The nod of respect Freeze and Gordon had was such a good moment. No words needed, they know this changes nothing about their occupations, just making it clear to both of them that when there's no other choice, they have each other's back.
Villains having the potential to reform is critical to rationalizing the no-kill rule. Almost every one of Batman's rogues gallery has turned good at one point, even in the main continuity. When Paul Dini was on Detective Comics, he went on a long streak of having bad guys turn good.
@Will N Batman's TellTale series actually had a really good "Redeemable" Joker. That's probably the closest I've ever come to truly liking and feeling sorry for the Joker.
Villains that don't kill innocents; Ivy, Harley, Two-Face, Bane, and yes, Ras, the latter having a strict code to be better than Batman, by showing the civilians of Gotham that the league of assassins kill bad guys, and not just lock them up. Bane also leaves the guards and or police, tied up or beat down, but never dead, when committing a robbery.
@@vandalg282that's dope. I didn't know bane left em alive. Id assume he'd accidentally kill regular cops and stuff all the time in his venomed up rage lol
Any story line where Gotham itself plays a roll against a wider threat makes my heart warm up, it’s a old, sick, crumbling and dark city but it’s very much alive and it’s survived this long for a reason.
The Deathstroke one makes sense. He’s not just a plain villain. Man goes where he sees fit or where the money goes or just does what he believes in. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad.
Can we as a community forget the Injustice movie exists? I can't imagine dropping the ball that hard when you've got a distinct and amazing path to follow.
With all of the villans coming to the worlds aid in The Villians of Gothem entry just makes me think of what Joker says to Red Skull, "I may be a criminal lunatic, but I'm an AMERICAN CRIMINAL LUNATIC"
Out of all of em, Joker definitely helped him out the most. He’s literally obsessed with him because he is his exact opposite in every way. Joker is yin and Batman is yang. ☯️
@@sammy_slammy Eh my guess is that HE wants to be the one to break batman's code. If another villan does it first, then he has failed what he wanted to accomplish.
Or too much pride. A lot of villains wanna be the ones to kill batman. Some just want him out of the way like mister freeze but some want the achievement of beating batman like the Riddler.
Can you imagine watching Ledger's Joker and Bale's Batman going against Hardy's Bane in the final moments? Would have been more than amazing, it would have been legendary.
14:10 How poetically twisted that scenario is. After all you do and endure, all of reality turns against you. But the one constant, an undying source of torment, ends up being your rock to pull your ass from the fire. Fucking hell
My favorite moments where the Villains came to the rescue It's during the Batman TAS Ep Trial. When the villians got loose In Arkham and captured Batman and put him In trial for his crimes against them I do believe the Joker was stalling for the cops In order to get to Arkham to save Batman or for Batman finding a way to escape. Cause there's no way he'll let the other villains have their way with him. Another moment where the Joker save Batman Is during a Justice League Ep. Where the Injustice captured Batman although he may have ambush him he again stalled for time for the Justice League to get there.
Thanks for mentioning TAS Ep Trial. That's a great suggestion. Justice League Injustice Ep. is somewhat different. When their plan falied, Joker tried to kill Batman by himself. Everytime he tried to kill him but Luthor didn't allow.
@Top Flix He's probably doing a little bit of both. Trying to kill him and buy him time to save himself. Either way 1 thing I learn from the Joker no Batman no punchline.
