These Batman Who Laughs comments are so fucking annoying. The skin is almost 1 to 1 the Crooked Man design in The Conjuring, which not only came out before Batman Who Laughs, but BWL is literally a design ripped off of Judge Death.

And the spikes are directly referencing Malice because its supposed to match...

I mean, if it's all 3 references at once, sure. But the spikes are because of her 😭

Actually an very insightful comment, I didn't even realise but it is way more conjuring than BWL.

I hate how much attention he steals from Judge Death who is not only a better character, but just better designed too..

Also BWL stole the origin of coming to another universe after wiping out his original one.

He said “they” not DC. What if he’s talking about the conjuring?

More referring to the comments than the post. When I first commented every comment was about Batman who laughs

Edit: also The Crooked Man is public domain and the skin has enough differences to get away with it

Is it really that surprising that comic book fans jump to a comic book character connection before a horror movie connection. I hate horror movies, they are almost always either extremely cheesy and boring, or a 2 and half hour bloodbath, which is more disgusting than scary. And when I first seen the concept for this skin, not only did I think it was cyclops because the eyes were hidden, but the first thing that came to mind was what the hell is the batman who laughs doing in rivals, not some lame horror movie's character. Dont be surprised that comic book fans, a very specific fan base, arnt first jumping to a different very specific fan base. I know there is some overlap, fans of both, but they are still seperate fan bases.

I ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT THE CROOKED MAN

u/Springball64 13m ago

Yeah lol, I literally saw the splash screen for the skin reveal and immediately went "Oh it's the Crooked Man mixed with Malice."

u/Haunter777x Magik 7h ago

Mad people are comparing the skin to the more known character

u/EconomyThick9271 6h ago

Okay.

Both designs are based on the same guy, the Crooked Man. Arguably, Reed fits the mold better cus stretchy guy, but it’s not steeling

u/VicBetouro 4h ago

Definitely not steeling, that's a stretch

u/The_Lions_Doug 3h ago

He do be stretching

u/EconomyThick9271 3h ago

Yeah. The crooked man is the inspiration for ‘wide brim over the eyes, big ol smile’. The spikes are there to mirror malice

Bro DC fans are so annoying. BWL did not invent creepy smiles and spikes 😭

u/cheetahgaming3 8h ago

Its not even dc fans lol. Its posers who saw a single yt/tt about batman who laughs

u/Ascleph 6h ago

Yeah, DC fans talking positively about or defending BWL are rare. This is more likely youtube slop consumers

u/Fair-Chicken-5277 6h ago

Is that so? I thought Batman Metal was dogshit ngl I didnt know it was a common consensus

u/TheExperiment01 3h ago

Basically no one who actually reads comics likes it. You don’t think that it’s dogshit, it just is dogshit

u/SuperBackup9000 Peni Parker 3h ago

I love it, but I’m self aware enough to know that I love garbage media.

u/TheExperiment01 3h ago

Fair, I’m a nightwing fan so I can’t give anyone shit for that lmao

u/Lord_Star-Lord Star-Lord 30m ago

I was legitimately so excited for that era too, lol

u/_3VIA_ 6h ago

I mean, most of thrm saying he looks like BWL aren't even negative. Heck, most of thrm are using it as a complimenti!

u/RedEyesGoldDragon Cursed Captain 8h ago

The amount of times DC has taken ideas, designs and archetypes from Marvel and vice versa is insane. This really isn't anything crazy, it's just a Halloween outfit. No point in suing

u/Same_paramedic3641 Human Torch 6h ago

Mf that's the joke. It's sarcasm. Redditors act like they have low IQ when there's no /s on a sarcastic post

u/CthulhuMadness Devil Landshark 7h ago edited 7h ago

Who is a 1:1 ripoff of Judge Death and even stealing his origin of coming from an alternate universe after killing everyone in his original one.

u/Critical_Top7851 Rogue 8h ago

It’s reminiscent of The Crooked Man a lot more than that.
