Am I the only one that liked having Joker by my side? He literally was like a sidekick. Whenever I was stuck he'd give me a hint and I'd be like "OH RIGHT YEAH THANKS JOKER" It was sad to see him go lol
People weren't upset that he was in the main trilogy they were upset because they crowbarred him & his origin into Arkham Origins after claiming that he wouldn't be in it.
blackdemonknight I thought it was pretty obvious he'd be in as a hallucination. I mean, in the comics Batman hallucinated about Jason Todd's death when Scarecrow gassed him immediately afterwards. I figured it'd be the same case with Joker and Talia here. Speaking of which, why doesn't Talia show up during any Fear Gas segments?
CheesyGranola I think it's cause the fear toxin was affecting the Joker Blood inside Bruce given that Batman was focused on getting a cure for himself and the other Joker's and worried about becoming the new joker hence those times Joker comments about getting stronger via the toxin, ironic since that same toxin helped Batman finally defeat the Joker
Some say in order to pull off the best character voice you can, you sometimes have to literally become the character your voicing....sometimes however, that can have some minor...to severe side effects as you'd imagine literally creating another you inside your head...this game even kinda emphasizes this.
There’s a compilation of Mark absolutely SHITTING on the newer Star Wars movies meanwhile in the behind the scenes of Arkham City he’s having the most fun! He’s smiling and physically acting with the script. Makes my heart happy

Yeah, I know. It's where he became Joker in a vat of chemicals. But in a plot twist, Scarecrow made his toxin in ACE chemicals and then after Batman couldn't confront Scarecrow and got stuck into the chamber and gets gased a bit of the toxin he started to encounter the hallucination of Joker and he still had his blood since the events of Arkham City even though Batman drank the cure in the end of City to feel better.
Very well written game. These scenes really display how well Batman knew Joker. His sub conscience version of the Joker was indistinguishable from the real one. He also knew the Batman’s vulnerabilities and insecurities and made jokes on them. Very good writting
I mean yes and no. Knowing that Joker's infected blood literally turns people into...himself...It's the disease aided by Bruce's sub conscience and perception of Joker. And, even worse, with the fear toxin, his fears are added to the mix. That is why Batman had such an awful time against Scarecrow in Knight but not in Asylum (His fears changed and his resolve was weakened due to Joker's blood)
38:00 I just realized “Only You” started playing in the background when Joker exited his vehicle. If you didn’t know, at the end of Arkham City, Joker left a voicemail for Batman, three hours before he died, of him singing “Only You”
Another little detail, at 23:47 robin is on batman's right and joker on his left when deciding whether to go in the cell or not. Like angel and demon on either side when deciding whether to do the right thing or wrong thing.
I think the laughter in the background is a nice touch. It really accentuates the fact that the Joker is in Batman’s head like a ghost who won’t stop haunting him. Literally

I am shocked how well they were able to keep this a secret for 2 years, I mean this is the internet. We know the games that are going to be announced before the actual people making it knows they're making it. Yet we never knew that not only would Joker be in Arkham Knight as a central villain but that Mark Hammil would return one more time to give Joker the final send off.Also bummer ending seeing Batman pull a Dark Knight Returns at the end
The ZombieMan I think the Secret from Sony that the Final Fantasy 7 Remake being under wraps was a crazier secret to hold for about a year. That was a shock.
The ZombieMan I actually like it. That means they are brining the story to the end and there is no need to speculate further. It's the only logical thing Batman could have done.
The ZombieMan Right, but I wouldn't call him a central villain. He doesn't drive the plot. He doesn't do anything, except in flashbacks. He's just there, cracking jokes here and there, and showing how Batman reacts to the fear toxin. Still liked him, though.
Without having played this game, I'm liking this. Some people prefer the idea of Batman being mentally perfect, personally I like to see a weakness every now and again. And here they show that yes, even for batman, things can creep into his mind every now and again, and he still doesn't really let it show.
Crimson Ace I don't think anyone believes Batman is mentally perfect. Joker has got it right all along, Bats is traumatized and has the need to protect the city that did that to him.
