#Batman #Joker #DC - Zábava
This is why we need to appreciate comics more. Look at the details in the art and the story it all blends together so nicely.
Those are the rare ones. Most of western comics now is convuluted, cheesy and she ridden garbage. O d why comics are dying and manga is getting more popular in the west.
Sadly it's mostly sjw bullshit or virtue signaling. Makes it hard to read.
Prasun Kumar “she ridden garbage” is going to be my go to from now on, thnx😊
I’d argue differently. The art is definitely nice, but the story is muttled and taken pieces of other stories thrown together.
only for certain comics just like what happens in manga, anime, movies, games, and every fucking thing in life
This ending sounded like a movie. Wouldn’t surprise me if they make an animated movie of this in a few years.
I really hope they do, though I also want Endgame, Death of the Family, etc. Perhaps for their new Animated movie universe presumably based on Rebirth. 👌
Who should voice them in the animated adaptation?
Directed by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini
They also make DCeased unkillables movie
It would make me so SOO FUCKING happy
Such a brilliant story arc, but I'm still going to miss Alfred... he was and always will be one of Batman's most iconic allies and the greatest fictional Butler ever created. The Batfamily won't be the same without him. RIP Alfred Pennyworth
Give it a year. He'll probably be back.
Dude that joker was across a line I'm stunted Batman just didn't kill him .
Chris it’s more than that, Alfred was the mother of the bat family, he took care of everyone and kept batman (the father of the family) in check. Not saying they’re gay or nothen it was just alfreds role in the family
@@Fluffy_production more so the grandpa, imo, batmans defacto father and then the one to be able to check bruce while caring for everyone
Thor lost his hammer, his name and his very arm.
Thor has his hammer, his name and his very arm.
Comics always find a way to revert.
“Batman wins the Fight but the Joker wins the Argument” -Common Trend
and proves joker is sane enough to not want to die
Yeah, that's annoying
@@gaignunleingod4143 Well he is Super sane after all. He know's the readers won't be able to see him beat on batman if he dies.
I kinda sick of the whole Joker gets away bs, that my main problem with comics is that characters never stay dead
@@the_belugaluga5286 i agree with u- i hate that they didnt finaley killed the joker, i thought the all point of three jokers and joker war is to kill the joker ones and for all and that if he ever comes back it will be with time travel or from a diferent univers
The Joker Wins? I have a feeling this is a huge joke...
Good one
Good one man 👍. But we all know joker always loses in the end. (Sometimes)
Well, the Dark Knight movie did implied that Joker won by having Batman to break his rule: no killing.
The joker's goal is rarely to kill batman. Most the time he wants to get away with doing something that'll get him alot of attention. This is why I like the harley quinn animated series Joker, he is all about getting attention and credit for villainous plans.
We all know joker kinda likes batman
That panel where Joker and Bats are just staring at each other is epic and funny at the same time. Like "This is really happening huh?"
Lol
Harley worried about health insurance had me dying lol
Batman: Finally...its over
Ghostmaker: *NICE PLACE BRUCEY*
Batman: D:
You just described all comic runs as a whole.
Ghostmaker = Oh hey Moonknight
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Variant posts.
I give a view.
Same
aw man conditioner Gordon, you could've said, me too
Spicy
BUHREAHS WHERHNNNNNNNNN
I'm Batman
Batman be like “I’m not going to kill you, but I’’m not going to save you”
What an amazing quote.
I won't kill you but i don't have to save you, love that quote.
Batman basically told joker how to save himself before he went for harley.
The Inquisitor, I always think of that quote.
Kinda like how obi-wan turned his back on anakin
ComicExplained: ALL IT TOOK WAS A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY AND YOU LOST YOUR ENTIRE CITY.
The money is what founded the city. It was what the city thrived for , it is what controls the city
@@constantine3934 Cash is King
it wasnt a litel bit of money- it was at list bilions
@@GeekNewz
Bruce Wayne: How much money did the Joker spend.
Catwoman: A few a Billions
Bruce Wayne: Oh so just A Little Bit.
Can we all appreciate how good Jorge Jiménez is at draw those panels ?
The art and the colors are what elevated the story to next level, IMO.
" how about i throw YOU in the ace chemical, and YOU can be the new Joker?" the dialogue in this issue is insane
I was never a fan of the Joker being portrayed as this perfect force of nature who is on par with Batman in every way (or could kill him easily if he wanted to) and even when he loses, he still wins somehow.
