The PewDiePie and T-Series battle has seen its fair share of unexpected supporters, but we may have just seen the strangest one yet – Batman.

It all just got that much weirder.

Goose Wayne Batman (real name Giovanni) caught the internet’s intrigue when he appeared on Dr Phil after his dad got worried about him ‘acting like a superhero all the time’.

‘He dresses like Batman, goes in jacuzzis, feeds the homeless like Batman,’ his father Reinaldo said on the show.


Afterwards, PewDiePie – real name Felix Kjellberg – marvelled at Giovanni in a video.

‘He looks like a raccoon,’ the 29-year-old pointed out, giggling. ‘Did this man just troll himself into Dr Phil?!’



Luckily, Goose didn’t take it too seriously. Uploading a video simply titled ‘Pewdiepie’, he explains he ‘thought it was pretty funny’, although ‘the editing could be better’.

Bit awks.

Nevertheless, the Dark Knight clearly felt the love from fans, as he wrote in a comment: ‘Just found the Pewdiepie community, you guys are showing me mad love in my DMs.

‘I know I’m not good at YouTube and I don’t have fancy filming equipment but if the army welcomes me, I will fight this entity “T-series” to the death.

‘Let me know what you need me to do. I will be your soldier. I will deliver us from this evil. Very best, Goose Wayne.’

Tweeting the video afterwards, Pewds hailed him as ‘the absolute madlad’ – the highest of compliments.

Looks like he’s not the hero we deserve, but the one we need right now.

While Felix stands a mere 30,000 subscribers ahead of the Indian music label in his battle to keep his title as the most subscribed YouTuber, his fans and friends have been upping the stakes.

Mr Beast recently pulled off a stunt at the Super Bowl, while the Swedish gamer has also been receiving some unexpected support from Pornhub.

Hey, he’ll take whatever he can get.

Meanwhile, fellow gamer JackSepticEye fears his pal might be ‘running out of time’.

Felix has kept T-Series at bay since November, when both channels were around the 67 million mark.

However, with the pair of them at more than 85 million, things are getting closer than ever.
