My favorite Freeze quote is from Cold Comfort. "Search your hearts for the thing you value most, then despair, for I have come to take it from you." That one was, pun fully intended, chilling.
"Think of it, Batman. To never again walk on a summer's day with the hot wind in your face and a warm hand to hold. Oh yes, I'd kill for that." Breaks my heart every time.
To never again be gross and sweaty trying to sleep on a hot summer night next to a woman whose body temperature somehow rises to like 3000 degrees in the middle of the night and yet she *STILL* takes all the blankets
One correction: in Meltdown he didn't just "turn bad", he retaliated once his "saviors" tried to murder him in cold blood after his condition got worse. In his case it was self-defense and revenge to those people specifically. He doesn't even fight Batman really, he warns him not to interfere so he can finally die.
They forced his hand. Also he even broke out a dad joke when he came back for revenge! Derek Powers: Freeze!! How? Victor: It's something I've kept in cold storage
@@Rejukem Well, yeah, but still I wouldn't say that he "turns bad" Can't really do that if he goes after villains with no conscience. But he isn't kind, sure. He even kills his would-be killer and makes a chilling call-back to one of the first scenes in the episode ("there would be a momentary discomfort").
Terry McGinnis: "You gotta get out of here Freeze. The whole place is gonna go." Mr. Freeze: "Believe me. You're the only one who cares." That broke my heart of ice.
At first I thought he meant "you're the only one who cares about me". Watching it again as an adult, after experiencing depression, I realise what he actually meant was "you might want to survive; I don't."
Batman the animated series is just legendary. The epic storytelling,The animation that still looks great,The Legendary voice cast and Finally The dark stories.
Mr. Freeze's last lines in the DCAU being, "Belive me, you're the only one that cares" to Batman as he lets himself die will always hit hard. (Like you mention with Mr. Freeze currently in comics, she gets unfrozen, and joind her husband in crime to become Mrs. Freeze.)
I actually really like the way they wrapped up Mr. Freeze's story in Batman: Arkham Knight. If I remember correctly Nora gets unfrozen and is basically like "What the fuck Victor? You've turned into a real asshole." and he's all like "Yeah, you're right." so then he takes off the suit and they just die together. It's really the only logical way I can see that story ending.
@@fuegodrinkscauseusuck6100 Realisticly a woman still has her needs fulfilled after being frozen for years and her one true love died. We saw all that from vicfor's perspective. We know his love and dedication for her but we literally know nothing about nora's perspective. Grief hits people different dude. I think she's gonna be a minor/major character next season.
@@KEVMAN7987 well luckily its only canon in the show. I mean btas made batman/bagirl canon to the point where he got her pregnant so really we are at the whims of the creative heads of whoever the fuck and that changes like every quarter
I think the arkham knight did a good job book ending the story of victor and nora. Nora was conscious the entire time she was frozen and was heartbroken with how cold(haha) victor had become and when batman unfreezes her she convinces victor that there is nothing anyone can do to cure her and she’d rather live the rest of short life with the man she loves than continue being his obsession
The real beauty of Heart of Ice is that there's so much well placed story told in 22 minutes. People tend to remember it as a 2 parter or a movie. But nope, just epic award winning storytelling.
Very surprised that there wasn't an extended bit where James & Mason laughed about how Batman defeats Mr Freeze with a thermos of Chicken Soup. The greatest moment in Mr Freeze's entire history.
BTAS: Sir Anthony, we are putting together the greatest animated show ever made. Would you be interested in one of our best roles? Anthony Hopkins: A cartoon? Sorry, can't do it. TrAn5foRmErs: **slaps him in the face with a wad of cash** Anthony Hopkins: You sonuva gun, I'm in!
@@TobeWilsonNetwork Since that dumpster fire, he became the face of WestWorld and won an Oscar, so I think he takes risks with the hope that the project will be unexpectedly good. It’s a mostly effective system.
