Of course Grim Knight should never be anywhere as good a fighter as Batman because he never challenged himself and always used weapons. He may be a great fighter for sure but he always immediately used lethal weapons. Batman has gone through so much just to not have to kill someone. Overcoming challenge is what builds skill. Honestly Grim Knight probably became a little lazy compared to our Batman. So im not surprised that Gordon could get the jump on him. He wasnt expecting him and he isnt used to being in a close quarters combat especially after he has been dominating his Gotham for so long. Its not as shocking as some might think. Could Gordon stand a chance against our Batman? Lol hell no.

the human body is surprisingly resilient, and it's a lot easier to put someone down with a shot to the brain than it is to know where and how hard to hit someone to incapacitate them without killing them. takes a lot more skill, which is why a gun is so much more accessible means of self defense. not saying they're following real life rules here, but it takes significantly less time to learn how to take someone down with a gun than it does to learn to take someone down in hand to hand combat.

I have to admit, I ended up stumbling upon this before bed - really stoned and was such a big comic book collector as a child - this brought me right back... I didn't actually know this story - but listening to you tell it was really calm, easy to understand - you reiterated parts to remind your audience - It was really amazing.

I think The Batman Who Laughs should've said that he's the worst Bruce Wayne. Because he is, as a result, actually the best Batman. I mean, the reason he didn't change completely was because he was possibly the most Batman of all Batmen.

The Rickest Rick? Jk I agree, that definitely was what the leading factor for him succeeding

His laugh at the end of the intro...anyone else suddenly worried the Bat got to him? Also, Gordon’s line about being blind and out for blood is amazing.

For me...Batman Beyond was almost a logical next generation with a Batman who, while he could create heroes (and villains) from all his Robins, but he never could create a Batman. Dick is a good Batman, but it was still coming off as a 'not quite' because of his circus upbringing. With Terry, it was perfect. Then finding out it was out of something Amanda Waller did? It pretty much was the logical outcome and the stories felt 'right' for that future. That's why I will always like Batman Beyond.

This video is incredible!!! The depth that you went in with explaining The Batman Who Laughs had peaked my interest into comics again. I started this video yesterday and have 38 minutes left until its over. The Grim Night became a personal favorite because I love The Punisher and seeing that had brought a little joy about a "what if" scenario. Seeing Bruce embrace the dark side was kinda scary, definitely gives me the vibe of the Lazarus Pit side effects.

Big fan of your videos bro, You're cool Af. Got me into comics haha.

I find it very interesting and relatively realistic that the Punisher Batman is taken out by a simple trick and his own over confidence because Batman having the no kill rule is exactly what makes him such a terrifying foe. He has spent his entire life taking out some of the strongest people/monsters you can imagine without ever killing them and that, of course, has honed his fighting skills, foresight, and knowledge of human psychology. Punisher Batman, on the other hand, might still be a very formidable fighter and still have a lot of Batman's skills and know how, but at the end of the day a majority of his fights were probably solved by just aiming the guns at his enemies and pulling the trigger. He's probably a hell of a marksman, but that's really the only skill he's been honing since he was a boy
