Today we test our Super-Bat knowledge. – Let’s talk about that. ♪ (theme music) ♪ – Goooooood Mythical Morning! – Welcome to the show the one, the only, – Mr. Kevin Smith! – I’ve always wanted to sit at this desk. – Oh, feel it, man! – How does it feel? – Honestly, I thought it was made of rubber. – (both laugh) – It’s real wood! – It’s really made of wood! This is very authentic. Everything about this set is authentic. It’s got layers of nastiness on it, and I don’t wanna go into it, but… – A lot of stuff. – Don’t rub it too much. – I don’t know, I feel hope and perspiration. – Oh, that’s good! – Yeah, and a few bad jokes that didn’t hit. – (laughs) – That is absolutely true. – Yes, that happens. Now, here’s the deal: with the new Batman Versus Superman movie coming out, – we gotta brush up. – Right. We gotta get super smart and we need a little help with that. I think I can help you boys with that. I know a thing or two about comic books. – Oh ho! – We should play a game. All right, let’s play… It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Holy Trivia, Super-Bat-Man! Welcome to another thrilling edition of Holy Trivia, Super-Bat-Man! I’m your host, Kevin Smith. I got the boys with me here, Rhett & Link. – Hey! – We are. – Shut up. – (Rhett, Link, & crew laugh) They’re gonna go head-to-head in this battle over what they know about both – Batman and Superman. – Nothing! – Nothing. Absolutely nothing. – Right. – The winner gets a sidekick. – Oh, sweet! – I thought Link was my sidekick. – I thought Rhett was my sidekick. Why play the game? You both have a sidekick already, unless you’re looking to trade up. – Each other. Oh, yeah. I’ll trade up gladly. – I can take it. We are not gonna get any of these right, so it’s just a question of you awarding the point to the person who gets it least wrong. You know, every contestant of a game show should explain the game to the host. – (Rhett and crew laugh) – So I’m glad we know this now. – That’s how it works around here! – I’m just setting your expectations, man. Excellent call, excellent call. Believe me, if I’m involved, everyone’s expectations – are very very low. – Now, you’ve gotta find a way to give points out and it’s not gonna be correct answers. – (Rhett) Right. – All right, you ready to do this? Not quite. Hold on. – I’m ready. – (gruffly) Okay, I’m ready. – Are you gonna play the game like that? – You think I should? – Heavens, yes! Commit! – I don’t think I can keep this up. – I think I’m gonna lose my voice. – All right, here we go. – You look better that way. – (crew laughs) – (normally) All right. – As the Game Master, the Quiz Master, – the Riddler, if you will… – Ah! – You guys understood that one, right? – (both) Yes! All right, so ding, ding! You each get a fantasy point. – Oh! – (laughs) – Shall I say, “a mythical point?” – (Link laughs) – Keeping it on brand, kids. – Using the right language. Keeping it on brand. All right, here we go. When Batman trolls the online – chat rooms… – What? It happens. He uses the alias “blank.” You fill in the blank. – Literally with your markers. – That doesn’t happen. It happened actually in Detective Comics Volume 1 #845 back in 2008. And chat rooms were brand new! They used to call ’em “Batrooms.” – (crew laughs) – So in that one issue, they put em– – You guys ready? – (all laugh) – (Kevin) I’m filling. I’m trying to fill. – That was great. – We’re gonna start… Linksalot. You do it. – Okay. – Ah, “NotBatman67.” – Smart. I would never think he was either Batman, and the fact that it was 67 also throws you off. There’s 66 other “NotBatmen” in the same chat room. (Rhett) Okay, got it. Little weird, because I went with “NoPainNoWayne62.” – (crew laughs) – Now that’s a dead giveaway. If I’m on the chat room, I’m like, “You must be Bruce Wayne, who must be Batman.” – (laughs) – Really? – Yeah, I’m putting it all together. – Yeah, yep. – His is a little more incognito. – Right. – So you get the point. – Right. – Oh, come on. Okay. – All right, rest your answers. Put ’em down, man, ’cause I’m gonna give you the real answer. Ready for this? Batman’s alias in a