Hey folks it's me Haussmann Comics, this is my brand new channel where I am breaking away from the Batman Countermeasures and trying to reach a different and wider audience. But it's the same Haussmann Comics Goodness over here,

Honestly, I think the best way to do a Plastic Man movie is to have him be animated and everyone else is live action without ever addressing it, and they just kinda Roger Rabbit their way through the movie.

They eventually differentiated Plastic Man and Elongated Man as follows:
- Plastic Man's powers are permanent, while Elongated Man must regularly consume gingold to maintain his powers (it is also likely that he is a metahuman whose powers are activated via gingold).
- Elongated Man is a master detective who is close to Batman in detective skills.
- Plastic Man has complete control of his body and can assume any shape he chooses, while Elongated Man can just stretch.

I love that he has the origin story as the Joker.

Plastic Man is one of the most subtlety powerful characters in comics, his degree of versatility is incredible. I think DC should utilize him more often. Keep making videos like this!

[carloscrecelius]

With that origin he should have been a Batman villain. Can you imagine the team of Plastic Man and Clayface on a rampage in Gotham?

Jack Cole was a genius and will always be one of my all time favorite artists. I always remember an Art Spiegleman illustration of Plastic Man standing in a museum gallery looking completely perplexed at a Picasso painting.

One of the things about classic comics that I didn't appreciate as a kid as much as I've come to as an adult is the convoluted origins of many characters.

When it would get messy, I used to just tune out everything I didn't care for.

Now, I appreciate and enjoy the complexity of older characters's messy histories.

Thanks for this video 🖖

First appearances of Martian Manhunter would be cool

[trolleymouse]

I feel like the Creeper had a good number of first appearances. Maybe not as many as Eel did, but with Jack Rider being a character in his own right in a lot of stuff, and his constant retooling with new origin stories, you get a lot of debuts.

[NdieCity]

Huh, so Dial H For Hero was sort of like a proto Ben 10.

"Nyet, Plastic Man is too Zanny!"
"What about the Creeper?"
"Is Fine."

I've been so happy to see the amount of Plastic Man content coming out lately since I've always loved the character. I think part of the reasoning is because I grew up with Brave and the Bold ngl

[strombreakr]

As a Plastic Man fan, I love the description "Top of B-Tier" is perfect

[DanielDeLeon]

Plastic Man Is Awesome In DC Comics!😊

[JustAPrinnyDood]

I really liked his origin story in the Brave and the Bold TV show, where Batman was the cause of him accidently falling into the acid and took it upon himself to rehabilitate O'Brian

[albernardi]

I’ve been hunting for a video like this forever. I love seeing Plas in comics or other media, but I’ve always been shaky on his solo outings. This really helped clear that up magnificently (specifically that business in the Silver Age with his identical son). I’d love to see him get more attention, some reprints, and what the hay a movie probably wouldn’t hurt.

Also I believe I spotted some Star Wars Expanded Universe books in the background, always love finding another EU fan in the wild! Rock on🤘

I think the reason his many reboots fail comes from the fact that the later writers don't know how to handle Plastic Man. They always make him goofy. In his very successful 40s run, he wasn't goofy. He was actually a fairly straight character, with a redemption arc mentioned from time to time. Crooks were actually afraid of him because he could be anywhere as anything. While his powers were visually strange and goofy, he wasn't. It was that duality that made him different and interesting.

Woozy was there to be goofy. In a way, that duo was the Abbott and Costello of the superhero set during the 40s.

I always think of the 70s Silver Age Batman and his personality and drive. That's how Plastic Man should have been written as, but just having a strange and goofy looking power to go with it.

This was vey good. Except one thing in the Flaspoint universe Bruce Wayne did exist it’s just that Joe Chill killed him in the alley not his parents. Turning Dr.Thomas Wayne into Batman and Martha Wayne into the Joker.

[alvaromunoz]

Great video was surprised at how small your following was definitely sharing

[nigelgreen]

Ambush bug is another WTF moment around the 80s
