@@BeyondElite - Thank you for the fast answer, my copy is a Xbox 360 one from the US, I'll look into it and check if there are more censored scenes or if it was just this one. Now I'm curious ^^
His facial expressions, mannerisms, and voice acting when Batman saves him is just out of this world FANTASTIC. "Now why....why...why would you DO that??" Amazing acting.
Even better is later on when he's talking to the assassins as Roman he says something and starts to giggle like the Joker, in Black Masks voice, and catches himself. Troy Baker destroyed that moment, when you notice it its such a small thing that makes a huge difference. He's not Mark Hamill, but he holds his own in the role for sure.
This is how the joker is supposed to be like this game depicted the perfect interpretation the joker is supposed to be a combination of silliness and sickness the live action failed to balance this like the mask the only difference one uses what he has for good and the other for bad jack got the silliness heath got the sickness but origins joker got both even managed to be more of a criminal mastermind than both combined and he's deadlier crazier more intelligent more evil better dressed and way more menacing more diabolical and more sadistic and more charismatic than both too
@@BlackangelKatakuri phoenix is far cry from this lol he was just a mentally ill punk mad at the world he was way better in gladiator and the master which is arguably his best role than joker
@Toriano Reno exactly. Just another stupidass bandwagoner having no clue what hes talking about. Most of the people who like city so much are just faking it because "everbody else is doing it" . these stupid losers have no opinion of their own. Im legit tired of them on origin videos talking mindless shit that sounds dumber than them.
The editing in the cutscenes are so underrated. It’s like watching a Hollywood movie. Hate how this game got so much shit. It was a solid ass game with well written dialogue and story
OMG look at this TH-cam. +TheRealComicBookGamer His intro for the Aroham Knight Hush Rant is just blowing me away. Trust me you will be extremely amazed. Idk why but it's just addicting to watch
This game is definitely the best of the series but personally I like Mark Hamill as the joker more, that's probably just because I have watch him as joker more times than Troy Baker.
luck? wtf are you talking about. Mark Hamill isn't flat and dull, both actors are great. I said I like him cuz I have been watching him as THE JOKER more than troy bake.
@@WhyTho525 nah he was talking about Batman, I dont think he was even trying to manipulate her. But he rolled with it and decided he can be her "friend"
Dude, for real. I wanted to play it again so bad, along with a couple other last gen titles like Mafia II, that I bought a used PS3. But the performance is so atrocious on PS3 that it’s nearly unplayable. It honestly holds 30fps maybe 30% of the time. It also constantly freezes when you’re gliding around to load the textures. I don’t know how we did it last gen. Mafia II runs like dog shit too. I have them both on PC but I’m driving trucks now so I have to stick with console. Sucks.
Danny They’re still both at 720p though with gross shadows and significant performance dips. Plus I was also replaying them for the PS trophies. I got the platinum trophy for Mafia II but it’s impossible on Arkham Origins now since they shut down the servers and half the trophies are multiplayer related. Devs should always separate multiplayer trophies from single player trophies so you can still platinum a game ten years later.
I can get behind that. I know why it wasn't included in the Return To Arkham pack, but christ almighty Origins was underrated. I'd even go as far as to say it was my favourite. Which, to be fair I haven't finished City and its been years since I've gone back to it. But the bosses in this game were *Italian kiss*.
Even though I don't fancy how they reused Joker too much. But I can't deny that the story telling for Arkham series origins is very well written. And the dialogue is so great.
Thaibiohazard123 I agree. Origins isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Sure, it was glitchy, and didn't really try to expand on the gameplay from Arkham City, but the story was great, the voice acting was great, and the game was fun to play. What little changes there were, I enjoyed.It's funny how people declared the game non-canon and even went as far as to say that Rocksteady themselves said it wasn't. That's clearly bullshit, since Arkham Knight acknowledges events from Origins.
DNGaming Looked too grey? Are you kidding me? He looked way more grey in the last two games, especially Asylum. That's always been part of his design in the games and comes straight from the comics. What, did you want Batman to be completely black?
