@@thebobbrom7176 sure but again, you want to apply cartoon world to real world? Gassing people (scare crow) and beating and killing people (Harley Quinn) and only being sentenced to an asylum isn’t realistic. You are taking logic A and trying to apply it to logic B. I would say that the message is “be professional in your work.” There is no dignity in torturing innocent people.
When Harley, who has been horribly mistreated by Joker without any complaint, freaks out about someone being abusive towards her, you know something is very wrong.
Honestly this show was amazing solely for the reason that it portrayed the criminals as just extremely broken people who did horrible things. They aren’t evil, or at least most aren’t trying to be, they just don’t know how to fit in and they lash out
That part is kind of bullshit. These characters are irredeemable. In real life, they'd have been executed long before they filled up whole graveyards with their victims.
@JoeMama-dy6op nobody is irredeemable, especially when at least half the people in Batman's rogues galleries have some kind of mental illness or in Mr. Freeze's case, are sympathetic.
True, but I like that it was Harley Quinn who picked up in it and realized that they had to speak up. It fits in with her later characterization in the comics and other media.
It reminds me so much that Batman is Batman,Bruce is just his cover-up. His secret identity. It has been proven many times that Batman is his true identity. Especially when he met Wonder woman in the comics for the first time.

Love Harley's animations here. The way she gets scared and then gets mad at the other doctor to get herself dismissed from being interviewed. Then the way she bonks scarface's head to interrupt his lying.
It's awesome how they finally speak up for themselves. Harley quinn is right if you don't speak up for yourselves you might never, and that came from the girl who stands by THE JOKER no matter what he does to her.
Either that or he’s bad at reading people. Which I think is interesting to think about, because most Batmen would be awful at reading people. I’m too tired to argue for it right now, but I think the case can be made that most versions of Batman would have troubles with understanding people’s feelings.
@@metalmario1231 I mostly meant the versions that aren’t that. But the fact that he is the world’s greatest detective also might not make sense, because of the possible fact that he shouldn’t be so good at reading people. It could be a good conflict for his stories: learning to understand people.
@@The_Sleepiest_Socialist Unfortunately Batman is the Chuck Norris of DC, and Batman fanatics have taken the Chuck Norris jokes literally. He's the greatest detective, he's never wrong, solo's Superman with no prep time, solos God with 1-hour of prep time, and has back up plans for his back up plans. Batman understands human feelings better than anyone, so much so that if he tells you that you're sad you just become sad because he's clearly right. He has no weaknesses or flaws. (And frankly, that's why I can't stand the Batman fandom community. At least people know the Chuck Norris jokes are jokes, Batman fans really drink the Kool-Aid.)
I mean, most these guys could give the predator a run for his money and actively tortured people....who were innocent. And to top all of it off, thry keep escaping to continue their evil. Tbh if this kept them in line or too scared from escaping, it can't be considered abuse but wisdom and justice instead.

@@alexquinn9627 Sure, but that’s why they’re in Arkham. Abusing them does nothing to help their victims. If anything, it just gives them more incentive to escape.

@@gourley_85it's not always about fight, i may not know the context but authority and abuse mixes well, and trauma runs deep. They're meant to be rehabilitated there, not tortured.
Not only normal supervillains but THE self-proclaimed master of fear, Sacrecrow, man must’ve been through hell and back multiple times if he, of all people, was scared
@@gourley_85 Fighting back would likely just result in harsher treatment- she said he punished them even when they were good, which suggests that if they were bad... it became much, much worse. And since they're the patients and have no real control, he would have facility back up (complete with their restraints and sedatives) and they wouldn't.
I like that Scarface technically isn't a real person, it's not a possessed puppet or anything, but Mr. Bolton still threatens to torture him because it's a different personality from the ventriloquist acting AS the puppet. Now that's evil.
He clearly enjoys feeling powerfull. He put Crane in a lose-lose situation. If he speaks up, he will come across as the only one lying and Lock up will have an excuse to mistreat him even more. If he stays silent, then Lock up gets the satisfaction and feeling of power because he got scarecrow, the king of fear, to stay silent and afraid.
@@misterdoonoIt’s the main reason that I do want better for Arnold; he’s literally one of the patients who can get better. Scarface is a puppet but, to Wesker, he’s the voice in his head that forces him to go through with things. The man genuinely needs help. One comic that does show it is the one where Harley meets the second ventriloquist who pretends Scarface is her boyfriend. Harley hates her guts because, on her first night in Arkham, Wesker managed to break free from Scarface long enough to try and cheer her up. And ventriloquist 2 was hot and bothered over the puppet that was the conduit of something that made Wesker and his victims’ lives hell? I don’t blame her.
That guy is a fucking chad, he gives anyone a reason not to go back to arkham, seems like he is doing his job to me Now that's rehabilitation if I ever saw it
Bolton wasn’t interested in genuine rehabilitation. He was a sadist who used his position of power to terrorize his victims. The fact they were evil criminals was only a justifying mechanism in his mind.