For anyone wondering what the background character is at "the greatest mercenary" (02:13) it's the main character from the web novel "teenage mercenary", literally nothing to do with batman lol
In an uber-rare story (part of a trilogy), Joker reveals to a shocked Alfred, “I’m crazy, not stupid! I’ve known who Batman is for YEARS! I’ve just chosen never to say anything! It’s way more fun this way!” He then proceeds to move into Wayne Manor--and Batman lets him. In Part I of the trilogy, “April Fool”, Joker discovers that he’s a father, and irony of ironies it’s Batman he has to thank for being reunited with his daughter. Another delicious irony is it’s Batman Joker appoints to basically be his daughter’s godfather. And there’s a beautiful heart-tugging scene between Joker and Batman in a hospital where they actually become friends, if only for the moment (Joker gets a really good monologue during that scene, too). Joker comes THIS close to reforming because of his daughter--but tragedy shatters that joy and hope, leaving him and Batman with something poignantly painful in common, the loss of a loved one. In Part II, “Lovelorn”, an assassin takes advantage of a still-grieving and emotionally-vulnerable Joker, and tricks him into believing the reason why he’s so obsessed with Batman is because he is in actuality in love with him. And the assassin makes a very persuasive argument and produces convincing-enough evidence as well. So Joker goes to Batman, levels with him (almost getting leveled himself in the process), and asks him what it will take to convince Batman he’s telling the truth, that he’s not joking for once. And Batman sets Joker with an almost impossible task: “No--more--killing.” He makes it crystal clear that’s the only thing he will accept as proof, understandably leaving Joker (and everyone else) in great concern and doubt. Meanwhile, the assassin tries to kill Batman--but Batman isn’t the assassin’s real target, it’s someone else. And the assassin manages to succeed in killing that someone else because of the trick pulled on Joker. In Part III, “Wedding Blues For Batman”, Joker is fully aware now his supposed love for Batman was just an assassin’s ploy--but he’s having way too much fun now to stop. And he presents Batman with an offer he can’t refuse: if Batman says “I do”, then Joker says “I quit” and goes into retirement effective immediately. And if Joker wants to stay married to Batman, then he has to stay retired and be good. Everybody except Joker is against this wedding--for various reasons--but nobody can stop it because a tamed Joker is infinitely more preferable than the old Joker. And Joker gleefully prepares to claim the victory over Batman that he can hold over his head ‘til death do they part. So--how in the world is Batman gonna get out of THIS one? Sorry! Not gonna spoil the ending!
@@TopFlix I really like the artwork for the three covers, too. For “Part I: April Fool”, a young woman with a mischievous smirk on her face is looking out and holding up a joker card, with Joker on her right side and Batman on her left, and they’re warily looking at each other. For “Part II: Lovelorn”, both Batman and Joker are facing a headstone which reads ‘Beloved Daughter’, Joker is on his knees with grief, and Batman is actually providing comfort to Joker with a gentle hand to his shoulder. Finally, for “Part III: Wedding Blues For Batman”, in the background a bride is standing with back towards the viewer, but half-turned so it’s revealed to be Joker, grinning and singing, “Here comes the bride--!” And when we follow Joker’s gaze, we see Batman in the foreground, wearing a bow tie, on his knees looking out desperately and going, “Someone PLEASE save me!”
There's more then a few times where villains in general switch sides. when Darkside tried to invade earth, again, you had hero and villian standing side by side... with Lex sacrificing himself with the help of one of the new gods to end both himself and darkside.
I do love that everyone has respect for Batman the cops, the people of Gotham, The Bat Family, and even the villains. It says a lot that everyone has respect for the Dark Knight and it’s awesome! 🖤🦇
Honestly if you think about it the riddler could be more of an antihero than a villian. Most of the time all he wants to do is challenge batman to make him smarter because to riddler this is nobody that can challenge him intellectually more than batman.
Its all about respect. Batman never really insulted his enemies. Maybe a small remark here or there, but mostly above the board. And he always wanted to change their lives for the positive and get them medical attention when they were hurt and so on. There really is some honor among thieves and Batman does everything to earn a showing of it.
This is one of those things you inherently know, but don't actively think about often. That "holy musical b@tman" uh.. musical hit on a good point I think. It absolutely wouldn't surprise me if batman actually fell to depression if joker died. (If there's an arc about that already, I haven't read it yet)
i love that saying no matter how much you push your family away they will never abandon you and come to your aid you now that saying is deep fucking deep i respect that 🥲
I still remember how Mr. Freeze saved Batman, Barbara Gordon, Nora Fries and an orphan boy stuck in the elevator while the oil rig was on fire by freezing its cables in animated movie Sub-Zero.
For Joker, Batman is his favorite kind of joke: the joke that never ends. So, naturally, the clown Prince would rather die than see someone take his favorite joke away from him.