I love how Joker at first thought Batman was just an obstacle in his playground, but after he was saved by him, his entire world got fixated on the Bat
Nostalgia Poodle Wow, I didn’t even recognize his voice as Two-Face, although I probably should have guessed he was Jason Todd, I think I should rephrase my early comment, I still think Mark Hamills the best Joker, but Troy Bakers the third best Joker in my opinion.
I've been a huge fan of Mark Hamill's Joker for... ever. But I have to admit (and this is a big deal for me) this Joker is slowly (but surely) stealing my heart.
The scene starting at 2:08 is such a testament to how amazing Troy Bakers voice acting abilities are. The way he’s able to switch from joker imitating black mask to going full joker on a dime and staying in character the whole time is nothing short of phenomenal
Arkham Origins is such an underrated game. Its crazy to me that this game got mediocre reviews across the board while the incredibly inferior, Arkham Knight, got nines and tens from almost everyone. I feel like a lot of the hate was just because it wasn't made by the original studio.
Teivel New doesn't equal good. We learned that with Arkham Knight. It had the great gameplay of Arkham City (+ Crime Scene Investigation) and it had a great story. What else do you need?
This is what I hate in current game industry. You create a sequel with little to no new gameplay stuff - it's bad. You create new game and don't innovate in anything, but it has good story - it's perfect (TLoU). You create game with little content, mediocre gameplay and charge 60$ for it - GOTY (overhype)
Man oh man did Troy do a good job. Definitely took a lesson from Mark, and he learned it soooo good. Yes, it's the same basic voice, I mightn't find the difference if I didn't know better, except Troy sound fresher, more excited, like Joker is excited to be getting into this new arena. More carefree, more disregard for life (especially his own. Before he figured how special Bats is to him, he didn't really care who off'd him. that changes of course) And dayum, J looks hot. And as always, fuckin hilarious.
I love how at 4:18 Joker get's so excited when Bane steps towards him - it's written on his face. And then at 7:40 where he drops his gun after pissing Bane off - embracing what's coming for him. Throughout the game there's dozens of instances where the Joker almost seems to WANT someone to kill him - someone to make the madness end. It almost seems that he WANTS to die. That he couldn't care less what happens to him - even the money doesn't seem to matter. He just want's to paint a big enough target on himself to get taken out in a blaze of glory spectacular enough to be remembered so that it will all finally be over. And when things keep escalating - and he STILL isn't taken out - and he KEEPS ON WINNING - he loses control and the laughter and insanity give way to psychotic rage. Especially when Batman saves him - he's about ready to kill Batman right there. It's a very interesting take on the character. It reminds me a lot of the Joker we saw in Alan Moore's 'a killing Joke' - especially Joker's ending speech in that comic. "All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day." - the bad day happened... it's just kept on happening. And on and on getting worse and worse and he just keeps having to laugh at it - which is probably why THIS version of the Joker is so fixated on Batman. At 21:30 he starts ranting about what a lost cause he is - but that Batman still has hope. And the Joker has a lot of hope for him. Hope that he'll end it - hope that he'll stop it - hope that he'll become just like the Joker and it will all be over.
That's jokers only known motive, only known goal, is to die. Literally the only thing he wants more than anything is for Batman to be the one to kill him. Joker and Batman's relationship is very complicated.
And at 17:55 gah, just look at him. He's so excited to die! It's like he's been working on this ever since he got to Blackgate, and he's just thinking he's found a way to make this guy kill him. Once this fails, he' wants it all the more.
Mark Hamill would do a great job as an older live-action Joker. If you've watched CW's The Flash (yeah, I agree it's terrible but that's not the point) you'll see that Hamill's role as The Trickster, while being a blatant ripoff of The Joker, was absolutely perfect.
Do you wanna know why I use pies? Cakes are too quick. You can't saver the little taste sensation. You see when force to choose cake or pie, people show you their true taste. I am nothing like you, you're a psychopath who bakes for money.
