- Reacting to Holy Musical Batman from @starkid. Now I get the irony of calling it "holy" when this is absolute heresy, but let us be damned because this was great.

#HolyMusicalBatman #Starkid #Reaction - Hudba
Ok, I need your favourite superhero and villain. Go!
This is the only superhero content I’m interested in.
Arm fall of boy, and condiment king
Green Lantern and Riddler for this musical
@@FirstNameLastName-lp4qd Same. Also, love your profile pic
purple chin man
I think what impressed me most in this show is the fact that Jeff just had to carry all that candy on him and know which pocket to pull it from for the right joke
I know right???? I kept thinking about that too hahaha
@@Barbara2.0 If I'm not mistaken, at least within each scene, the candies in order were in progressively lower pockets, alternating sides.
I think Jeff impressed me in general. Like,,,,that is an honestly kinda scary Sweettooth
i think, also, a lot of the candy scenes were shot separately and added in post, like the blood from tgwdlm and black friday
I like to imagine he messed up in a rehearsal and the others never let him live it down and he never made the mistake again
Fun fact: Two-Face makes his second appearance in Act 2 Scene 2!
Noooo, that's awesome. Going back to check now hahahaha
woah, I didn’t even know that! nice touch though!
That’s the second coolest fact about this show.
Fun fact: Nick Lang said that they originally planned for Jim to carry Superman, like in the actual show, but then Jim would fly off stage on wires.
that is the most Starkid thing I´ve ever heard
That would've been hilarious! Hahahahaha
Oh my God that's hilarious oh my God they need to redo the whole show and ill make sure they have the money for it somehow og my god
fun fact!! nick lang originally wanted to cast lauren as robin but when she and joe were running scenes, it was too similar to draco and voldemort so nick took the role instead !!
Aw I would've loves to see that (even though Nick was brilliant)
Putting Dylan Saunders in a 1920s gangster suit just isn't fair to anyone.
How long does it take to tell Batman's origin story?
Christopher Nolan: Two hours and twenty minutes.
Starkid: Eighty seconds!
"Is Brian going to be Superman? He looks like Clark Kent there." Very astute! Well spotted, I didnt notice that the first time I watched it.
God, I miss this old Starkid vibe. I feel this captures the old optimism of Starkid (while still having some pointed commentary) so well. I get why the shows have shifted towards a different tone in the past few years, and it seems to speak to a lot of people. But I really appreciate the wholesomeness of this ending in particular. It builds up to showing the worst in humanity and in the superhero genre, but ends up showing the best. "Ugh, masks! Capes! Superheroes are cool, man! Helping people is cool. And you are good*mned great at helping people."
one of the reasons HMB is my favorite starkid musical is because of what you just described, which also works to the benefit of the content of this musical in my opinion. this show did such a great job of capturing the in-this-together, nothing-is-hopeless sort of feel that many during and post-war comics created. part of the whole point of having heroes was to create a sense of hope during what was otherwise a terrible time in history, and HMB hits that feel-good nostalgia just right for me ❤️
I love how they included that IRL the readers hated Jason Todd when he was introduced in the comics so they actually had the reader vote for whether or not robin should die in the next issue AND THEY VOTED fOR HIM TO DIE SOO JOKER BEAT HIM TO DEATH WITH A CROWBAR
of course, he came back as the red hood
Well... there's actually been some discrepancy more recently on whether the vote was accurate or if certain die-hards were spamming to put in multiple votes for the death.
Actually, the vote was rigged and they wanted to do it anyway. Most people voted no. They were going to do it anyway but they wanted it to look like the public's decision
@Kate Orgera @Abbey moo, For real WOW that's super messed up
Jim Povolo is the tall, deep voiced actor. Their name is the inspiration for Meredith's band, Jim and the Povolos, and they came out as non-binary a few years back :)
I was scrolling to check if anyone had commented about Jim's pronouns already. Glad somebody beat me to it!
For others' reference, I actually asked about them on the post where he came out, so direct quote, "I prefer he/him for simplicity, xe/xir for complexity, and we/us for ubiquity (smiling cat emoji)"
@@igotVoldemortsnoseI still don't know if the x is zupposed to be pronounced z or zh
I've just been kinda winging it for 8 years
"There death has never given me chills before." That's just Dylan's voice.
