The only villain Batman fears

Batman: Earth One Vol. 2
▸ The Riddler has arrived in Gotham and he’s terrorizing the city with his own twisted brand of anarchy. But why is he attacking now, and what is his endgame? The Riddler isn’t Batman’s only problem, as Killer Croc is on the streets and his violent crimes can’t be ignored. Meanwhile, the Dark Knight has trouble reconciling the increasingly conflicting ideologies of Alfred Pennyworth and James Gordon in this gripping re-imagining of the Batman mythology.

Riddler is the type of man that distracts batman with collectibles and riddler trophies.

@@notanimportantperson Short answer: It means there isn't much difference between Batman and The Question if you remove the things that make Batman what he is. Extended for clarity: This whole idea of "plot armor" was born from people's unreasonable expectations of what comics are spposed to be. So what if Batman does "impossible" feats that his character shouldn't be able to do? That's what makes him Batman. Take that away and he's just another Sherlock Holmes archetype like The Question. I don't wanna see him get destroyed by gods simply because "hey he's human and they're gods so they're more powerful than him". I wanna see some imaginative, ingenious, clever idea that a writer can come up with to beat those odds. Something totally out of left field that you never saw coming. But most of you guys hate that because you are tooooo fixated on "power levels".

it's a really cool metatextual reference if you know the biology behind it! Crocodiles will commonly lounge with their mouths open outside of spooky dracula castles and allow the bats to land in their mouths and clean their teeth with little brushes. 90% of the time this ends with the bat getting eaten and the crocodile contracting rabies, and I think that was referenced in the moment where Killer Croc accidentally swallows Damien and Alfred has to pump his stomach; bats do often carry rabies! as a biology nerd i love this arc :)

@@robbvanderberry You are thinking of birds cleaning the teeth of crocodiles, bat's don't do that, specially because crocodiles do not bask at night, and as such, there isn't an opportunity to eat the residual meat from their teeth. Also, reptiles cannot acquire rabies, rabies is a disease that only affects placental mammals.

Pov : A kid just died in the explosion Rob : i love this story 😂
Harvey Bullock descending from a beautiful celebrity into who his is in BTAS is the kind of tragedy that makes the Batman franchise work when it's at its best. The Clock King, Killer Croc, Baby Doll, Two Face, Clay Face, Mr. Freeze, etc all had tragic backstories that nudged them into becoming villains and supervillains. Bullock just didn't have the fantastic circumstances or genius that transformed the rest into villains. Throughout the time we see him, he is dying a hero, just very, very slowly and in a self-inflicted, para-suicidal way. It's really good writing.
3:49 Riddler...Jesus. How long were you holding it in to "make" a question mark that big? Sicko. Still, he didn't hide a bunch of trophies that needed to be found. So he's not a complete menace.

Loving this series so far
Thanks for covering these Rob. Great stuff. Johns' has done so many great things that this line of stories often gets forgotten about. DC didn't do the best job promoting this line and keeping it going. It really is one the greatest Batman stories ever. Art is phenomenal as well. I love the twists and turns, and the bigger commitment to grounding this in the real world as much as possible. My favorite thing is having Killer Croc become part of the Bat-Family. That blew me away when it happened. Bruce goes out as the street level vigilante/detective, Alfred mans the Bat-Cave providing assistance from afar, and Croc is the one scouring the sewers and providing heavy muscle when needed. I love it! Take care and peace everyone.
