What's your favourite colour Kryptonite?
Red Kryptonite. Mainly because I remember watching smallville and seeing Clark go full bad boy was a joy.
Black kryptonite from smallville
Probably Gold for the severity of it where they refrain from it but you know whenever it comes up the stakes are up.
Pink
Definitely pink kryptonite bc I have also been affected by it
"I was gonna save Metropolis but then I got high. I was gonna destroy all kryptonite, but then I got high. Lex is still an asshole, and I know whyyyyy... 'cause I got high. Because I got high. Because I got high."
Da da da, da da da.
I was gonna go on a date with Lois too
But then I got high
I was gonna buy her a gift from Italy too
But I was high
But instead I knocked the Leaning Tower straight
And I know why (why hey hey hey)
Because I got high, because I got high, cuz I got hiii~~gh.
Da da da, da, da da da.
"We're going to get rid of all the Kryptonite. All of it, Bruce."
"Right, right. All... of it."
"Did you pause right there?"
"Clark, you're super hearing things. Again"
Hehehe Batman would never get rid of his secret kryptonite
Batman second love kryptonite
Bruce: "Clark, you know I need to keep a chunk or two in case you get mind controlled again or Zod and pals bust out of the Phantom Zone, right?"
Clark: "... Shit, that's fair."
@@decidueyezealot8611Batman has kryptonite flesh light!
Livewire: “I’m gonna put some kryptonite in your eye.”
Wouldn’t but be hilarious if the Gotham knights were like “as a thank you for Batman for protecting our city, we are donating $10 million to the Gotham General Hospital coma wing to support Batman’s comatose sister, we wish her the best of luck Lance”, and Bruce is going… “WTF?!?!?!”, and there’s like a benefit concert for her and songs written, and a comer awareness promo and all this big stuff to support her and Bruce is just like… What is happening?
"CURSE YOU SUPERMAN. That secret was for your ears only."
I LOVE it! I want DC to have a fictional take on the superheroes, to kinda mirror our own. It's a way to get a little meta and reflect our own trends, like how we've grown into deconstructing superheroes with stories like The Boys and earlier work like Watchmen.
It also seems like a fun way to tease bruce for being so serious all the time. They need a better origin story. The public can't really believe that Batman is just a human.
Sounds like something Jason would do.
@@angrytheclown801 Oh, Jason would do something like that, 100%. And while we all know that no one in the Bat-family would let Bruce live the movie down, you know that Jason would go above and beyond in trolling Bruce.
Alfred: I quite enjoyed the film, Master Lance.
Bruce: _Attempts to BatGlare at Alfred but it doesn't work on him._
Odd that Firestorm isn't the go-to guy when looking to eliminate kryptonite globally.
Exactly he could just turn it too something else
With the whole concept of the "Kryptonite Mutation" thing, it'd be interesting to run Kryptonite as inherently corruptive.
Like, the reason there's always so much, and always MORE, is because if you put Kryptonite next to something for long enough, it just also becomes Kryptonite.
Maybe even tie this into WHY Krypton exploded. the kryptonite was like a cancer slowly eating at the core of the planet until it finally lost cohesion. Make it a "molecular virus" or something suitably silly.
I like this. It's a nice combination of Silver Age "goofy science" with Lovecraftian / Golden Age "magic-adjacent weird science".
Does the name Dahr-Nel ring a bell with you...?
@@arcadiaberger9204 had to look it up, and it's just funny how 80% of his story matches up with so many other golden age stories.
But it is a useful precedent. This is the exact kind of "lore" that can be used to cement a new standard.
@@hartthorn You're making me feel old, calling a comic which I bought new when I was in the fourth grade "Golden Age" . . . .
That is pretty much exactly how sg1 naquadria works
@@craigh5236 how was the Great War old man
I think I said this on the community post that had "Lance's backstory", but I would very much like to see this origin for Bruce as an Elseworld's. You ALREADY KNOW his sister is going to wake up from the coma and become the Joker. You know it.