This is my favorite version of Joker in a videogame. He’s unpredictable, charismatic to many, and he’s just now establishing his name and face for all Gotham to fear. Not to mention his relationship with Batman just begins and morphs into a twisted union that makes what we saw in the previous Arkham game that much more powerful of an image. Plus his manipulation to Harley was perfect. I loved it all!
This Joker is the perfect Joker, as Dangerous and dark as Heath Ledger's Joker, yet still comical and funny sometimes. He's also a mastermind and an intelligent villian in this game, which is what the Joker is, the joker is also a mastermind of crime, I have never seen the joker in the movies to be the one behind the mask, running someone's operation without getting revealed, that's what the joker is all about. Nicholson got the humour and comical side of the joker right, Heath Ledger got the dark side of the joker correctly and also some jokes, but none of these display high ability of a mastermind criminal, I mean sure Heath ledger was still a mastermind, but technically this joker managed to be more of a mastermind in crime. Also I like the fact that they made him more violent, since the joker here is younger, that was an excellent move.
This joker would easily beat both nickleson and ledger jokers, he's darker more aggressive and more more dangerous, he has more energy, he's more intelligent and more evil and has more energy.
Precisely the joker is supposed to be a combination of silliness and sickness like the mask the only difference one uses what he has for good and the other for bad which is a combination the live action failed to balance jack got the silliness heath got the sickness but origins joker got both even managed to be more of a criminal mastermind than both combined imo this game has the best written depiction of both batman and joker comics aside.
The main thing I love about this version of Joker is his face, both simply because of how it *looks,* but also because of the animations for his EXPRESSIONS. His smile feels so MEAN, snarling almost, and in general just the way he expresses each and every emotion feels so intense and over the top. From those things alone, Joker feels like he's being *ESPECIALLY* meanspirited this time around. Just laughing his ass to high heaven at everyone's expense as aggressively as possible.
It’s amazing how this game shows when joker and Batman’s obsessive relationship started, like for joker it was when batman saved him from falling - he was so intrigued by him. And Batman was when he was in the hotel looking for him and was witnessing his insanity
"I'm the guy with the money and the gun so when I hired you to kill the batman you shut the hell up and kill the batman so you got anything else you'll like to contribute i didn't think so" favorite thing the joker said
this is my favorite joker, I almost like this voice acting better than hamill. and the character design too. in the other games the character design was kinda choppy and weird for the joker. he just seems to have the carelessness and energy of the joker. wish they had kept this design for the whole Arkham series.
@@thahoule7924 Watching this makes me wish that Troy Baker would actually play as The Joker in a live action Batman film. I mean, he has the look, the voice, and the acting skills. Idk...it's probably a long shot, but it'd be something I'd like to see
This is my favorite joker of all time, it really expresses how crazy he is and I really like the look and voice actor of the joker with all his lines too.
At 2:10 when he's pretending to be black mask you can really hear Troy Bakers normal voice and then it slowly turns into Jokers. It makes it seem as if Troy is turning into the Joker and it's so fascinating and also terrifing to imagine how this must have looked in the recording booth.
Arkham Origins is my favourite of all the Arkham games, because it has, actually, a rather cheerful storyline, and witnessing the Batman's and Joker's first meeting is just quite amazing and a delight. The only thing that could make this game more perfect is if Mark Hamill voiced the Joker, but Troy Baker has managed to come so incredibly close in his performance that I actually thought this was Mark for a minute. :) He sounds like a younger version of him, and he absolutely nailed the role of a younger Joker. It's incredible to play this game knowing that even when you finish it, it's actually just the beginning. :)
3:44 The joker: "mhhm this fruitcake Is fantastic Anyone want a piece?." Me: hold on stay there bro im on way there to get some right now...... *gets in BMW*
Joker's a psychopath, which have a ridiculously high pain tolerance. That, or he doesn't care about the pain. I thought it was awesome that joker was alive after that beatdown, in real life it could kill someone.
