I don't think what Joker cared about was that the world forgot him, as everyone completely forgetting about him isn't possible. I think what he couldn't stand was if BATMAN forgot him.
Well, put it this way. The world forgetting him would definitely be a significant blow since he's all about making a good show. But Bats himself forgetting him would be the final nail to the coffin. (Ironic that I mention coffin since his body was actually burned.)
I think they were both equally important in finally breaking the Joker's spirit. Whatever life the Joker exactly had, before he got bleached by acid as the Red Hood, we know he was a normal guy who had hopes, dreams, and maybe some family he loved, before losing it all in one bad day, like Bruce Wayne did. Unlike Batman, he gave up all hope that the world could ever be good and just, so he took on a nihilistic worldview. The fact that the Joker also had this God-complex motivated him to become that agent of chaos, to prove his philosophy to the rest of humanity. Because Batman shared so much in common with the Joker, but could directly oppose his ideals, the Joker developed a kind of twisted friendship with him. Joker had some admiration for Batman on one hand, since he sees a little of himself in the Bat and knows they can both understand each other in an intimate personal way. On the other hand, Batman also gave Joker someone to pit himself against and see if he could win, while Gotham watches them fight. He wants to break the spirit of Gotham and thinks Batman could help him accomplish that, by giving everyone a chance to see their cherished hero(es) being destroyed/corrupted by the anarchy he spreads. So when both the Gothamites and Batman forget about him, the Joker is terrified and broken, because it means that he was wrong his entire life. With Batman forgetting him, it is like he ideals are defeated in an abstract philosophical sense, and when the public forgets about him, his ideals are shown to be defeated, even when put into practice. People do have the ability to rise of overcome the greatest hell on Earth and chaos is not the ultimate fate of humanity, that he thought it was.
Being forgotten by the people of Gotham is more symbolic than physical, as you said it yourself, it is just impossible for the world to forget him. symbolically however, if Batman, & in extension, the ENTIRE Gotham would eventually forget him, that meant that they are actually capable of rising above what he symbolized-despair, chaos, cruelty, & that life was nothing but a brutal joke-& making what Batman is fighting for so relentlessly, a reality. his ideals, his way of life, his very existence, completely denied by all around him, & reality actually manages to stick a solid middle finger in his face, & he suffers his ultimate defeat.
@@adamcervantes5698 he faked his death joker is still apart of his head otherwise we wouldn't be hearing him singing cuz batmans "dead" if he was truly dead, again no joker singing. His death is faked and metaphorical because Bruce Wayne "died" and became full-time Batman and not have to juggle between Bruce Wayne and Batman
+The Oncoming Storm switching between two vastly different emotions and doing them both at the same time no less, is often a clear sigh of someone broken beyond repair, which is the Joker. Since he was forced fed that his fear was a reality and even Bruce didn't need him anymore, even though he needs him. And now, all alone in the recesses of the mind of a man who may or may not be "dead".
Hmm... So wait, that means. Joker in a sense is still alive, he's still in Bruce's mind. Just trapped there in his own mind-scape, now that's just sad. Mark did really good in this game
HonorAmongScars Yeah, it was pretty obvious he faked his death. I thought he really killed off Joker, I guess he still wanted him around. Might've felt empty without him.
Well of course he’s never gonna forget him. He killed the only person he’s ever loved(his baby mama too), who he thought of essentially as a second son, and God knows how many people. Joker was definitely way more scared of the world forgetting him, that was kind of the point of the whole mission. Like one of the things he was scared of was a paper saying “Harley Quinn and Riddler expecting first baby.” He’s scared of Batman locking them away, so to say because without Batman he is literally nothing.
