🦇 Batman’s Tech: 20 Milestones from Utility to Ultimate

This whole series started because of my brother, David. He’s deep into Batman — like, knows-every-appearance-in-the-DC-Universe deep. He once showed me a book that tracked every comic Batman was in, across every title and timeline. He said, “There’s so much to Batman, it’s worth doing a series just to explore it.” He was right.

So I did. This 20-part series breaks down the evolution of Batman’s gear — the belts, suits, drones, weapons, and god-tier armor that make him not just a vigilante, but someone who can go toe-to-toe with the most powerful beings in DC. No powers, just preparation, tech… and paranoia.

Every short is a new chapter in how Batman stayed human but became unstoppable. Whether it’s the campy 1960s tools or the nightmare suits from the Dark Multiverse, this is a full-circle look at the Bat-arsenal.

🛠️ Start here — from the belt that started it all to the gear of Batman’s darkest form:

🔢 Batman’s Tech: 20 Milestones from Utility to Ultimate
20. Utility Belt
Smoke bombs, Batarangs, grapples — the foundation of Batman’s legend. No powers, just strategy.

19. Gas Pellets
From knockouts to cover escapes, these simple tools became a signature Gotham vanish trick.

18. Batarang and Grappling Gun
More than just cool toys — these tools changed rooftop movement forever and became cinematic icons.

17. Silly 1960s Gadgets
Shark repellent spray, bat-labels on everything — a campy era, but it laid the groundwork for the Bat-brand.

16. Armored Suit (The Dark Knight Returns)
Built for one purpose: take on Superman. Heavy, brutal, and iconic in every way.

15. Infrared and Night Vision Upgrades (1980s–90s)
These quiet upgrades let Batman see where no one else could — and strike first in the dark.

14. EMP & Hacking Tools
Batman doesn’t just punch — he disables, disarms, and hacks into systems before the fight even starts.

13. Bat-Sonar Suit (Batman Begins)
A cinematic upgrade with echolocation tech and stealth plating — pure Nolan-style utility.

12. Kryptonite Contingency Gear
Designed with one target in mind — Superman. Batman’s “just in case” gear is always ready.

11. Justice League Tech Integration
Working with gods means leveling up — this gear borrows from League tech to match their threats.

10. Hellbat Suit (Built for Apokolips Battles)
Crafted by the Justice League, this armor let Batman survive hellish warzones… at a serious cost.

9. Insider Suit (Mimics Justice League Powers)
Batman channels the powers of the League — Flash speed, Lantern light, Kryptonian strength — all in one suit.

8. Batwing and Remote Bat-Drones
When Batman isn’t in the sky, his tech is. Drones, gliders, and aircraft all tied into his mission.

7. Stealth Camouflage and Nano-Tech Armor
This suit blends invisibility with adaptive defense — Batman becomes a ghost in the battlefield.

6. Beyond Suit (Batman Beyond Era)
Sleek, whisper-quiet, and lethal. This suit redefined Batman for the future.

5. Final Batsuit (Endgame Arc)
A final evolution in the comics — sleek, powerful, and symbolic of Batman at peak form.

4. White Lantern Batman (Brief but Insane Power)
For a flash in time, Batman carried the White Lantern — wielding the power of all life.

3. Mobius Chair Batman (Omniscient Phase)
He didn’t just know everything. He became the one being who couldn’t be surprised.

2. Devastator Suit (Batman Fused with Doomsday)
In a twisted world, Bruce becomes a monster to fight a monster — this suit is pure destruction.

1. Batman Who Laughs’ Gear (Dark Multiverse Horror Tech)
The darkest Batman imaginable — and his gear reflects it. Barbed, blood-soaked, and built to spread chaos.

🎙️ Dylan & Baez: The Lyrics Between Them — A 10-Part Short Series

After months of working on other topics, I came back to Dylan and Baez — and immediately felt why this series needed to be finished. These two weren’t just folk icons. They were two artists bound together by politics, poetry, and the quiet kind of heartbreak that doesn’t always get spoken… but always shows up in the songs.

This series took time. I spent hours designing the frontice and building chapter covers that would hold the weight of the lyrics. Each one became a kind of emotional lens — a way to visually represent what was happening between them beneath the music. Getting reacquainted with their story wasn’t just nostalgic — it felt necessary.

