I love how much Dan always sounds like he just left an underground vault he spent the past 30 years in. "Batgirl is Gordon's daughter." "Is that right? Wow."
RIP Kevin Conroy, he was vengeance, he was the night, he was Batman. This was the first game I ever played, and I have such fond memories of my dad and I sitting on the couch playing this game, and watching the show. Love that you are playing this!
I thought the same thing. I loved this game as a kid, and still love it. Read the title and angrily anticipated the worst, but then it never came lol. Seems like they just needed a click bait title.
Our sweet Danny boy starting this video off with “So Bruce Wayne was walking with his parents…” Goodness. Also still miss Kevin Conroy. Will always be my Batman.
It is amazing that, per a comment section full of comments such as yours, GameGrumps has managed to sustain themselves entirely on a fanbase of whiners who simultaneously crave these guys to talk at them nonstop with no dead air and still get angry when they pay more attention to talking at their viewers than to a mediocre video game
@@deimoskaischylos My best friend still takes credit for a prank call we made to Wal-Mart twenty years ago. He tells it like he did the character and everything. It was ME, Chris! Goddamn you it was ME making the call! You were just standing there laughing. He did some good prank calls other times though.
To be honest, there is actually not a bad reason for this now that I think about it. Much of Game Grumps is these two guys just shooting the shit, which just leads to them paying more attention to each other than the game. Comes with its pros and cons
Kinda miss this era of games when they were trying to emulate art style of a show they were making into a game, this game looks rather good, I think. With modern technologies it could look absolutely stellar. The game itself didn't age as gracefuly as it's presentation, it seems.
I love how it says “ps2 games”. When the game said “the R button” I immediately thought….wait doesn’t ps2 have two R buttons? Flash forward to Alfred’s training where they clearly show a GameCube controller in the top right 😂
I feel like Arin has gotten to the point of paying no attention whatsoever to the games he's playing recently. Like at the end of the video when he was surprised that The Joker had Mary's son when there was literally just a conversation about The Joker having Mary's son
Dan asking 'Do you think Batman gets chafey?' reminds me of in Into the Spiderverse when Miles asks Peter for Spider-Man advice and one of words of wisdom is "You're gonna wanna use baby powder in the suit, heaver on the joints. You don't want any chafing, right?"
Probably one of the best parts of the Harley Quinn show is when Batgirl always calls Commissioner Gordon "dad" frequently by accident. He never catches on and just thinks she has a complex.
I liked this game when it came out. It was about as authentic as superhero games got at the time, and it felt cool to seemingly be playing an interactive episode of the animated series.
OMG Dan knowing about Grendel and the whole black, white, and red issues made me so happy! I felt like I had practically imagined that series and its multiple iterations, so Dan bringing it up out of the blue kinda surprised me. *Owen Wilson voice* Wow! Aw man!
"Type-casting" Happened to Mark Hamill. Star Wars put a stigma on his face, when it came to finding work, because (back in the day, especially) no one wanted to compete with Star Wars. They probably never even got passed the calling stage because just the name "Mark Hamill," conjured the same image in everyone's head. "Luke Skywalker" So he went off screen, went behind the mic, and found pretty good success in voice acting. Not a stretch to consider him going for this part, as well
With that floating on a board thing, I assume Arin was thinking of Static Shock. I miss that show, Static was a real great hero, local level, relatable. Most of his villains were also fairly relatable, it wasn't all 'I will rule/destroy the world!' Also there was an episode where Commissioner Gordon pretty much said without actually saying that he knew Barbara was Batgirl, and somewhat implied he knew Bruce was Bats. It was an episode where Barbara was hallucinating her worst fears thanks to Scarecrow. Her fear being that Gordon learns she's Batgirl as she's dying in the role, and Gordon essentially raids Wayne Manor with the entire Gotham PD, gets into the Batcave, and so forth. Man I miss the older DC shows.
