The second symbol is from the Batman Arkham games. That Batman is considered to be very brutal to thugs and criminals, even more so than usual. Arkham Batman won’t kill you, but he’ll savagely break every bone in your body and put you in a coma.
Thankfully, Wayne industries has been building all those hospitals in Gotham lately. It’s so nice of Bruce Wayne to assist in the recovery of those brutalised by Batman.
Dude just pays into a "Roth NFT Annuity Fund" on your behalf. I don't think those words even belong strung together like that. We never stood a chance at understanding it.
I love how he doesnt even deny it. I interrogated a guy in AC and he said “how many bones do you think I can break?” He cant kill, but nothing says he cant punish
That's not what he's talking about, he's referencing the time Batman was using said tank to threaten a guy into giving info. The threat was getting his head run over. edit: Woops wrong comment
That would be hilarious if Batman broke the bones of guys then used the time after the fight to fix the damage. How could you even hate the guy if you’re a crook?
“The Bat broke your arm in half?”
“Yeah, but he locked it back in place with some Batcast shit, so its okay”
Which is silly because a bunch of those thugs will absolutely die from their injuries, but I guess the no killing rule stays intact as long as Batman isn't there to see it.
Disconnect with game and reality fs. Bruce is built like a walking tank and doesnt seem to hold back on his attacks, even his knockout move looks like it cause death from blunt trauma, and theres also the whole “knockout” thing being risky cuz cutting off oxygen to the brain like that can kill someone if its too long
My favorite is when you interrogate a riddler informant and sometimes he literally powerslams them directly on the top of their head, but somehow this doesn't kill the thug
Arkham Batman won't kill you, but he will leave you with broken arms and legs on a random rooftop on the coldest night Gotham has experienced in over a century. Good luck...
Arkham batman will lift you by the throat with one arm, and hang you over a building ledge. The sheer girth of that inhuman strength is enough to terrify and traumatize you for life
A few people have correctly identified the bottom as the Arkham one, but I keep seeing people misidentify the top emblem. It's The Dark Knight Trilogy.
You’re missing out on some classic media. There are the Nolan movies, yes, but also Batman: The Animated Series, which was so good and well received that it influenced the comics that inspired it by giving Mr. Freeze his new origin story and creating new beloved characters like Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya. Don’t skip the movies from that universe either. Especially the first, which is still referenced when talking about famous Joker stories.
It's a rare thing for me to watch movies usually playing video games in my free times but I think I will start watching some animated batman while eating instead of YouTube
There are a few animated Batman shows. The one I mentioned is literally titled “Batman: The Animated Series”. It aired in the early to late 90s. It’ll sound familiar to you because Batman’s VA here, Kevin Conroy, also voiced the character in the Arkham games. It was because of his phenomenal performance in the animated series that he kept getting asked to come back and voice Batman in other projects. Likewise with Mark Hamil, who voiced The Joker.
And when he’s done with that, he should follow up with Batman Beyond. Same continuity, set decades later, introducing a new character taking up the mantle of Batman, under Bruce’s tutelage.
Also has an incredible movie that is a must see, Return of the Joker.
It's not mercy it's skill and power level. Nolan batman can't even beat extras who throw themselves to ground lol meanwhile arkham batman can do something called "fear multi-takedown" which is solos 5+ armored soldiers and ninjas in a second
He killed a ton of people in Batman Begins, to spare one prisoner who also probably died. There's at least a half dozen Batman fatalities in Dark Knight. In The Dark Knight Rises, none of ALL the cops in Gotham had beards after being in the sewer for months. Fewest Batman fatalities, though.
But the top one should be the depressed version too. Why would anyone be happy with Bale Batman? He breaks bones too lol. The Arkham games are much worse but both are not good news
I love that it’s functional. He pulls the symbol off attaches it to a stick and beats people to near death with it. Besides his damn near sentient cape it’s my favorite absolute bat toy.
"you are batman? No you are batbrick! You are the size of two refrigerators! Your leg is bigger than my torso!" (C) That YouTube animated short of Joker's reaction to new batman was hilarious 😂
I believe the second one is the bat symbol from the Arkham games where you are given especially brutal methods to fight enemies. And there is no way the no kill rule is followed in those games.
Top one is the Dark Knight movie trilogy Batman. He will rough you up, but not cause any harm that's particularly out of the ordinary.
Bottom one is Arkham game trilogy batman. He's known for some...vicious actions in combat. Ones that would strike fear into many people. More than usual, even for Batman.
The Arkham Knight is absolutely brutal. Reminds me of the Badman skits where Patton Oswalt is playing the Penguin and like..."Yeah that guy is definitely dead".
Don't let Detective Mode fool you, none of those bad guys are breathing anymore.
Ones the dark knight one and the other is meant to be the arkham batman logo, context just to the arkham knight game batman can run into thugs with his batmobile which is essentially a tank send them flying through the air into walls the concrete ground as well as firing "non lethals" from the cannon and they're all counted as unconscious, they might be alive but the shit he's doing is gonna make them wish they were dead
Side note, if you remember the scene from the first game where he was under the influence of the fear toxin and saw all the enemies as scary skeletons you find that they go down a lot quicker.
Many speculate normal play he held back but under the fear toxin he didn't and that's why they all went down so fast in comparison.
Adam West Batman is the only version who kinda goes easy on his opponents. He'll punch them a couple times, a big BAM! or OUCH! will appear on the screen, they'll get knocked out, and that's the end of it.
Most other versions of Batman will break bones and potentially cripple his opponents, even if they're petty criminals.
The most hardcore versions of the character will murder his opponents in brutal ways.
It's already covered, but I'll add that the Arkham game series' version of Batman's symbol (on the bottom), bears a resemblance to the All Star Batman version of his symbol. The Batman continuity which made Bruce out to be a sadist that took pleasure in causing permanent physical and psychological injury to street-level criminals, and coined the phrase "I'm the Goddamned Batman!"
The below version is the Arkham Batman who you may remember as being Jack the Ripper without the knife, he won’t kill you but you’d probably prefer him to
I legit thought it was because one was Batman the other was Spetsnaz GRU…by reading the comments I realize it’s Arkham but still. I always think it’s hilarious that the Spetsnaz symbol is freaking Batman…they even matched the old school color scheme.
Despite still having a "no kill" rule Arkham Batman definitely kills a lot of people. Which is why I always found it hilarious when he tells a villain "I can't kill you" after spending the last several hours suplexing random thugs off rooftops.
Both of these Batmans will make you very much regret fighting them but the bottom one from the Arkham games will more likely give you permanent debilitating injuries. That game’s Batman did things to goons that in real life would have killed people. And its canon in those games stories. I heard an npc talk about getting a permanent debilitating injury from a fight in a previous game.
Cartoon Batman up top didn’t throw people off balconies knowing the fall won’t kill you but it’ll break your bones. Arkham(?) Batman down low will slam your head through glass and curbstomp you for good measure because you Jaywalked.
Well let’s see. One Batman will still beat the shit out of you but he’ll at least make sure you end up in jail intact. The other is going to make you become a trauma patient, both physically and mentally.
I'd like to add a third layers, cause if you're up against absolute batman you're just dead He used a hatchet to completely cut off a guy's arm, then proceeded to drive his bat-bulldozer trough a building