Well, Irem made an arcade game, Ninja Baseball Bat Man. That exists for the sole purpose of search engine optimization, basically the same way this plot was written, because words.
Either that or his abusive mother is the Joker.
@@sboinkthelegday3892 I had so much fun playing that game as a kid.
@@CThengMartha Wayne was the Flashpoint Joker.
I want to see someone catching Batman interacting with the Kent’s a few times and coming to the conclusion that Clark Kent is Batman.
That already happened. Clark, Bruce and Lois go on a cruise, the Earth-3 villains attack, and Lois begins to believe Clark Kent is...Batman!
"Superman destroyed all kryptonite"
Except to the ring he proposed to Batman with- I mean gave to Batman
The "good guys" making Kryptonite weapons isn't a bad thing because we've seen plenty of evil Kryptonians.
Also plenty of mind controlled superman
@@kin-3877Happens about once a month.
"No Clark, you can't borrow my pirate ship."
Best out of context line ever.
(Also my favorite Batman love interest is Wonder Woman. Try to tell me they don't make quite the couple...)
Wonder Woman and Batman is way better than Wonder Woman and Superman
Definitely a couple with potential, but not smooth sailing. Not even her warrior to his vigilante. They’d need to have a plan to not give away his identity. She’s noticeable. 😊
Batman/Joker is clearly the OTP.
Diana is a near immortal Goddess while Bruce is a rich kids with issues. _Lots_ of issues.
Too bad, they could have had an awesome high-seas adventure going out and fighting Aquaman and talking in pirate accents...
"No Clark, you can't borrow my pirate ship!" I love that line to bits. Although I'm not fond of the story overall, all of the antagonists (Aquaman, Waller, Lana) try to play the "Strawman has a Point" trope but they just come across as short-sighted morons. Also is "Varietals" the issue where Zatanna tells Batman to "Ttub ym ssik!" when she gets sick of his "Magic isn't real" b-s.
why did they go for the sanitary "Ttub" instead of "ssa"?
@@renatocorvaro6924 batdonkey is born!
I love Superman and Batman crossovers.
Side note: I love the British accent for fake Batman.
We have to convince her to cover Superman: True Brit. Then she can use it again.
_Batman's actor is a true thespian..._
Considering how many of DC and Marvel characters are played by British subjects (including Australian and Canadian) who do plausible American accents this comic's actor wouldn't necessarily sound English.
Well, he was raised by Alfred, so the casting department was surprisingly pretty close. 😂 It reminds me of the Ember Island Players from Avatar.
"a rollercoaster full of thought provoking moments but also some random ones" is a great description of superman/batman as a series
There was a bunch of extra Kryptonite because this story immediately followed Kara's return riding that giant Kryptonite meteor from Public Enemies. That Aquaman is Arthur Joseph Curry, he was Aquaman for a few months while regular Arthur was corrupted by magic and had amnesia.
Are the two Aquamen related, or they just so happen to share the same first and last name?
@@harlannguyen4048 They just happened to have the same name. He wasn't even Atlantian, he was given the ability to breath underwater through the same experiment responsible for the Sub Diego storyline.
That explains why he act like Namor.
Never lose your Batman voice! You're hilarious when you read that way. "GET. IN. THE. BAT. COOP!"
I like how Aquaman’s speech balloons have bubbles
Lance's back story seems something out of The Boys.
To the Mooooooooon
Dr Doom uses magic and technology as he pleases! TOOT!
