hey guys welcome back to top 10 nerd I'm
Ron McKenzie lafurgey with the new metal
series bringing us all sorts of
awesomeness I thought it was time to
shine the spotlight on the red death the
evil speedster Batman now obviously
since we've just had one issue about the
guy I can't go too in depth about his
inner workings but I'll just give you a
taste to inspire you to go read the
metal comics for yourself also in case
you are dreadfully naive this will have
spoilers of course now get ready it's
time for the top 10 shocking facts about
Batman the Red Death number 10 origins
as always let's start with a quick
overview of this version of Batman this
version comes from earth negative 52 and
he actually seems pretty similar to the
Bruce Wayne we know and love however in
this universe after losing his entire
family and all his sidekicks Bruce had
had enough of this normal guy thing and
decided to take the Flash's powers
basically didn't think the flash was
using the Speed Force to its full
potential and in a way I kind of get it
really considering Bruce is so smart on
his own he probably should have the
Speed Force but how does the normal dude
stop a speedster well number 9 weapon
collector when this Batman decided he
wanted the Flash's speed force he
realized he'd need some new gadgets and
we're better to look for anti flash
weapons than the Flash's rogues gallery
Batman seemed to have visited the old
flash villains like Captain Cold mirror
master and heatwave and probably killed
them and then he took their toys and
went after the flash memory
he used the flash as a hood ornament
yeah apparently the cosmic treadmill
wasn't ridiculous enough although his
car is pretty awesome
after taking Barry out with some of mr.
Freeze's cryostasis formula he sticks
him on the Batmobile and goes full speed
force until the two become one it's
almost cute almost number 7 he's not
alone in his head in order to gain the
Speed Force Bruce essentially melded
with Barry but he couldn't get rid of
Barry completely you can still see him
fighting to convince Bruce to do the
right thing using white speech bubbles
to Bruce's read here's hoping Barry can
find a way out of there can someone say
Deadpool cross over uh let me get my
costume number 6 he seems to be having
trouble keeping separate from Barry well
there is a bit of dead foolish backing
for
going on between the two it's clear that
red death Batman is starting to take
Barry's feelings into account
like here he first wants to call Barry's
family his family or here where he seems
to pause his punch when Barry pleased
with him in his head I don't know if
this goes well for Barry that he's
taking over or if it bodes poorly
because they'll soon be absorbed into
the Red Death I guess only time will
tell
number five servant of Barbados as we've
learned in the metal series it's no
accident that a seemingly normal man
came to achieve as much as Bruce Wayne
turns out he was being used as the
puppet of Barbuto Stan Anu verd to be in
the perfect position to release the
Beast from its prison when Barbuto saw
Batman way back in the dawn of man he
decided to use baths to gain access to
the regular multiverse and unfortunately
it seems to be working number four
he isn't necessarily evil this is a
pretty interesting member of the Batman
he hasn't completely lost it like the
Batman who laughs he's just a guy who
decided he needed the Speed Force for
the greater good for now he seems to be
fooled by Barbados but his good
intentions combined with good guy Barry
rattling around in his head could mean
that he might turn against his fellow
evil Batman eventually unfortunately he
does a few pretty terrible things that
make me worry about him number three he
killed a bunch of people this was a bit
weird on the one hand he kills his
rogues gallery which totally makes sense
for the guy who has lost everything and
wants to cleanse the world of evil plus
it's cool but you know what makes less
sense killing Wally and iris of prime
earth this guy's whole motivation for
doing this as being upset that he lost
his family so he goes out and kills
Barry's family then tries to kill Barry
just because some random evil dude says
so it's weird
hopefully more explanations coming
number two speedy bets even though Bruce
finally has actual superpowers he still
insists on being bat themed I guess old
habits die hard
as red death Bruce can create Speed
Force energy constructs that accelerate
the time frame of anyone they touch
making people rapidly age and die and
these constructs are shaped like bats
because of course they are since there's
no name for them I hereby dub them
speedy bats come at me number one
he may be based on a short story The
Masque of the Red Dead is a short story
by Edgar Allen Poe and it bears a
striking resemblance to the story of
this Batman it tells the story of Prince
Prospero who in an attempt to avoid a
plague hid out with other Nobles
unfortunate
a dark figure finds his way in and kills
everyone this sounds kind of like the
story in this comic one man trying to do
what has to be done to save lives only
to bring about even more death as a
results at the hands of a mysterious and
unseen figure this is just speculation
on my part though could be a coincidence
no that's it for today hope you guys
enjoyed and if you did please smack that
thumbs up button and subscribe to top
ten for more videos have any predictions
let me know in the comment section down
below personally I think very being
inside the Red Death will end up playing
a pretty important part in the story and
knowing flash it'll probably involve
time travel until next time I'm Rob
Mackenzie lafours you with top-10 nerve
later nerds