There's a comic that I remember that Joker successfully killed Batman and all the villains showed up to either his funeral or grave and said, "Joker will pay for what he's done" (something like that) That shows how much his rogues respected him
Joker likes to beat up Batman just because it's entertaining. He loves to see Batman try to make sense of his chaos. Killing him off is the last thing that he wants to do. Once Batman dies, so does the Joker.
Jocker would never let Batman die or lose unless it was by his hands. I forgot what series it was, but at a point Harley realized the only person Joker loved was Batman.
Its all about of the glory of the hunt. Glory goes to the victor. They compete for the head of Batman and won't share the glory of victory with anyone.
Batman No-kill rule is a really respectable one And here we actually see the fruits of it His villains respect him They may hate him But they would hate more to not have him around
Unrelated to the video. In Batman (1989), the mob boss tells Joker "You are my number one guy!" The mob boss betrays him. Later, Joker is telling his second in command "You are my number one guy!" When Joker said that, that was foreshadowing the betrayal or death of his second in command, which he kills near the end of the movie.
Not exactly Joker and Batman saving each other, but I really like Batman Black and White: It's a Black and White World. The Batman comics are created on a soundstage. Batman arrives to find out that production is running behind schedule and is asked to wait in the greenroom. There, we find Joker doing a crossword puzzle. While waiting, the two decide to rehearse the fight scene. Joker mentions that times were hard, complained about "oof" being hokey forever, but us grateful to be able to say the line. Talked about how Mr. Freeze and his family were doing. They perform their scene, and then the production breaks for lunch. The two stars walk to the canteen, side by side, as the old friends they always were
That's the reason why the outside villains will never understand, you really can't defeat Batman because Batman is so much more then himself, he's always got somebody behind him if it's not the Joker it's somebody else. It seems like despite everybody's Insanity they all realize the world isn't black and white, it's gray and if they don't do this tussle, keep this balance up then somebody who is going to do a lot more damage and cause a lot more problems is going to replace them and nobody wants that.
I distinctly remember a comic where Joker, Penguin, and Two-Face manage to fatally poison Batman . . . . until Robin convinces Two-Face to let his coin decide, at which point Two-Face forces the other two to hand Robin the antidote at gunpoint.
Also another one from the new52, where batman is gone I cant remember where, but Gotham was in flames. Twoface flips a coin, one side is I'll protect Gotham the other one is destroy it with the rest. He flips it and helps Gotham
Honestly because all of Batman’s villains have a character that is complex in a way, Batman in a sense respect’s the gangs by almost never trying to ruin the balance of power within Gotham. The villains respect Batman as the one to keep that balance of power in check
For most of them he’s got a really well established rapport. He’ll still give them a concussion and break a leg/arm but there’s a level of respect cuz he still views them as people (for the most part Joker’s kinda hit or miss). My personal favorite is his relationship with Freeze immediately followed by Cobblepot/Ivy. He always tries to help Freeze with his wife or at least help keep her alive. And in one continuity, if I remember correctly, he legit went to The Iceberg Lounge and was like, “Ight Oswald where is the dude hiding?” (I think it was Scarecrow?) and bro just immediately sold him out and when Scarecrow was like, “Penguin what the fuck?” Cobblepot just responded, “This is a ‘legitimate’ business man.” Showing that while he and everyone else knows he’s got some under the table illegal or questionable shit going on Batman hasn’t tried to have it shut down or him arrested as long as he’s not doing the same sort of shit it was before (like diamond/cash/jewelry heists or obvious arms deals) With Ivy it’s also kinda hit or miss but more in the way of if they help one another when it’s necessary or Bats just stops Ivy when she’s doing shit then pops her back into Arkham as opposed to with Joker where he views him as legitimate fucking issue for society. But Bats tends to respect the scientist side of her and if I remember correctly seems to give her less broken parts than say Scarecrow/Dent or even Man-Bat. I also think he tends to talk to her more/in a more respectful way when they are having to fight
@@dylanlancaster2157 reminds me of the clip when he’s telling the trickster “James you’re off your meds again… turn yourself in and I’ll come visit you every week. We can play darts!” It’s good to show kids heroes that don’t just beat tf outta the mentally ill
That really was comedy gold! Fighting for his life, and Joker is having an emotional breakdown over Batman fighting another villain. I mean... How egocentric is Joker, to not realize Batman spends most of his nights fighting other villains? It's in the news, after all. And certainly more than once right in front of him. Totally Joker move, of course. Wish I'd seen the episode...