Because if batman remembers the joker or the joker secret identity, batman will haunt for the joker for the rest of the joker life which is quit extremely scary.
joker needs batman to stay alive for reasons i could explain for hours but im not, and batman has known joker his whole life but needs to retire for things could get worse
Dark Moon Blade because if joker didnt have batman as which he still does joker would have no reason to commit crime which is clearly his favorite thing to do also in the end u even hear i need u from joker when he gets locked because without crime all he would have is harley which he hates her, plus, joker is some type of ex marine or whatever and is very skilled in combat so meaning he enjoys it dearly especially from batman because for some damned reason the joker loves fighting batman and coming back then getting beat agin i can still go on but im lazy
+Alex Huckleba joker likes Harley but he's a bad person it shows him doing really caring stuff and him doing bad stuff as well the only reason Harley stays is because she's idk I can't talk anymore idk if what I said made sense I'm tired goodnight
AJ Greer That's because Origins was a prequel set before Arkham Asylum and Joker was younger in it so they needed a younger voice actor which is why Troy Baker did the voice in Origins. The same with Roger Craig Smith voicing Batman instead of Kevin Conroy.
Gotta feel bad for Joker. He knows that despite all the chaos and carnage he's created over the years, he will eventually be forgotten by everyone. Even his nemesis Batman has officially put Joker behind him. Just another memory lost to the sands of time.
John Paige Yeah, but I find its a great closure for the character. Physically, he died in City, but his final ghost meets his demise in this one. Its a more personal farewell to the greatest DC villain.
Kevin Jimenez Im not sure if that applies to this situation. Batman JUST got rid of the guy who caused a bunch of pain. I think the feeling is more of relief.
Joker's death in Arkham City was shocking and sombre...this is like his final demise and it's just heartbreaking because he's actually lamenting. The Joker is lamenting....that just doesn't happen, and yet here we are. Rocksteady killed off the unkillable and then made him cry, damn they are good.
+andyandnormski right, I was thinking the same thing. Joker is physically dead, but his spirit lives. All Batman did was trap him deep in the bowels of his subconscious. Its not out of the realm of possibility that Batman may need Joker at some point in the future and will end up releasing him for whatever reason.
Did the Joker 100% deserve this? Yes. Is this satisfying? Yes. Is it still heartbreaking to hear the Joker crying, knowing that he's really dead for good? Yes.
Robert Ramey I think we'd all laugh at that. After all, one of the Robins "died" because the fans voted for it. That's the kind of hard we're dealing with here.
the joker....................after all those years of horrendous actions and atrocities..............he finally got what he rightfully deserved...................and yet I can't help but feel a little sorry for the guy.............
Decided to listen to this ditty a few times to get the lyrics and thought to share it with y'all. Pretty sure it's correct, but feel free to correct me (if anything, I'm not 100% certain about "flushed together"). And so I'm home in the asylum... Ever alone in the asylum... "No don't leave me!" I cried. Now I'm locked deep inside His subconscious, trapped forever; Look who's laughing now. I was the clown prince of crime. He was the next one in line. I was him, and he was me. Oh, what a Joker he would be! Now the darkness closes in; No one's laughing now. I'm stuck in his head and not laughing. I'd be better off dead, and I'm not laughing. I begged and I plead, and he stopped me laughing. If you only knew...the things I did for you... I was the Ace of games... He was my King of Spades... But what a pair; suits clashed in style! It could have worked! This Joker's wild! Oh, I failed, so flushed together; Look who's laughing now. I'm stuck in his head and not laughing. I'd be better off dead, and I'm not laughing. Take Robin instead, and then I'd be laughing! Now I'm finished! Done! I'm through! All because of you. It was my final tour... Always leave them wanting more... But before the curtain call, Make sure you try and slay 'em all! Nothing good can last forever; No one's laughing now. I'm stuck in his head and not laughing. I'd be better off dead, and I'm not laughing. I begged and I plead, but he stopped me laughing. Oh, what can I do? So near, yet far from you... "You're a great crowd. I'll be here all week...try the veal."
you only got one lyric wrong. it’s “I was the Ace of Knaves” (i wouldn’t blame you for mishearing it, though. it’s really hard to decipher what he’s saying through the sobbing)
What makes this sad for me is because the Joker is crying, THE JOKER is crying. He's legitimately miserable, being forgotten in Batman's head forever. I never thought I could see the Joker cry since even when everything is up in flames he's chuckling away and cracking jokes. Like, it's just sad to see that even Joker has a breaking point.