***** Ima still trying to find out how he could still laugh after that beatdown lol but joker has always been a tank. He could street fight but he always took a blood drawing bone cracking beaten and still laughed.
tonydeadlock Let's also take the fact that if anyone were even beaten down like that, they wouldn't be able to breathe any good. I think Joker should've been laughing but while gasping and coughing, would've totally sold.
Yea that's what normally happened in the animated series lol the missing tooth joker laught. Batman would gut bunch the joker mid laugh so it would sound like aaaahhhhahaaah...Ooooooaah then spits out tooth.
I personally find this Joker a lot more visually pleasing than the Jokers of the Arkham series. Particularly Knight and City. Not that I’m saying Arkham Asylum’s Joker was totally bad. But I just really prefer this one. He’s less cheesy looking and more sinister looking with a clown’s theme. I felt like the bright purple and yellow (🤢) suit was too tacky and the lighter green hair was too clownish. I’ve seen actually circus clowns trying less to look like a clown than that. He was too cartoony, which isn’t always bad, I must say. But this one’s look makes him more to be taken seriously and feared. Which is sort of what he wants. To be taken seriously in his sick jokes. I only wish there were more cutscenes and dialog from him in this game... I wish this game was a little longer... even if it is more of an origin story.
I see what you are saying. This one is definitely more grounded. I always liked the original Arkham Joker suit however because I found it really funny that a man was running around murdering people in the tackiest of tacky suits.
From all of the Arkham Games, this Joker is probably my favorite just by how expressive he is. Troy Baker did an amazing job on playing a young energetic Joker, and the design is just icing to cake. The wider smile; the dark coloring of his hair and coat; this makes Origins Joker a lot more scary and intimidating. As much as I love Hamill's Joker in City, Asylum, and Knight, the design for me really drag down the intimidating aura that he supposed to have.
I’ve played through this whole game and seen all of these scenes, and yet I still find myself entrenched in this vid. Shows why the Joker is the best DC villain, and how good Troy Baker is at voice acting.
u know aside from the repetitive game play this game has one of the best stories its a great game (dont know why ppl criticize it so much ) arkham knight ftw though
The hatred of this game is an unconstructive one. The game being similar to Arkham City (gameplay) is NOT the reason to hate it. And I agree, the storyline is definitely the best one and also the most intense and psychological. And the Joker was far more dangerous than in previous games.
Amun Ra The thing that pissed me off was: No Bat-Mobile. I know we get it in the last game, but they still should of put it in this one. Or better yet they should of at least let the gamer fly the Bat-Plane. One thing that is bugging me is: Why did Batman bother saving Joker? He wasn't responsible for Joker getting blown off the roof. One homicidal life in exchange for the lives of hundreds if not thousands of innocent lives.
Joker, is what I would call, the symbol of despair hidden behind laughs never hiding what he truly feels. He wants to prove that there is no structure, order, rules and hope a city born into chaos. Batman, who cleans the city every night and gives hope to Gotham. fights against despair, like two sides of a quarter flipping onto the Two Faces of Gotham. Which side will land first? The perfect parallel of hero/villain.
I like Troy Baker's Joker, not as much as I like Hamil's but you must think, Troy's Joker is just supposed to sound like a younger version of Mark Hamil's Joker. After all, you can't spell Arkham without mARK HAMil.
The Mad Hatter actually, you can spell Arkham without Mark Hamill, because the “MA” and “ILL” are not in “Arkham” You can’t, however, spell Mark Hamill without Arkham.

18:41-18:43 don’t know why those two seconds showing joker’s fighting prowess is badass
The scene starting at 2:08 is such a testament to how amazing Troy Bakers voice acting abilities are. The way he’s able to switch from joker imitating black mask to going full joker on a dime and staying in character the whole time is nothing short of phenomenal
4:56
can we all take a moment to appreciate the sass in that pose
22:48 HE JUST CALLD BATMAN "BABY" IM LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ayo
Arkham Origins is such an underrated game. Its crazy to me that this game got mediocre reviews across the board while the incredibly inferior, Arkham Knight, got nines and tens from almost everyone. I feel like a lot of the hate was just because it wasn't made by the original studio.
julianwelton Story wise Origins was great but gameplay wise hardly anything new to the table
Teivel
New doesn't equal good. We learned that with Arkham Knight. It had the great gameplay of Arkham City (+ Crime Scene Investigation) and it had a great story. What else do you need?
julianwelton thats true, but bringing not much new isn't an excuse either
This is what I hate in current game industry. You create a sequel with little to no new gameplay stuff - it's bad.