At least with the Batman Beyond episode, he only turned murderous against the corrupt company people that tried to kill him. Not so bad when he's just killing murderers
Two-Face got a serious & Dark reboot in The Dark Knight & The Riddler is about to get the same treatment for The Batman, it's about damn time that Mr Freeze got a second chance as well. Hands down one of the best & most standout villains in Batman's rogues gallery
@@bobsandwich3431 Arnold would have really killed it with a better script, a less goofy costume, and a detached, dry performance like his Terminator's (well, pre-Genysis and Dark Fate, that is). Same with Tommy Lee Jones and Uma Thurman. They could have been incredible in their roles, actually.
@@josegregoriobencomogomez4958 Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face angers me because there's little nuances that fit the character even though Jones was clearly phoning it in. Little details like referring to himself as "we", or turning around with one side of his body to indicate which personality was talking
"Think of it Batman, to never again walk on a summer's day with the hot wind in your face and a warm hand to hold. Oh yes... I'd kill for that." These hacks didn't include or mention the most famous clip from the episode.
The pronunciation is actually “freeze” even tho it’s spelled “fries”. If it’s a German last name, the second vowel is the one you hear. “Two vowels go walking, the second does the talking”. Now you know
Comic Magneto is way, way, way worse in that regard. The dude heel turns like a hotel door. The only way they got around it now, is by putting all the X-Men in a morally dubious living position.
You can tell Batman sympathizes with some of his enemies, since a lot of them went through a traumatic event that turned them into what they currently are and some of them weren't originally bad people, they were just pushed to the breaking point. Like that episode with the girl who doesn't age.
This is a pretty great episode but one of my favourites is the two face two part origin story, it really made me feel for two face like nothing else has before
This video is years old now so I doubt many people read this, but I’m marathoning a bunch of Caravan of Garbage and I went from the O.G. Superman movies straight into this. Anyway, a fun fact I read a long time ago was that Kevin Conroy studied acting at Juilliard, where his roommates of all people were… Christopher Reeve and Robin Williams.
In the most recent dc continuity Mr Freeze was able to revive Nora and cure her using a serum from Lex Luthor. They start working together but because of the serum Nora starts going a little crazy and ends up leaving Mr Freeze. She also has the same condition as him and uses his ice weapons.
ermm...in the episode meltdown the researcher who brought him back straight-up tries to murder him so they can dissect his body and work out what went wrong so his rampage afterwards is kinda justified considering that he was betrayed in such a...cold way.
That Guy Says: it's true that the Arkham Origins DLC "Cold Cold Heart" takes a worthy stab at adapting Heart of Ice to the Arkhamverse, and that the final battle there does feature Freeze learning your moves and Batman having to try different things to finish him off. But the classic instance of that fight, and the footage shown of it, comes from Arkham City (which though much later in chronology, was produced and released years earlier.)
I kinda like how this video isnt just a retrospective of one episode of animated series but more an overview of a characters trajectory in the universe
Props to the editor for using Supernatural to represent people constantly dying and coming back to life. I’m a big fan of that show but yeah, it happens constantly😂
Because he's like a surgeon with that Freeze gun? Note: An archaic leftover from when surgery was done by barbers. Many surgeon's go by Mr, Mrs, or Miss in the uk despite having Doctorates.
I FREAKED when I saw this come up!!! I LOVE "Heart of Ice"! I could write a ten page essay on it, I swear. Mr Freeze is my legit favourite DC character. I actually recommend this episode to people to watch as a short film because it's so genius. But are you trying to tell me...we almost had Anthony Hopkins- my second favourite actor EVER- play him?! I love Michael Ansara a LOT and he's perfect but WOW.
I know it's just a joke when they mention how well Kevin pulls off the Bruce/Bats separation by summing it up to "professional voice actor Kevin Conroy". It's worth noting though, that Batman was not only Kevin's first Voice acting role, but his first full voice role AUDITION. He's a Julliard trained actor who once roomed with Robin Williams, and has full training as a classic theater actor. But this was his first voice over role. And it changed his life forever.
saw something where the director was talking about the recording session where he was asking the actor keep trying to take the emotion out and how chilling it was when he got to that point where he just sounded cold and dead inside. Great stuff.
