What if BATMAN VILLAINS Were BATMAN?! (Stories & Speedpaint)

Ойын-сауық

On my ‘Spider-man Villains as Spider-man’ episodes, I got a lot of requests for the same thing but with Batman and his rogue’s gallery! With The Flash Into the Bat-everse having just come out, it seemed like a perfect time to try it!
In this episode we’ve got a Two-face who was saved by Batman then took over his roll as Gotham’s protector. We also have a Mr Freeze who is inspired by the death of his wife and some encouragement from Bruce Wayne becomes an icey version of Batman. Then there is a plant manipulating Bat in Poison Ivy. Finally, we have Riddler as a version of Batman who’s parents were killed by a dark version of Bruce Wayne.
Hope you all enjoy these alternate Batman takes in: What if BATMAN VILLAINS Were BATMAN?! (Stories & Speedpaint)

    @@adrii204 but the reason is more important than the pretense. Megamind is someone who was evil because that was who he had to be but chose to be good when given the opportunity. Saitama chose to be a hero out of boredom and wanting to have fun. This positions Saitama similarly to the "Riddling Bat" by way of purpose in becoming a hero rather than the unimportant origin of villainy. If the only way for our Caped Baldy to be challenged was as a villain he would probably be one. His wanting only for the thrill of the fight is emphasized by the Subterranean King dream sequence where it shows that his greatest desire is just a good fight.

    I like how compared to your Spider Man counterparts, these Bat Men (and Woman) have on average more self-centred motives, the biggest example being the holder of my favourite design; Riddler Bat (or as I’ve taken to calling him, Bat Box, as a play off of Black Box). I also really liked the Two-Faced Bat, especially with the bloody bat symbol and the almost veiny design of the left side of the costume, plus using a doubled-head coin as a fear tactic is genius. This video was awesome, and I’d love to see more from this series, especially with some lesser-known villains as well! Keep up the stellar work! Today is Day 61 of me requesting Shovel Knight characters as dragons.

    Amazing art as usual! I would like to suggest two things: 1. Machines from the Horizon games as fantasy beasts. I would love to see you tackle the machines from the horizon games but I wasn't really sure which universe they would fit in but now I think I have a decent suggestion of lore: The Makinas are great half-beast half-golem creatures that have the ability to terraform biomes and are extremely old, most have been in Hibernation for millenia, but with the recent upheaval of magic in Tayrun's World, these beasts have been waking up. The more peaceful ones at first, but with the 'help' of some unfriendly neighbourhood cults, the more dangerous extinction-class creatures have awakend been awakend with their programming telling them to eradicate everything so that a new world can be terraformed. 2. Team fortress 2 weapons as Fantasy armours. I hope this is relatively self-explanatory, perhaps Vesilia could tell of an relative working for two rival brothers fighting over some territory and they both need armour for their mercenaries. If you've read this far, thank you for reading!

    Potential other Batman Villains to use: 1) Scarecrow 2) Harley Quinn (you knew she was coming) 3) Clayface (He wanted to just play Batman in a film. Now he can do one better and *be* the Bat!) 4) Killer Croc (crocodiles eat bats in real life- also, in the Suicide Squad film, Croc mentions that eating people gives him their strengths and abilities- maybe he ate Batman and inherited his heroism in the process?) How do these sound, Christian?

And I love how Ivy's suit combines the Batman motives with her plant powers. It explains, how she can be Batman without the skills or the money to replicate the classic tools. If you make a second part, Killer Croc would be interesting. Or how about the Scarecrow? After all, Batman does utilize fear in his getup. Or maybe something completely left field like the Penguin.