+Crimson Ace While this last game wasn't exactly mind-blowing, the Arkham series in general is good in showing the flaws of even this incredibly strong Batman: his pride in thinking he can save the city without help, plus his love for and protectiveness over the small family that he has, forces him to push people away. His pride was well shown in "Arkham Origins," while Robin's and Catwoman's interactions with Batman are good demonstrations of the burden of pushing away allies in "Arkham Knight."
Batman is flawed. He dresses like a god damn bat. He's obsessive over his crusade. Most people move on with their lives, he never let his parents murder go. He's still stuck in the last, still full of fear. I used to want to be like Batman, but then you realise he's fucking miserable. There is no happy ending for him, at least not for this batman. He will keep on fighting his crusade until he dies, and when his body no longer let's him, he will be alone.
Batman is a grown man pummeling mentally ill criminals in the rain to compensate for the deep psychological trauma caused by his parents' murder by a petty criminal which he never managed to get over, arguably making the crime situation in Gotham much worse with his vigilante justice. He's a man who constantly lingers on his depressing past, making his life utterly miserable in a mental sense. In some interpretations, he even finds moving on and living a content, happy life to be some kind of betrayal to his parents. He's far from mentally perfect. His whole character is that he is a very mentally unstable person.
Take me on home to the asylum Never alone in the asylum Anarchy ruled, it was wild but through it all, you never smiled Jokes on you, I'm in your head so look who's laughing now Remember in Arkham City I killed your girl, so pretty That was the night you let me die but when I looked you in the eye That's when I knew we'd be together Look who's laughing now! I'm stuck in your head and I'm laughing I filled you with dread and I can't stop laughing Your parents are dead and I can't stop laughing What else can I do? Now I am part of you I am the clown prince of crime and we've had a hell of a time You part of me, I'm part of you and now there's nothing left to do
One thing I really liked about this was that it was, on some level, up in the air until the twist with Henry as to what exactly is really going on (and I'd say, still kind of even from that point). I read it as a bit of a self-fulfilling psychological prophecy. Batman thinks he's been infused with enough Joker-blood to transform him, and the prospect of the Joker running around with his body is absolutely terrifying. So when he gets dosed with fear gas, his mind begins implanting the possibility onto his perception of reality, and overriding his own mind in some cases (the bit on the airship, in particular). It's driving home the point that Batman is more than a little crazy in a way that he makes sure no-one ever notices. I also love that as much as they explored the possibility that Batman is quite fucking crazy, they also dipped into Joker's mind and asked "What could possibly scare this guy?" The brilliance of the answers they came up with is that they're the same things that scare anybody; death, irrelevancy, and the Goddamn Batman.
ISchulz Nice analysis. In Batman's case having Joker's blood in him as well as being sprayed with Scarecrow's fear toxin turned out to be a bad combination.
ISchulz so he is afraid of death but he want to die at hands of batman .. irrelevancy perhaps but ain't the point that joker gets how meaningless that is? and the batman? really ? wasn't he the one that laugh at him ? ..that sound more to me like the story is trying to force batman as the answer to all questions like how we see scarecrow is also afraid of batman .. i
Joker is like Voldermort but somehow this tine he gelos Batman and Boldu never helped Harry might be a helpfull for destroying another part of his Soul Who was inside Harry Potter in HP 7 Part 2
I'm a few years late, but I've just noticed: in Barbara's 'death' scene, Joker actually pushes the gun. If you pay attention to that detail, you could realize that her death wasn't real from the very beginning. Incredible attention to detail there, bravo!
@@ktsm I'm a year late but wasn't that whole thing a hallucination? Which means the Joker really did push the gun because... He's also a hallucination?
@@panonymousbloom5405 When you go back after seeing Barbara still alive, you see the corpse of some random militia grunt on the chair, the implication being that Batman hallucinated the grunt as Barbara (Same as how he hallucinated a random Arkham guard as Gordon in Asylum's first Scarecrow encounter).
