Owlman Origins - Batman's Most Evil And Dark Counterpart Scarred By His Own Corrupt Parents

Batman from the DC universe is one of their prime characters and is built up with incredible detailing. His aspects, fights, moral code, never-ending self-conflict, etc. are all shown in comics or animated series. His war on injustice and his morality of not killing them create much depth about the characters' choice of path. Batman is not an alien and neither is he gifted with any superhuman abilities. His willpower, intellect, and strategy have always brought him victory in most cases. His mental and physical conditions are at the prime and probably the best version any human can achieve. This makes him equal to all meta-humans or superhumans.
In the animated series “Dark Knight Returns” we see how he beats down superman to a pulp. His skills can be best judged when he dodges Darkseid’s omega beams which is an impossible feat. Flash did manage to outrun once but Superman failed. Batman did not run or fly but just managed to bounce off a parademon confusing the ray’s direction to kill the parademon. He is rich and owns a wide gallery of weapons and armors that also help him in his battles. With all that said about the character, the question that follows is “What if Batman was evil” and that is not a very vague question.

One badass final line.

Recently, I've begun wondering if Owlman had his own version of the Court of Owls. Did he, for example, have a Congress of Bats?

[kaylaturnis]

James Woods, who previously voiced Hades in Disney's Hercules, voices Owlman in Justice League: Crisis on Two Earth!!!

[ghostcobra]

Owlman needs his own DC animated movie.. I would love to see that.

[damianstarks]

This guy is a perfect evil counterpart to Batman happy to see you doing a review on him.

[huntercool]

So you’re telling me Owlman and Batman are technically brothers? Bro that’s crazy… Imagine if they both found that out in Crisis on Two Earths

[willwh]

You gotta love how he kept the coolness batman has. Dude really told wonder woman to get off his plane

[RikouHogashi]

I would love to see Owlman's take on the Batman Who Laughs if he could survive the encounter that is

[Idontexisthihi]

It’s interesting that Owlman, despite being Batman’s evil counterpart, is based on an animal that has a less evil apearence

[danilobojat]

Owlman is one of my favorite DC characters, top 3 actually. People say that the batman who laughs is the most evil, while i see what you are going at i truly believe its Owlman. He is a perfect dark reflection in a mirror and that makes him the best batman out there for me

[derekgilbert]

1:09… did you just call him dark shield?

[thelaughingman]

I'm very surprised that Owlman had nothing with The Court of Owls given hes a Wayne and has a owl suit. (Yes I know about Thomas Wayne Jr that appeared during the Court of Owl storyline but he wasn't a confirmed Wayne unlike Owlman.

[dannytarver]

Man, thank you for showing how hard Owlman really is.

[benjaminfeld]

In the Batman comic story "the court of owls" the character Lincoln March claims to be Batman's long-lost brother and that his real name is Thomas Wayne Junior.

Who knows, maybe he's the Earth one version of Owlman.

[MrAlexH]

Can we all just agree that Owlman’s very first incarnation looked absolutely *FUCKING RIDICULOUS?* 🤣🤣🤣

[darkfathergothjesus]

The scene with Batman beating down multiple owl goons makes me wish they focused more on his martial aspect and that he was a faster fighter, kinda takes me back to the taijutsu fights in naruto and shippuden

[Preus-byru]

The closest we got to a live action Owlman was Batfleck’s suit in Zack‘s Justice league & Nite Owl in Watchman 2009.

[TinyFoxTom]

A pity that Joker couldn't see the comedic irony in not betraying Batman while working with him.

[jeremyhall]

Owlman is cool as all hell. I wish he had his own show