You create new game and don't innovate in anything, but it has good story - it's perfect (TLoU).
You create game with little content, mediocre gameplay and charge 60$ for it - GOTY (overhype)
HeavySandvichGuy1 Agree. Tlou is overrated storywise.

"I think he's talking to you"

Man oh man did Troy do a good job. Definitely took a lesson from Mark, and he learned it soooo good. Yes, it's the same basic voice, I mightn't find the difference if I didn't know better, except Troy sound fresher, more excited, like Joker is excited to be getting into this new arena. More carefree, more disregard for life (especially his own. Before he figured how special Bats is to him, he didn't really care who off'd him. that changes of course)
And dayum, J looks hot. And as always, fuckin hilarious.
I love how at 4:18 Joker get's so excited when Bane steps towards him - it's written on his face. And then at 7:40 where he drops his gun after pissing Bane off - embracing what's coming for him. Throughout the game there's dozens of instances where the Joker almost seems to WANT someone to kill him - someone to make the madness end. It almost seems that he WANTS to die. That he couldn't care less what happens to him - even the money doesn't seem to matter. He just want's to paint a big enough target on himself to get taken out in a blaze of glory spectacular enough to be remembered so that it will all finally be over.
And when things keep escalating - and he STILL isn't taken out - and he KEEPS ON WINNING - he loses control and the laughter and insanity give way to psychotic rage. Especially when Batman saves him - he's about ready to kill Batman right there.
It's a very interesting take on the character.
It reminds me a lot of the Joker we saw in Alan Moore's 'a killing Joke' - especially Joker's ending speech in that comic. "All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day." - the bad day happened... it's just kept on happening. And on and on getting worse and worse and he just keeps having to laugh at it - which is probably why THIS version of the Joker is so fixated on Batman. At 21:30 he starts ranting about what a lost cause he is - but that Batman still has hope. And the Joker has a lot of hope for him.
Hope that he'll end it - hope that he'll stop it - hope that he'll become just like the Joker and it will all be over.
That's jokers only known motive, only known goal, is to die. Literally the only thing he wants more than anything is for Batman to be the one to kill him. Joker and Batman's relationship is very complicated.
And at 17:55 gah, just look at him. He's so excited to die! It's like he's been working on this ever since he got to Blackgate, and he's just thinking he's found a way to make this guy kill him.
Once this fails, he' wants it all the more.
do you know what orchestra was playing when he blew up the building?
Avius Left Wing
it's a movement from The Barber of Seville
+2Scribble thank you
troy baker should be a live action joker too
wade f'kn wilson I know exactly what I’m thinking I think the action is better in this then Arkham city
he could but he's too good looking for joker
Sigit Ambya So was Heath Ledger, but makeup does wonders.
I KNOW RIGHT?
Mark Hamill would do a great job as an older live-action Joker. If you've watched CW's The Flash (yeah, I agree it's terrible but that's not the point) you'll see that Hamill's role as The Trickster, while being a blatant ripoff of The Joker, was absolutely perfect.
WOW I JUST REALIZED this is now my FAVORITE JOKER!!!
My favorite next to Mark Hamil.
Troy Baker was excellent as the Joker, he really captured the aura that Hamill was known for.
5:45 HOW MANY PIES DID YOU JUST BAKE!
40.
That's as many as four tens.
And that's terrible.
The timing of all the TVs going static
None! I think...
Do you wanna know why I use pies? Cakes are too quick. You can't saver the little taste sensation. You see when force to choose cake or pie, people show you their true taste.
I am nothing like you, you're a psychopath who bakes for money.