A bit late but here we go. Crane also never does a specific mention to what is happening until Batman calls for Barbara, then he says "you see it now". And keeps speaking based on Batman's reactions. A little subtle way of saying it ain't real and Crane is using his psychiatrist abilities to guess what Batman sees, using his taunts and words in order to condition Batman to see what he wants him to see. Basically, Barbara commiting suicide.
The fact that Joker helps you from time to time with hints and what not shows you not only does Batman have a little bit of Joker inside him, but Joker has a little bit of Batman inside him as well. Their two sides of the same card.
Alfred Pennyworth quote from "The Dark Knight 2008" 39:20 "Some men aren't looking for anything logical." "They can't be bought. Bullied. Reasoned. Or Negociated with." "SOME MEN JUST WANTED TO WATCH THE WORLD BURN"
I find it strange that in the scene with Barbara's "death", Batman didn't realise that "joker" physically moved the gun towards Barbara, he should have noticed that something was off.
Fear toxin isn't just pure fear, it also gives massive headaches that barely allow anyone to think straight. This is specially true with the new formula in Knight, as seen by Owens stumbling in the diner in the intro or how the mooks die naturally in the Cloudburst
Love just how scared and shocked the Scarecrow looks like at 40:37-40:57 when Joker laugh at his face, because it shows that for all his theatrics and monologues about being the master of fear, the Scarecrow is really just a wannabe compared to the true master of fear that's the Joker, because he represent the inner, chaotic darkness of the human nature that we all fears will one day consume us all and make us destroy the world as we know it, while the Scarecrow just somebody who tries and ultimately fails to tame and control that same darkness.
It's also the fact the the person in reality who's laughing in his face..is Batman. You're whole plan has been to make the emotionless man scared, and he starts cracking wise and laughing in your face? That's how you know what evers happening, you've lost.
He doesn’t know it’s Joker who’s he talking to. Joker is immune to the fear toxin but when the real Batman appears to try to regain control of his own body that’s when Joker started to fear. He’s afraid of being forgotten.
Ironically enough, Scarecrow is objectively the one that utterly broke the Batman, he walked just so the Joker could run. All of the fear gas, the manipulation, the schemes, the betrayals, Scarecrow might had some unintentional help from the Joker’s blood but his new plans worked PERFECTLY, down to the last part of his multifaceted plan worked because he managed something that no other villain has done, not even joker himself. He killed Batman, not in the physical sense, but his symbol by unmasking him to the whole world. He made the legend of Gotham mortal and so, Batman lost his stronger weapon against the crime in Gotham, fear itself, the night that no criminal would tremble in fear at the sight of the Bat symbol in the sky, is the night that the dark knight failed, and Scarecrow, not Joker, succeeded in his plans. He might had been defeated by the end, but Crane won the war.
I honestly love how they did it, he still is an influence in the game but this is a new idea, and I really like the constant dialogue that he has during the story.
That punch barrage at the end reminds me of the one in Origins in the chapel, all the way back when they first fought each other. Nice nod, to be honest...
Come on baby beat me till your knuckles bleed and why stop there haha you know there is only to stop me. And I also performed a beat down before throwing him in the cell to remember the first beating Batman ever gave him
Heath Ledger is probably the funniest Joker ever. Him smacking a guy at a party “You know where Harvey is? You know who he is?”, saying he can’t feel pain in his hand since Batman already smacked his head on the table, saying hi to Harvey, even having trouble blowing up the hospital. Second funniest Joker in my opinion is Jerome from “Gotham”
"Bruce,this is your Father, we need to talk... about the dressing up" "Bruce, this is you mother speak...HAHAHAHA, Im sorry, its...its just...because they're DEAD, HAHA"
The Joker: "You know, you almost had me scared back there! ME! Haha! What have I got to be afraid of?" *Intensive Treatment Sign comes on* Me: "Oh sh**." Batman: "You're afraid of being ashes..." Me: "OH SH**!!" ((The only time Batman directly addresses Joker in this game is to say goodbye.))