Arkham City really sold me on Mr Freeze I think. I love the animated series but having played that game first and him almost being this kind of wild card because his motives are completely irrelevant to the main plot made him genuinely interesting, I do like Cold Cold Heart in Origins too, though I don't think it surpasses the original Heart of Ice which it is just an extended adaptation of, and then the Freeze DLC from Knight I think was a really nice send off to his character, which gives him the best conclusion in any media I've seen
Arkham City, the Mr freeze fight (the greatest boss fight ever) is my favourite good/bad dichotomy demonstration of Victor. They use his voice. Helmet open, nice frees Helmet closed, scary evil voice changer frees.
Mr. Freeze is genuinely one of my favorite batman villains. You can honestly sympathize with him in why he does what he does, especially in this series and the Arkham games
Correct me if I’m wrong. His wife actually has a debilitating disease and he freezes her to stop her from disease from progressing. And he realizes that not only does he have to sure his wife’s disease he has to properly and safely unfreeze her to the way she was before hand because humans aren’t meant to be frozen like that because of water and ice damage.
That ended up being true, but in Heart of Ice itself there's no indication his wife is still alive. The true villain pulled the plug on her cryo stasis, which was the only thing keeping her alive, and that's why Fries goes on his roaring rampage of revenge. He has nothing but memories of her now; she isn't coming back, he took that away from Fries forever. The show had limits about depicting death, especially early in its run (later not so much.
I think that the Arkham series did Mr. Freeze perfectly, you bring up the Arkham Origins DLC boss fight in city but his side mission in Arkham Knight is a wonderful and bittersweet ending for him
Fun Fact: In the first episode that the Joker appears during the Adam West Batman series (I think episode 7), Joker has a blonde female accomplice hanging out in his hideout whom he calls Harley. So, that is her actual first appearance.
@@TheKingOfRooks Close enough for me, she has all of five minutes on screen with next to no dialogue from or including her. So maybe the blonde Harley is a psychiatrist by the name of Quinn, or maybe she was just some rando named after a motorcycle. But I choose to believe she is the same since the second animated Adam West Batman film, Two Face starring William Shatner in the titular role, Dr. Quinn makes a cameo appearance and Joker gives an acknowledgment that they know each other which causes her to let out a minor gasp of shock.
Mr Sunday Movies doing Batman The Animated Series. I've never clicked on anything so fast and I'm commenting this before watching the video. I hope there's more!! Mask Of The Phantasm or other movies or episodes!!!
I think the New 52 twist is awesome. It really brings him more in line with Batman's other villains and makes him all the more unsettling in my opinion.
I always thought there was the public Bruce Wayne, the real Bruce Wayne, and Batman. I could be wrong but I remember him having three different voices in that show.
Oh goodie, there gonna be a new instalment of “H8 mail but hate has an 8 in it!” I’m so excited! (Great video as always, you never fail to make me laugh.)
My favorite trivia about how Conroy voiced Batman / Bruce showed why he's the best Batman. He knew that😢Bruce Wayne was the character, but batman was the man. Bruce's voice is the put on.
Mr Sunday movies you always make my day your both really funny I’ve been watching since the video about the early batman v superman movie keep the videos coming guys
I never got to really enjoy this episode like everyone else did. I saw Arnold’s Mr Freeze as a kid before I went back and saw this episode in my late teens but by then I already knew about his accident and dying wife etc and it wasn’t a surprise nor did it pull on my heartstrings. I’ve never gotten to feel the appeal or love for this episode that so many fans seem to have
I really loved his Episode on Batman Beyond. Terry being hopeful that Freeze can get redemption but Bruce always knowing hes gonna be bad. And Freeze turning bad in the end.
15:34 Can somebody make a supercut of all the times James and Mason have had that exact interaction at the end of a video? James: "Swing on by." Mason: "Like Batman." James: "Like Batman would and has."
You guys mention how "you can't bring everyone back" when it comes to Batman Beyond, and one of the great things about the show was that they avoided doing that as much as possible. They brought back only a handful of villains when it made a certain sense, but they otherwise created new villains or revamped lesser-known villains that hadn't been utilized before in the Dini/Timmverse. But they introduced Batman Beyond to the comics continuity a while back, and just totally missed the point. Suddenly, it seemed like they were just bringing back old villains all the time rather than trying to be more creative by developing new baddies.