Troy "Baker"
Troy Baker may not have the voice of Mark Hamil, but he does a great job of capturing the crazy part of Joker’s personality
It sounds almost exactly the same
No he has the voice of young Mark Hamill’s Joker.
@@AimForMyHead81He sounds like a younger version of Hamill's Joker
This is my favorite version of Joker in a videogame. He’s unpredictable, charismatic to many, and he’s just now establishing his name and face for all Gotham to fear. Not to mention his relationship with Batman just begins and morphs into a twisted union that makes what we saw in the previous Arkham game that much more powerful of an image. Plus his manipulation to Harley was perfect. I loved it all!
I agree, but also really love John doe, from the telltale games, enemy within
17:29 - 18:55
They captured Joker's.. everything so well through this voice acting, and animation~
Batman and Joker's entire relationship is just Batman reliving the trolley problem every other night
This Joker is the perfect Joker, as Dangerous and dark as Heath Ledger's Joker, yet still comical and funny sometimes. He's also a mastermind and an intelligent villian in this game, which is what the Joker is, the joker is also a mastermind of crime, I have never seen the joker in the movies to be the one behind the mask, running someone's operation without getting revealed, that's what the joker is all about. Nicholson got the humour and comical side of the joker right, Heath Ledger got the dark side of the joker correctly and also some jokes, but none of these display high ability of a mastermind criminal, I mean sure Heath ledger was still a mastermind, but technically this joker managed to be more of a mastermind in crime. Also I like the fact that they made him more violent, since the joker here is younger, that was an excellent move.
This joker would easily beat both nickleson and ledger jokers, he's darker more aggressive and more more dangerous, he has more energy, he's more intelligent and more evil and has more energy.
Precisely the joker is supposed to be a combination of silliness and sickness like the mask the only difference one uses what he has for good and the other for bad which is a combination the live action failed to balance jack got the silliness heath got the sickness but origins joker got both even managed to be more of a criminal mastermind than both combined imo this game has the best written depiction of both batman and joker comics aside.
No The Best Joker is Cesar Romero
@@maddsmoke3284 mark Hamill>>>
@@maddsmoke3284 bruh what?😂
The main thing I love about this version of Joker is his face, both simply because of how it *looks,* but also because of the animations for his EXPRESSIONS. His smile feels so MEAN, snarling almost, and in general just the way he expresses each and every emotion feels so intense and over the top. From those things alone, Joker feels like he's being *ESPECIALLY* meanspirited this time around. Just laughing his ass to high heaven at everyone's expense as aggressively as possible.
It’s amazing how this game shows when joker and Batman’s obsessive relationship started, like for joker it was when batman saved him from falling - he was so intrigued by him. And Batman was when he was in the hotel looking for him and was witnessing his insanity
I love the Joker's motion capture in this one, he just moves around like a giddy child!!
"I'm the guy with the money and the gun so when I hired you to kill the batman you shut the hell up and kill the batman so you got anything else you'll like to contribute i didn't think so"
favorite thing the joker said
Troy does an extremely great job at sounding just like Mark's Joker.
The writing and performance of Joker in this game was amazing. It’s a shame the game didn’t get more love.
Damn his hair is so fab
its the jokers signature v joker venom that makes you laugh to death and gives you that grin.
A Kawaii Potato
what does fav means ?
@@Mohamad-m7md fab means fabulous.
I know right, it's called chemicals and acid baby
Out of all joker designs in the Arkham series this joker design was the best
this is my favorite joker, I almost like this voice acting better than hamill. and the character design too. in the other games the character design was kinda choppy and weird for the joker. he just seems to have the carelessness and energy of the joker. wish they had kept this design for the whole Arkham series.
This is mark hamill
@@oddniit1669 its not lol. its troy baker
@@thahoule7924 Watching this makes me wish that Troy Baker would actually play as The Joker in a live action Batman film. I mean, he has the look, the voice, and the acting skills. Idk...it's probably a long shot, but it'd be something I'd like to see
To be fair, Joker in this game is a waaaay younger than in the other Arkham games. What with it being a prequel and all
It's Troy Baker mimicking MH.