@@TopFlixin the flashpoint universe created by Flash, the Joker IS Batman’s wife! (Driven insane by watching her little son Bruce die in front of her. And her husband, Bruce’s father Thomas Wayne, becomes The Batman.
I get the feeling that it's because all of them want to be the ones to kill him. They don't want to let anybody else manage it, so they'll even go so far as to help Batman simply to avoid 'losing'.
@Deborah-hc8nf isn’t that literally one of the first things shown in the video? They had a competition on who could unmask Batman, so when the PD got involved, they were all like “aw HELL NO!!!” and just rolled with it lol.
@@Deborah-hc8nf Sometimes. Other times they're genuinely searching for redemption or have other reasons. There is a comic where Harley Quinn escapes Arkham to help Batman in finding the new Ventrilloquist (Peyton Riley) after the death of Arnold Wesker. She does this because she was actually close to Arnold Wesker, after she was sent to Arkham without the Joker. She basically tells Batman that if Arkham is a scary place for the guards and heroes, he should imagine what it is like for the inmates and that when she got there, Wesker was nice to her and tried to cheer her up. So she feels that she owes it to him to stop the imposter. She is a genuine help to Batman in this comic.
@@YumiYuna. Don't forget Hal, it took hell of a time to redeem himself to being a Green Lantern again on the eyes of the Guardians and convince Batman's group his on their side.
@@YumiYuna. They are but they abided a nazi regime. They're as bad as Superman because they chose to let evil happen as people who should stand against it.
Here's the thing joker likes Batman and Batman sees him as someone who needs to be stopped and without him it feels weird because he's been around ever since bruce became Batman

I imagine it feels like someone else coming in and destroying your lego sets. It's YOURS to destroy.
Well most villains just terrorize their city.
But they still want a city to terrorize.
Can't do that if it gets wrecked by some other villain.

Lego Banes voice was spot on for a comical rendition of the character
It just goes to show you that even if villains don’t like you, they do respect you sometimes that respect we’ll get you places
"You had me at 'Shut Up'. "
that's what i love about these guys when it boils down to it they will defend their city because if they cant rule it no one can
I still remember how Mr. Freeze saved Batman, Barbara Gordon, Nora Fries and an orphan boy stuck in the elevator while the oil rig was on fire by freezing its cables in animated movie Sub-Zero.
Thanks for commenting that
Batman just be chilling while he's in an fighting Imao
5$ says 01 is joker not letting anyone but him truly beat bats
For Joker, Batman is his favorite kind of joke: the joke that never ends.
So, naturally, the clown Prince would rather die than see someone take his favorite joke away from him.
There's a comic that I remember that Joker successfully killed Batman and all the villains showed up to either his funeral or grave and said, "Joker will pay for what he's done" (something like that)
That shows how much his rogues respected him
This was a great video! 👏🏾
Glad you liked it Man !!
Batman and Joker: fiction's greatest not a couple
2:13
The character there is called
Yu Ijin from the Manhwa "Mercenary Enrollment"
What about the story arc when Batman called upon joker to take down the Joker Who Laughs. I forget the issue but that was definitely a good one
3:15 The worlds greatest mercenary once said: "Professionals have standards."
Joker from 2005 the one with dreads is still one of the best jokers I’ve seen and I’ve only seen him in Batman vs Dracula which says a lot
Joker likes to beat up Batman just because it's entertaining. He loves to see Batman try to make sense of his chaos. Killing him off is the last thing that he wants to do. Once Batman dies, so does the Joker.
Batman captures you, Joker kills you.
Don't mess with jokers prize.
Los villanos de Batman son más amigos de Batman que la propia Liga de la Justicia- XD
Jocker would never let Batman die or lose unless it was by his hands. I forgot what series it was, but at a point Harley realized the only person Joker loved was Batman.
Its all about of the glory of the hunt. Glory goes to the victor. They compete for the head of Batman and won't share the glory of victory with anyone.