Mark Hamills first appearance was actually in the first episode, 'Christmas With the Joker'. Currys incarnation never made it to air, he had some throat issues as I recall.
This show turned Mr. Freeze into my favorite villain. The tragic backstory works so well. I had always thought that was his origin. I had no clue about Me. Zero.

Shout out to Watchtower Database, you hack frauds
You guys should talk about Mystery of the Batwoman, which is a movie from The Animated Series, which is kinda underrated in my opinion
Do Zorro movies or G. I. Joe
Maybe his new origin should be that he’s mad people keep calling him Mr. Freeze when it should be Dr. Freeze and he’s out for revenge
That guy is genuinely incredible
Mr. Freeze definitely has some of the best/most heartbreaking quotes. “To feel the warm breeze on my face again, oh yes I’d kill for that”
My favorite is "Yes, it would move me to tears...if I still had tears to shed."
My favorite Freeze quote is from Cold Comfort. "Search your hearts for the thing you value most, then despair, for I have come to take it from you." That one was, pun fully intended, chilling.
This one really depends on knowing the context, but I always loved "There might be some momentary discomfort."
I think the one that I've heard more than anything was "that trick won't work on me again, Batman"
Yes it would bring me to tears if I had any tears to shed
"Think of it, Batman. To never again walk on a summer's day with the hot wind in your face and a warm hand to hold. Oh yes, I'd kill for that." Breaks my heart every time.
We take everything for granted until it’s taken from us
I could worry about that after realizing I could live forever

That ended up being true, but in Heart of Ice itself there's no indication his wife is still alive. The true villain pulled the plug on her cryo stasis, which was the only thing keeping her alive, and that's why Fries goes on his roaring rampage of revenge. He has nothing but memories of her now; she isn't coming back, he took that away from Fries forever. The show had limits about depicting death, especially early in its run (later not so much.
@@jasonpratt5126 I appreciate this response.
12:48 I always wished we had Patrick Stewart as Mr. Freeze in live Movie (That wasn't Batman and Robin). Could you imagine
4:42 / 13:50 Why would anyone punch a helmet? Why do we always see that in movies, TV shows, and video games?! It's a trope by this point!
Loved that video. The chemistry between you two is fantastic
Great episode boys. Loving the bit about the late great Kevin Conroy. Forever Batman and forever in all our heats.
I think that the Arkham series did Mr. Freeze perfectly, you bring up the Arkham Origins DLC boss fight in city but his side mission in Arkham Knight is a wonderful and bittersweet ending for him
I love hearing about this show, even when it's stuff I've heard before. This show is timeless
I really like how they closed Mr. Freeze's chapter in the Harley Quinn animated series. Came out of nowhere and was really well written.
I legit wept my eyes out at that episode
Harley pissed me off so much

My favorite part is that he and Nora had the same meet cute as the movie You Got Mail.
His sacrifice in Harley Quinn was my favorite moment for the character
Correction, it was Arkham city where you fought Freeze and he learned your moves. Come on, Maso and James. You don’t deserve a big sandwich.
Fun Fact: In the first episode that the Joker appears during the Adam West Batman series (I think episode 7), Joker has a blonde female accomplice hanging out in his hideout whom he calls Harley. So, that is her actual first appearance.
That may have been Harley, but she wasn't Quinn
@@TheKingOfRooks Close enough for me, she has all of five minutes on screen with next to no dialogue from or including her. So maybe the blonde Harley is a psychiatrist by the name of Quinn, or maybe she was just some rando named after a motorcycle. But I choose to believe she is the same since the second animated Adam West Batman film, Two Face starring William Shatner in the titular role, Dr. Quinn makes a cameo appearance and Joker gives an acknowledgment that they know each other which causes her to let out a minor gasp of shock.
Mr Sunday Movies doing Batman The Animated Series. I've never clicked on anything so fast and I'm commenting this before watching the video. I hope there's more!! Mask Of The Phantasm or other movies or episodes!!!
More of a general thing than just this video in particular, nice work Ben from Canada
I came here expecting a review of just heart of ice but I got a detailed analysis of mr.freeze character in the entire DCAU. I’m not dissapointed❄️
I think the New 52 twist is awesome. It really brings him more in line with Batman's other villains and makes him all the more unsettling in my opinion.