Mister McFakeName in the end he was a murderous artist and his fate was worse than death...to become forgotten and ignored...and dang i guess is voice acting from Mark Hamill but..i also end feeling bad for him in a way.
"You want to know something funny, even after everything you have done, I would've saved you" This just shows how batman, in a weird way, cares about joker. Joker does a wrong thing, batman stops him, joker breaks out, and repeat. Even if joker killed talia al guhl, batman still would have saved him. Batman is the greatest hero ever.
@@heinrichvonschnitzel8600yes. But what you don't understand is that Batman needs Joker as much as Joker needs batman. Joker gave batman purpose. Sure he has other villains now, but Joker was always the one to test Batman to his very limits. Batman enjoyed it as much as Joker did. The two are inseparable
Wow, I guess we're officially saying goodbye to joker forever, huh? Man, when I heard him crying, I wanted to cry alongside him. It was the first time I ever heard Joker crying.
Sam Greenblatt He is a great replacement for the Joker. Stop being one of those little bitches that think Mark Hamill will cast the Joker until the end of time.
***** That's just mean, man. What did I ever do to you? Of COURSE he won't cast Joker till the end of time, he's probably going to die soon, which is when the fandom will weep. Don't be a jerk.
Like how even when joker is actually crying and depressed he still manages to do that iconic laugh simply because he can not help it he wished he could cry but he can not
Perry Marks well last done by rocksteady sefton said if warner bros wanted any one to continue the universe or add different games to the arkham verse like flash or supes or even green arrow as they have all been referenced then they can because its pretty obvious that the new batman is still bruce
Perry Marks be pretty cool if they themselves extended the universe and did a green arrow game because i love bows in game if done right like tlou bow mechanics but with different arrows that green arrow could use like batman using his gadgets
+tazzerdevil98 do people really think Bruce and Alfred died at the end of the game he clearly told Alfred to get ready for nightfall or whatever it was call and "nightfall" was clearly Bruce going of into hiding with no one looking for him because they think he is dead
Mark Hamill was in one of the Flash episodes number 14 I think and he plays a character called The Trickster. He started laughing and you could hear the Joker laugh under it. Mark Hamill is amazing
Lucy Taylor Funny story is that he actually used his mannerisms from the trickster (whom he played in the 90's flash series too) to influence the development of his Joker voice when he started to voice him a couple years later :D. But you can definitely hear the similarities between the two, but they are different in subtle ways.
I love this blues version of what was an already amazing part of the game. The slow and quiet and gentle melody that plays as Joker breaks down is beautifully harrowing. I especially love it when that guitar sneaks it's way into the song at the end.
I mean it's really hard for a writer to make people feel bad for joker, but this game did it, I mean knowing all that joker went through it's hard not to feel sad for him in this song because it's obvious that joker is still awake and conscious.
And so I'm home in the asylum Ever alone in the asylum "No! Don't leave me!" I cried Now I'm locked deep inside His subconscious, trapped forever Look who's laughing now sobs I was the Clown Prince of Crime He was the next in line I was him and he was me Oh, what a Joker he could be Now the darkness closes in No one's laughing now sobs I'm stuck in his head and not laughing I'd be better off dead and I'm not laughing I begged and I plead but he stopped me laughing If you only knew The things I'd do for you I was the Ace of Knaves sobs He was my King of Spades What a pair! Suits clashed in style It could've worked, this Joker's WILD! Oh, I felt so flushed together Look who's laughing now sobs I'm stuck in his head and not laughing I'd be better off dead and I'm not laughing Take Robin instead! Then I'd be laughing I'm finished, done, I'm through All because of you It was my final tour Always leave them wanting more But before the curtain call Make sure you try and slay 'em all! Nothing good can last forever No one's laughing now sobs I'm stuck in his head and not laughing I'd be better off dead and I'm not laughing I begged and I plead but he stopped me laughing Oh, what can I do? So near, yet far from you breaks down in mixed laughter and tears You're a great crowd. I'll be here all week; try the veal
Kevin Jimenez Yeah, but he wanted others to remember him too. However, Batman has shown him that he will be forgotten by every person in the world eventually, so in a way he's dead. It is said a person is truly dead when they are forgotten, so in a way Joker can truly be dead; FINALLY!