It is funny how Joker figures out evil Batman is an imposter. Justice League, do some homework.😂😂😂😂😂
A True Enemy, who knows you in and out, more than your friends.
Batman No-kill rule is a really respectable one
And here we actually see the fruits of it
His villains respect him
They may hate him
But they would hate more to not have him around
Unrelated to the video. In Batman (1989), the mob boss tells Joker "You are my number one guy!" The mob boss betrays him. Later, Joker is telling his second in command "You are my number one guy!" When Joker said that, that was foreshadowing the betrayal or death of his second in command, which he kills near the end of the movie.
Professionals have standards
Not exactly Joker and Batman saving each other, but I really like Batman Black and White: It's a Black and White World.
The Batman comics are created on a soundstage. Batman arrives to find out that production is running behind schedule and is asked to wait in the greenroom. There, we find Joker doing a crossword puzzle. While waiting, the two decide to rehearse the fight scene. Joker mentions that times were hard, complained about "oof" being hokey forever, but us grateful to be able to say the line. Talked about how Mr. Freeze and his family were doing. They perform their scene, and then the production breaks for lunch. The two stars walk to the canteen, side by side, as the old friends they always were
The real question is how do you project something in the sky upside down? Surely whether is not it’s upside down is a matter of perspective?
Turning the Bat-signal half around
I love how good this video is...until the end where we get lego and an absolute cringefest. But hey, what else can one expect of a lego game lol
Thank You for the honest remark
That's the reason why the outside villains will never understand, you really can't defeat Batman because Batman is so much more then himself, he's always got somebody behind him if it's not the Joker it's somebody else.
It seems like despite everybody's Insanity they all realize the world isn't black and white, it's gray and if they don't do this tussle, keep this balance up then somebody who is going to do a lot more damage and cause a lot more problems is going to replace them and nobody wants that.
Also the time in the New 52 comics when Batman had to team up with Joker to fight the Batman Who Laughs.
Normally I say a comment on every video I watch, (or try to) but I have nothing to say here except, " *_Nice_* "
Thank You for your Appreciation
I feel like Batman's villains/Rogue's Gallery all seem to care about him to varying degrees.
Lego batman is the greatest love story of all times, change my mind.
If this was supposed to be 5 times batman was saved by villains then top flix has way more than 5 fingers on his hand.
nobody gonna acknowledge that he said green hour? 2:20
I distinctly remember a comic where Joker, Penguin, and Two-Face manage to fatally poison Batman . . . . until Robin convinces Two-Face to let his coin decide, at which point Two-Face forces the other two to hand Robin the antidote at gunpoint.
Thank You for sharing that.
Also another one from the new52, where batman is gone I cant remember where, but Gotham was in flames. Twoface flips a coin, one side is I'll protect Gotham the other one is destroy it with the rest. He flips it and helps Gotham
Thanks Bro
Imagine if the coin told him to let Batman die.
@@ManoloRibera070 Damn, Two Face is seriously a man of principle.
Honestly because all of Batman’s villains have a character that is complex in a way, Batman in a sense respect’s the gangs by almost never trying to ruin the balance of power within Gotham. The villains respect Batman as the one to keep that balance of power in check
Remember, people say that Batman is just as insane as the villains he fights and cause of that, he respects them
Batman stops them from abusing others and batman stops others from abusing them
For most of them he’s got a really well established rapport. He’ll still give them a concussion and break a leg/arm but there’s a level of respect cuz he still views them as people (for the most part Joker’s kinda hit or miss). My personal favorite is his relationship with Freeze immediately followed by Cobblepot/Ivy. He always tries to help Freeze with his wife or at least help keep her alive.