When villains want to scare the piss out of each other, they tell Joker stories.
this video had more screentime than Jared Leto's Joker
"Those two were very bad men. The things they've done. You really don't want to know. They deserve death. JUST. LIKE. ME."
This is my favorite joker of all time, it really expresses how crazy he is and I really like the look and voice actor of the joker with all his lines too.
Don't move freak!
Joker:- I think he's talking to you 😂😂😂
we need more of this joker much more!!
At 2:10 when he's pretending to be black mask you can really hear Troy Bakers normal voice and then it slowly turns into Jokers. It makes it seem as if Troy is turning into the Joker and it's so fascinating and also terrifing to imagine how this must have looked in the recording booth.
Joker showing off his hand-to-hand combat is so fucking satisfying and I don’t even know why
23:06 jokers expression is really well done, he's surprised and proud that what he's done has had an impact on batman.
Arkham Origins is my favourite of all the Arkham games, because it has, actually, a rather cheerful storyline, and witnessing the Batman's and Joker's first meeting is just quite amazing and a delight. The only thing that could make this game more perfect is if Mark Hamill voiced the Joker, but Troy Baker has managed to come so incredibly close in his performance that I actually thought this was Mark for a minute. :) He sounds like a younger version of him, and he absolutely nailed the role of a younger Joker. It's incredible to play this game knowing that even when you finish it, it's actually just the beginning. :)
"You really don't want to know..."
I love the animation on his face there.
I love how the joker admits they both exist or were created because of the criminals.
When he goes “move it along big boy” I get hella Jack sparrow vibes and idk why
joker saying "this is going to be fun" always gives me chills! it's so amazing seeing the origin of one of the most iconic rivals
18:40
That's GOLD right there.
Nathaniel best scene

9:57 Let's admit the expressions in his game are absolutely magnificent.
This joker has something really charming going on like a little but more than most joker portrayals. I like it.

The joker: "mhhm this fruitcake Is fantastic
Anyone want a piece?."
Me: hold on stay there bro im on way there to get some right now......
*gets in BMW*

You spelled piece of shit pinto wrong
why does nobody like fruitcake?? ITS FUCKING GOOD STUFF
6:28 I was expecting he would break his back
Oh, I love how "Joker" he feels. Gives me chills down to the core.
I love how he grins at bane after the meeting. like yeah, come at me bro, like I gaf
JOKER IS REALLY DANGER THING FOR BATMAN.HE IS FEARLESS.AND HE IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE VILLAIN IN GAMES AND COMIC HISTORY
How come The Joker take all that beatdown and he still breathin', what a freak.
Joker's a psychopath, which have a ridiculously high pain tolerance. That, or he doesn't care about the pain.
I thought it was awesome that joker was alive after that beatdown, in real life it could kill someone.
***** Ima still trying to find out how he could still laugh after that beatdown lol but joker has always been a tank. He could street fight but he always took a blood drawing bone cracking beaten and still laughed.
tonydeadlock Let's also take the fact that if anyone were even beaten down like that, they wouldn't be able to breathe any good.
I think Joker should've been laughing but while gasping and coughing, would've totally sold.
Yea that's what normally happened in the animated series lol the missing tooth joker laught. Batman would gut bunch the joker mid laugh so it would sound like aaaahhhhahaaah...Ooooooaah then spits out tooth.
you calling him a freak because he takes being beaten like a champ ?
what a freak
“Life would be so simple if you were all I wanted” later goes on to be the only thing that keeps him going
I want more Troy baker joker to be honest
4:07 I also love how fast he goes from "omg he is huge" to "oh yessss this will be entertaining"
He's a big guy

4:14 For a second he looked scared. 😧
very underrated game.
Not many realize
8:45 All the bullets have been spent
And joker was just playing with Bats moral code at that point
To save anyone
In opinion, this game had more of a deeper story than the previous games had.