I dont think you understand the day to day goings on in a regular mental hospital for the criminally insane. This is Arkham. Its a whole other machine.
But why was the dude in the ROOM with them in the first place. If you're looking into potentially abusive behavior. the FIRST thing is making sure the abuser can't hear them when they say it
I miss this side of Bruce Wayne, he got each one of these inmates into Arkham only to play an active role in making sure they truly get a chance to be rehabilitated. And when he sees this abusive Warden, he immediately sees the signs and knows just what to say to give his former rivals the courage to speak up against him. Even the fact that he is already in the room to do that shows how much compassion he has, even to the people who have actively tried to hurt him in the past.
I dont like the changes to be honest, i remember bruce timm’s adult version of batman animated series That time harley farts inside batmobile while batman smells her farts and wouldnt mind That is out of character
@@RedGuywithaSecondAccount She does stand by The Joker on pretty much all of his crimes, plus some other without him: she tries to kill Batman + others plenty of times. She just fails at it, like pretty much all of the villains in this version.🤷♂️
Prison no its a mental asylum their mental health places that keep dangerous patients locked up while recieving therapy fact is they were prone to abuse back when they were common
They're all just cowards. It's easy to not be afraid when you have weapons and goons to help you. But when you're alone, chained and without anything but your hands and you're afraid, that just goes to show how much of a pussy you are
As much as I would like to agree with that, many of the people in Arkham are murderers. Arkham never cured anyone. Maybe he deserves a raise for giving real consequences to their actions.
I saw what you did there. 😉 I guess it was a good thing *this* Bolton didn't flay any of them. 😅🔥 I'm sure even Gotham would frown upon that, especially Batman.
I don't think any rapists, pedophile, child molesters or any child abuser would meet this warden. He would be the bane towards any of those criminals that are mentioned. Btw think if Maury Povich or Sally Jesse Raphael turned the controlling men that abused their wives or girlfriends to this guy, they would probably be begging for the women they've mistreated to help them about 500times or more.
@@speedstriker1899he is helping them, Bruce sees that they are afraid to speak out against Bolton, which is why he suggested extending Bolton's contact to help push the inmates to speak up.
I think that was shown at the beginning of the episode when Batman was taking Scarecrow back to Arkham and Bolton was waiting for him causing Scarecrow to beg Batman not to leave him with Bolton causing him to cling to Batman.
Probably because Bolton is meaninglessly cruel and violent and attacks them even when they're trying to be better. Batman only fights them if they come at him, and is constantly very clear with encouraging their recovery
I like the implication that he only tortures Scarface, but leaves the ventriloquist relatively untouched. Even in the alternate Earth with the Justice Lords, they distinguish the criminal from his assistant.
I really like the way the animators portrayed the villains’ fear. The way they shook as their abuser yelled at them was particularly well done.

I adore her. Even if she knew the puppet isn't real she still treats the puppet equally to be considerate to the puppeteer.
@@bloodcottoncandy1514technically he is real sometimes
You payed too much attention on harley…hinting something….I won’t say
@@adknight1987 what, "misandry"? lol
It's awesome how they finally speak up for themselves. Harley quinn is right if you don't speak up for yourselves you might never, and that came from the girl who stands by THE JOKER no matter what he does to her.
It's serious if even SCARECROW of all people are scared...
Amazing how Bruce knows his worst enemies better than themselves. Knew something was wrong and knew how to push them to break.
Either that or he’s bad at reading people. Which I think is interesting to think about, because most Batmen would be awful at reading people. I’m too tired to argue for it right now, but I think the case can be made that most versions of Batman would have troubles with understanding people’s feelings.
Cant argue dont reply....its batman the worlds greatest detective...bad at reading people? BS I call
@@metalmario1231 I mostly meant the versions that aren’t that. But the fact that he is the world’s greatest detective also might not make sense, because of the possible fact that he shouldn’t be so good at reading people. It could be a good conflict for his stories: learning to understand people.
Puppetmaster is a honest man, so if the puppet needs to interrupt him then something is off
@@The_Sleepiest_Socialist Unfortunately Batman is the Chuck Norris of DC, and Batman fanatics have taken the Chuck Norris jokes literally. He's the greatest detective, he's never wrong, solo's Superman with no prep time, solos God with 1-hour of prep time, and has back up plans for his back up plans. Batman understands human feelings better than anyone, so much so that if he tells you that you're sad you just become sad because he's clearly right. He has no weaknesses or flaws. (And frankly, that's why I can't stand the Batman fandom community. At least people know the Chuck Norris jokes are jokes, Batman fans really drink the Kool-Aid.)
the sad part is that there are real people being treated like these cartoon patients but no one heeds their please for help because their locked up.
Usually because people read details of their crimes.