I don’t know why but it sounds like something Adam West’s Batman might end up saying either to Robin or himself. Weird thought but yeah hearing that was just GOLD
Him saying that and then aimlessly flying around is so funny. Like a visual depiction of what Dan is saying, that the franchise has run it's course. If that makes sense
Batgirl's identity depends on the version. In Batman and Robin, she was Alfred's niece (also Alfred died). I don't remember much about Batman the animated series (despite loving it, I was pretty young), but I do know in Harley Quinn Animated, Batgirl is the daughter of Gordon.
This game and the Batman Begins game are the proto-Arkham games. Batman Begins even kinda had a super primitive iteration of the Fear mechanic they did in Arkham Knight.
Fun fact: Paul Dini and the rest of the btas gang wanted to make an animated Batman movie and during the writing process they realized the movie was gonna be pretty long, after a while that movie turned into the first Arkham video game
While Tara Strong is an excellent Harley Quinn, the role in TAS originated with Arleen Sorkin (who also voices Harley in this game). Strong was the voice of Batgirl in the animated series (and in Vengeance). She picked up the role of Harley in other projects (like the Arkham games and Injustice).
HEheh, hence the chapter title "A Girl to Die For" and just to really hammer it home, the gravestone having Harleen's little jester doobers coming off its shadow.
29:27 I love bits like these lol. The first thing that came to my head was a convo like this: Arin: “So how much time do you have left, about another year?” Danny: “Oh, it’s already shipped.” A: “Oh great, you already shipped it to the testers?” D: “No… it’s on store shelves.” A: “I don’t understand. Did you ship it to the testers or store it on the shelf? Which is it?” D: “…”
BatDan: I need to defuse this bomb so everyone quiet RobArin: do you think dogs know that they’re dogs? BatDan: Robin please- BarbAllie: no he’s got a point
Arin always mistaking Arleen Sorkin's Harley Quinn voice with Tara Strong's never fails to make me sad. Recognition for Arleen Sorkin, the superior Harley Quinn
Arin: How does Batman strike fear into anyone? I can guarantee, if an absolute MONOLITH of a man stalked the night and beat people until their brains leak out their ears, the last thing I'm going to do is insult his outfit
@@creatorsubscriptions7821 ya it dont look bad just needs a bit more detail so things stand out abit more so it doesn't all look the same and you can know where to go Did a real good job looking like the series tho
@@creatorsubscriptions7821 Yeah, it looks like the people involved actually cared at least. The cinematics are neat, voice actors are trying, animations have style to them. It’s a weird contrast with the lack of content in the rest of the game.
He might also be mixing Static with Kit Cloudkicker from Disney’s “TaleSpin”, the disc he glided on was more crescent/croissant-like while Static’s was more of a straight-up circle.
This wouldn’t be Tara strong doing Harley Quinn. If it’s the animated series cast doing the voices it would be arleen sorkin. She also did her voice in Arkham asylum as well. Tara strong took over for her when she left and does a great job though.
Same here! I remember getting stuck so early in the game as a kid, but when I eventually beat it, I thought it was a great time. Seeing them fumble about was a bit nostalgic
That moment when Erin is perfectly describing Kit from Tale Spin and his weird little flying saucer thing from that show. Why was it so obvious for me? lol
Tara Strong has taken over the role of Harley Quinn but in this game and in the animated series the voice actor (and partial inspiration) was Arleen Sorkin. Tara Strong wouldn’t take over until later projects like the Arkham games or The Batman
"Static Shock" is the cartoon Arin is after with the "croissant board that flies". It was originally a trash can lid and his buddy made him a hover disc.
This game was my childhood. I absolutely loved playing it with my bother and it was always a very loved game for us. Didn't expect to see it here but good nonetheless.
I'm at home wondering "what the fuck does that actually mean? Is it a reference to 'sausage party?' " later he says the word doofus, which I guess, explains his thought, but still doesn't clearly define it.
As soon as I saw the opening cutscene of this game it shot me into a wave of nostalgia, I use to play this game all the time as a kid, it’s so familiar and yet I can’t remember any details. How surreal, thank you grumps :,)
Tail Spin has the croissant shaped air surf board that Cubby would throw out and it would unfold to something he could glide on top of. It was a pretty cool little gadget. Also Electric Shock used a piece of metal to fly around on in the 90/00s cartoons era.