"What better place to turn someone insane than the madhouse? Oh I really miss that place, don't you? Who knows, maybe one day we'll end up back there." ARKHAM ASYLUM/CITY REMASTERED COLLECTION CONFIRMED. Please let it happen soon!
when he started to close the safe on Joker, then he us RIGHT there "I wouldn't want to be that guy" and that is when I hurt out laughing joker not just a name
"Oh come on Batman you think you're different because you never killed anyone? News flash! you killed me! I was there, remember?! you destroyed my cure, right in front of me! watched me choke on my last laugh. And then, after killing me, you said you would've shared! you couldn't admit I'd won, could you? not even as a parting gift.......but now I'm on the inside , ooh we both know the truth. Yes, you've killed before and tonight I'll make you do it again!"
batman wouldn't be batman without the joker so people stop moaning about him. anddddd id be quite happy for the joker to be in every thing because hes the best creation ever :)
You know Joker's role as an antagonist sort of decreased as the games went by He was the main in Asylum, in city he was the secondary in origins I belived he was the secret main and in this one her was the third antaganist after Scarecrow and Arkham Knight. But what never changed was he was always the final boss in the main story of the games.
Technically, Joker isn't an antagonist in Arkham Knight. He is just a hallucination to Batman. He tries to make Batman lose his mind but throughout the game Batman learns to deal with him and Joker considers Bats a friend.
Mark Hamill is great as always! His Joker has some of the best dialogue in the Arkham games and his performance makes it all the more compelling. I seriously hope they cast him in the DC animated movie adaptation of "The Killing Joke" next year! I'll be severely disappointed if they don't.
Well they already confirmed Kevin Conroy will voice as Batman in The Killing Joke. I'm sure Mark Hamill will return, because he did say that " he would love to do The Killing Joke before he retires the Joker character."
Allan Romero Actually, they just announced that Mark Hamill has, in fact, been cast to voice the Joker for the "The Killing Joke" movie about a week or two ago, which I'm very ecstatic for! :D I've heard that Conroy was interested in voicing Batman for it as well, but from what I've read, he's yet to be confirmed for it.
Siddharth Jain think about some of the conversations he was having talking about how he was aiming for batgirl head yet shot her through the spine, I thought that was petty because he know how to aim if he wanted to kill batgirl he would have
After playing the game I am sorta going to miss the joker. Like honestly now that he is done for I'm gonna miss him and all his commentary and randomness.
I like how even though he's a ghost or hallucination, he still obeys the laws of solid spaces. He's leaning on railings, he's sitting on beams or crouching in vents, if I were him I would be floating or phasing through everything lmao.
I like how a lot of times, he sounds not just like the Joker, but as Batman's dark side. His inner thoughts manifesting themselves through the Joker's image.
Harley Quinn: No TRANSFUSED JOKER BLOOD business? That was the best part! And the worst part. The bworst. Deadshot: Sure missed a lot in Gotham while I was out of the game. Ain't sorry about it. Boomerang: Oi, if you ever heard a rumor about Scarecrow makin' me have an accident? NOT true. King Shark: There are so many villains in Gotham City! Much more than in Louisiana.

He's still stuck in the last, still full of fear. I used to want to be like Batman, but then you realise he's fucking miserable. There is no happy ending for him, at least not for this batman. He will keep on fighting his crusade until he dies, and when his body no longer let's him, he will be alone.
Batman is a grown man pummeling mentally ill criminals in the rain to compensate for the deep psychological trauma caused by his parents' murder by a petty criminal which he never managed to get over, arguably making the crime situation in Gotham much worse with his vigilante justice. He's a man who constantly lingers on his depressing past, making his life utterly miserable in a mental sense. In some interpretations, he even finds moving on and living a content, happy life to be some kind of betrayal to his parents. He's far from mentally perfect. His whole character is that he is a very mentally unstable person.
Tad Strange Uh.. he beats the criminals into being mentally ill.