    This was a fun, all the art in the episode was really good. I have an idea for an episode that involves Metal Hellsinger or it’s main character The Unknown. Here is what the story is about…. (By the way it’s a episode that involve ultra violent video game characters in a D&D story) The Unknown (a Tiefling who was banished by the Red Judge who also took her voice) to go through 9 realms with her team of adventures which consist of a bounty hunter Fallen Aasimar (Dante from Devil May Cry), a demon slaying paladin (Doom Guy), and a demon slaying witch who knows how to beat people up with we feet (Bayonetta). The story ends up dealing with bosses that are from all of the games I mentioned, and ends with a D&D version of the Red Judge from Metal Hellsinger The narrator is the Skull that tags along with the Unknown (which contains the soul of the Unknowns lover, Paz), also he has a southern draw to his voice (for research, just watch some cutscenes for Paz’s voice). Overall have a great day dude. I also think a Certain dragon episode deserves a part 2 and even add a new character to the series… here’s that idea Spencis Charnas Origin After studying the Honey-Hook Wyvern, I end up seeing a couple of knights from the Las Angels Guard working on a quest about the death of a women who has connections to a specific person they were looking for which has a connection to these dragons I was studying. So I was lead to this carnival of carnage we’ll call it which had some of the dragons I talked about already like the Fanged Jester, the Scorched Nightmare, The October Slow Stalker, and the 4 other dragons that I mentioned already. It made me remember the times I went to the kingdom where Willis Afterian used his so called dragons as attractions which is now a different kingdom entirely at this point and the kingdom has been destroyed by the time I’m telling you about him. But I also saw and interview the owner of this place and his name was Spencis Charnas. He was wearing a suit that resembled half of a Scorched Nightmare and a Crystal Lake Camp Stalker with half of his face (well 25% of his face) covered with the fake skull of one of these dragons. But he also was holding a cane with a skull on top of the handle and wore (just for show) a bladed glove which represented the right hand of a scorched nightmare. He told me that he was really fascinated about these dragons sense he was little when he encountered the same exact October Slow Stalker that I studied that was caged here, which he said inspired someone to kill his sister, her friends, and even his parents which he ended up killing him in self defense but also he was a kid at the time and I don’t know if a kid could kill a full grown adult. Then he told me other things about him like he is the leader of a traveling folk story group that tells tales of these dragons. But when he said that I did see when studying the Crystal Lake Camp Stalker that there were these lines of their little tale in the area which said… "He Drowned in all our sins He drowned in our mistakes Fueled by the flood, we pay in blood The curse of Crystal Lake" And then I forgot about when I studied the Honey-Hook Wyvern I saw these lines which read…. "Left to die under the sun The hive never spared anyone How 'bout the hand for the honey bees Hooked on the creed of their colony" The most messed up part about the writing is that they were written in the blood of the dead bodies that were at the area where they were written. Also Spencis told me about this place’s history and the dragons that he really wants in here and he even gave me the privilege to study them after hours when the place closes since he knew I was the Overseer of this world and knew how much I liked studying mythical beast, he would even asked me to create more of these types of dragons if I wanted too. Then I asked him the big question that I think he knew I was gonna ask which was…. Why is the Las Angels Guard after you? He told me more about his past where he was connected with the case of the death of Elias Black who was the alchemist who would help Spencis with his nightmares while he was traveling with his group which he told me that the fanged jester that was caged here, which I remembered that I studied that exact same fanged jester tortured Elias and killed him and now he is connected to the death of the women that I heard about which turned out is his Fiancé and the Las Angels leader Captain Harris isn’t stopping until he is behind bars. But Spencis told me that he knows who really killed her and he won’t stop until the real killer pays for what he has done. But then I shook his hand and then left after talking to him and he even asked me if I was coming to opening night of the carnival and I told him yes and he told me these four words that I won’t forget "Sometimes…. Dead is Better." Which ended up gave me a shiver that went down my spine for some reason. Then the big night came and Spencis Sang one of his songs with his group which was the Anthem to this place. Then Spencis say these three words that would end up sticking with me every time I go to this place no matter if this place is opened or not which were… Welcome to Horrorwood!!! (For context the character of Spencis is based off of Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas as a ringmaster like character, and The Honey-Hooked Wyvern and the Christal Lake Camp Stalker are based off of Candyman and Jason Voorhees respectively) Also since we are getting a new Mortal Kombat game this September, I think Marvel Kombat 3 is in order Also for a part 2 of this series, you gotta do killer Croc and Deathstroke

    I think Poison Ivy and Two-Face's design are great, but Mr. Freeze and Riddler could use a little touch up. Instead of a cape Freezer Bat there could have mechanized batwings allowing for flight and could fold up when not in use and or detach and double as a Bat drone. As for Enigma Bat perhaps save the (flashing) question marks for the Utility belt, keeping his foes guessing which pocket has what gadget in it.

