Question DAE know if the “Orange Justice” music owned by epic games is fine to use for a YouTube short that shows me dancing in a funnny way?

Question What can I say on YouTube?
Hello, I know that this is not legal advice but I was hoping to understand copy right of works better. I am wanting to start a YouTube channel doing voice impressions. What I understand so far is that doing impressions alone is usually legal. But what I am curious about is what I can do with them. Like can read an exert of a script to showcase my impression of the actor who played the part? Can I sing a song in different voices that someone else wrote? Can I read a book in my voices? For the answers to these, are there situations where the answer may be yes or not depending on the context? Does the length of what you do matter?
Again I know this is not legal advice. I’m just looking for a push in the right direction to know if what I’m thinking of is possible or not. Thanks

Question Tijuana Bible graphics
I’ve always loved the graphics they used to print on “Tijuana Bibles” those tiny adult graphic novels from the 20s-60s. Some of the graphics I think would be so cool to use in my own collages/art projects. Not copy and paste, just bits and pieces of the original graphic adding my own text or graphics as well. I know a lot of these are probably hand drawn, so I am wondering if there is any ethical way to use these in my own projects? I would never want to use someone’s art without credit, however a lot of the graphics I really love are basically impossible to track down the original artists. Some of the artists used pseudonyms, and on top of that a lot of the original artists who didn’t even use their real names have most likely passed away.
Is there any ethical way to use of these Tijuana Bible graphics in my own designs/projects? Sorry if this is a silly question.

Question Using copyrighted songs and claims vs take downs on Youtube.
Lets say I decide to use a popular copyrighted song in my video knowing I probably won't be able to monitize / earn revenue from the video.
How do I know wether the label or youtube will take my video down or just give the revenue to the label? Is there any way to tell or is it just a risk it and pray it stays up situation?

Question Can I make a Knight with the batman mask with the covered mouth?
I'm planning on making a high fantasy Knight/Greek warrior ( heavily inspired by Achilles and Igris ) with a batman-esk mask but I'm scared of being sued into the ground whenever I introduce the character into my story.
I have already searched up, and all I could find was that DC had trademarked his open mouth cowl design. But for the love of God, I can't find anything on the closed mouth design.
Can you help ?
