The voices created for these videos combine elements of voice acting and the integration of AI technologies - Voice Changers like (Voice.ai),
Text-to-speech (TTS) technologies (Uberduck, Elevenlabs) and etc. This means I can speak into a microphone using my own voice and sound like a well-known actor (or use (TTS))..
For now fair use is a complex legal doctrine, and its applicability can vary.
People who inspired the voices and deserve all the credit
(The voices are not in their original form; the pitch and tempo has been modified).
Narrator inspired by Morgan Freeman.
Barbara inspired by Ashley Greene
James Gordon, Jr. inspired by Matthew Porretta
The scariest thing about James Gordon Jr. is that he's... realistic. There are a lot of serial killers who were just like him.
name me some
@@thehermit761literally every single one
How exactly?
111 👍
@@thehermit761 The main one he's inspired from, Jeffery Dahmer.
For god's sake, Jim Gordon doesen't have enought on his table? He is a Police Officer in Gotham, IN GOTHAM, and writers still gives him a Psycho son!? they are trying to compete with spider-man's writers to see who is more sadistic!? (but the DuB was Great)
Bat man spider man and the punisher, when these three combine they take take the form of : *a bleak and incurable depression*
and plot twist, the mother was actually Harley Quinn. She pulled a Talia and raped him, had his baby and left him on the doorstep. Jim did a paternity test and tried to raise his son the best he could, but it was all for naut.
Ok that never actually happened but, give them time. The women in the comics are massive rapists. Be it Shado, Talia, Cheshire, The Goblin Queen....
@@AzguardMike
They were??, for some reason
They act like they arent, if
They were men id be a big deal.
@@AzguardMike
Dont forget harley quinn is
Defintley one herself.
@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvusYeah. I didnt think of frank castle until ypu mentioned him. That guy has it rough as hell
This could make for an excellent horror/psychological thriller if adapted on screen.
Honestly a sequel to year one would be perfect
DAMN, LIKE A SPINOFF TO JOKER??? THAT'D BE _INSANE_
There's an anime called Monster that's very, very close to that concept. There's no superheroes though, its devoid of all fantasy elements.
Batman is basically as boring as superman as a protag so it's the endings are always trash. I wanted the bad guy to win. As the good guys didn't earn it.

Messed up? Seems perfectly sane for Gotham standards
Least insane Gotham criminal
He’s perfectly sane he’s just evil
Real.
@@garganroseNo, he’s psychotic, if you’ve read Batman Year One, you see the kind of head trauma he had to go through. He likely has shaken baby syndrome which in turn, opens a door for mental illnesses.
He's like Jeffrey Dahmer
Am I tripping or did Gordon not check that bathroom in the dinner?
He should have LOL
Would’ve been nice continuity if he did
Wondered the same thing.
Ikr 😂
he checked the diner after Jr left but there was nothing in the bathroom. just water from the sink.
Everyone: The Joker is the most messed-up psychotic freak there is!
James Jr.: Hold my beer!
I wonder if Mr. J would congratulate this guy or try to kill him for being crazier than he is?
Hold my pint of blood
Hold my pills
Professor Pyg
@@nicolovoci7265
You didn't have to got that far man
This was giving me hella Death Note vibes ngl... as if Light were a serial killer without the death note... the whole setup and family too.
what's funny coz in the TDK trilogy the kid who played Gordon's son also played Joffrey in GoT, which, as we all know, is a complete psychopath
Gives me a lot more Monster vibes. He's like discount Johan.
@@cetomedo monster was more subtle, you’ve made me wonder how much influence the twins from black lagoon had from monster.
The ending was literally beat for beat with Deathnote when he got caught.
I’m sure it was in ”Batman begins”, but he didn’t play Gordon’s son, just a kid in the narrows.
2:00
oh, just a HAWK HIDING IN MY CLOSET!
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT
Eh, just an average Giant Hawk
For real, why the hell was a Hawk there 💀
Most normal experience in gotham
Commissioner Gordon sounds like Martin Sheen...the narrator kinda sounds like Morgan Freeman
The editing was perfect here tbh made it feel like I was watching a true crime story and not just a guy reading a comic to me
17:53 that's Batman Beyond's problem.
wait but lowkey it actually kinda make a perfect segment to it
I mean, isn’t Gotham in Batman Beyond more corrupt and more dangerous, with more gangs also running around?