Take me on home to the asylum
Never alone in the asylum
Anarchy ruled, it was wild but through it all, you never smiled
Jokes on you, I'm in your head so look who's laughing now
Remember in Arkham City
I killed your girl, so pretty
That was the night you let me die but when I looked you in the eye
That's when I knew we'd be together
Look who's laughing now!
I'm stuck in your head and I'm laughing
I filled you with dread and I can't stop laughing
Your parents are dead and I can't stop laughing
What else can I do? Now I am part of you
I am the clown prince of crime and we've had a hell of a time
You part of me, I'm part of you and now there's nothing left to do
It a never ending cycle......hahaahahahahahahahhaaahhahahahahahahaahhahaaahahahaahahaaahahaahahahahahaaaaaahhhhh!!!!
That "I need you" ...the most heartfelt truth Joker's ever spoken.
Joker can't live without batman but batman can live without joker
If Harley heard him say that, she would’ve been heartbroken
One thing I really liked about this was that it was, on some level, up in the air until the twist with Henry as to what exactly is really going on (and I'd say, still kind of even from that point).
I read it as a bit of a self-fulfilling psychological prophecy. Batman thinks he's been infused with enough Joker-blood to transform him, and the prospect of the Joker running around with his body is absolutely terrifying. So when he gets dosed with fear gas, his mind begins implanting the possibility onto his perception of reality, and overriding his own mind in some cases (the bit on the airship, in particular).
It's driving home the point that Batman is more than a little crazy in a way that he makes sure no-one ever notices.
I also love that as much as they explored the possibility that Batman is quite fucking crazy, they also dipped into Joker's mind and asked "What could possibly scare this guy?"
The brilliance of the answers they came up with is that they're the same things that scare anybody; death, irrelevancy, and the Goddamn Batman.
ISchulz Nice analysis. In Batman's case having Joker's blood in him as well as being sprayed with Scarecrow's fear toxin turned out to be a bad combination.
ISchulz so he is afraid of death but he want to die at hands of batman .. irrelevancy perhaps but ain't the point that joker gets how meaningless that is? and the batman? really ? wasn't he the one that laugh at him ? ..that sound more to me like the story is trying to force batman as the answer to all questions
like how we see scarecrow is also afraid of batman .. i
He was afraid of that.
Crane's toxin did exactly what it was supposed to do.
Phim
@@PK-MegaLolCaT jokers biggest fear is being forgotten by the world this is shown when you control joker at the end of the game
"Oh, don't act all surprised, Bats. You know this was going to happen sooner or later. Me, stuck deep inside you."
...Yeah, okay.
Joker is like Voldermort but somehow this tine he gelos Batman and Boldu never helped Harry might be a helpfull for destroying another part of his Soul Who was inside Harry Potter in HP 7 Part 2
He forgot to say no homo
@@f.ckemweball3000 well...is he wearing socks?
The way he says me deep inside you
@@alphagamer9505 bruh....0:40
I'm a few years late, but I've just noticed: in Barbara's 'death' scene, Joker actually pushes the gun. If you pay attention to that detail, you could realize that her death wasn't real from the very beginning. Incredible attention to detail there, bravo!
Sorry I'm months late, but the gun was probably already close to her, batman probably hallucinated the gun was farther
@@ktsm I'm a year late but wasn't that whole thing a hallucination? Which means the Joker really did push the gun because... He's also a hallucination?
@@panonymousbloom5405 When you go back after seeing Barbara still alive, you see the corpse of some random militia grunt on the chair, the implication being that Batman hallucinated the grunt as Barbara (Same as how he hallucinated a random Arkham guard as Gordon in Asylum's first Scarecrow encounter).
@@memememe609 oh really? I thought the gas just knocked her out or something which is why the Joker was covering the screen. Idk.
A bit late but here we go.
Crane also never does a specific mention to what is happening until Batman calls for Barbara, then he says "you see it now". And keeps speaking based on Batman's reactions. A little subtle way of saying it ain't real and Crane is using his psychiatrist abilities to guess what Batman sees, using his taunts and words in order to condition Batman to see what he wants him to see. Basically, Barbara commiting suicide.