When I played Arkham Knight I was really surprised on how much they improved the formula since Asylum and perfection in City. Only issues I had was some predictability of the plot and who the Knight was, and glitches on I had playing on the Xbox one but after 100% this game and hearing Joker sing with sorrow and bravado If thats a good word for it, made me feel grand content. Mark Hamill is the Joker for us, yeah there's others like Ledger, Nicholson, even Romero or Leto in the future. But I can say that to most Hamill is and was the Joker since we saw the Animated Series
My brother moved away today and it’s all my fault. I’ll always remember playing this game with my brother and now I feel like joker. I miss so him so much
Thank you for not talking in any of your videos. Some ppl just love to hear themselves talk when all we wanna do is watch the game play without them talking. So I applaud you for doing what most ppl seem to find a hard time doing sir.
skrewheadsailor well it is all depends on what you want. if you want to hear comedy while they are playing then some of then is a good choice but if you just want to see a walkthrough then him and some other people are good choice
skrewheadsailor They don't "have a hard time" doing it: they realize that it ISN'T ENTERTAINING. There's a reason Pewdiepie and Markiplier et al are popular - because we don't want to WATCH THE GAME, we want to WATCH THEM PLAY THE GAME, a very different concept. So speak for your fucking self. "We" don't one and all want to just sit and watch a game with no commentary.
skrewheadsailor its all preference i used to watch media cows because i like their commentary on top of the game but i realized when it came to me playing the game it didnt have the same feeling as to when i was watching them because of the commentary so i deiced to stop watching them as it was swaying my opinion of the game
+skrewheadsailor The reason there aren't a lot of people that do just gameplay with no commentary is because you really only need 1 person to do that. If there's no commentary, watching 1 person's gameplay would be exactly the same as watching another.
I'm pretty sure it'd be hard for people to forget about the Joker. I mean, after all the shit he's done? He left an impact on Gotham that was bound to last at least a century.
Wow... I never thought I would feel sad about the most psychotic murderous clown prince of crime, but dang, think about it. He started as a sad middle-age man who was horrible at stand up comedy and was shunned for it, so he took a mysterious job that ended up being robbing ave chemicals, a little scuffle with the bat turned him insane clown, then his wife died, so he murdered lots of people... joker stuff, and ended up stuck inside the mind of Bruce Wayne. You could make the argument the end scene was a metaphor, but he totally made up that song in the end. Damn, joker had a solid motivation!
I never thought I’d feel bad for the Joker, but somehow I do now. He doesn’t know what happened to him or what happened to his family. But he definitely deserves whatever for all the people he’s killed. In this game he is now locked away in a cage in Batman’s deep subconscious for all of eternity. Rip Mr. J
Poor Joker he lost his wife and future kid and dropped into a vat of acid because of batman then out of revenge and insanity started killing he didn't deserve to die the way he did. 😭
"Take Robin Instead then I'd be laughing"
Even though this is sad, it is funny at this part!
Yep
I would definitely prefer that
@Geralt of Trivia all 4 joker just built different 🥶😈
2:42
I don't think what Joker cared about was that the world forgot him, as everyone completely forgetting about him isn't possible. I think what he couldn't stand was if BATMAN forgot him.
now THAT makes sense
Well, put it this way. The world forgetting him would definitely be a significant blow since he's all about making a good show. But Bats himself forgetting him would be the final nail to the coffin. (Ironic that I mention coffin since his body was actually burned.)
I think they were both equally important in finally breaking the Joker's spirit. Whatever life the Joker exactly had, before he got bleached by acid as the Red Hood, we know he was a normal guy who had hopes, dreams, and maybe some family he loved, before losing it all in one bad day, like Bruce Wayne did. Unlike Batman, he gave up all hope that the world could ever be good and just, so he took on a nihilistic worldview.