Honest reply
Who is that baby?
17 MINUTES?!!?! .... I'm making popcorn.
I just had a chunk of cheese torn off with pomegranate juice call me weird
@@dreamfev.r that sounds phenomenal
@@dreamfev.rokay that actually sounds really good right now
Another Tuesday in Gotham 💀
That was amazing please do more comics like this the narrator the voice actor 10/10👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
your hands are Brown. You should wash them from time to time buddy
@@Leavemebejewtubeuhh it’s race bro.
There's an antidote to Jim Gordon Jr's formula. The children can be administered the antidote and they will be fine.
I don't think Gotham is quite so bad as to administer child murder...
@@TheKeller101I think he means the literal antidote formula that Batman used to cure Jrs psychopath syrum.
@@pancakes8670 oh yeah, I guess that could work too lol
''Little Piece of Damian'' 17:26
Lmao 😭
Whoever did the voicing for this is amazing.
It’s an AI voiceover
His videos are getting better and better.
Commissioner Gordon can't catch a break in ANY version of Batman.
This is quality Batman stuff right here.
I mean seriously. This is as "Batman" as you could possibly get. This is good shit.
Gotham is so depressing.
Why do people still live there? Another thing is that it wouldn't be if Batman started killing the bad guys.
The most unbelievable thing about this comic is that the daughter of the frickin police commisioner who is also frequently targeted by Gotham's nastiest criminals doesn't at least keep a gun hidden on her at all times. I mean come on!
No Killing Rule.
@@MartezAnims his daughter has a no killing rule?
@@qwasbae5854she’s closely tied w the bat family so most likely she has one
She does, but also she's usually the "lady in yhe chair" and they don't expect their enemies to target barbra
She stuck a knife into her brothers eye. I bet she was hoping it'd kill him.@@MartezAnims
Good job man. Listened to the whole thing.
This is excellently put together. The sound effects, the scouring, the voice actors , the editing is all great
It’s AI voiceover
Imagine what Christopher Nolan could’ve done with this story
These voice actors are Ai labs
Really happy with the results tho.
Make more! ❤
damn really what AI
These are so amazing please keep these longs stories comin!!!
Without empathy, we subject ourselves to our own weaknesses. Nobody else there to share each other's strengths.
Individuals who are so "strong" (or think themselves so) make society impossible and society it what actually enables us to live, succeed, and thrive. A world where everyone is simply out for themselves is a world where EVERYONE is miserable.
@@Scipio488 how do they make it impossible?
Empathy is not a universal good. It's a tool in an emotional tool box. Too little empathy, and you become an anti-social loner who can't cooperate in a group; which is necessary for a stable, productive civilization.
However, too much empathy is also a problem, specifically because of psychopaths like Gordon Jr. Giving empathy to such people is like throwing it into a bottomless void. They will take and take, but never reciprocate. Worse still, they will use and abuse your empathy for their own benefit.
@@Agent_Chieftain it’s 100% a universal good. you genuinely don’t run out of it, almost everyone is capable of it, and yet people still advocate “keeping it to yourself” so you don’t magically run out of the ability to care about others. the world is certainly getting less cool, the more we spread ideas like that.
I whole 17 MINUTE vid. I feel honored. Thank you keep making vids. Their amazing.
Very well made. I honestly felt like I was watching a movie 🍿
If Matt Reeves decides to make Hush the villain for The Batman 2, I hope he uses James Gordon Jr cause he perfectly coincides with Hush
17mins of pure perfection, thank you!!!
Martin Sheen. Was driving me nuts initially, but for Jim Gordon, Martin Sheen is the voice. Honestly a pretty good fit.
Oh, that's it! I couldn't place the voice until you said it.
Very well done! As long as you continue to keep the explanation in your descriptions and make sure to edit the results Uberduck and 11ElevenLabs gives you so that it sounds *inspired by* a style and voice you're set.