Fair hahaha Petition to have Dylan sing the murder scene in all future Batman movies
god even the opening “[bang] ONE SHOT” gets me every single time
@@starbird6 I constantly think about that. Like damn, sir, you did not have to go that hard, as the youth say...
@@hawktalon7890 EXACTLY
@@Barbara2.0 You also said you wish you got to see Joker.. that would be Jeff again. You can see him during the parents' death scene.
Two more things:
1. If I remember correctly, Denise was particularly thrilled with playing Catwoman because she was obsessed with that character as a kid. Living the dream!
2. The one Gothamite repeatedly calling Superman "Captain Marvel" is already funny. But it gets even funnier when you remember the original Captain Marvel (now called "Shazam") was created as a Superman knockoff. He actually surpassed Superman in popularity for a couple years, until DC Comics sued Fawcett for copyright infringement over how similar they were! A deep-cut reference by Starkid!
So cool! Thanks for sharing this :)
@@Barbara2.0 Also also: The title "Holy Musical B@man" comes from a famous catchphrase of Robin's during the 1966 Adam West "Batman" series, which was a major inspiration for the Robin character in this show: czcams.com/video/e5hRPy-pDsY/video.html
Oh awesome! Thank you so much for this
@@Barbara2.0 Also, False Face and Egghead (the character wearing the egg hat and leading the crooks who carrying chickens) appeared in that same Adam West Batman show. Not sure if they were originally originally *from* the show or not, but they were in it.
Also also, Superman reversing time by flying around the world in this play is a reference to him doing the same thing in the first of the Christopher Reeves Superman movies.
"To Be a Man" (the fuck you song) is the embodiment of a slap fight in musical form.
Also, it's criminal that the opening number isn't on the album.
the guy who plays Alfred was originally supposed to play the villain, but then they heard his Michael Caine impression and they had to make him alfred. They also planned to use the Joker but couldn't figure out a way to make a parody of him funny.
I'm very glad there was no Joker in the end.
the fact that their original idea was to just make joker *not* funny is actually fucking hilarious
I also feel safe whenever I see Jim Povolo. what an icon
What an absolute legend
@@una_10bananas It’s a crime that his starkid performance as gandalf in their LotR is lost to the ages.
My favorite joke in this is without a doubt;
“....shattered tibia~”
“W-what was that about my tibia-? AGH MY FUCKIN TIBIA-!”
if you want to see more of Chris Allen (the actor who played Alfred and the amazing Two-Face), he plays the lead in Ani! incredibly talented person :)
Ani doesn’t get enough love!! The scene with obi wan kills me 😂😂
@@xpoeticdreamz The thing people don't realize about ANI is that it's a sports movie. The music is all montages, so none of the characters actually sing, which makes it feel really different. But oh man does it give Clark and the band a chance to flex.
As a fan of both Starkid and Star Wars I had high hopes for Ani, but it didn't do it for me. Sadly I think it is one of their weakest productions. It had some good themes going, but I feel it fell flat. But give it a try, we all have different preferences. =)
@@TheonlyaviableID ditto. As a huge Star Wars fan (one who knows a lot of EU lore/characters) I thought I'd love it, but besides a few chuckles I was pretty meh about it at the end. Definitely my least favourite of the Starkid shows
@@leynaripley5250 Yeah.
*** May be spoilers below ***
The start was just some lame daddy/SW-jokes, I get it that Vader was supposed to be lame, but it was not entertaining.
Later they started to have some interesting meta-plotline going, that they usually do very well, putting the popularity or existance between OT, PT and EU characters in play. But it went nowhere.
