Batman And Joker Star In How It Should Have Ended's Villain Pub

If you've ever wanted to see Batman take on the likes of Emperor Palpatine, Loki, and more, then the folks behind How It Should Have Ended made the perfect video for you. The popular Youtube channel has just uploaded the fifth episode of its Villain Pub series, and it shows Gotham's Knight taking on a whole slew of unsavory baddies.

The new episode finds Batman infiltrating the Villain Pub after he watched the members of Suicide Squad get booted from the joint. When the vigilante walks in, Lord Voldemort sets the tone when he exclaims, "It's Batman!" but Star Wars' Emperor Palpatine is less enthused.

Despite being pitted against dozens of villains, Batman does an admirable job. The sassy yet somewhat apathetic hero is seen miraculously spelling Lord Voldemort while fending off Scar from The Lion King. However, his battle with the Joker goes a bit haywire when the Clown Prince of Crime begins morphing through his various on-screen iterations. Fans are treated to shots of Jared Leto's recent portrayal before Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger make an appearance.

Still, Batman does get overwhelmed by the onslaught of villains; You can thank Emperor Palpatine for that. The video ends with the vigilante strung up and preparing to be executed, but an unexpected guest saves Bruce Wayne from death. The savior is none other than Marvel's Doctor Strange as the mystical hero uses his sling ring to open a portal and yank Batman from imminent doom.

By the end, Batman realizes it was not the best idea to go after the likes of Daleks and Poison Ivy unassisted. Fans see him nursing a mug of coffee in a diner with Superman, and the latter suggests the Justice League help the hero the next time he faces the Villain Pub. Unsurprisingly, Batman is all for the suggestion.