Your pairing of the music with the rest of the audio design was on point, and your edits and framing were fantastic. Well done. Subscribed and will be digging back into your content.
Your Channel is awesome thanks for the almost 20 min video
Wow, it was so well made it only felt like 5
this would actually be a pretty nice live action sequel to the Dark Knight trilogy
"But it was just a hawk with a big rat"
This made me laugh out loud at 1:45am and I don't really know why
He’s my favorite Batman villain!
I love how scary he is while being a normal guy.
Favorite scene is him and Gordon at a diner. James excuses himself and goes to the bathroom for a minute. When he comes out he apologizes for taking so long, he says he murdered a waitress and stashed her in a stall. Gordon immediately gets up to check and James goes ‘cmon dad it’s a joke’ and Gordon sits back down. As they leave after dinner a red pool starts forming from under the bathroom door. Dude is unhinged.
Hated his death/revival. Joker killing him is lame, and him coming back as a Talon is even lamer. His Hannibal lector vibes are perfect as is.
Naw I'm glad joker took him out😂😂
TH-cam I have hundreds of different accounts, stop deleting my comments or I'll rain down hell fire in these comment sections
If anything, he should have killed the Joker.
Was that blood pool real? Why wouldn't Gordon or anyone else see it?
@@Bane520 I dont think anyone besides the reader sees the blood pooling out.
"Hello Dick!" Gets me every time.
Stumbled upon your channel and love how u bring these comics come to life! Looking forward to more DC content from u
Light Yagami? Nah, we got James Gordan Jr.
Please keep making these videos, better than most tvshows/movies
According to Batman, the one villain he truly hates is Victor Zsasz. I think that says a lot.
The baby at the end...
Ulu feel like this be the perfect explanation for why in batman beyond there so many new big villains.
After you read and watch Year One, you realize that one of Batman's most insane villains is born there.
The art design was excellent. Really matched the tone of to story.
Also I like James facial design. His face and his overall look really gives that uncomfortable vibes.
The sad part about this comic is that everyone knew what he was on some level and just choose to ignore it and that led to a lot of people getting horribly unalived
I can’t believe you got Alan Wake out of the dark place for this
I'd say this guy is up there with the messed villains like Professor Pyg and Dollmaker
That is an absolutely fucking cool story
James Gordon jr is so messed up he's literally Jeffrey Dahmer
There’s some influence but they hard hardly similar
I dont know how it took me this long to look up comics on youtube
If this story could be turned into a movie I genuinely believe it could top The Dark Knight in terms of story by a LONG shot.
Wow. This is the first Batman villain that left me feeling very uneasy.
How on earth did you get Martin Sheen and Morgan Freeman for the voices? Bet they are stoked to be here.
😂😂😂
I thought that was more of a Robert Duval type.
Gotta love the time when Batman thought to himself "How do I track down the most fucked up mind in the multiverse? (The Batman Who Laughs) I know! James JR.!"
I like How James Jr sounds like Light Yagami from Death Note.
But instead of killing criminals, he kills innocent people.
It's poetically dark if you think about it.
This is awesome I'm so glad I found you!!!😊
Can you please do more short, dark stories like this? This is fantastic!
not going to lie batman saying can i play to was the most badass thing batman could do
This deserves a live action adaptation
This was fun to listen to. I would love to come here again for more narrated stories 🙂
your vidoes are the best .the voice is just the best . wish you could make longer vidoes
This is really good
I love these VAs
Are there only three names in Gotham? Harvey, Jim, and Barbara
Bruce, Bess, Martha, Thomas, Dick, Jason, Tim, Damien, Alfred, Harleen, Selina, Bette, Katherine, Stephanie, Helena, Cassandra, Jean-Paul, Lucius, Onyx, Claire, Julia, Duke, Henry, Lucas, Basil, Harper, David, Jonathan, Oswald, So at least 32!
Your channel is amazing dude
So... Jim Jr grows up to be a psychopath. When he was a kid, his son gave him a speech about Batman "being a hero they need but not what Gotham deserves. A silent guardian. The Dark Knight".
i need y'all to take in that this guy is reading a sheet of paper and is only narrating and editing this video to appear scary, amazing video job well done 👏
I'm loving these so much
Junior did all that at the end with a knife buried deep through his eye socket? Umm.....