7:55 "Some cartoon where some character has, like, like, a board that, like, folds out? It's like a croissant? And then they fly around on it." You're thinking of Kit Cloudkicker from Disney's TaleSpin, Arin.
The whole voice cast from the animated series being in this is amazing. Also Joker did look like that. He got a re-design for The New Adventures of Batman. ANd that's not Tara Strong doing Harley Quinn, it's her original VA Arleen Sorkin.
This was the very first game I played on the ps2. It was complicated back then, but I had so much fun enjoying the memories of having the game as my first Playstation game ever. I also remember when I was a kid, I do my best to finish my homework and everything just to catch the animated Batman show 6:00 almost every night. And honestly, Kevin Conroy is, in my opinion, the best voice for Batman I have heard in any animated creation. Rest in peace, Kevin. Thank you for the fond memories, truly legendary.
You guys NEED to play the Arkham games for game grumps. And I mean all four games. Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, and Arkham Knight (100% this one)
You guys. PLEASE. I BEG YOU. Do at least one more episode of this game. This was a favorite of mine as a kid. And your commentary was hilarious as per norm. I would love to see more.
The character with the "little board that folds out like a croissant" Arin is thinking of may be Static Shock, or less likely...Kit Cloudkicker from Tailspin.
Batman definitely does have a similar shield that he snowboards on in at least some version of the animated series. I’m pretty sure he uses it in the scooby doo crossover.
I think the cartoon that Arin is thinking of is Static Shock. The one where he has a metal disc that unfolds, he jumps on it, and uses it to fly around. There were a few episodes of that with this Batman in it, so that's probably what he was thinking of.
Hey Arin the croissant flying thing is from the cartoon Tail Spin. That lil bear that flys around with Baloo unfolds the croissant thing, holds a rope out the back of the plane and sky surfs 🤣.
God, the era of games like this was a fun one, and missed terribly. Thanks for playing this one, guys! On a side note... did Arin seem even MORE clueless than usual this time around, like asking "What am supposed to do?" 3 seconds AFTER hearing the explanation/seeing the scene play out, in game? Like legitimate toe-curling, teeth-clenching, "It JUST SHOWED/TOLD you what to do?! HOW did you miss that, Arin?! JEEZ! Quit trying to kiss Danny, and play the (*@^^&#$^%*@ game!" LOL
Interesting how Arin refers to Harley and her VA being Tara Strong, but this was actually Arleen Sorkin who inspired the character and has voiced her occasionally. Batgirl is Tara Strong in this, so she still deserves the recognition for being in this game, and in general as she has had so many great roles
7:57 It's tail spin you're thinking of Arin. The little croissant air board that folds out. Though Batman's cape does turn into a solid glider sort of thing in some series.

Cubby? I think you are thinking of Gummi Bears. The kid from Tailspin is Kit Cloudkicker.
static shock, but yeah
I remember watching static shock on cw4 growing up, that show was amazing
7:57 I'm 80% sure you're talkin about Static Shock. He used tin foil when thrown out, would turn into a hover board. It was the shape of le croissant!
Just finished my last therapy session, going to celebrate with some Game Grumps. 🧡
So you vanquished the therapist and stole their treasure?
Pretty sweet, congrats.
Congrats!!!
WHOOOOO!!!!🧡💙🧡💙
CONGRATS
Thanks :)
good for you but bruh u might need another session to deal w that oversharing lmao
Arin was thinking of Static Shock when he described the folding flying board
1:29 to SKIP the AD
7:55 "Some cartoon where some character has, like, like, a board that, like, folds out? It's like a croissant? And then they fly around on it."
You're thinking of Kit Cloudkicker from Disney's TaleSpin, Arin.
RIP Rik Mayall. He'll forever be one of the young ones.
The whole voice cast from the animated series being in this is amazing.
Also Joker did look like that. He got a re-design for The New Adventures of Batman. ANd that's not Tara Strong doing Harley Quinn, it's her original VA Arleen Sorkin.