"seriously! I was aiming for her head!" I swear I love this maniac
The fact that Joker helps you from time to time with hints and what not shows you not only does Batman have a little bit of Joker inside him, but Joker has a little bit of Batman inside him as well.
Their two sides of the same card.
@Noah Leopold That was batman .w.
Alfred Pennyworth quote from "The Dark Knight 2008"
39:20
"Some men aren't looking for anything logical."
"They can't be bought. Bullied. Reasoned. Or Negociated with."
"SOME MEN JUST WANTED TO WATCH THE WORLD BURN"
That is such a quotable phenomenal movie.
This game tho it was bad had a much darker plot than this trilogy especially with all this batman who laughs argument
I find it strange that in the scene with Barbara's "death", Batman didn't realise that "joker" physically moved the gun towards Barbara, he should have noticed that something was off.
He probably thought the gun moving was a delusion and it had just been closer to her hand than he thought all along.
Probably because he tries his best to ignore joker
Fear toxin isn't just pure fear, it also gives massive headaches that barely allow anyone to think straight. This is specially true with the new formula in Knight, as seen by Owens stumbling in the diner in the intro or how the mooks die naturally in the Cloudburst
I like how you can hear his laughter in the background while he talks.
Love just how scared and shocked the Scarecrow looks like at 40:37-40:57 when Joker laugh at his face, because it shows that for all his theatrics and monologues about being the master of fear, the Scarecrow is really just a wannabe compared to the true master of fear that's the Joker, because he represent the inner, chaotic darkness of the human nature that we all fears will one day consume us all and make us destroy the world as we know it, while the Scarecrow just somebody who tries and ultimately fails to tame and control that same darkness.
It's also the fact the the person in reality who's laughing in his face..is Batman. You're whole plan has been to make the emotionless man scared, and he starts cracking wise and laughing in your face? That's how you know what evers happening, you've lost.
He doesn’t know it’s Joker who’s he talking to. Joker is immune to the fear toxin but when the real Batman appears to try to regain control of his own body that’s when Joker started to fear. He’s afraid of being forgotten.
Ironically enough, Scarecrow is objectively the one that utterly broke the Batman, he walked just so the Joker could run.
All of the fear gas, the manipulation, the schemes, the betrayals, Scarecrow might had some unintentional help from the Joker’s blood but his new plans worked PERFECTLY, down to the last part of his multifaceted plan worked because he managed something that no other villain has done, not even joker himself. He killed Batman, not in the physical sense, but his symbol by unmasking him to the whole world. He made the legend of Gotham mortal and so, Batman lost his stronger weapon against the crime in Gotham, fear itself, the night that no criminal would tremble in fear at the sight of the Bat symbol in the sky, is the night that the dark knight failed, and Scarecrow, not Joker, succeeded in his plans.
He might had been defeated by the end, but Crane won the war.
"your popularity is falling faster than the flying grayson's on bring your kid to work day!"

The truly terrifying thing is, When you know somebody so well. They are apart of you. And they can reflect your inner soul....
2:16 the way he says" intoxicating" is... intoxicating 🤣😍
It's so "delicious"
I honestly love how they did it, he still is an influence in the game but this is a new idea, and I really like the constant dialogue that he has during the story.
37:17 At this point, I really want a game where you get to play as Joker.
That punch barrage at the end reminds me of the one in Origins in the chapel, all the way back when they first fought each other.
Nice nod, to be honest...
Come on baby beat me till your knuckles bleed and why stop there haha you know there is only to stop me. And I also performed a beat down before throwing him in the cell to remember the first beating Batman ever gave him
@meme boi Don't know what that means
10:17 I won't lie, this entire scene made me laugh at the end.
It was that god damn "Wouldn't like the be that guy" part.
Same loll
16:14 got me dying. Joker knows how to make a bad situation into a funny joke
I never realized how genuinely funny Joker is until this game.
Heath Ledger is probably the funniest Joker ever. Him smacking a guy at a party “You know where Harvey is? You know who he is?”, saying he can’t feel pain in his hand since Batman already smacked his head on the table, saying hi to Harvey, even having trouble blowing up the hospital.
