  • 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

      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.

  • @rorschach221
    @rorschach221 Před 6 lety +31

    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.

    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.

    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

  • @GeminiTasiri
    @GeminiTasiri Před 6 lety +5

    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.

    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!

    One thing, Marvel has done both recently for mini events and back in 2008 for main events used the actual books for big events sometimes with an alpha and omega issue. With all of the messiah and Necrosha books, Age of X being examples, as well as in smaller scale venom inc and World's collide all using the normal books to tell major parts of the story with venom inc having an alpha and omega issue and worlds collide not.

    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.

    • @ComicCrossing
      @ComicCrossing Před 6 lety

      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.

  • @davidmarriott6321
    @davidmarriott6321 Před 6 lety

    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.

    It's funny you say that Johns ghost wrote the Batman issues because I felt that when I wrote it. It read very similarly to Flashpoint to me and didn't seem in line with Tom Kings writing style.

    I see Ben's getting to be a bit of a Diva from his wardrobe change around 4 minutes in. ;-)

    Always felt it weird that Thomas Wayne didn't sign it "Dad"

    Ok I know it's been a while since this video was released, but watching it after the recent issues of Doomsday Clock, what if the blood coming off the button at then end is the moment he decided to bring back the Comedian back to life, so you were right that it went back to where it came from I guess.

    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
