Straczynski’s take as the template. As always, thank you ComicPop for just always being great
Earth One Volume 2 is one of my favourite Batman stories of all time. It's like Nolan, it's fresh, and entertaining as hell. In short, PLEASE DO VOL 2.
This kinda reminded me of Kickass; (semi)realistic take on superheroes/vigilantes where the protagonist is still finding his footing and there's some luck involved when it comes to taking out the enemy
This is one of my favorite episodes you guys have done. Not only are you guys having fun, but you also make the book seem really good. Can't wait to pick it up!
Birthday boy seemed like such an odd choice for the serial killer in this. Would've preferred someone a little less hulking beasty, like Zsaz or someone. Overall though, we really dug the new take on the character, and some of the really inspired elements like kick ass Alfred and "experiencing technical difficulties" Batman. Plus, Gary Frank on artwork is more than enough to give it a buy, even if Johns wrote it with his feet.
ComicPOP! Gordon: "You will remember me! I'm not afraid anymore! Because i'm the god damn Commissioner Man!" This book sounds awesome. Good vid guys. Although sometimes I suspect Sal has too much power because his story telling abilities are so strong, he can convince anyone of the quality (or lack thereof) of any comic. That's his superpower. He's the god damn Storytelling Man! lol
ComicPOP! No problem. Just curious though, you think you guys will be doing a review on the new Spawn comics? I know Spawn has been played out for many years now. And I know you guys already did a lengthy review on Spawn comics in general. Just wanted to get your overall impressions of the new "reboot" of sorts? Thanks.
I love you guys and Back Issues in particular, but this was the best/most funny episode since the epic two-part Spawn take down! Great work. Earth One was a fun romp.
Interesting take. I like the idea of "Batman if Batman weren't sacred". Obviously, I think we all prefer our Batman of the "goddamn" variety, but it's nice to make believe. :) In other news, I'm hoping to sell some old 360 games to make the scratch for Arkham Knight, that'd be one hell of an Off The Rack episode though.
There is actually a reference to Batman in Superman Earth One Volume 1, or 2. I can't remember which one. But at the end when it shows the newspaper, one of the article titles is "Batman terrorizes Gotham's residences!" Or something like that. And in a recent interview with Michael J Strazinski, he hinted at an Earth 1 Trinity Crossover in the works.
Buy Batman: Earth One volume 1! amzn.to/3AWlWn2
Damn an updated link 7 years later lol

Also some of long halloween.
And Year One and a hint of Ego
I read Earth-One after watching the film and I had a stupid grin when Batman told Oz “I’m Vengance!”
His first time gliding comes to mind.
My thoughts exactly! And Todd Phillip's Joker would fit perfect in this Earth One universe
I love that when Sal described Barbara Gordon, he just described Tiffany.
I was thinking the exact same thing when it showed Barbara's picture lol
Earth-1 Batman is the greatest hero in the world.
21:03 *THE GREATEST*
21:32 *HERO*
28:16 *IN*
29:17 *THE WORLD*
23:33, 30:00, 30:35
The hero the city doesn't need but deserves.
“This will not be a movie; it’s too dark”- *Matt Reeves has entered the chat*

Who else’s been going back to rewatch these after Vol 3 was dropped?
@@vicpardo894same, it's classic back issue now
@@batgirl697 absolutely
The whole video Sal is positive and enjoying himself.
But in the last 2 minutes "Fuck Bane, who likes Bane, he's crappy."
Aww.
Geoff Johns has a special place in my heart. He got me into comics with his Green Lantern run. He also turned Booster Gold into the amazing character he is now. Although nobody seems to know what to do with Booster sadly...
Hey me too! Great to see another johns recruit.
I know exactly what to do give him a book with blue beetle and have them go through radical time adventures
Geoff Johns is a great writer along with Grant Morrison who's run on Justice League got me into liking Justice League a lot. Also I have to admit Knightfall still remains a special place in my heart.

Hmmm... sleep, or Back Issues? That's a difficult question.... let me just click play while I ponder it...
Decisions, decisions, decisions.... (clicks on another Back Issues video)
I feel that they actually went even more realistic with this than the Christopher Nolan films
Can't argue there. As much as I love the Nolan trilogy, it can get a little unrealistic.
i wish this comic continued
Yea. “Microwave Emitter” and nuclear reactor time bomb anyone?
Also the fact that Dark Knight is just Michael Man’s Heat with Batman characters is just a little silly. A little.
44:09 Wow, Sal! Way to bury the lead!
Tiffany's reaction at 40:08 was priceless. Not to mention her reaction to the notion of a "rape room". I laughed so hard at this whole episode. Great job and thank you Tiffany for bringing smiles to my face.