“ I wish I’d be aquamans butler instead “ OMG my new favourite quote
I really want to them to give joker a rest, l mean he is fascinating, but the other villains needs more spot light. Preferably Freeze, Scare Crow, Penguin, Riddler, and Black Mask. ESPECIALLY Freeze and Scare Crow, I find those two very fascinating.
Francisco Leyva Martin why not
Scarecrow already shined in Arkham Knight though lol. Riddler already has his story and Penguin is always the same story. Same with Freeze.
I like them designing new villains and giving us a different arc than what we're used to in Batman stories
I'm with you the more joker does joker things the more incompetent batman looks. Plus other then being crazy joker don't have that much substance. Let's use the better villains instead of this overused clown.
I understand batman not killing joker ....but how can even government not hang him until now.....what kind of law is this that they either vanishes joker somewhere...or gets captured and kept in prison only to create bigger mayhem next time.....I understand he's an iconic character so writers can't just kill him......but due to this we never get a deserving payoff....no matter how much mess he creates.....it doesn't carry any weight now....cause in the end we know he's gonna get away with it.....I really hoped harley killed him this time it would have been great conclusion.
He just lost an eye thanks to harley.
I like argueing with people like you
Because, Joker is crazy and theblaw says we can't kill him for it. It suck when the law is the dame for everybody. Why no cop has ever put a bullet in Joker is a better question.
@@22espec I can 100% assure you that if the Joker exists and he commits all these crimes in real life, all laws would have been changed in a week to make execution legal for mass murderers like Joker, and public opinion would side with this legal change.
@@22espec actually Matpat proved that Joker is not crazy according to the US law at least and he would be deemed to punishment he is simply in Arkham coz....comics XD
Batman: *walks away*
Joker: *stares in Whitney Houston* DON'T WALK AWAY FROM MEEEE
I hear it so damn clearlyy
I love how Harley has self autonomy in this storyline. She knows how dangerous Joker is to the world because she experienced it first hand. She knows the only way to stop him is to kill him. There is no reforming Joker. Now is she doing this out of her personal hate for the Joker or because she genuinely cares about the people around her? We'll never know, maybe it's a little bit of both.
But still she's crazy enough to make Batman chose between the 2 of them. But she isn't smart enough to foresee that Batman will have a way out of her plan and Joker also has his tricks to foil her plan.
I think she doesn't act crazy much now. And that is why I think it's a departure from the character and don't like it
@@purplespark8 strapping a bomb to herself and proceeding to force Batman to choose between her and the betterment of society or saving an unreformable mass murderer isn't crazy enough for you?
@@peteartieda58 Hahaha 😂
it wasn't just a good Joker story, it was a great set up story. We have villains set up for the next ten months! Ghostmaker, Clownhunter, Ivy, Bane and Punchline's storylines are all wide open and soooo juicy.
Joker always wanted to be killed. killed by his best friend batman he always wanted break his moral.
This is why we need to appreciate comics more
Even if Batman can't get that utopian bat suit, that camera quality do be extra crispy
That’s some high quality comic content right there 👌🏼🔥 the reason why I subbed in the first place
There’s no way Joker won......
I thought Oracle’s base was the Clocktower Headquarters. I thought correctly.
I am so happy Barbra Gordon is back as oracle which makes me so happy.
I won't lie, the title "Joker Wins" made me think Batman was gonna kill Joker. Not let him die. But like straight up Kill Joker.
Also... Where the hell is Damian?
My best bet, he's with the Teen Titans.
He appears when nightwing calls the batfamily to fight punchline and the grunts at 5:29. Also, I'm new to comics who's that guy in yellow there?
@@Kionum I thought that robin was Tim and the yellow guy is signal, real name duke
@@Kionum Duke Thomas, he was the leader of a army of Robins in a story called "Robin War" in the New 52.
TT
When joker and Bruce just stared at eachother that gave me chills
Comedian Joker: I am your greatest pain 😀 ME! 🤬😡😠
Not goona lie... I'm wondering how the wayne family and wayne enterprise gonna be back as a savior of Gotham and really want to see how bruce take care of him self like how alfred is dead
We get it Batman, you have your moral code. But damn, even Harley Quinn herself wanted the Joker dead.
Harley Quinn !
Right? Like what's the point of him trying to either keep him alive or take him to prison when he always escapes and cause chaos? I'm to the point where if batsy don't kill him then batman gotta die. . . It's that serious
Yea it this point I’m getting pissed off with Batman. If you couldn’t let joker die in that moment, how much of a hero are you really? You know that he is just going to keep causing death and destruction. At what point are you responsible for it when you have the ability to stop it
@@Sugahpappaya those rules don't apply to comics. First, joker can't be killed, that's putting off the most profitable villain out. Then, Batman can't kill with the excuse "they'll keep escaping and causing trouble" because with that logic, all his villains and rogue gallery need to be killed. In comics logic, all villains eventually either escape and come back to do trouble once again, or become antiheroes.