The concept is simple: 10 songs. 10 messages. Sometimes they were writing to each other. Sometimes at each other. Every track says something deeper when you know the context — and this series is about drawing that out.

Coming back to this project reminded me why I started doing these shorts in the first place. It’s not just about history or music trivia. It’s about the things people say when they can’t say them out loud. Joan and Bob used songs for that — and if you listen closely, it’s all still there.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what really passed between them — behind the harmonies and headlines — this is the place to start.

🎞️ Watch the full 10-part series here:
🎼 Dylan & Baez: The Lyrics Between Them

1- Farewell Angelina – Joan to Bob

2- With God on Our Side – Bob to Joan

3- Diamonds & Rust – Joan to Bob

4- Idiot Wind – Bob to Joan

5- Sweet Sir Galahad – Joan to Bob

6- Sara – Bob to Joan

7- To Bobby – Joan to Bob

8- Oh Sister – Bob to Joan

9- Honest Lullaby – Joan to Bob

10- You’re a Big Girl Now – Bob to Joan

🎧 Every lyric was a message. Every track, a moment in the conversation.

10 Myths About the Beatles that Sam Mendes Needs to Get Right

I’ve been a die-hard Beatles fan since the ‘70s, playing their records, memorizing every lyric, and getting lost in the magic of their music. But no matter how much I’ve read, watched, or debated about The Beatles, I’ve noticed something—the same myths keep getting repeated.

"There are four movies slated for release in 2027, each featuring another Beatle. Producer Sam Mendes has a chance to set the record straight."

As a fan, I love seeing The Beatles' story told, but wouldn’t it be amazing if we got the full, unfiltered truth? That’s why I put together 10 Myths About The Beatles That Need Fixing—a deep dive into some of the biggest misconceptions about the Fab Four.

🎸 The Beatles Were an Overnight Success – It’s easy to imagine them as instant superstars, but the truth? They spent years grinding it out in Hamburg, playing eight-hour sets to drunk and indifferent crowds before even getting a shot. And when they did? Decca famously rejected them, saying "guitar groups are on the way out."

🎸 John Lennon Was Always the Rebel, Paul McCartney Was Always the Soft One – The idea that John was the raw, rebellious one and Paul was just the polished pop star misses so much. John wrote some of their most heartfelt, introspective songs, while Paul pushed them into psychedelic rock and avant-garde experimentation. They weren’t opposites—they were perfect creative foils.

🎸 Yoko Ono Broke Up The Beatles – The easiest answer isn’t always the right one. The Beatles were already fracturing—Ringo quit temporarily, George felt sidelined, and John was drifting creatively. Yoko didn’t break them up—she just happened to be there when it happened.

🎸 The Beatles Hated Each Other By the End – Sure, tensions were high, but they were never just rivals—they were brothers. Even after the breakup, they kept playing on each other’s solo records. John and Paul even talked about working together again before tragedy cut that possibility short.

🎸 Ringo Was Just the Lucky One – Some people say he was just in the right place at the right time, but The Beatles struggled to find the right drummer before him. Ringo’s style was instinctive and unique, shaping songs like Come Together and A Day in the Life in ways that no other drummer could.

🎸 George Harrison Was Always the Quiet One – Quiet? Maybe in interviews. But in the studio, he pushed back hard, fighting for his songs to be taken seriously. And when he finally broke through with Something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps, he proved he wasn’t just a supporting player—he was a force.

🎸 The Beatles Only Wrote Happy, Innocent Songs – We think of them as the faces of ‘60s pop, but look closer: Eleanor Rigby is about loneliness and death, Happiness Is a Warm Gun is dark and unsettling, and A Day in the Life captures the emptiness of modern life. Their music was way deeper than just “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.”

🎸 Paul McCartney Didn’t Experiment Like the Others – Paul gets painted as the pop guy, but let’s not forget: he helped pioneer psychedelic rock, created some of their wildest sound experiments, and even dabbled in early electronic music. He wasn’t just a hitmaker—he was a risk-taker.

🎸 The Beatles Never Wanted to Reunite – It’s fun to imagine “what if,” but what if I told you… they almost did? There were jam sessions, massive reunion offers, and a $50 million concert deal in 1976 that nearly happened. It was always complicated, but the door was never fully closed.

🎸 The Beatles Were Just a ‘60s Band – Their story didn’t stop in 1970. Their influence shaped every genre, from hip-hop to indie to electronic music. Their songs still top streaming charts, their impact is being reimagined with AI, and Paul and Ringo are still playing to packed stadiums today.