Jeff Batista 😂😂😂
We got him boys
we know the true identity of Batman it’s Jeff
I guess Birthday Boy couldn't have his cake and eat it too.

ComicPOP! with the nice assist!
I come back here after seeing the batman.
Somehow, no idea how... I KNEW that Penguin would be the mayor. Weirdest thing, just idly thinking that Penguin was the mayor and Sal says, "Mayor Cobblepot".

16:53 well people, it's been confirmed. tiffany is frank miller in disguise
15:46, that look Sal did looked EXACTLY like the "dancing man" that got fat shamed for dancing. lol
Sal's impression of Gordon at the end reminds me of the one from Gotham
That lighter interrogation gag literally made me laugh like the Joker.
who needs sleep when you can watch the latest back issues???
#same
Ellis Potter back issues makes waterboarding bearable.
Back issues make everything bearable Ellis Potter Ellis Potter
Thomas Wayne stole the #1 Dad lighter from Ultron 8, obviously.
Ben and Tiffany’s righteous indignation at Gordon being on the take made me laugh so hard.
28:42
My name is Johnny Knoxville and this is the Batman
This kinda reminded me of Kickass; (semi)realistic take on superheroes/vigilantes where the protagonist is still finding his footing and there's some luck involved when it comes to taking out the enemy
Vesko Hristov the difference is that batman year one is actually good
This is one of my favorite episodes you guys have done. Not only are you guys having fun, but you also make the book seem really good. Can't wait to pick it up!
I love Batman Earth One. I especially enjoy the Harvey Bullock/Jim Gordon dynamic and how weird it is.
This totally convinced me to finally buy this book at the university bookshop earlier before going to my class.. thanks guys!!
no studio would make it huh , oh sal if only you knew what kind of batman movie we were getting which was inspired by this as well
That's awesome how Alfred just blew Cobblepot away, classic.
Birthday boy seemed like such an odd choice for the serial killer in this. Would've preferred someone a little less hulking beasty, like Zsaz or someone. Overall though, we really dug the new take on the character, and some of the really inspired elements like kick ass Alfred and "experiencing technical difficulties" Batman.