Here's hoping for a Game of Thrones parody next =D
holy musical batman is the only starkid show with a score by nick gage, and he has such a specific style! I think it works so well for this show
Nick gage is a genius
Totally agree
Also the one, that kind of started his career as a composer
Calendar Man actually exists… and so do most other bizzare individualities introduced
Yeah I knew most of them but never heard of Calendar Man, so weird xD
@@Barbara2.0 the "calendar man, your days are numbered!" joke apparently came to matt lang (one of the writers) in a dream way before they wrote this musical
@@una_10bananas the prophecy has been fulfilled
@@Barbara2.0 Sweet Tooth actually also appears in Batman once. Not as “Joker, but diabetes” but the name is still same
Yeah I remember him in the animated series
for like the first half of this musical i thought they were gonna do a romance between superman and batman and i found it hilarious.
didn't they?
this is the musical that led to me discovering:
- batfamily
- what name i go by
- my gender identity
cheers!
Super friends - "That's ridiculous" - That's canon! xDD it's the 70's DC heroes cartoon.
Oh my God, that's true!!!! I totally forgot about that hahaha
@@Barbara2.0 Here’s a parody of their opening credits during their Legion of Doom season that may be one of favorite things on CZcams over: czcams.com/video/1tW1eALCpGU/video.html
Jeff Blim's portrayal of Sweet Tooth made me fall in love (even more) with him, the man exudes sensuality in that character 🔥
I simply love how much you love Dylan voice! And yes the goosebumps from the Wayne's death scene are real!
Jim Povolo (the tall one with the deep voice) is very much a very comforting presence!
You're right that Chris Allen (Alfred) was in AVPSY! He's also the lead in Ani and he does so good in it!
I knew you would love Rouges are We! Your love of villains, Dylan, Denise, and Jamie just made it so perfect!
This show is one of my favourite if you can't tell 😂
Also Jeff as Sweet Tooth is perfect casting and I will forever love it
Glad you enjoyed it, Avalee! I can't wait for Ani now 🤩
@@Barbara2.0 am hype for your ani watch now!
Yay, another Starkid reaction! This was Jeff´s first Starkid show, and his best performance in my opinion. Even as someone who just watched the movies and cartoons, this show is fantastic!
Totally agree. Jeff's outdone himself with this one
Jeff's debut (if you are going for when it got to ytbe. If ur going for when they were performed, his debut was Avpsy)
Oh cool! Didn't know that :) What an epic debut!
it wasnt tho this came out in 2012, avpsy was 2013 :)
@@HB-vy5mr correction again. Hmb was performed first and also came to CZcams first HOWEVER they were both performed 2012. Hmb: March 22nd - 2th. Avpsy: August 11th
I know a lot of people already told you Chris was in Ani but I would like to add he also played one of the main characters in little white lie which is a web series they did even before be a very potter musical. The show also has one of Laurens best scenes acting wise especially when you consider how young she was at the time (also boy toy is by far one of her best songs)
boy toy supremacy!
Noted! Will have to check that out
boy toy my beloved
OMG Tanya is the best character and boy toy is great!!!
Wait, WHAT!? ANI is DUDER?!?
I absolutely adore this musical and your reaction! This show is definitely where StarKid started to settle into who they were as a development company and what types of shows they wanted to write/produce. This show was my first introduction to Jeff and I fell in love with his energy IMMEDIATELY! Also, fun fact, the shots of all the candy were accumulated over many, many days, not just one performance. Jeff didn't always pull out the right candy during shows 😂
That's good to know cause I kept thinking "my God, it would be disastrous if I tried to pull out the right candy every time", so good to know he's human hahaha
I imagine in this show, it would still work if he pulled out the wrong candy, looked at it and said "oh shit" and then rummaged through his pockets for the right one.
Some of my fav memes in this show are: the fuck you song and I quote the pizza Nintendo bit all the time
Its probably my most quoted musicals tbh :,)
I once played the Batman v Supes song to the people in my English class at school. I still have PTSD from that experience.
Hahahahahaha oh no xD
That’s a bummer. By the way, your name is the best pun i’ve heard since the LSH introduced two new members in the 60s: Sir Prize and Miss Terious.
Alfred is also Ani in Ani.
Can't wait for that then!
dylan in this show is incredible
*Dylan in any show is incredible
"Why's there so much sexual tension in this show?"
Have you seen Something Rotten?
Not ye, but now I know what to expect hahaha
I love Something Rotten! My dad took me to see it several years ago, and I was cracking up! I love the music too, so good!