At the heart of this series is something simple—getting the story right. Not just for the fans who were there when it happened, but for every new generation discovering The Beatles for the first time. Their music never fades, and neither should the truth.

10 Things Complete Unknown Got Wrong About Dylan: Behind the Series

When I set out to create the series 10 Things Complete Unknown Got Wrong About Dylan, I knew the title had to grab attention. Sure, it's clickbait-y, but it’s designed to spark curiosity and invite fans—both diehard and casual—to take a deeper look at Bob Dylan's life and artistry. What I didn’t expect was how much love and respect I would uncover for Dylan during the process of crafting this project.

The heart of this series lies in careful research and a genuine passion for Dylan’s legacy. Every video reflects hours spent poring over interviews, biographies, and firsthand accounts, all woven together with a commitment to honoring the complexity of his story. The goal wasn’t to tear down the movie A Complete Unknown, but to use it as a springboard for exploring the depth of Dylan’s life and correcting some of the simplifications that naturally come with adapting such an enigmatic figure into film.

Discovering Dylan as a Storyteller
As I worked on this series, one truth became clear: Bob Dylan is, above all, a storyteller. His songs are like snapshots of characters, emotions, and moments he chooses to spotlight. Much like a filmmaker, Dylan gathers the elements he wants, rearranges them as he sees fit, and presents them as a new narrative. He’s never been bound by strict linearity or accuracy, whether in his music, interviews, or even his autobiography, Chronicles.

This perspective shifted how I viewed A Complete Unknown. The movie, like a Dylan song, isn’t trying to provide a comprehensive history—it’s telling a story. The onus is on the audience to look deeper, to separate fact from embellishment, and to recognize the artistry in the choices made.

Highlights from the Series
From the Newport Folk Festival controversy to the portrayal of Suze Rotolo, the series dives into pivotal moments that the movie got “wrong” or oversimplified. But calling them “wrong” is really just shorthand for asking bigger questions: What really happened? What mattered most to Dylan in these moments? And what do these stories tell us about how he shaped his legacy?

For example, in the Newport Folk Festival episode, the focus isn’t just on whether Dylan “went electric” but on the broader cultural shifts happening at the time. It’s about the drama, the nuance, and the mythology that surrounds moments like this—things that the movie, understandably, condensed.

Why This Matters
This series isn’t just for fans who feel the movie missed the mark. It’s for anyone who loves a good story and wants to see the layers behind the legend. Dylan’s world is vast and complex, and while no movie can capture it all, we can. One chapter, one story, one song at a time.

If you’re a Dylan fan—or just curious about the stories behind the myth—check out the playlist. And if there’s one thing you take away from this series, let it be this: Dylan’s genius isn’t just in his words or his music—it’s in how he weaves them together to tell stories that will always leave us wanting more.


This playlist is a deep dive into the truth, myth, and artistry of Bob Dylan. Watch it to celebrate the man, the music, and the stories that continue to captivate generations. Let me know your thoughts in the comments—because when it comes to Dylan, there’s always more to uncover.

My Journey as a Dylan Fan: From Casual Listener to Inspired Storyteller
I’ve always appreciated Bob Dylan’s music, but I wouldn’t call myself an all-in, diehard fan—at least, not at first. That changed after I watched A Complete Unknown. Sitting in the theater, I found myself captivated. The film didn’t just entertain; it opened a door to Dylan’s world—a chaotic, creative, and deeply human journey. It left me wanting to know more.

That’s where this YouTube shorts series comes in. Using the film as a launchpad, I dove headfirst into Dylan’s life and music. Each short became a stepping stone, uncovering the stories and influences that shaped him. And as I learned, I became inspired. Dylan’s ability to weave storytelling, music, and activism into one artistic tapestry felt monumental.

One of the most illuminating pieces of the journey was exploring the Top 10 Artists Who Influenced Dylan. Understanding the giants he stood on helped me connect the dots between his music and the world around him. Woody Guthrie’s protest songs, Hank Williams’ emotional ballads, Lead Belly’s storytelling—it’s no wonder Dylan became the legend we know today. Knowing their impact makes his music resonate even deeper.

To explore these stories and more, check out my playlist: Top 10 Artists Who Influenced Dylan. It’s a deep dive into Dylan’s life, the artists who inspired him, and the events that defined his music.