Ben & Tiff make some adorable reaction faces in this episode!
I love that we are getting to see tiff more !
Definitely do vol2! I'd love to see it!
I'm still waiting for Flash earth one and Aquaman earth one to come out
And you still are xD
@@N94able HEY! I'm also here (for Batman vol 3) and still waiting
16:15 axe looks exactly like Grant Morrison
ComicPOP! Gordon: "You will remember me! I'm not afraid anymore! Because i'm the god damn Commissioner Man!"
This book sounds awesome. Good vid guys. Although sometimes I suspect Sal has too much power because his story telling abilities are so strong, he can convince anyone of the quality (or lack thereof) of any comic. That's his superpower. He's the god damn Storytelling Man! lol
I love the batman beyond shirt on
49:22 who’s here after seeing The Batman?
Yup! You can really tell this was a strong inspiration for the movie. What a great movie btw!
Coming back during The Penguin
This was the funniest episode I've seen in a long time. You all are great, but Sal was fucking on point!
This is a great review. I actually bought this book(after watching this ep)my last comic shop visit. Loved it. "The cake doesn't come into play!" lol
There are still 2 weeks before Arkham Knight comes out, Sal!
Nicolae Alexandru Whoops! Thought it was this week for some reason.
I will never hold a lighter ever again in my life......
Also because i will never smoke
But also because of Batman.
I like how much Sal complains in this but then will go on to recommend this book to everyone
This sounds like most of the plot of the Gotham TV show. Also great info withholding of the Penguin being mayor til the end.
please, volume 2 is AWESOME.
lol its the introduction of the Birthday Boy! The creature that continues to haunt Ben till this day!
How do you guys not have more subscribers? This channel is fucking awesome!
Thanks, UV!
ComicPOP! No problem. Just curious though, you think you guys will be doing a review on the new Spawn comics? I know Spawn has been played out for many years now. And I know you guys already did a lengthy review on Spawn comics in general. Just wanted to get your overall impressions of the new "reboot" of sorts? Thanks.
Let this be lesson to you Batman. Never go after.....the smoker!
Geoff Johns' Batman Earth One made the big time 😎😎😎
I always wanted DC to do something like ultimate so definitely gotta get these books
This is my favorite back issues
I really hope they continue this, its so much better then Superman Earth one. Still haven't read volume 2 but thats going to change by tomorrow!
This is the funniest back issues episode ever, literally have me in creases here guys! 😂
BATMAN EARTH ONE Vol. 2 please. and thank you.
I think this May be the best back issues yet
Yes vol 2 please
Love the speed reference you snuck in haha
I love you guys and Back Issues in particular, but this was the best/most funny episode since the epic two-part Spawn take down! Great work. Earth One was a fun romp.
Who else thinks Tiffany is B-E-A-UTIFUL
She's gorgeous
Meh.
+Stefan Kovacevic i'm pretty sure she's with Sal.
She's cute. Know's about comics and video games. I would date her.
It's impressive how much this comic resembles the new Batman movie. Even the costume looks a lot like this one.
Yeah doing Volume 2 would be a lot of fun I'm sure!
Sal please do vol.2 this was AWESOME
I Love how Sal has this dislike for the Story but when he explains the Comic both of them are like "Wow this is Great."
I'm here after watching Batman Earth One Vol. 3
Just bought Vol 1. and Vol 2. Vol 1. was a great read! Keep up the good work!
Interesting take. I like the idea of "Batman if Batman weren't sacred". Obviously, I think we all prefer our Batman of the "goddamn" variety, but it's nice to make believe. :) In other news, I'm hoping to sell some old 360 games to make the scratch for Arkham Knight, that'd be one hell of an Off The Rack episode though.
Batman Earth One Vol. 2! Make it happen!
This was cool. I can't wait till you guys do vol. 2.
(Inner monologue) "C'mon, you are just on your 5th video today, keep going"
like how the batman earth one book was displayed in other videos throughout the week. hope this is more than 3 trades like superman earth one.
I like seeing batmans eyes
ben looks like james franco
Deathstroke likes to see batmans eyes there has got to be fanfictions of those two.
Jack O Brien whoa whoa back up buddy I just need to see the whites of my victims eyes before I attack
deathstroke the terminator There's still probably fanfics though sorry
Most people don’t
funniest episode yet, good job
Thank you job that doesn't have me work until 2 in the afternoon so I can watch Back Issues.
Huge jerk fail Batman is the best Batman
And a major yes vote for Vol 2, this was one of my fav episodes. A not Marty Stu Batman is awesome.
So.... definitely not Miller then ?
Favorite video and the second one was great as well best videos on this channel that always does great work.
"But you basically own me"
Alfred Woodhouse Pennyworth
The Earth One series is awesome. Would love to see more.
Would you ever do Alan Moore's Swamp Thing? I bet you could make an interesting video about that
this is amazing. lots of laughs, thank you guys! I'll pick this one
Vol.2 sounds great
No knock on Bolland but Frank’s work is much crisper.
Who?
Definitely want volume 2 this is a awesome story
Please do vol. 2 because this is awesome !
I read anything from Mr.Jones. He tells good stories and he is from Detroit.
I think I read this when I was, like, 12 because my library didn't have a clue. They just thought comic-books equal for children.
Whoops!
I'd like to see Volume 2! :D
Jacky Lor I second that
Sometimes I just stop the video and go grab the comic
Who is here after watch The Batman (2022)?
Vol 2 !!!
Every time I read this book I love it even more
There is actually a reference to Batman in Superman Earth One Volume 1, or 2. I can't remember which one. But at the end when it shows the newspaper, one of the article titles is "Batman terrorizes Gotham's residences!" Or something like that. And in a recent interview with Michael J Strazinski, he hinted at an Earth 1 Trinity Crossover in the works.
You Gotta Do Volume 2!! I Enjoyed Volume 2 A Lot More Than The 1st, Probably Cos It Had A Lot Less Batfails And A Ton Of Reveals
Yes please vol. 2
Tiffany, you say the car Mrs. Gordon was driving was a Lex Corp. car? I could have sworn it was a LEXus! (Bu-dum Tish!)
I love Tiffany’s shirt
love this episode thank you guys.
I read volume two, and I loved it, please do a back issues for volume two.
