I never knew Batkid beat cancer. Absolute legend.

I always loved that people rag on batman having shark bat repellent, when his whole thing is being prepared for everything, including mid air shark and whale attacks

Imagine being the Onstar employee that gets to talk to batman mid car chase.

Really this is the tale of a timeless struggle between two great-but-terrible figures: Campy Batman and Edgelord Batman.

Miles Scott is probably the coolest kid to ever exist. Kid got to live out the life of being Batman’s sidekick, got a documentary made about it, and beat cancer. What a kid

What bummed me out about the cancelled Damian Wayne game is that 1. It was actually going to feature Two-Face as a lead villain, which I think was great since he was a chump in the Arkham series, and 2. The Nemesis System they were going to add to it seemed like a good way to refresh the game and make it more dynamic.

@CodyHeldreth 5 years ago

Surprised the final tier wasn't called "Court of Owls". Also, isn't it poetic that Bob Kane was known to the public as the face of Batman's creator all these years while Bill Finger, a writer just as influential wasn't known till years after his death? It's like Bruce Wayne and Batman with Kane being the public face and Finger being the unsung hero in the shadows...

Release the Doug Walker cut of joker

Its was confirmed by the CW Crisis On Infinite Earths Aftermath Show with Kevin Smith that the Burton films and The Schumaker films exist on seperate Earths (Earth 89: Batman & Batman Returns, Earth 97: Batman Forever, & Batman and Robin)

The only reason I find Melvin brother of the joker funny is because of the times Oneyplays made fun of it

I love how the bottom level was told from the perspective of a GCPD detective, it's unique and a great way to show these theories that are crazy enough to get whoever wrote them thrown into Arkham

@alejandroortiz4772 5 years ago

This is officially one of my favorite Icebergs out there. Seriously, such a good job. Now I kind of want a series about GCPD officers hanging out and discussing theories about Batman and his Rogues Gallery

The Batman ads are a nice touch.

It warms my heart to hear that the kid beat cancer. It also warms my hear that groups of people came together to make this kids dream a reality.

Good iceberg but I would have added:
* Batman almost going over to Marvel in the 80s
* Batman Killing Joke Variant Cover Controversy
* BatManga
* Batman/Shadow Plagiarism Controversy
* Betman (Turkish Batman)
* Hüseyin Kalkan trying to sue Warner Brothers over stealing the name of Batman City

That christian batman story is insanely ahistorical. The pilgrims originally left Holland because they thought the country wasnt christian ENOUGH. They were called puritans after all

@TheMagentaFalcon 4 years ago

I’ve listened to you’re MCU, Star Wars, and about half of this Batman iceberg while doordashing and I had a blast learning so many facts about these topics thank you for the content🐸.