The fact that the Joker also had this God-complex motivated him to become that agent of chaos, to prove his philosophy to the rest of humanity. Because Batman shared so much in common with the Joker, but could directly oppose his ideals, the Joker developed a kind of twisted friendship with him. Joker had some admiration for Batman on one hand, since he sees a little of himself in the Bat and knows they can both understand each other in an intimate personal way. On the other hand, Batman also gave Joker someone to pit himself against and see if he could win, while Gotham watches them fight. He wants to break the spirit of Gotham and thinks Batman could help him accomplish that, by giving everyone a chance to see their cherished hero(es) being destroyed/corrupted by the anarchy he spreads.
So when both the Gothamites and Batman forget about him, the Joker is terrified and broken, because it means that he was wrong his entire life. With Batman forgetting him, it is like he ideals are defeated in an abstract philosophical sense, and when the public forgets about him, his ideals are shown to be defeated, even when put into practice. People do have the ability to rise of overcome the greatest hell on Earth and chaos is not the ultimate fate of humanity, that he thought it was.
This is a very well-done argument. Impressive work.
Being forgotten by the people of Gotham is more symbolic than physical, as you said it yourself, it is just impossible for the world to forget him. symbolically however, if Batman, & in extension, the ENTIRE Gotham would eventually forget him, that meant that they are actually capable of rising above what he symbolized-despair, chaos, cruelty, & that life was nothing but a brutal joke-& making what Batman is fighting for so relentlessly, a reality. his ideals, his way of life, his very existence, completely denied by all around him, & reality actually manages to stick a solid middle finger in his face, & he suffers his ultimate defeat.
This actually made me cry. I couldn't even imagine Joker crying.
Same man, heartbreaking
Batman's dead, the joker is dead, Wtf! Arkham games. You tear jerked me for the last time!

i think he's more on the latter half of that statement.
That’s cuz he is
Jacky the Clown probably is
Hmm... So wait, that means. Joker in a sense is still alive, he's still in Bruce's mind. Just trapped there in his own mind-scape, now that's just sad. Mark did really good in this game
Which proves Batman is alive...
HonorAmongScars Yeah, it was pretty obvious he faked his death. I thought he really killed off Joker, I guess he still wanted him around. Might've felt empty without him.
STH19 it just emotional when joker say to batman when he was trapped "I NEED YOU"
CharacterInYou newbs Yeah that bit really got me, and his voice when he said it. It was just surprising.
STH19 joker may appear in the new batman may be because the real ending shows batman like the joker's vision of batman
I think in the end Joker's greatest fear wasn't that everyone else would forget him. It was knowing that Batman would.
Well of course he’s never gonna forget him. He killed the only person he’s ever loved(his baby mama too), who he thought of essentially as a second son, and God knows how many people.

you only got one lyric wrong. it’s “I was the Ace of Knaves” (i wouldn’t blame you for mishearing it, though. it’s really hard to decipher what he’s saying through the sobbing)
I'll always remember you joker. And your singing was fantastic.
Fuck, Mark Hamill don't get me misty eyed for the death of a horrible psychopath. :*o
Hits totally different now
What makes this sad for me is because the Joker is crying, THE JOKER is crying. He's legitimately miserable, being forgotten in Batman's head forever. I never thought I could see the Joker cry since even when everything is up in flames he's chuckling away and cracking jokes. Like, it's just sad to see that even Joker has a breaking point.
And this is the second time I feel bad for the Joker. Goddamnit Rocksteady! Stop making me care about the deadliest Bataman villain in existence.
Mister McFakeName in the end he was a murderous artist and his fate was worse than death...to become forgotten and ignored...and dang i guess is voice acting from Mark Hamill but..i also end feeling bad for him in a way.
When was the first time you felt bad for him
Max Orsolini When he died of Titan poisoning.
Mono Chaos I felt bad about that one bad day when he actually BECAME the Joker. (See The Killing Joke for more information)
It is so sad to hear Joker cry!
The saddest thing ever is hearing joker cry
Thewaddledeegamer what about him crying and laughing?
Ikr he was laughing like a clown now he's sad because he's locked in Batman minds
Now as I hear Joker crying, all I can imagine is he’s crying over Kevin Conroy
And Arleen Sorkin.