chat room: JonDoe297. What-what?! I added the “what-what.” – (Link) Early lead for the Linkster! – Don’t worry man, it’s all gonna be – “Rhettro” in the next. Here we go. – (Rhett) That’s right. In 1978, kids, Superman teamed up with celebrity “blank” — fill in the blank– – to defeat an alien invasion. – ’78? Which major celebrity in the year 1978 did Superman team up with to fight an – alien invasion? – Wow. Somebody who was big in ’78. Now, I was big-boned in ’78. I could be one of the answers. A possible answer… – But I’ll help you out. It’s not me. – (Link) Okay. – Okay. – Here we go. Ready? Take it away. – Burt Reynolds. – (crew laughs) – (Kevin) Which is an excellent guess! – That’s correct, right? – Incorrect. – Oh, okay. – But absolutely deep-cut full. – Okay, all right. (Kermit voice) Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog here with Superman on the scene of – the alien invasion. – Oh my God, that is the worst Kermit the – Frog I’ve ever heard in my life! – (all laugh) (Kermit voice) Hi-ho, this is Kermit the Frog. – Hi-ho! – (Rhett and crew laugh) (normally) Yeah, you’re getting closer. Work on it. – Oh wow. – All right, well, – I’m sticking with my answer. – Your answer is woefully incorrect. – It’s incorrect. But that’s a good pull. – It’s not even a person. – All right, you guys want the real answer? – (Rhett and Link) Yes. – Here we go: Muhammad Ali. – Oh! – Oh, for real? – Isn’t that wild? – Yeah, it’s very wild. – (Kermit voice) Hi-ho, who gets the point? – Hm, lemme see… – Mine’s a human who was big in ’78. – Burt Reynolds is a good idea. – (normally) Yeah, that’s a good idea. – (crew laughs) – Kermit is, you know, is… – So far, the boys are now tied. – Okay, great. – Okay. – We’re going to the third question. – Ready, gents? – Yes. Before Lois Lane, the Man of Steel had a college sweetheart named Lori Lemaris, but their relationship ended when it was revealed that Lori was “blank.” – Oh. – Think, now. Don’t jump too far. – (Kevin) It could be any number of things. – I’ve never been more confident – in an answer. – (Kevin) You feeling it? Whoa. (laughs) If creativity wins, I betcha I know which way it’s gonna go. Let’s start over here – with the lesser response. – She was developing a kryptonite – clothing line. – Oh! That would be a showstopper. – We need some distance. – Good point. But watch, we’re gonna drop a few points right over here. Show ’em your response. – (crew laughs) – (Kevin) Come on, come on! – (laughs) – Hey! – That’s phenomenal! – It happens! – He’s got principles, huh? – It happens, you know? And you’re like, “Oh, it was gonna be such a good thing, but we’re gonna have weird babies if we – keep this up,” you know? – But it seems like I know something – about the comic. – Yeah, you know something about reality. – (all laugh) – Ah, would you both like to know the – real answer? – (Rhett and Link) Yeah. ‘Kay. It’s a mermaid. She was a mermaid. This explains why Lori was in a wheelchair, also covered in a blanket from the waist down. – (Link and crew laugh) – Hold on, how long did it take him to – figure this out? – A long time, man. – Yeah, yeah. – But I gotta give a point, and come on. I almost wanna give two points for this one. – (Rhett) Yeah, yeah. – No, don’t. (Kevin) I won’t. All right, boys, the game is anybody’s. Really, it’s Rhett’s. – Here’s the next question: – Not true. – On the cover of World’s Finest #9, – Ah yes. issued in 1943, Batman, Robin, and Superman– a trifecta of heroes– are all seen throwing “blank” at “blank.” Use your imaginations… or your brains. – (crew laughs) – I’m using my brain this time. – (Kevin) Good plan. – This is on the cover? – You know what I’m saying? – Man, this is big. Yeah. All right, you guys ready to go? – Yeah. – We’re gonna start right over here. – (Kevin) Do it up, Link. – Koosh balls… – At? – Joker’s crotch. – Right! That’s funny! – (laughs) – Oh, is it? – Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s funny. You know something’s funny when people don’t laugh, they just say, – (Rhett and Link) “That’s funny!” – (laughs) It could be– hey, what’s every villain’s