I was the most surprised when I found out Calendar Man was a real DC comics character and not one of the rando characters made up for this musical
I would legitimately watch all 2 hours of you reacting to each musical lol your reactions are adorable and exactly what I was like when I first watched them!
This is so sweet of you, thank you! I wish my laptop wouldn't take 3 days to render the video if I were to upload the full shows because I totally would if I could hihi
Although I don't know any of the source material for this one, I love it so, so much. I don't get all the jokes, references, or playing with character trades, but I still enjoy watching it. It's just so wholesome and comforting. It was very interesting to see the perspective of a person who does know this stuff!
I was feeling out so hard! Hahaha But I think the best thing about it is that, as you said, it's so wholesome and joyful that it works for everyone, DC fans or not.
I normally just lurk and like, but I just wanted to tell you once how much I like and appreciate your views and reactions to all these shows. It is so nice to see someone enjoy these shows as much as I do. Love it!
Hey Nicole, glad you decided to pop by the comments, was great to hear from everyone 😊 Thank you so much for your kind words, means a lot ❤
I was watching Jim Povolo's (the really tall guy with the deep voice who says "It's all your fault Jafar" in Twisted) Twitch stream yesterday and he was searching for videos to watch in the future and your name came up from quite a few people. They were like watch Barbara 2.0's reaction videos. Just thought you'd like to know you have been recognized for your great work and may now be on a StarKid member's radar to watch. Congrats!
Wow that's FANTASTIC!!! Thank you so much for letting me know, Kris! Awesome stuff 🤩
@@Barbara2.0 You are quite welcome.
18:23 Hey, it's Specs's great-great-great-great-great grandmother!
This might be one of my favorites (...as are, like, half of their shows?) but I was a little uncertain about it the first time. I think the music style threw me off some, but they're killer songs. Two Face was always my favorite, though. XD XD
And a GIF of Robin doing the kick line (showing off a lot of leg!) got enough traction online at some point that I saw one or two people use it without knowing where it was from, which was truly glorious. Bahahah.
Jeff as Sweettooth is my favourite Starkid character!😁
Can totally see why
Chris Allen is also one of the leads of their little miniseries called Little White Lie
Jaime Lynn in that costume is confirmation for me that yes, I am in fact a little bit bi. Like DAMN tho 🔥🔥🔥
Ikr??? By far the coolest costume out of all the Starkid shows I've seen
Which one? For me it's Ivy, WOW
Me: *sees notification*
Also Me: *screams*
I love Holy Musical B@man so much 😩
Hahahaha ❤
I'm 40 second in and the review hasn't even started but I felt compelled to tell you that I really like your hat.
I'm not a hat person but that one is great!
Hahahaha thank you! I'm actually not a hat person either but I had to buy that one, it's so pretty
I love this show so much. Like I don’t know if it’s the strongest plot-wise, but the performances and just the pure manic energy of it all make it so iconic.
On a different note, I would highly suggest Ride the Cyclone for a future video. It’s so good and so tragically underrated. I think you would really like it, especially considering how much you enjoyed Beetlejuice. It has very similar
Vibes
So many scary similarities to Lego Batman I honestly thought it was plagerism.
ALL HAIL SWEET TOOTH!!!
The only dc related things I've ever seen are holy musical batman and the lego batman movie. I don't think I *ever* need to see anything else...
Lego Batman was the plagiarizer!!
And Batman vs Superman
I hope that you are planning to buy Starkid Homecoming and watch it once you get through all the shows. It just warms your heart! Also I can’t remember if you saw Nick Lang before but he is the one behind the shows. The Lang brothers write all the shows.
Yes, I'll be reacting to Homecoming too and I know the Lang Brothers now, brilliant minds :)
@@Barbara2.0 so excited!!! Homecoming is brilliant
What a great show. If I recall correctly, after this they did the Apocalyptour, which itself was quite an experience
...with a full audio album and DVD ;)
I don't think it'd fit for this channel since its more a concert with a very light splashing of plot rather than a musical, but if you need more Starkid in your life, as well as a few songs sung by different cast members, it is well worth a listen to. Great content as always!!
Jim Povolo is absolutely beautiful in that show, in every way possible.
If u want more of the guy who plays Alfred, he's in Starkid's youtube show Little White Lies. He looks completely different tho, but he plays Duder. He's also in ANI.