My favorite "dueling narration boxes" between Supes and Bats was when Batman was going to marry Selina. Both were hesitant to talk to each other. Selina and Lois were each telling Bruce and Clark "just call him!". Batman: "Everyone looks up to him and adores him". Supes: "Everyone wants to be him." ... Batman: "He has amazing powers and can do anything, why would he want to be my friend?" Superman: "He does have the advantage of powers and does amazing things, why would he want to be my friend?" It was a great issue. Clark was worried about Bruce telling Selina who he is and Lois was telling him that Selina is pretty sharp and probably already knows, and then was patronizing to Clark when he said he thought his disguise was really good. Meanwhile, Selina was telling Bruce if he's worried about telling her Superman's identity, then don't worry. I mean, a reporter who writes all about Superman and looks exactly like him, but with glasses, isn't too hard to figure out. LOL
Just a thought, what if the Kryptonite eventually corrupted the sun causing its rays to effect Superman in different ways. I think that would be an interesting dark universe story.
Leading to a new title, "Superman by Night"?
deadass, maybe lets not throw Supes weakness into the source of his life? Like
Even if they dropped the whole planet into the sun, it wouldn't make that much difference. Stars are BIIIG.
Krypton is vulnerable to fire. It burns .
Bat Day at Gotham Knights Stadium gets CRAZY! To THE MOOOOOON!
One of the many things left open to interpretation is whether or not Superman knew Batman already had a stash of Kryptonite.
He could easily have handed over that "one last piece" as a charade to con Bruce into thinking he *_didn't_* know about the existing stash.
Well...just a thought.
To the mooooon! I died.😅
Your Batman voice always rules 😂
I do love the fact that they showed the Addis Ababa Kryptonite from the 1978 Superman movie.
11:10 also known as why Vision and his family constantly get their shit wrecked. I keep a "Viv Vision death" counter for this exact reason
Weren't the only two times Viv died when the original killed Viv 2.0 and when she died in India alongside most of the Champions (before Miles Morales and Nova made a deal with Mephisto to bring them back)? I know she faked her death in the inciting event of Outlawed, but that shouldn't count since she was still alive.
@WhiteRaven696 right, i was misremembering that last one as she really died
They also showed her corpse in the weird world arc i believe, but idk if she was just deactivated or what
@@WhiteRaven696 I could just be remembering it wrong cuz I think she got messed up but not necessarily killed but didn't she also die in that Tom King vision story?
Every time i hear your Batman voice I'm like "this is going to get old real quick" then it keeps going and every time it is more and more hilarious lol I love it specially in the melodramatic moments is comedic gold
I can just picture both Nightwing and Oliver giving Bruce a hard time due to the movie......
_....And Alfred, he would roast him every time he steps out of line or try to outsass him_
Sasha does the best Batman voice of anyone ever. I love it.
The fact Kryptonite just sort of shows up on demand has always been silly. So to that extent, the silly aspects of this just sort of fit right in, lol.
I never read this storyline, but just from this video it reminds me a bit of the first "Armor Wars" where Stark went on a quest to reclaim all his stolen tech, even crossing a few lines along the way. Stark's quest seems less selfish though with the basic difference being the justifications: Stark taking reponsibility for all the damage his tech might do in the wrong hands v. Superman feeling justified defending himself because of all the good he does and will do.
That was a different order of stupid, though, since, even though I don't remember it being overtly said, when he effectively erased / remotely destructed applications that used his tech, he hit a lot of friendly/innocent users. There was no indication anyone using the Guardsman armour was doing so in any anti-societal way, for example, and some of those people were likely in harms way when it was shut down. And IIRC, he ended up faking his own death to avoid the legal consequences.
@@nctpti2073 IIRC, Stark's reason for feeling justified in destroying all copies of his armor technology was that all of it was copied from data stolen from him, and he hadn't patented it specifically because he didn't want just anyone to be able to build things based on it (I liked the allusion to that in the first Iron Man film: "our proprietary repulsor technology").
@@arcadiaberger9204 It wasn't all stolen from him, though. The Spymaster did steal data from him, but Stane's hostile takeover of Stark International was legal, even if his attacks on Tony leading up to it were not. Bought is not the same as stolen.
