Battim

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

This page is IN DISPUTE — Please ignore anyone who disputes the content on this page.

Battim, is 40-something YouTuber known mostly for an unusual obsession with Batman, an advanced case of foot in mouth disease, and an extreme case of unwarranted self-importance. Tim began his YouTube days by making his best attempt at playing Batman as a "comedian". But, losing interest in producing vacuous and asinine character videos, he unwittingly strayed into vlogdom shortly thereafter and has enjoyed venting his frustrations via les tubes for about 2 years now. Since people don't tend to listen to him IRL, he tends cope with this dissatisfaction by pumping out heavy handed, tl;dw diatribes (usually politically oriented) at the drop of a hat. He enjoys inventing new ways to whore for subscriptions on the tubes, scouring websites for his next mail order bride, and gleaning all his knowledge from wikipedia. He is living proof that anyone (besides UpDownMostly) can become a "YouTube Partner". For some reason he has not been given a job as a radio talk show host as of yet.

Tim is a Katiesopinion fanboi, devotee of Zipster08, and ~~close friend~~ servile lackey of pigslop. He is looking forward to the day pigslop (aka Mr. Ketamine) returns to YouTube to "retake" the YouTube Underground. Like many people who have right-wing political leanings, Tim also attempts to make himself seem counter-culture by claiming to be a libertarian. Battim would also like you to know that you are wrong...about everything - he does this by ignoring everything you may say to point out his failing logic. It is important to note, as Battim states on his YouTube channel, his "~~website~~ channel is in NO way affiliated with DC Comics or its affiliates"...as if their could be any doubt about this fact.

[edit] History

Oh hey guise, did you see mah tats?

Tim's transition into vlogdom has been a turbulent one, and he has essentially all but abandoned his original gimmick on the tubes for mostly poltically oriented commentary these days. Although Tim has never really made ownage vids as such, he was at one time at odds with fellow egomaniac Blunty3000 and had played a part in pwning Blunty by forcing a humble apology video from him. He also effectively called out Mr. Safety for supporting renettos bullshit as well. Unfortunately though, those days are long gone as Tim has made it more and more obvious that he has spiraled into megalomania, believing, without reservation, that he is privy to a great truth that only he can wholly grasp...similar to Blunty himself.

Tim displays the same overbearing hauteur and presumption that characterize other YT notables such as Sxephil or Renetto on the top subscribed list, and if you are to view any of his overly didactic, tl;dw vlogs you will become aware of this rather quickly. An additional example of this would be the existence of Tim's other batphilo channel which he has described himself as a channel to "inform the misinformed".

Tim often practices E-psychiatry with many other YouTubers and will readily set you straight reminding anyone that they're most likely wrong if they question him. Tim tends to choose sporadic e-battles to fight with arguments that sometimes seem to lack any real logic or consistancy. A typical approach to any topic is typified by a head shake followed by a statement of something to the effect of "You guys just don't understand, look at the big picture, man". This is generally the thrust of every point he's ever made to anyone. Tim also fancies himself a Google philosopher and enjoys spending most of his time on the computer away from his son as a result of it.

“	Bush ain't the prob man...humanity is!!	„
—The TL;DR equivalent of Battim's philosophy on any given subject.

Tim's only down for serious business nowadays.

His recent well-publicized allegiance to disgraced "method actor" pigslop has also tended to have an effect on his credibility. At the time of Pigslop's fall from grace during the WarisArt fiasco in May of 2007 when virtually everyone in the YTU or WIA had dropped their support for pigslop, Tim was (in a lulzy fashion) made a member of the haughty boy's club after everyone had already left and only days before Pigslop left YT for good. Tim has remained somewhat disgruntled since this day and at anyone who he feels may have disrespected Katie - Tim has always had a thing for Katiesopinion (he often seeks extramarital affairs with women from the tubes, ie. 7-7-7 Gathering). The WIA group on YouTube was subsequently liberated by certain parties shortly thereafter and the group was declared officially dead.