I literally just learned this but the director of the show I'm currently in *met starkid* at their concert when Holy Musical B@man had just been released.
Storytime I guess:
My director had a rich friend who owned a model of a batmobile- that was also a limousine. I dont know much about cars but yeah, he and his friend went to the Starkid concert in the bat-limo and Starkid noticed during the meet and greet.
When I heard this, I was literally shocked, so I hope you guys find this interesting.
GLEE CAN WAIT
This is one of my favorite Starkid shows
There's no Joker because Batman is realllllly reallllllly pressed about who can use the Joker's name. In the show Gotham they couldn't even use him, instead opting for a character that "inspired" the Joker to become the Joker (even tho we all know he's the Joker)
Do you mean DC protects their Joker trademark more than their Batman and Superman ones? That’s utterly bizarre. All i can think of is that Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are legally created entities and they can come after them when and if they need to. But there were Joker playing cards before the character was created, so to hold the trademark maybe they have to be more stringent? (If the Joker had been Jokerman, they probably wouldn’t have to be so stringent. And Catwoman’s name was changed from The Cat to Catwoman after her first appearance.)
I have never noticed that Brian is dressed as Clark Kent in the opening song omg that's genius, well done on picking that up!
There was this rumor i heard that the Lego Batman movie was inspired by Holy Musical B@man, the similarities are Striking
This is one of the more meh musicals of StarKid for me since I don’t follow DC that closely, but I’m still having fun. Dylan’s singing is just divine, and the angst! Oh my heart!
Fun fact! The title "Holy Musical B@man" is a reference to the '66 Batman TV show, where a running theme was Robin declaring, "Holy [insert thematic noun here], Batman!" For example, "Holy Cat, Batman!" so it's a reference to that!
My other favourite running thing from that show was Bat-[item]. You know, the bat-mobile, the bat-computer which is powered by the bat-diamond, the bat-shark-repellant, bat-thermal-underwear to name a few!
Also I gotta say the line from Rogues are We "We harm in harmony, arm-in-arm we hold our stance" scratches my brain in all the right ways!
ITS MY FAVORITE ONE AAA. I could write a 20 page essay on this superman, he’s the character that lives rent free in my mind the most
Definitely watch Little White Lie, it's the oldest thing they've got as far as I know, it's super interesting to see Starkid before really becoming Starkid, plus some parts are simply iconic (the song Harry from AVPM in the original version for LWL, the song Boy Toy,...). :D
To date me to hell and back, this was my first introduction to starkid. Someone on memebase shared this on a comics page they had and I clicked through and had literally the exact same reaction you did to the opening number.
I need to get up early so was going to leave this until tomorrow but I just had to know your reaction! I'm so glad you liked it, also shout out to the amazing June Saito who made all the costumes (and there are so many) she's brilliant! I think this is one of their tightest written shows and it goes by so quickly but there's still a lot in there, also the performances are all excellent, I especially liked your reaction to Jaime as poison ivy singing
All hail June Saito!
I loved your reaction so much! Your insight is so clever and interesting, and the way you clearly get so much unfiltered delight from Starkid is phenomenal. This show is just absolutely nuts, off the walls fun, even if I do prefer the more drama-focused shows like Black Friday. On a last note, I adore your outfit today, the vibes are Immaculate!
Yaaay so happy you enjoyed the video! I'm with you, I prefer the drama-focused ones because you get a great mix of both genres, but the comedy ones always make me SO freaking happy. And thank you for the kind words, really appreciate it 🥰
Someone has asked you to do Starry yet, right? Dylan is wondeful in that
Yes yes! Coming soon ;)
Dylan's voice in this is just so good!!!
i love how you look betrayed by the fact that spiderman was alfred all along
I mean, come on! Hahaha
I WASNT MENTALLY PREPARED FOR NICK BUT IM GONNA HAVE TO BECAUSE NOTHING WILL STOP ME FROM WATCHING THIS VIDEO
Yeeeeeeeeeees \o/
I love your commentary on this, and the way you appreciate the cast so much. hmb is one of my favourite starkid shows and i fall in love with jaime as poison ivy every time i see it
I love your videos so much! I get a little bit happier every time I see you posted!