We need a legit Batman Horror Movie ASAP, rated R
I think good thriller/criminal would be better, just returning to the roots of Batman.
@@weedingadmiral9431 That's just The Batman, we've done that.
16:22 I love that line, such a Nightwing thing to say! Also, this story is really creepy man, the poor babies.. 🥲
Superb video. I'm a new subscriber. Perfect video to play when stuck in a traffic jam.
dawg i watched all ur vids keep the work up !
*Gotham is just Chicago with extra steps...*
Detroit
You put it in bold because you're so confident you told a great joke you need everyone to see it
Or maybe you're just desperate for attention so you repeat the things you see on tiktok and get confused when nobody praises you
@@ssgoko88 *YOU A FAN YOU A FAN YOU A FAN...🗣💨🗣💨🗣💃🕺*
Dude your content is amazing
.... Man this was awesome and how it's done!!!
Gosh, that's one heck of a story. The cool thing about it is that Batman wasn't the main protagonist this time. It was Jim Gordon!
Very cool. Looking forward to the next upload
I just recently discovered your channel and it has been a blessing 🙏🏽 thank you for the amazing content
AI Gordon sounds like Martin Sheen or The Illusive Man to others
Can anyone ask me why James Gordon jr is messed up or what made him this way. So James Gordon is the most implicit horrifying villain or Gotham's criminal.
his father put him in a cell across from joker to scare him straight jr instead admired the joker
Sometimes it's a tumor in the brain, head trauma as a baby/young child, or glandular issues making them prone to rage, etc.
Also some people are simply born without empathy and remorse for their actions. Psychopaths just happen sometimes.
@@darknessends127 Jordan couldn't have just giving him a spanking or have Batman strike fear into the kid ?
Those would have seemed like better options
@@seeleunit2000 Only an idiot thinks physical punishment or fear can make a psychopath stop being a psychopath. Problem is there's too many idiots.
Antisocial Personality Disorder
Greatest channel on this website ngl💪
James Jr sounds like what the Joker does on an average Monday morning
James and Safran need to get on this and make this a live action series 6-7 episodes of this
Only thing I hated about this story was how James lost to Barbara. This dude was methodical and cunning in every move he made and then somehow he clumsily walks into a scenario where he gets stabbed by a knife was honestly so stupid. He was far too smart to have such a unrealistic moment like that happen to him.
But they can't have her be a damsel in distress.
What do you mean? Barbara’s a trained superhero, Jims some psychotic kid
She's still Batgirl.
You don't buy that Bruce Wayne could still be sneaky in a wheelchair? You just sexist bro ;)
@@zlch4021she's a trained superhero, in a wheelchair, with two of her arteries being cut open, James isn't just some street thug, throughout the entire ordeal he demonstrated himself to be insanely intelligent.
@@goobeeeer how is he “insanely intelligent” may I ask? Through the powers of poor writing?
Really cool, keep doing it
Thank you. really enjoyed the video.
i would like to see this done with Robert Patterson batman
Got respect Jim for giving Ben Wolf a hand when he needed one.
It would have been funny if Junior was, in fact, innocent. And his family shunned him for years by mistake.
Fun fact: in kill the Justice League, part of the Arkham series. You can see a wanted poster of James Jr!
Did they ever follow up on this? Even if it's just an Elseworlds thing, I'd love to see the twenty year jump where it turns out the plan worked and there's a whole new nightmare in Gotham. It could even have parallels to what happened decades ago with lead poisoning and increased criminal tendencies.
City of Nightmares... checks out.
Most messed up is saying a lot. Holy moly
Appreciate the narration as a new visually impaired fan ❤
This really have Naoki Urasawa's Monster vibe. Amazing.
just like every other thing... ill wait for a few years for a movie based on this novel to come out and if it doesnt, ill read the comic, untill then i aint getting spoiled, for potentionally one of the best batman movies
The joker doesn't scare Barbara. James Gordon Jr is the scariest batman villain. More than professor pyg, more than even the Dollmaker.
Holy shit he really psychopath