And that does not change the fact that, to remove his tech from the Guardsmen, he had to break into a prison, which also implicated Rhody and Steve Rogers (Cap), endangered all of the guards and led to a prison breakout.
Meanwhile, Tony, himself, stole ideas from any villain he took down. One of his unibeam designs was based on the Unicorn's inventions, among other such IP thefts.
@@nctpti2073 Hah, good points.
It would've been better if it was made apparent that clark was also thinking about the other kryptonians like powergirl, supergirl and conner and making the world safer for them.
The only thing that I’m more sure of then Bruce not giving up his Green K …is that Clark better not even think about taking Lois’s Periwinkle K …Lol 🖖🏾
“Straight to the moon, Alice!”
Lana going heel is very interesting and would love to see a continuation of that plot point. Also i love how the kryptionite engagement ring kept coming back in your head, so many questions indeed 🤣
This story was like 20 years ago, you can read it now if you want :D
There was an episode of the 'Adventures of Superman' radio show from 1945 called "Looking for Kryptonite," where Supes teams with Batman and Robin to deal with a gang of bad guys who capture Superman, (After luring him into a trap by promising to selll him the whereabouts of all the kryptonite in the world,) and try using a kryptonite-powered Cyclotron to disintegrate him, but Bats comes to the rescue.
First off, I love that intro for the Superman/Batman movie. It was so unexpected that I had to pause because I was laughing.
Second, ruthless Lana is something I didn't know I wanted. Kind of wished it was her choice.
Really? Honestly it just make her seem like an ass, especially since the kryptonite gas would've doomed the human race and all life on earth, literally contradicting her whole point for doing it. If it was her choice she would look even dumber than she already did.
About Magic and DC: Iremember a few of tidbits during my reading of DC comics.
1) Zantana was originally science-based as a branch the Homo Magi species of humans.
2) Batman explained to Alfed how Deadman wasn't an actual ghost, but a human tied to the Quantum field.
3) Neil Gaimen once wrote DC rules to Magic. The basic premise was that you either walked in the world of science or magic: once you chose, that is the world you tread. Magic always had a cost. And the last thing: Magic users were never going to be happy.
4) As of Doomsday Clock: Magic is the left over energy from creation: Similar to older unused code in a computer program. Only those that are on the outliers of creation can tap into it “rewriting reality”
Can I just say, it is shocking that it’s be more practical for a movie studio to get Kryptonite than to pay someone to make a Kryptonite prop.
Superman had a hell of 420
"Imagine a walking talking nuclear weapon"
Captain Atom? ... Firestorm?
I didnt know people believed superman had a secret identity. I thought some just saw him as superman 24/7
How cool it must be for Sasha's kids that she does voices when she reads character dialog.
The red pixie cut wig is my new favorite.#wiglife .
One thing I found interesting about energy Superman era was he wasn’t weak to kryptonite
That opening is actually perfect
I love the Batman voice. No matter how stupid it gets it always makes me laugh.
I love whenever media be it comics or TV spoofs on other medium. Ones like this, Planet of the Apes musical in Simpsons, and Tights in Animal Man
Batman voice is indeed silly and fun. And I’m here for it.
I think Batman's skepticism of magic isn't 100% arbitrary when you consider that most of DC's magic users, as opposed to the more Honors Student crowd at Marvel, tend to be misfits and outsiders, sometimes even bordering on criminals. Even Zatanna's "Everyone thinks I'm a stage magician but I actually do magic for real" has layers of deception to it. After working with John Constantine, master tricker and living shitpost of a human being, I might come out believing magic was a thing less than when I started.
On the other hand, Batman's "I don't believe in ghosts" philosophy that he had at one point was very strange considering that he's teamed up with Deadman a bunch of times, not to mention meeting the Spectre a few times.
It's still weird that Batman thinks Billy Batson says the word "Shazam" to turn into Captain Marvel via science. Or that Wonder Woman got her powers from the gods scientifically.
What about Doctor Fate?
I'm pretty sure he might has another reason to distrust Zatanna.