Second funniest Joker in my opinion is Jerome from “Gotham”
@@ryanstauffer119 My favorite is his pencil trick
41:44 "Ooh, Crispy" xD I love that part
I saw one bit you missed. Just before the "So, we still pals?" He said "I wasn't trying to kill YOU! I was trying to kill YOUR MIND!"
Don't forget the telephone bit at Wayne enterprises, that was amazing
"Bruce,this is your Father, we need to talk... about the dressing up"
"Bruce, this is you mother speak...HAHAHAHA, Im sorry, its...its just...because they're DEAD, HAHA"
GZilla311 Plus the moment he tries to open a gate and says he's making a fool of himself.
GZilla311 he also left out the parts when you're surrendering to Scarecrow.
The Joker: "You know, you almost had me scared back there! ME! Haha! What have I got to be afraid of?"
*Intensive Treatment Sign comes on*
Me: "Oh sh**."
Batman: "You're afraid of being ashes..."
Me: "OH SH**!!"
((The only time Batman directly addresses Joker in this game is to say goodbye.))
10:30
Classic Joker
That was good writing right there lol
"It was cruel, selfish, and had horrible consequences; oh if only you mean't it." - Joker
"What better place to turn someone insane than the madhouse? Oh I really miss that place, don't you? Who knows, maybe one day we'll end up back there."
ARKHAM ASYLUM/CITY REMASTERED COLLECTION CONFIRMED. Please let it happen soon!
"Return to Arkham"
just preordered it today
called it before its announcement? sir, you got mighty good ears
GrooTheWanderer80 he also probably meant the final encounter with scarecrow will happen in arkham asylum
+Jon “JonThePotato” Ayuco yep, double meaning
when he started to close the safe on Joker, then he us RIGHT there "I wouldn't want to be that guy"
and that is when I hurt out laughing
joker
not just a name
"Oh come on Batman you think you're different because you never killed anyone?
News flash! you killed me! I was there, remember?! you destroyed my cure, right in front of me! watched me choke on my last laugh. And then, after killing me, you said you would've shared! you couldn't admit I'd won, could you? not even as a parting gift.......but now I'm on the inside , ooh we both know the truth. Yes, you've killed before and tonight I'll make you do it again!"
*What scares me is how hilarious I find joker in this*
The second I heard "Bruuuuuuuuce.... Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce...." I knew "Oh, this gon' be goooood!"
17:20 That's a great callback to the opening of Arkham Asylum there.
10:00 joker mimicing Penguin, gold😂!
The joker was a nice source of comic relief and it was always fun seeing him :)
"Miss Me" I will never forget. 😂I was playing it at early in the morning around 2AM or something when he appeared and my goodness.
"I am Vengeance! I am the Night! I AM BATMAN!"
Yes you are Kevin Conroy. No one can do it like him.
Time for a Batman Beyond game? Call it Batman: Arkham Beyond. You don't even have to pay me WB, just MAKE THE GAME!
GypsehandTigga or Batman Beyond Arkham
19:51 Definitively the best scene of the whole game (and the most funny btw)
4:46 is probably the best joke about the Killing Joke.
Aw, the end made me so sad. The way he said "I need you" damn..
batman wouldn't be batman without the joker so people stop moaning about him. anddddd id be quite happy for the joker to be in every thing because hes the best creation ever :)
@Mohammmad Ali the joker is probably the most devloped supervillian just like batman is the most devolped superhero
20:05 Batman is just standing like "WTF am I looking at ?"
"You knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Me, stuck deep inside you"
-Joker XVideos Special 2015
"C'mon, do something. You're making me look stupid."
You know Joker's role as an antagonist sort of decreased as the games went by He was the main in Asylum, in city he was the secondary in origins I belived he was the secret main and in this one her was the third antaganist after Scarecrow and Arkham Knight. But what never changed was he was always the final boss in the main story of the games.
blackdemonknight He was always the evil mastermind to the end.