"You want to know something funny, even after everything you have done, I would've saved you"
This just shows how batman, in a weird way, cares about joker. Joker does a wrong thing, batman stops him, joker breaks out, and repeat.
Even if joker killed talia al guhl, batman still would have saved him. Batman is the greatest hero ever.
He doesn't give a fuck for Joker it's just in his code that he saves everyone he can and never kills anyone.
@@heinrichvonschnitzel8600 copium
@@heinrichvonschnitzel8600yes. But what you don't understand is that Batman needs Joker as much as Joker needs batman. Joker gave batman purpose. Sure he has other villains now, but Joker was always the one to test Batman to his very limits. Batman enjoyed it as much as Joker did. The two are inseparable
Wow, I guess we're officially saying goodbye to joker forever, huh?
Man, when I heard him crying, I wanted to cry alongside him. It was the first time I ever heard Joker crying.
2:34 Joker lost some teeth
3:54 Joker had his teeth grow back
This is like a sad trip down memory lane bacause I played all the Arkham games
MysticGunshotz me too
When Mark Hamil dies, joker will die with him forever
We still got Troy Baker
***** No. Just NO.
Sam Greenblatt He is a great replacement for the Joker. Stop being one of those little bitches that think Mark Hamill will cast the Joker until the end of time.
***** That's just mean, man. What did I ever do to you? Of COURSE he won't cast Joker till the end of time, he's probably going to die soon, which is when the fandom will weep. Don't be a jerk.
Sam Greenblatt I think YOU sir, crossed that line when you said "No. Just NO".
One of my favourite video game credits. It’s so calm and peaceful and also nostalgic with the images on the side
It's the perfect sendoff something only a handful of games do well.
Poor Mr.J............
WTF I MISSED THIS, I WENT TO THE BATHROOM
This is the Joker/Mark Hamill after the death of Batman/Kevin Conroy.
"Without Batman, crime has no punchline..."
Like how even when joker is actually crying and depressed he still manages to do that iconic laugh simply because he can not help it he wished he could cry but he can not
This has got to be the best video game franchise EVER! RIP ARKHAM!😢
Made me cry :( I love Joker D:
Sooo, This is the last Batman Game huh?, It's been hell of a fucking Ride, I'm a bit Emotional.
Best game trilogy ever.
Perry Marks well last done by rocksteady sefton said if warner bros wanted any one to continue the universe or add different games to the arkham verse like flash or supes or even green arrow as they have all been referenced then they can because its pretty obvious that the new batman is still bruce
tazzerdevil98 I see you...
Perry Marks be pretty cool if they themselves extended the universe and did a green arrow game because i love bows in game if done right like tlou bow mechanics but with different arrows that green arrow could use like batman using his gadgets
+tazzerdevil98 do people really think Bruce and Alfred died at the end of the game he clearly told Alfred to get ready for nightfall or whatever it was call and "nightfall" was clearly Bruce going of into hiding with no one looking for him because they think he is dead
The Joker. Best blues singer who ever lived
Is he... crying? All these years... hearing him laugh through all sorts of stuff. But this? I think I’m gonna lie down and cry a little bit.
Don't worry Joker 🃏, we'll miss him too... R.I.P 🦇
Mark Hamill was in one of the Flash episodes number 14 I think and he plays a character called The Trickster. He started laughing and you could hear the Joker laugh under it. Mark Hamill is amazing
Lucy Taylor Funny story is that he actually used his mannerisms from the trickster (whom he played in the 90's flash series too) to influence the development of his Joker voice when he started to voice him a couple years later :D. But you can definitely hear the similarities between the two, but they are different in subtle ways.
I never knew that! That's really cool :) Thanks for telling me! DELTAJM0310
Episode 17
It's just like a requiem for Kevin Conroy. You will be in our hearts forever as 80s&90s kids. Rest in Peace 🙏
I love this blues version of what was an already amazing part of the game. The slow and quiet and gentle melody that plays as Joker breaks down is beautifully harrowing. I especially love it when that guitar sneaks it's way into the song at the end.
This game is even more epic than the "Dark Knight Trilogy" films.