**cough** --mind wipe-- **cough** .
@@CTheng Batman doesn't trust anyone, besides, Zatanna had good reason, Batman tends to defend criminals sometimes
Doctor Fate *sometimes* has wise and spiritual thing going on, but sometimes he's basically Moon Knight.
So it pretty clear with the Lana twist that this storyline was going hard on Smallville. We all can imagine Smallville Lana doing this same thing with the same minor coercion.
Your take on Batman rocks.
Warner Brothers should offer you a gig in their animation.
Now I want to see a Power Girl - Toyman - Joker love triangle.
I want a story where and Injustice-like situation is entirely avoided because Batman hits Superman with a magic amulet so he gets too high to turn evil and conquer the world
Ultraman found it during the “Forever Evil” story
There is a 70s story where Superman either isn't affected by Kryptonite or somehow it all goes inert, but the event that made it happen also created a sand clone of Superman. I don't know what happened next because it wasn't in the big "Superman From The 30s To The 70s" book I used to borrow from the library but it might be worth a look.
Anyone else notice the 'magic' kryptonite kind of mirrored Eclipso's chest symbol?
Superman often goes on missions to other planets, dimensions, and eras in time. Can he ever really be safe from Kryptonite, even if he successfully removes it all from this present earth? I hope they didn't overlook Jimmy's pad. He's always got some K squirreled away, lol!
YAY! The Batman Voice!
I always thoroughly enjoy the Batman Voice! Sasha you are the voice talent of our generation.
I like plaid kryptonite and the way it makes Clark grab an axe and join the nearest logging camp.
I'll admit I haven't read this one but I do appreciate giving Batman more of a personality then just tortured soul just fighting crime or playboy.
“Why’d you decommission the Power Girl robot?”
It got….sticky.
My favorite kryptonite is Periwinkle of course! How else is Clark ever going to cut loose and stop being such a square man?
Sasha’s Batman voice is like rule 43 (the opposite of 34): “if you can imagine it - there is a glorious heart-felt and hilarious imitation of it that you love for all the wholesome reasons”.
They tried to get rid of Kryptonite in the 70's and it ended up coming back.
Because writers and editors are loud.
Superman ate a chunk like it was a Snickers.
Take all my money I want this movie
As a super villain threat Lana’s button works fine, but is entirely contrary to her goal of preventing Superman from destroying her kryptonite caches.
“You can’t destroy my stuff because I’M going to destroy my stuff!”
How long do you need to be a CEO before you go all Strangelove?
Yeah, i'm with you Sasha, the "Batman doesn't believe in magic" trope also drives me insane lol
These two are truly the World's Finest. Opposites yet the same, in a way looking for the end results, Justice! Love the Batman voice. Adding different voices to each character as you post these videos make the video unique and enjoyable. You must be amazing when you read bedtime stories to your kids.
I hate how ubiquitous Kryptonite is! In the DC Universe, you can find the stuff on every street corner and 7-11. If it's from an extinct world, then Kryptonite needs to be rare - adding to its gravitas.
That's probably why in the post-Crisis reboot, there was only *one* piece of kryptonite and Lex Luthor had it. He used up bits of it here and there (like giving Bloodsport kryptonite bullets) until all he had left was enough for one kryptonite ring (that gave him cancer and made him lose his hand). It wasn't until much later in the post-Crisis universe that kryptonite came back in a big way, back to pre-Crisis levels. I think it was this very series (Superman/Batman) that was guilty of doing this.
It's probably also why in the 70's, the pre-Crisis universe got rid of all kryptonite on Earth by having a chain reaction from something cause all the kryptonite on Earth to turn into lead.
Princess Bubblegum hangs out at the science bar, and often plays a part in the heckling.
Lore of Superman DESTROYS ALL Kryptonite! Momentum 100
To defend your Batman-voice: I realy love it.😉 And you are right - Wallers Anti-Superman-Squad is compeltly believable (and i. m. o. justified). better save than sorrow...