And in one continuity, if I remember correctly, he legit went to The Iceberg Lounge and was like, “Ight Oswald where is the dude hiding?” (I think it was Scarecrow?) and bro just immediately sold him out and when Scarecrow was like, “Penguin what the fuck?” Cobblepot just responded, “This is a ‘legitimate’ business man.” Showing that while he and everyone else knows he’s got some under the table illegal or questionable shit going on Batman hasn’t tried to have it shut down or him arrested as long as he’s not doing the same sort of shit it was before (like diamond/cash/jewelry heists or obvious arms deals)
With Ivy it’s also kinda hit or miss but more in the way of if they help one another when it’s necessary or Bats just stops Ivy when she’s doing shit then pops her back into Arkham as opposed to with Joker where he views him as legitimate fucking issue for society. But Bats tends to respect the scientist side of her and if I remember correctly seems to give her less broken parts than say Scarecrow/Dent or even Man-Bat. I also think he tends to talk to her more/in a more respectful way when they are having to fight
@@samuraijackoff5354 there is an episode in BTAS where he stops jailer from abusing the inmates. He usually treats them with some humanity.
@@fleskhjertafan93 I think you mean Warden Lyle Bolton? Who became then Lock up?
Love the Flash, even though they are enemies, he will still mourn them
He's the kindest hero. Checks in on some of them in prison even.
@@dylanlancaster2157 he only wants his villains to get the help they need and also hopes they change for the better
I remember him comforting The Trickster because the man was having a bad day.
@@dylanlancaster2157 reminds me of the clip when he’s telling the trickster “James you’re off your meds again… turn yourself in and I’ll come visit you every week. We can play darts!” It’s good to show kids heroes that don’t just beat tf outta the mentally ill
@@granta5009 lol, I wanna be a “super” hero 🦶😍😘🥰😍🦶😽😻😽😻😽🦶🦶🦶🦶😻😽😻
Anyone else gonna talk about how the joker acted like batman's wife? "You just gonna let him talk to me like that!" Hell funny
Ha ha..
That really was comedy gold! Fighting for his life, and Joker is having an emotional breakdown over Batman fighting another villain. I mean... How egocentric is Joker, to not realize Batman spends most of his nights fighting other villains? It's in the news, after all. And certainly more than once right in front of him.
Totally Joker move, of course. Wish I'd seen the episode...
@@cchastant8251 Batman is for the streets smh 😂
@@peacetea_life litterally 😂😂
@@TopFlixin the flashpoint universe created by Flash, the Joker IS Batman’s wife! (Driven insane by watching her little son Bruce die in front of her. And her husband, Bruce’s father Thomas Wayne, becomes The Batman.
honestly I love this trope, the villains of the hero coming to his aid only for the next day things to go back to business as usual
I get the feeling that it's because all of them want to be the ones to kill him. They don't want to let anybody else manage it, so they'll even go so far as to help Batman simply to avoid 'losing'.
@Deborah-hc8nf isn’t that literally one of the first things shown in the video? They had a competition on who could unmask Batman, so when the PD got involved, they were all like “aw HELL NO!!!” and just rolled with it lol.
@@Deborah-hc8nf Sometimes. Other times they're genuinely searching for redemption or have other reasons. There is a comic where Harley Quinn escapes Arkham to help Batman in finding the new Ventrilloquist (Peyton Riley) after the death of Arnold Wesker. She does this because she was actually close to Arnold Wesker, after she was sent to Arkham without the Joker. She basically tells Batman that if Arkham is a scary place for the guards and heroes, he should imagine what it is like for the inmates and that when she got there, Wesker was nice to her and tried to cheer her up. So she feels that she owes it to him to stop the imposter. She is a genuine help to Batman in this comic.
Flash isn't the only regime member with a conscience. Let's not forget that Shazam died speaking against superman.
Flash and Shazam are good people
@@YumiYuna. Don't forget Hal, it took hell of a time to redeem himself to being a Green Lantern again on the eyes of the Guardians and convince Batman's group his on their side.
@@nexusprime2487Injustice is definitely one of Hal's best stories from a character perspective
@@YumiYuna. They are but they abided a nazi regime. They're as bad as Superman because they chose to let evil happen as people who should stand against it.
"Are there any lines you WON'T cross?"
"I don't hurt kids."
*"Didn't stop you with Shazam."*
Batman and The Joker. Best friends and worst enemies.
Grods, like Yarrick and Ghazkukull.
And Lovers
Not friends
Frenemies?
Here's the thing joker likes Batman and Batman sees him as someone who needs to be stopped and without him it feels weird because he's been around ever since bruce became Batman