Can we make this a series lol - the batman jokes were gold 😆
Arin being upset about the “and” not having a comma makes me wonder if he ever watched School House Rock as a kid.
School House Rock was the shit
This was the very first game I played on the ps2. It was complicated back then, but I had so much fun enjoying the memories of having the game as my first Playstation game ever. I also remember when I was a kid, I do my best to finish my homework and everything just to catch the animated Batman show 6:00 almost every night. And honestly, Kevin Conroy is, in my opinion, the best voice for Batman I have heard in any animated creation. Rest in peace, Kevin. Thank you for the fond memories, truly legendary.
"swear off bad PS2 games forever" game input uses Nintendo Gamecube inputs and tutorials.
when the fought Mr. Freeze in the beginning of the first movie they have expandable air surf boards when they are flying through the air.
R.I.P Kevin Conroy my, and many others first Batman 🖤
You guys NEED to play the Arkham games for game grumps. And I mean all four games. Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, and Arkham Knight (100% this one)
You guys. PLEASE. I BEG YOU. Do at least one more episode of this game. This was a favorite of mine as a kid. And your commentary was hilarious as per norm. I would love to see more.
The character with the "little board that folds out like a croissant" Arin is thinking of may be Static Shock, or less likely...Kit Cloudkicker from Tailspin.
40:36 Arin calling Batman a "Wiener" is cracking me up and I don't know why! XD
my god, I thank you Danny every time you mention The Young Ones
that show is the absolute best and if you haven't watched it, you NEED it in your life
despite the title i hope they continue this one RIP Kevin - we miss the hell out of you
I just fucking love how Arin mixed up Batman and Kit Cloudkicker from Tailspin.
Never change, Arin.
Batman definitely does have a similar shield that he snowboards on in at least some version of the animated series. I’m pretty sure he uses it in the scooby doo crossover.
19:25 I love how Aarons voice goes over Kevin's so it looks like batman's saying "look harder"
Video: swears off PS2
Game: Is a GameCube game
Me: Am confused.
@IsmGameGrumps I'm assuming there was a link that got deleted? You're not one of those scammers that pretends to be the real channel, are you?
I think the cartoon that Arin is thinking of is Static Shock. The one where he has a metal disc that unfolds, he jumps on it, and uses it to fly around. There were a few episodes of that with this Batman in it, so that's probably what he was thinking of.
Seeing Arin's eye bags make me worry and hope he's getting enough sleep and isn't too stressed out. :( He looks so tired.
Hey Arin the croissant flying thing is from the cartoon Tail Spin. That lil bear that flys around with Baloo unfolds the croissant thing, holds a rope out the back of the plane and sky surfs 🤣.
I think Arin somehow conflated Kit Cloudkicker's airfoil from TaleSpin with some of Batman's Batarangs.
God, the era of games like this was a fun one, and missed terribly. Thanks for playing this one, guys!
On a side note... did Arin seem even MORE clueless than usual this time around, like asking "What am supposed to do?" 3 seconds AFTER hearing the explanation/seeing the scene play out, in game? Like legitimate toe-curling, teeth-clenching, "It JUST SHOWED/TOLD you what to do?! HOW did you miss that, Arin?! JEEZ! Quit trying to kiss Danny, and play the (*@^^&#$^%*@ game!" LOL
Man, I'd love these two to do a one-off of Mirror's edge.
Interesting how Arin refers to Harley and her VA being Tara Strong, but this was actually Arleen Sorkin who inspired the character and has voiced her occasionally. Batgirl is Tara Strong in this, so she still deserves the recognition for being in this game, and in general as she has had so many great roles
this is giving me weird nostalgia cause I remember playing the gamecube version as a kid but also hating it with every fiber of my being
7:57 It's tail spin you're thinking of Arin. The little croissant air board that folds out. Though Batman's cape does turn into a solid glider sort of thing in some series.
The thing Arin is thinking of at 8:02 is from Static Shock.
or Kit Cloudkicker's glider
"This made us swear off bad PS2 games!" as they're playing a GameCube game.