Technically, Joker isn't an antagonist in Arkham Knight. He is just a hallucination to Batman. He tries to make Batman lose his mind but throughout the game Batman learns to deal with him and Joker considers Bats a friend.
Mark Hamill is great as always! His Joker has some of the best dialogue in the Arkham games and his performance makes it all the more compelling. I seriously hope they cast him in the DC animated movie adaptation of "The Killing Joke" next year! I'll be severely disappointed if they don't.
Well they already confirmed Kevin Conroy will voice as Batman in The Killing Joke. I'm sure Mark Hamill will return, because he did say that " he would love to do The Killing Joke before he retires the Joker character."
Allan Romero Actually, they just announced that Mark Hamill has, in fact, been cast to voice the Joker for the "The Killing Joke" movie about a week or two ago, which I'm very ecstatic for! :D
I've heard that Conroy was interested in voicing Batman for it as well, but from what I've read, he's yet to be confirmed for it.
I subscribed to Your channel 😉
Joker was at his highest level of pettiness in this game 😂
DiamondEyedDiva12 stop
🤣🤣🤣🤣
DiamondEyedDiva12 no lie he was
Especially when he said he was aiming for batgirls head and shot here through the spine
@@PhenomenalApexyeah but how is that petty?
Siddharth Jain think about some of the conversations he was having talking about how he was aiming for batgirl head yet shot her through the spine, I thought that was petty because he know how to aim if he wanted to kill batgirl he would have
I laugh every time he lock him in the safe then he’s on the outside talking about I wouldn’t like to be that guy lmao
After playing the game I am sorta going to miss the joker. Like honestly now that he is done for I'm gonna miss him and all his commentary and randomness.
Well there is a killer joke film coming out soon and it Kevin conroy and mark hamil
I just love it's just for the most part joker giving commentary through the whole game
0:41 yo, pause my guy.
*"Popularity is falling like the Flying Grayson's on bring your son to work day" - The Joker*
Long story short: Joker lives inside Bat's head rent-free.
“Your popularity is falling faster than the Flying Graysons on bring your kid to work day”
I’m ngl, that one nearly killed me 😂
10:15 - 10:36
I couldn't stop laughing xD
How I never expected to hear Mark Hamill as the Joker again. Was it even announced that he'd be in the game?
I don't even think they had it on imdb until after the game came out.
Pan Z hes doing the killing joke movie now
Wait that's gonna be a thing?
34:00, Matrix: Joke-loaded.
9:51 One of my favorite parts. Oh what am I saying, they're all my favorite!
I like how even though he's a ghost or hallucination, he still obeys the laws of solid spaces. He's leaning on railings, he's sitting on beams or crouching in vents, if I were him I would be floating or phasing through everything lmao.
"Even I don't know which side to root for now."
Joker literally lives in Batman's head rent-free.😅
Love how joker is still the final villain in all the arkham games.
I wasn't being sarcastic btw, I love it.
the are the same games
It's sad how the joker says he needs batman
And batman needs him....hahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaaaaaaahhhhhh"!!!!
02:30 killed me 😂😂
Joker: "Hehe and its all your fault"
I LOVE The Joker as a favorite character of all time!😆😆😆
I like how a lot of times, he sounds not just like the Joker, but as Batman's dark side. His inner thoughts manifesting themselves through the Joker's image.
Joker likes waking up early like at 6 am
Why do i feel genuinely bad for the joker at the end. The “i need you” line broke me
I think batman was trying to rehab him
Their relationship was so deep, Joker became Batman’s inner voice.
These moments all worked so well. A really great idea.
Harley Quinn: No TRANSFUSED JOKER BLOOD business? That was the best part! And the worst part. The bworst.
Deadshot: Sure missed a lot in Gotham while I was out of the game. Ain't sorry about it.
Boomerang: Oi, if you ever heard a rumor about Scarecrow makin' me have an accident? NOT true.
King Shark: There are so many villains in Gotham City! Much more than in Louisiana.
I swear this game’s graphics will never age
It would be so much fun If you had Joker as an imaginary friend.