@@Sugahpappaya- he always considers himself responsible on what happens but he still doesn’t break. The moment that rule is broken by his hands it’s over for all villains to heroes that try to stop him.
You'd think Bruces cemetary would have some security around it, so bodies couldn't kept on getting dug up
The quality of the actual video is so much better now, not doing it was bad before. The frame rate is higher, the colours seem brighter and it looks there is more dynamic range.
I love the look of the Ghost Maker, badass!!
I love that shiny suit. I wish we got an elseworlds story with him having saved Gotham, and the story could be like the show friends. Just seeing everyone and all of the batfamily interact. It would be awesome
5:05... coolest...panels...ever
btw I’m talking about the panels after this and these panels with the bat family
I've been waiting for this all week. U never disappoint Variant.
I loved that image of the final staredown between Batman and Joker at the end, the expressions are beautifully drawn, just feels like so much is said in that stare
Love it!! Thanks for all the content. You the man
I wish the Designer was still alive, he seemed cool and looked like he can be a threat to batman.
Meh, I honestly was quite disappointed by this conclusion
The new batsuit that was so heavily alluded to amounted to literally nothing, it is supposed to be next gen but the cowl still shatters from a punch? (even if it is a batman punch)
We didn't even get to see any of these "seeds of doubt" among the citizens of gotham since everything seems to be back to normal
Batman absolutely lying to Harley about "having it under control and that he was stalling while he called the bat family" since Barbara clearly states that after their communications were jammed by the Joker she could only bypass the jam up to the point where Batman could hear her, but he could not communicate back to anyone (you could argue that after damaging the ultra useless next gen batsuit he could remove the jam on his communications system but again we never see any evidence of Batman actually calling the others)
Batman saying how he will be a better person and hero now, yet he doesn't have the guts to answer whether the Joker survived or not, or show any indication to try and find him or at least be more prepared for his return
The whole deal with people losing hope on the Wayne family after their fortune was stolen, I mean, it would be kind of obvious to show that it was actually stolen by the Joker and while they may blame them for having "bad security" it is not like the Waynes were the ones using that fortune for evil
If anything the people of Gotham should be pissed at their politicians and authorities who clearly allowed the Joker to do as he wanted freely, instead of the company whose money was stolen
Him wasting all that time and energy to protect zombie Alfred, which I know, Bruce loves Alfred blah blah blah, but the whole message of the previous issue was about how he needed to accept what happened and let go.
Also Punchline proving she IS indeed just another Harley, with her "I love you" message to the Joker, she doesn't care about the plan, she just wants to be with him
And finally, hope you weren't interested in seeing a stealth mission to steal the Wayne's money back from the Joker by Catwoman, the Penguin and the Riddler cause that happens offscreen
So many speeches about changing Gotham yet everything stayed exactly the same, even Clownhunter says it about how at the end the clowns just went into hiding and now are back on the streets pretending as if nothing happens, and how Gotham hoping the Joker is finally gone, like every other time he does something
But apparently this goes back to the cliché of "you thought it was the end but it is actually just the beginning" so it doesn't even matter as a finale
(Honestly this was just going to be like 3 paragraphs but as I started writing I realized I had much more issues with this ending than I originally though)
This needs to be up top in this comment section. We need some discussion going on
@@PixelBraint that would be cool, in case that does happen I feel I should clarify. I am not saying anyone is wrong for liking this issue, these were just some of the elements that didn't click for me, I am sure other people would have other examples or maybe they have none at all, you all do you
Exactly. And getting shot in the head to the point you lose an eye and still being fully operational is not something that only happens in mortal kombat game play anymore. Although I prefer Tinion over King's writing ( terrible Batman run) either Editorial rushed him to deliver on time, or he needs to go over his work with a finer tooth comd more often . Art is dope though
Clown hunter is the only likeable character in this story tbh. That whole "no killing rule" of batman is getting pretty annoying and quite destructive now.