Ballsy move my friend.
I mean it's really hard for a writer to make people feel bad for joker, but this game did it, I mean knowing all that joker went through it's hard not to feel sad for him in this song because it's obvious that joker is still awake and conscious.
Mark Hamill owns these games in this role,totally carries the story..captivating performance ever since he voiced the cartoons..
this literally broke my heart wtf I'm
And so I'm home in the asylum
Ever alone in the asylum
"No! Don't leave me!" I cried
Now I'm locked deep inside
His subconscious, trapped forever
Look who's laughing now
sobs
I was the Clown Prince of Crime
He was the next in line
I was him and he was me
Oh, what a Joker he could be
Now the darkness closes in
No one's laughing now
sobs
I'm stuck in his head and not laughing
I'd be better off dead and I'm not laughing
I begged and I plead but he stopped me laughing
If you only knew
The things I'd do for you
I was the Ace of Knaves sobs
He was my King of Spades
What a pair! Suits clashed in style
It could've worked, this Joker's WILD!
Oh, I felt so flushed together
Look who's laughing now
sobs
I'm stuck in his head and not laughing
I'd be better off dead and I'm not laughing
Take Robin instead! Then I'd be laughing
I'm finished, done, I'm through
All because of you
It was my final tour
Always leave them wanting more
But before the curtain call
Make sure you try and slay 'em all!
Nothing good can last forever
No one's laughing now
sobs
I'm stuck in his head and not laughing
I'd be better off dead and I'm not laughing
I begged and I plead but he stopped me laughing
Oh, what can I do?
So near, yet far from you
breaks down in mixed laughter and tears
You're a great crowd. I'll be here all week; try the veal
thank you
"Mommy, why is the clown sad?"
"Because he's lost and forgotten."
"...Okay. Can we stop for ice cream?"
BWF
R.I.P. Kevin.🦇 We'll miss ya batsy, especially ol' Joker...
Am I only one who comes back to this song every now and then ? Genuinely miss the Arkham games !
So the Joker canonically lives in Batman’s mind rent free
Anyone else feel sorry for the Joker after hearing this song?
squallcloudzell (sniff...sobs) what do you think? 😭
Absolutely not. Call me cold, but that monster doesn't deserve the luxury of crying after everything he's done.
@@arikutin1032 True but joker is the only one who really understood him.
After what he did to Jason? Not at all.
Hang on... I forgot his name again.
Never mind. It doesn't matter.
@@jasperhardy3844 no see the killing jokes and the comics
For the love of god, I can't take Hamill being gone again. Someone MUST animate 'The Killing Joke'.
MrMyster1ous i hope you're happy. DC is making it (as i've heard)
Kobe Bonhomme I heard that too...AND I"M STOKED!!!
MrMyster1ous 1 year later...
Be careful of what you wish for.....
Unfortunately, they did it, and it sucked.
wow...this is the first time to hear Joker cry. Is he singing blues here?
Yi Ching Lau i think this is because he is forgoten and now he is trapped inside batman and i think the true ending is jokers version batman
CharacterInYou newbs
CharacterInYou newbs you can say that he will be with batman for the rest of his life now
Kevin Jimenez and the finish ending you can hear joker scream when nightmare batman make the thugs scared
Kevin Jimenez Yeah, but he wanted others to remember him too. However, Batman has shown him that he will be forgotten by every person in the world eventually, so in a way he's dead. It is said a person is truly dead when they are forgotten, so in a way Joker can truly be dead; FINALLY!
I feel like that last bit about the veal was definitely ad libbed, gotta love Mark Hamill
Wait what did the Joker say it seem like a Easter egg
I know we all loved his performance in The Killing Joke, but does anyone else feel like this game is his TRUE magnum opus??