    The designs themselves are alright, but what I love most about these X as superheroes videos is the backstories you create for them! They’re just so intricate and compelling they feel Ike they’d be an actuall What if or else worlds tale written for a marvel or dc comic! My favourite of these villain Batman’s is Poison Ivy’s backstory. Tying her relationship with Harley, and her concern for her abusive relationship to joker, to her motivation to become her universes batwoman was such a natural and inspired choice! I can easily imagine Pamala trying to convince Harley to turn to the side of good and/or being forced to fight her as batwoman could create a ton of compelling drama. Again, it feels like such a natural and inspired concept I can easily see it as an actual elseworlds tale written at DC.

    I always like how you add bits of story to each character as if you're building your own 'What-If' issue. The stories are also good at staying true to the original characters as well. I could definitely see most of these actually happening in one-off issues. Idea: D-List villains as Batman. Sure, it's fun to see characters like Two-Face, Riddler and Mr. Freeze as believable Batmen, but what about the cannon fodder like Kite Man, Crazy Quilt or Polka-Dot Man? Would any of them actually be more-effective as Batmen than they are as villains?

    This was incredible. I've been a fan of your Superhero/Supervillain themed videos since they always have great designs as well as interesting stories to share, and I've always been a fan of Batman since I grew up loving The Dark Knight and The World's Greatest Detective...plus its Batman. So seeing you draw some Batman villains as Batman is incredible. I especially loved Mr Freeze’s and Poison Ivy's designs the most. Two face's gives off that duality fighter look to him that's ready to prove himself while at the same showing others that he's more than just a monster and can be a true protector...plus I love how it still maintains the instantly recognizable and iconic Two Face look and I think him having a version of the Bat suit where its is split down the middle a differently coloured is somehow aesthetically pleasing, Mr Freeze’s gives off a futuristic cryo warrior look that's willing to fight the good fight and shows just how much of a hero he can be...plus I love how he rocks the classic comic book look as well as looking great with all of those awesome ice powers and I could definitely see this as a suit that Batman would actually wear, Poison Ivy's design gives off that feel of a well armed fighter that's willing to show everyone what type of power she wields while showing her own unique heroic ways with the best drive possible...plus this design really shows both the Iconic Poison Ivy look from both comics and animation and unpredictable nature that shows just how she's considered a guardian of nature; and I can see her totally be added as a member of the Bat Family, The Riddler's design gives off that feel of a powerful warrior that while looking like someone unassuming can be a mighty force of nature and a master of showing that drive for being a hero...plus I don't know why, but for some reason this design for The Riddler just seems to work (plus black and green is pretty cool colour combination). This was an amazing video with an amazing topic...and I like it. I'd love to see you turn some more Batman villains/other heroes into versions of Batman since I think there is still so much more to tell. I'd also be ok with seeing you do a video on drawing some of the more Heroes and villains as either kaijus, SCPs, different versions Superheroes or as mech/fantasy armours, since I think that would be pretty interesting...plus if its the case for armours, I think Benny and Vasilia would have a blast, and it would be fun to see Benny and Vasilia come up with armour ideas based on some of these powerful beings and perhaps even work on a joint project and make a fantasy-mech armour hybrid. For other ideas for more Batman Villains/other heroes turned into Batman if you do a part three to this; I'd love to see you use Black Mask, Harley Quinn, Deathstroke, Bane, Scarecrow, Ras Al Ghul, Penguin and Catwoman since they would look awesome as versions of our favourite Dark Knight. I also can’t wait to see how Mara’s story continues in the multiverse tales episodes. Great job as always Christian and I can’t wait to see what you draw on Friday’s video. P.s. do you think you could do a video of turning dinosaurs into mech armours? Cuz I want to see how Benny Sharp and Champagne McGregor would get along. Also do you think you could do a video we’re you turn Disney princesses into witches. Also could you try something with Apex Legends?