@@edmondlibosana57 I understand his no killing rule, and honestly he isn't even a law official, so it would also cause issues. Also, as he himself stating he doesn't want to go off the deep end, killing criminals for someone has unhinged as batman (because no matter how smart, and talented you are. Anyone who does want he does is crazy, brave but crazy) is a slippery slope. I also understand it for a narrative perspective, since we can't always just kill off villains even if they just return. However, something I really liked about the marvel movies is that people die, its real life, its realistic. Even if Captian America prefers not to kill, everyone else will if they have to and has. No, im not keeping Thanos alive, that dude literally erased half of existence. A bunch of these people kill hundreds, and its like naw, you'll live. No, it doesn't work like that in real life. Joker would have been executed by now in our world. Even if he gets replacements, it's better than people dying and getting gassed.
Thanks so much for covering this story arch! This was by far one of my favorites.
As Joker would say from under the red hood "You actually manage to find a way to win! *and everybody still loses!* "
Been waiting for this for soooo long
Awesome video as always. Stay healthy. Love your content. I wish you a great day from Germany
I've been waiting for this!!!!
why didn't you make more reference to the AWESOME panel @10:48 drawing comparison between the side by side image of damaged mask batman and damaged faced Joker
Loving your work guys. ThanK You keeping me updated in DC/Batman Stories
“ I wish I was Aquaman’s butler instead!”
Damn son!! Damn son!!!
Jorge Jimenez is one of my favorite comic book artist!!
His style looks so western yet has an eastern feeling in it.
Yay Varient keep up thy good work!
Appreciate you guys very much.
Is it only me but I feel like the camera quality has really improved
Bro I’ve been following your epic content since the flash vs quicksilver video and wanted to say keep it up and take care
Been waiting for this I’m hype to watch 🔥🔥🔥
It's really Awesome :) Can;t wait to see who the ghost maker is and his origins. Specifically how he know that Batman is Bruce Wayne. And Can't wait to see The Clown hunter's origin :) Really Great Video Aaron :)
What a story line, Loved it!!
Variant you guys are awesome!!
The most terrifying thing about the joker is that he isn’t just a stupid maniac, he plans everything out, almost always a step ahead of batman
WTF, this comic series has the best suit design, and the art work god dam they look good. i need this comic
I've been waiting for this
Appreciate the upgrade to 60fps, my dude! looks freaking beautiful!
Holy crap. That was crazy and amazing!!
I have a question can I have Harley Quinn outfit? It looks so cool...
You don't get to see such an amazing set up like this too often but when it does come around it's a sight to see.
Its beautiful...
Well done, my friend!!
I gotta say this is a good story arc and plus the 3 jokers story arc too!!!
Nice video variant, also new camera!
That stone work behind you is amazing up in Culbertson Montana, our apartment building has some shitty stone work and stones.
That is fantastic. I've loved this run ❤❤❤❤❤❤👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Sounds like an awesome storyline..... can't wait to get the series.
got goosebumps with this ghost-maker and joker damn
That was a really good story arc
Keep up the good work
Man u explained it frickin amazing
"The Joker is of course still alive".
People will pay for this.
Joker War is one of the best Batman stories in recent years! I loved it!
I’m hoping DC will give us a break from the Joker once this is over, I’m kind of sick of him. Batman has a huge rogues gallery and I’m tired of writers acting like Catwoman and Joker are the only two with any value.
Yeah what about the onampatopea
The camera quality is so good
Loved this story run, good old bats vs mister j!
I kinda miss Alfred tho.....
Still a good story, I love Oracle, and I'm happy she's back!
Bane killed him. And he is alive again in Three Jokers.
My homemade pizza should be perfectly cooked by the time this video ends
Harleys character development is amazing I you look at the small details and her goals.
Just finished reading it. Now, i can finally watch this
5:30 Easily my favorite moment, reminds me of a fanfic I never finished.
I really love this channel with my hart
HA! HA! - Thanks for another great pod cast
Whew, finally the madness is over!
AMAZING!!
The art, the story! You’ve gotta LOVE COMICS!
This is so interesting
Can't wait for the one time character whatever he is ghost something just in time for Halloween. Enjoyed Bullocks scene though.
I'm SO glad that Bruce didn't try to save Joker over Harley:)
Ghost-Maker looks like a futuristic version of Moon Knight🤣
New camera? Video looks great
I really enjoyed this series .
Really love the chemistry between the Joker and Batman, my favourite ship in DC
12:46 That sounds a LOT like an intro to the current "Three Jokers" story, doesn't it?
Did you guys upgrade your camera by any chance? Everything just looks so smooth I love it
Awesome story line.
Great storyline and nice characters evolved
This is actually so gooooooood!😭😭
It was alright I guess.. what set it back and almost killed it for me was Joker being able to talk that much and Batman allowing himself to be stabbed and pretty much not fighting at all...
This was such a good run joker war was really good
That azrael Batman helmet in the background is really cool 👍
