Why it worked
The video leverages a popular movie scene and a relatable physics concept (difficulty of punching underwater) to create an engaging and educational explanation. The use of a well-known franchise and a clear, concise explanation of a scientific principle likely contributed to its shareability.
Summary
This video explains the physics behind Batman knocking out Harley Quinn underwater in Suicide Squad. It highlights how much harder it is to throw a punch through water due to its density, making the movie scene less scientifically accurate but visually impactful.

How Everything Works
@howeverythingworks
Batman knocking out Harley Quinn underwater is even crazier when you realise how much harder it is to throw a punch through water
Transcript
Batman knocking out Harley Quinn underwater in Suicide Squad looks like a seriously cool moment, but the physics behind it are a bit questionable. 😭 Water is much denser than air, which means any punch thrown underwater would slow down fast and lose a lot of power before it even landed. Of course, superhero movies are not exactly built around perfect science. It still makes Batman look brutal in the scene, even if real-world physics would probably have ruined the moment completely.