The semi-continuation of Mr Freeze's and Nora Fries' plot in Harley Quinn season 2 is also pretty great with the ending of that series' episode.
Oh man, that shot from requiem for a dream bought back some baaaaaaaad memories. That movie screwed with me.
I always thought there was the public Bruce Wayne, the real Bruce Wayne, and Batman. I could be wrong but I remember him having three different voices in that show.
You're absolutely right.
Maso: Grab dat gem
Victor Fries: Say no more...
Enjoying a Mr Sunday Movies video only to be hit with a flash of THAT Supernatural scene *oof*
Oof is right *shudder*
I love how people say “Arnold” and you just know they’re talking about Schwarzenegger.
When you gave the hint last week, I went and found my old VHS of this episode and gave it a good watch.
How did Doug lose? Am I so out of touch?
No. It's the 30-somethings who are wrong.
"Yes, It would move to me to tears, IF I still had tears to shed"
I liked his last line from Batman Beyond, where he basically tells Batman, “You care more about if I live or die than I do.”
Oh goodie, there gonna be a new instalment of “H8 mail but hate has an 8 in it!” I’m so excited! (Great video as always, you never fail to make me laugh.)
Man, i really wish i grew up with this show
My favorite trivia about how Conroy voiced Batman / Bruce showed why he's the best Batman. He knew that😢Bruce Wayne was the character, but batman was the man. Bruce's voice is the put on.
Mr Sunday movies you always make my day your both really funny I’ve been watching since the video about the early batman v superman movie keep the videos coming guys
I never got to really enjoy this episode like everyone else did.
I saw Arnold’s Mr Freeze as a kid before I went back and saw this episode in my late teens but by then I already knew about his accident and dying wife etc and it wasn’t a surprise nor did it pull on my heartstrings.
I’ve never gotten to feel the appeal or love for this episode that so many fans seem to have
Do Iron Man Armoured Adventures, it's actually really really good.
@Stellvia Hoenheim 1) What are you talking about? 2) that has literally nothing to do with my suggestion.
@@psoma_brufd He's just spamming Marvel/DC sucks based on the comment.
He's a man, on a mission, in armor of high tech ammunition
@@strikerblitz2164 I see, thanks.
I still cry when Freeze mourns over his wife.
I cry when he cries with happiness in Sub Zero.
just watched this yesterday, great episode
Mr Freeze is one of the more sympathetic villains, especially in his return in batman beyond
I really loved his Episode on Batman Beyond. Terry being hopeful that Freeze can get redemption but Bruce always knowing hes gonna be bad. And Freeze turning bad in the end.
15:34 Can somebody make a supercut of all the times James and Mason have had that exact interaction at the end of a video?
James: "Swing on by."
Mason: "Like Batman."
James: "Like Batman would and has."
You guys mention how "you can't bring everyone back" when it comes to Batman Beyond, and one of the great things about the show was that they avoided doing that as much as possible. They brought back only a handful of villains when it made a certain sense, but they otherwise created new villains or revamped lesser-known villains that hadn't been utilized before in the Dini/Timmverse. But they introduced Batman Beyond to the comics continuity a while back, and just totally missed the point. Suddenly, it seemed like they were just bringing back old villains all the time rather than trying to be more creative by developing new baddies.
Mark Hamills first appearance was actually in the first episode, 'Christmas With the Joker'. Currys incarnation never made it to air, he had some throat issues as I recall.
Thanks for the supernatural clip Ben
This show turned Mr. Freeze into my favorite villain. The tragic backstory works so well. I had always thought that was his origin. I had no clue about Me. Zero.
That Dark Knight Rises bit with Mr. Freeze and Mason killed me hahahaha
That batman beyond/of the future episode is pure nostalgia for me, I taped it as a kid and watched it 100+ times.
This episode was superb, but I’m partial to the Grey Ghost episode with Adam West. Perfection!
8:12 James doesn't understand that saying "spoiler warning" a split second before the spoiler is not a warning of a spoiler.
I can’t believe they didn’t talk about the very dramatic way he is defeated
Love this episode. I named one of my daughters Norah after Mrs. Freeze.