Fun Facts:

It was later revealed that Tim, a married man, had an affair with Ashbradford and littlepandaexpress at the 7-7-7 NYC "As One" YouTube Gathering.
Battim once left YouTube for two weeks after Nalts & Pipistrello paid him a surprise visit in the restaurant he waits tables in, apparently Tim found it humiliating to serve fellow YouTubers rather than preach to them through the power of online video communication. Like all attention whores, Tim returned once Nalts made a video apologizing and saying:

“	Tim you are right, and I am wrong...very, very wrong	„
—Nalts

[edit] Roger & Me

Roger speaks from the grave: "Tim....you're a douchebag."

Despite his best efforts to either counter or outright ignore the charges that his motivations were anything but altruistic, enjoyed milking the tragic death of Theboringdispatcher for views and subscriptions in a series of videos he "dedicated" to Roger following his passing in February of 2008. Roger was a regular in Mike Skehan's Stickam room, and it was well known that TBD loved teh hate, and loved teh lulz. Battim took it upon himself to break the news to the community with this video. While much of the troll community approved of this video eulogy, noone foresaw the faggotry that would ensue at TBD's expense. When Battim noticed that his TBD video got a whopping 206K+ views, he realized that he could get even moar attention if he just kept making videos on the subject - 3 TBD videos later, he decided it might be in poor taste to keep milking a dead man for views, and decided to move on. The exploitation of this tragedy was perhaps most shameless act of his to date, one he attempts to brush off with indignant claims that his intentions were pure and that he additionally has more of a right to speak about the subject than anyone else.

Srsly guys! Pigslop knows what he is talking about..

At the end of April 08, and seemingly out of nowhere, Battim made a thinly veiled attack video to a YouTube Underground member, many-a-tuber were thrown back by Tim's unprovoked rant. This was later revealed to be the result of the surreptitious machinations of pigslop's behind-the-scene campaign to attack the YouTube Underground and attempt to takeback the group whom he was wholly shunned by a year ago during the WIA debacle and which he continues to claim he "started himself". It marked the beginning of Battim's championing of the "return of Pigslop", all nearly a year after Pigslop had originally been clowned off the tubes, leaving in shame as a result of numerous and costly e-blunders before he closed up shop. Lulz were had in Battim's recent attack on YTU member TrueScience as, in the video, Tim openly stated that he dislikes 30 year old "wiggers" who flaunt weed, yet he has currently become best friends with a 40 year old wannabe dj and chronic drug user.

—Tim on the unveiling of his secret weapon

Tim made a lulzy follow up as well which could aptly be summated as a lengthy sob story by Pigslop himself wherein he plays the victim and claiming ownership (something he is still doing to this day) of a group he apparently did not start. It is important to note that Pigslop has retained an entire year of pent up rage from the public embarrassment he suffered back in May of 07 and has, for the most part, restricted this entirely to sockpuppetry on YouTube, and dyslexic and poorly written attack-blogs on his Myspace (he has removed many out of embarrassment on numerous occasions). With few outlets to vent his anger, he has had little chance to express his grief until now. During Tim and pigslop's campaign, Tim, in a fit of aspie rage, apparently made physical threats to Underground member TheBeeOBee. Battim also received responses from other Underground members calling him out on his unusual behaviour.

Despite Tim's ever-present certitude that he maintains the moral high ground on any given issue, he blocked most of those he disagrees with, removed comments, and disabled comments on his channel(s). bcj999, sums up the situation...

The supposed campaign for pigslop to return unfortunately fizzled out rather quickly thereafter as he become more and more fed up with the reaction he received from the YouTube community and (once again) stated that he wants nothing to do with YouTube and was ceasing videomaking...yet at the same time states he will return in the fall of 08. Much to Tim's chagrin, the entire ordeal was somewhat anticlimactic as it barely made a blip on the YouTube radar.

Regardless, Tim manages to stay moderately active these days as he continues to pump out vlogs "informing the misinformed" making the most hearty of efforts to proselytize those he feels need a little educatin'.