I personally find this Joker a lot more visually pleasing than the Jokers of the Arkham series. Particularly Knight and City. Not that I’m saying Arkham Asylum’s Joker was totally bad. But I just really prefer this one. He’s less cheesy looking and more sinister looking with a clown’s theme. I felt like the bright purple and yellow (🤢) suit was too tacky and the lighter green hair was too clownish. I’ve seen actually circus clowns trying less to look like a clown than that. He was too cartoony, which isn’t always bad, I must say.
But this one’s look makes him more to be taken seriously and feared. Which is sort of what he wants. To be taken seriously in his sick jokes.
I only wish there were more cutscenes and dialog from him in this game... I wish this game was a little longer... even if it is more of an origin story.
Knight city and asylums joker were the same
It’s still the same Joker dude lol
Nathan Ferrol This game wasn’t made by rocksteady
I see what you are saying. This one is definitely more grounded. I always liked the original Arkham Joker suit however because I found it really funny that a man was running around murdering people in the tackiest of tacky suits.
@@nathanferrolnot the suits though. They looked different
20:54
This is by far my favorite moment in the whole series
From all of the Arkham Games, this Joker is probably my favorite just by how expressive he is. Troy Baker did an amazing job on playing a young energetic Joker, and the design is just icing to cake. The wider smile; the dark coloring of his hair and coat; this makes Origins Joker a lot more scary and intimidating. As much as I love Hamill's Joker in City, Asylum, and Knight, the design for me really drag down the intimidating aura that he supposed to have.
10:33 at that moment Joker realized Harley was good hearted person so he decided she would be great to manipulate
Troy baker is a worthy successor of the mark hammil joker
notice how many times ''black mask'' stops himself from bursting into laughing for example 2:25 cause it was joker all along
I’ve played through this whole game and seen all of these scenes, and yet I still find myself entrenched in this vid. Shows why the Joker is the best DC villain, and how good Troy Baker is at voice acting.
this is like the perfect joker he has all the elements and can change in and out of everyone of them in an instant
This game is better than suicide squad 😂👀
RY7 Spectre Lol Ikr.
@@DarkAttackYT I know this is late but did anyone say it was?
Anything is better than suicide squad
Aron T-900 2 years later wtf
I always thought the cutscenes alone could of made an amazing animated movie
7:52 laughing as he falls to his death
This is one of the most vicious versions of the Joker ever put on screen.
In the final fight scene , the Christmas music in the background makes it so badass
u know aside from the repetitive game play this game has one of the best stories
its a great game (dont know why ppl criticize it so much )
arkham knight ftw though
Probably because it's a different dev team.
The hatred of this game is an unconstructive one. The game being similar to Arkham City (gameplay) is NOT the reason to hate it. And I agree, the storyline is definitely the best one and also the most intense and psychological. And the Joker was far more dangerous than in previous games.
Amun Ra The thing that pissed me off was: No Bat-Mobile. I know we get it in the last game, but they still should of put it in this one. Or better yet they should of at least let the gamer fly the Bat-Plane. One thing that is bugging me is: Why did Batman bother saving Joker? He wasn't responsible for Joker getting blown off the roof. One homicidal life in exchange for the lives of hundreds if not thousands of innocent lives.
Joker, is what I would call, the symbol of despair hidden behind laughs never hiding what he truly feels. He wants to prove that there is no structure, order, rules and hope a city born into chaos.
Batman, who cleans the city every night and gives hope to Gotham. fights against despair, like two sides of a quarter flipping onto the Two Faces of Gotham.
Which side will land first? The perfect parallel of hero/villain.
The bank cutscene was my favorite, the music, the animations, the acting mmm *chefs kiss*
I like Troy Baker's Joker, not as much as I like Hamil's but you must think, Troy's Joker is just supposed to sound like a younger version of Mark Hamil's Joker. After all, you can't spell Arkham without mARK HAMil.
The Mad Hatter actually, you can spell Arkham without Mark Hamill, because the “MA” and “ILL” are not in “Arkham”
You can’t, however, spell Mark Hamill without Arkham.
uome20bukz my GOD!!! Just let it be said!