weakness? That was not it. This was 1943. The Koosh had not been invented, – nor had crotches. – (crew laughs) – Yeah, yeah. Crotches didn’t exist. – We’re gonna jump over to this side. Okay, I think the three of them were throwing shade at Aquaman. – (all laugh) – Even back then, in 1943? – Yeah! – They’re like, “You’re useless!” – Wow, man, wow. That’s gonna get the win. – (laughs) It’s not the answer, but that’s gonna get the point. You guys really want to know what it was? Baseballs… Batman, Robin, and Superman throwing baseballs at…? – Hitler. – Ooh. – (crew laughs) – Right? – Not as good. – Um, okay. This is the last question of the first round before we go into final lightning round nonsense. – Okay. – Here we go. In an issue of Supergirl, pink kryptonite doesn’t make Superman weak, it makes him interested in “blank.” (sings) Bow, bow, buhbuhbow… – Pink kryptonite?! – Think about it, now. Here we go. – I got an answer. – Let’s go in the direction of the– I won’t say “the winner,” but the guy in the lead. – Hold on, I’m changing my answer. – Good, ’cause we’re gonna go to the guy in the lead. Rhett, rock ’em. Drop ’em like it’s hot. Pink kryptonite makes Superman interested in crafts. – (Link and crew laugh) – Hobby Lobby? Sends him right to the Hobby Lobby? From the Fortress of Solitude to the Hobby Lobby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You oughta see the stuff he can do. Can he do those yarn covers for toilet paper that have dolls that make it look – like they’re wearing a dress? – Oh, I love those! – Those are scary. – He does, like, seven a minute. – ‘Cause he’s Superman. – Yeah, Superman. Crafts. Good answer. Not good enough. Here we go. We’re jumping over to here. – Link, save yourself. – Oh, I decided to go against my instinct and change my answer. I’m saying “the fellas!” – (Rhett) Oh, wow. Okay, I see it. – (Kevin) Oh my lord. – I don’t know, that would be… unexpected! – What year is this that you’re gonna say – something like this, man? – (crew laughs) You gotta get with the times! That’s old thinking. – Oh wait, it is. It’s actually “fellas.” – (all laugh) The response is “men!” Go figure. This happened in an issue of Supergirl, Volume 479 takes place in an alternate timeline– very alternate– where Superman is exposed to pink kryptonite. One scene features Superman flirting with – photojournalist Jimmy Olsen. – Really! Here’s an actual line: “Did I ever tell you how smashing you look in bow ties, Jimmy? By the way, that’s a fabulous window treatment you put together. ” – (Link and crew laugh) – Really! – That’s a line in the actual comic. – That’s amazing! – Fabulous window treatment. – Not only do you win that round, but because you got it right, you didn’t win by default with a funny answer, I’m gonna – give you two points. – (laughs) – Oh no! – So that means we’re both tied, – three and three. – Woo! – Okay, all right. – Look how things work out. – Okay. – I am thrilled! ♪ (cartoon music) ♪ Okay, man, every good superhero has lightning involved in their life somehow, so of course we have a lightning round. What I’m gonna do is read off the names of villains and all either of you have to do is identify which hero they belong to: Batman or Superman. Aaaaaand here we go.

I definitely am. – (crew laughs) – Good plan, though. – It might be a good strategy. – It’s a good call. It is a good call. – (Rhett) It might be a great strategy. – Batman is the answer to everything. – It might be a great strategy. And… The Calculator. – (Rhett) Superman. – (Link) Batman. Professor Hamilton. – (Rhett) Batman. – (Link) Batman. Crazy Quilt. – (Rhett) Superman. – (Link) Batman. – I’m just saying “Batman, Superman.” – I see that. – (laughs) – I’ve been noticing you’re alternating back and forth.

Now you said “Batman” first, and you added Superman. You committed to – “Batman Batman” in advance. – (Link laughs) Like the way Babe Ruth pointed to that field and was like, “I’m gonna hit it there.” – I went with Batman. – (Kevin) You stick with Batman. – I’m going “Batman” across the board. – Done. – Done. – And the winner is… – Rhett, man!