This is so sweet! Thank you so much for the kind words. And it's definitely reciprocal, I get a little bit happier every time you comment too ❤😊
Yas! This is my favorite Starkid show and I am so happy you watched it and loved it!
BARBARA you know exactly how to brighten my bad days!!
Sorry to hear you had a bad day, Sam :( But warms my heart to know the video helped 🥰
gosh I love your reaction to this so much!!!! This makes me so happy!!!!!
So so nice to hear that! 🥰
Starkid did Batman vs Superman before and better
FACTS
Barbara slamming in some awesome reviews, keep it up queen
I need to wait to watch this bc I can't now but I already know you're going to LOVE this
shit I'm still watching this even though I can't right now hahahahahaha
Hahahahaha don't get in trouble!
If you like Alfred I’m excited for you to see Ani...
Yay! You did this one! Thank you!
can we talk about your amazing look? like, HELLOOOO you are looking fabulous!!!
Aaaaw thank you so much!!
One of my favorite Starkid shows!
Though Superman did foreshadow him reversing time by reversing the earth's rotation, I didn't think much of it when I first watched the musical cause I saw that episode of the show on TV. And I simply laughed at the reference to a canon event on the TV show (which was already absurd).
When I say I've been waiting for this one it is the understatement of the decade
I'm 2:30 in and it hits me that you're going to be introduced to Sweet Tooth. OMG. I can't wait to see your reaction!
I adore Jim Pavolo, they're so good I'd actually be hyped to see them in a more prominent role tbh
Amazing as always!! Tres Joli!!!!
Thank you! :)
Oh wow I'm early for once! Love your videos!
Thank you, Andrew! Hope you enjoy it :)
Joe Walker is the saddest, loneliest, darkest knight.
I have never related to anything more than your reaction to Dylan's singing in the opening number
the guy at 1:55 is called Jim Povolo, and uses xe/xir pronouns :)
if you like joe walker, you should watch spies are forever!! i'm sure someone has already given you the rundown on what tin can bros is, but joey, joe, lauren, and curt (the president in black friday) are all in it! also tessa netting, who's engaged to joe moses (snape)
Oh I've already done it and loved it! Here's a link if you wanna watch it: czcams.com/video/-u5EWPTbSP4/video.html
27:53 knowing you probably know him as sirius black, i heard that as "siriusly?" the first time around lol
Now that you've watched HMB, you NEED TO WATCH/ LISTEN TO the Rogues Medley from their Apocalyptour
I'm so happy you share my love for Dylan. He's SO amazing
This show is so much fun. I love it.
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT THAT'S ALL
I LOVE YOU FOR BEING HERE AND SUPPORTING IT THAT'S ALL ❤
I looooove HMB’s soundtrack, I wish they would do a Hatchetfield musical with Nick Gage on music. Sweet Tooth is my favorite Jeff Blum character for sure.
Are you going to do MAMD? Please? It would break you, lol
Yep :)
@@Barbara2.0 YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!! So excited 😁😁😁
MAMD has my favorite soundtrack omg I’m so excited
@@Barbara2.0 Yaaaaaaay! It's surprisingly very heartfelt, honestly one of my favorite shows, and has two of my favorite songs in all of Starkid, and in fact all of musical theatre in general (Ready to Go and Even Though.)
These are fun.
Doing a Little Shop of Horrors video would be a lot of fun.
YES
The person you didn't know the name of is called Jim Povolo. Xe uses he/xis pronouns (I hope those are right)
I didn't know that about Jim! Good for.. xim? xir?
Actually, the name is Jim Provolo and I don't care about the artificial pronouns in use.
@@pankesurfer8963 Nah it's Jim Povolo. Meredith's Group is named after him: Jim and The Povolos.
@@ForeverDegenerate You're right. I added an "r" that schouldn't be there. But it's still "Povolo" and not "Polovo".
But given the use of pronouns the name will always be open to some ambiguities as well. ;)
@@Jupiterninja95 'xir' I think. You can see how Jim's pronouns are used in xir official starkid bio: starkid.fandom.com/wiki/Jim_Povolo