When I played Arkham Knight I was really surprised on how much they improved the formula since Asylum and perfection in City. Only issues I had was some predictability of the plot and who the Knight was, and glitches on I had playing on the Xbox one but after 100% this game and hearing Joker sing with sorrow and bravado If thats a good word for it, made me feel grand content. Mark Hamill is the Joker for us, yeah there's others like Ledger, Nicholson, even Romero or Leto in the future. But I can say that to most Hamill is and was the Joker since we saw the Animated Series
My brother moved away today and it’s all my fault. I’ll always remember playing this game with my brother and now I feel like joker. I miss so him so much
Thank you for not talking in any of your videos. Some ppl just love to hear themselves talk when all we wanna do is watch the game play without them talking. So I applaud you for doing what most ppl seem to find a hard time doing sir.
skrewheadsailor well it is all depends on what you want. if you want to hear comedy while they are playing then some of then is a good choice but if you just want to see a walkthrough then him and some other people are good choice
skrewheadsailor They don't "have a hard time" doing it: they realize that it ISN'T ENTERTAINING. There's a reason Pewdiepie and Markiplier et al are popular - because we don't want to WATCH THE GAME, we want to WATCH THEM PLAY THE GAME, a very different concept.
So speak for your fucking self. "We" don't one and all want to just sit and watch a game with no commentary.
skrewheadsailor its all preference i used to watch media cows because i like their commentary on top of the game but i realized when it came to me playing the game it didnt have the same feeling as to when i was watching them because of the commentary so i deiced to stop watching them as it was swaying my opinion of the game
DracoHandsome uh...there's just as much commentary as there is not. So, "speak for your fucking self."
+skrewheadsailor The reason there aren't a lot of people that do just gameplay with no commentary is because you really only need 1 person to do that. If there's no commentary, watching 1 person's gameplay would be exactly the same as watching another.
Mark Hamill is badass
Still hits hard. Even more harder the fact that Kevin's passed away. R.I.P, he was my childhood hero.
Joker: You're a great crowd. I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
After hearing this I feel sorry for the joker
How could anyone not?😢
@@jasperhardy3844ask Jason Todd
The day the clown cried.
And he cries not for the passing of one man,
but for the death of the dream.
I'm pretty sure it'd be hard for people to forget about the Joker. I mean, after all the shit he's done? He left an impact on Gotham that was bound to last at least a century.
I actually feel sorry for joker. The only time he has ever cried.. );
Can’t help but imagine Joker singing this at a bar in hell. 😂
At the point when he cried and laughed, I did just that as well.
this hits different after kevin conroy died
Canon
Wow... I never thought I would feel sad about the most psychotic murderous clown prince of crime, but dang, think about it. He started as a sad middle-age man who was horrible at stand up comedy and was shunned for it, so he took a mysterious job that ended up being robbing ave chemicals, a little scuffle with the bat turned him insane clown, then his wife died, so he murdered lots of people... joker stuff, and ended up stuck inside the mind of Bruce Wayne. You could make the argument the end scene was a metaphor, but he totally made up that song in the end. Damn, joker had a solid motivation!
😭 I MISS JOKER ALWAYS BY ME DURING MY MISSIONS!!!!
R.I.P Joker
In a way i miss him
Joker crying is one of the saddest thing I ever heard
With Kevin Conroy’s passing this hits harder. 😢😢😢😢 I see joker singing this hearing about his passing. 😢
I feel so bad for joker hearing him sing.
Never heard this version before especially in credits Love both versions
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly
He wants bats bacc
They kept his appearance quite quiet until release because how can you have a batman arkham game without the joker.
I never thought I’d feel bad for the Joker, but somehow I do now. He doesn’t know what happened to him or what happened to his family. But he definitely deserves whatever for all the people he’s killed. In this game he is now locked away in a cage in Batman’s deep subconscious for all of eternity. Rip Mr. J
100% completion was worth it for this alone tbh.
Even though hes not laughing now.
He cant stop laughing
is it weird that this actually makes me feel bad for The Joker?
"Ah, you're a great crowd. I'll be here all week; try the veal."
i cryed so hard at this song
0:23 John Gay. :)
Poor Joker he lost his wife and future kid and dropped into a vat of acid because of batman then out of revenge and insanity started killing he didn't deserve to die the way he did. 😭
@Thomas Winz nah he’s talking about The Killing Joke
it’s really not
Well that broke my fucking heart