And all in all this story (and especially your comments and voicing) was pure gold.🤣
How can anyone hate your Batman voice?!
Really thought you were going to open with "Kryptonite, it's Superman's Kryptonite"
You very much bring the Brit Batman, to my mind, with your Bat-voice.
Kryptonite is a helluva drug
I'm sorry but I have to say, the Zatana voice is amazing, especially when followed up by the absolutely hilarious Batman voice lmao
I first thought this was going to be about the old story where all Kryptonite was turned into lead.
I'm super curious how they explained this much kryptonite being on Earth (and so many different kinds). I thought Krypton was fairly far away from Earth and Clark's pod had to be programmed to go there. I'd have expected kryptonite to be more scattered across the galaxy.
They started going with the Smallville/Superman TAS explanation at some point (that being that a bunch of it was dragged here in the wake of Superman's ship's spacewarp wake; an extrapolation of a piece being embedded in it as seen in the original Man of Steel mini). I first remember seeing that explanation used in the comics in Kelley's Action Comics run: the origin of Russian Zod involved a kryptonite meteor shower "pulled" here by Kal-El's ship destroying a Russian space station.
Because Krypton was in the other side of the sun. Krypton was the twin planet of the earth.
@@dupersuper1938
I totally forgot about Russian Zod. Was he created before or after Red Son?
@@Crabomax no…??
@@Crabomax wait what?
This was one of the best "reads" ever. Also "Science, science, scence. Or, Magic , magic, magic!" LOLOLOLOL!!
If I recall, the Kryptonite now on Earth came as the asteroid threatening the Earth in the book's first arc, which had accompanied Kara's rocket from Krypton to Earth. It was a nice piece of through story arc.
Superman-Batman also had the first Batman-Jim Gordon-Detective Chimp rooftop meet. We need more of those
Don't apologize for your Batman voice. Keep it and the narrations up.
I'm here for the batman and superman voices being silly af
Imagine the Bat family’s reaction to this movie. It would be a funny prank if Jason just constantly kept bringing baseball bats in the Wayne Manor and Dick “yelling at him” very loudly for keep bringing them in the Manor and saying how he doesn’t want to bring back Bruce’s trauma of what happened to his sister. And of course Alfred constantly referring to him as Maser Lance
Superman gets millions of hate mail. He reads every single one of them.
Dr Doom does have a great approach to magic and science. his backstory of doing it all to save his mums soul is greatly humanizing for a being such as Doom!
"drives me crazy" as if she hadn't made it clear lol
"Brownies....in North Dakota!!!"
I think kryptonite can be really effective in a story, showing how much it affects superman that pieces of his homeworld, one of the last connections to his parents and his people literally kills him.
I think instead of Bruce having a massive kryptonite stockpile he can just have a kryptonite ring. Brings back the importance of kryptonite since there's only one piece left that can actually be used against supes. Although metallo would need a new power source, maybe a mini-red sun generator?
I read it when it come out . I was always surprise that the All American Boy and Waller's anti superman squad never popped up again in another story
Great episode! Silly but witty. I like this gum-chewin', shootin' from the hip type of flow. Very fun to watch
that movie batman backstory is so backstory I'm literally crying
To be fair, that Aquaman is a different Aquaman to the one they were most familiar with.
I like the Batman voice. As to who I want Batman /Bruce with it's... Vicki Vale! I was talking to my brother about her yesterday. AS a side note, there's a really cool Kryptonite story in the Superman radio show. There's a guy called the Atom Man who could have liquid kryptonite injected into his veins and shoot electricity out of these gloves. He almost kills Superman!
Actually Sasha my favorite James Bond actor , Sir Sean Connery ( RIP) is Scottish 🖖🏾
I don’t care what anybody says. Never change your Batman voice. It’s spectacular.
One of my top fav Superman/batman interactions