When you realize scar face was scared that’s when you know someone is evil
Therapist: Evil Bruce Wayne can't hurt you
Arkham Asylum:
😂😂😂
Everyone looks the exact same, so I can’t even tell whether that’s what you mean or if you meant that Bruce behaved badly.
@@The_Sleepiest_Socialist Mr. Bolton, the security guard that everyone is complaining about looks like Bruce Wayne
@@soraxstacy1477 everyone with any physical similarities to Bruce look like him in BTAS. Still, it’s weird.
Honestly I wonder if that’s the point. He’s the essentially Batman but going too far
For some reason I always like it when Harley uses her knowledge from working at Arkham into situations like this.
Bro Arkham Asylum Warden is something else.... Bro really give no mercy to them ☠️
I feel like him and the punisher would be great friends
Wow even covers prison abuse (or is it mental ward abuse)
I mean, most these guys could give the predator a run for his money and actively tortured people....who were innocent.
And to top all of it off, thry keep escaping to continue their evil.
Tbh if this kept them in line or too scared from escaping, it can't be considered abuse but wisdom and justice instead.
@@bobbob-zc1nxCriminals have rights too. Abuse is abuse, no matter who the victims are.
@@bobbob-zc1nxWelcome them there but are they doing anything for their mental problems we know Gotham is corrupt and sadly so far In the animated universe continuity. The only one who seems to have gotten genuine psychiatric treatment is Harley
@icecreamdf5259 and what about the rights of all the people these villains routinely hurt because gotham can't fix them or hold them? Surely they deserve some consideration.
@@alexquinn9627 Sure, but that’s why they’re in Arkham. Abusing them does nothing to help their victims. If anything, it just gives them more incentive to escape.
Scaring super villains is something in another level
He should try scaring Arkham Croc. Let’s see how well that turns out for him lol
@@Albino_Basiliski think that's why he's abuseing the villain that are a little weaker in the fighting apartment. But a really don't knlw why harley didn't fight back because she probably the best fighter there but a don't know if scarecrow can fight.
@@gourley_85it's not always about fight, i may not know the context but authority and abuse mixes well, and trauma runs deep. They're meant to be rehabilitated there, not tortured.
Not only normal supervillains but THE self-proclaimed master of fear, Sacrecrow, man must’ve been through hell and back multiple times if he, of all people, was scared
@@gourley_85 Fighting back would likely just result in harsher treatment- she said he punished them even when they were good, which suggests that if they were bad... it became much, much worse. And since they're the patients and have no real control, he would have facility back up (complete with their restraints and sedatives) and they wouldn't.
Technically warden was the real hero to make those criminal fear him
I like that Scarface technically isn't a real person, it's not a possessed puppet or anything, but Mr. Bolton still threatens to torture him because it's a different personality from the ventriloquist acting AS the puppet. Now that's evil.
"You must have some misgivings about my methods"
Bro was daring them to step outta line. 💀
😂😂
He clearly enjoys feeling powerfull. He put Crane in a lose-lose situation.
If he speaks up, he will come across as the only one lying and Lock up will have an excuse to mistreat him even more. If he stays silent, then Lock up gets the satisfaction and feeling of power because he got scarecrow, the king of fear, to stay silent and afraid.
You know it is bad if scarface is freaking out lol
Scarface is the Goosebumps looking one,yes?
It was the termites.
@@bigbywolf5197 yeah
Never thought I'll see Scarface afraid to the point where he calls the guard a Hard Worker
666th likes
The termites part proves this guy isn’t just physically abusing them but is doing some psychological torture as well.
You know you're pure evil when even the Scarecrow is afraid of you
Not pure evil. Lyle Bolton is a very scary guy. He just has a much more harsher method in dealing with criminals than Batman.
You know it's bad if Crane is scared. But if Scarface is scared, you run for the hills
Also you know hes bad if the ventriloquist wants to speak up
@@misterdoonoIt’s the main reason that I do want better for Arnold; he’s literally one of the patients who can get better.
Scarface is a puppet but, to Wesker, he’s the voice in his head that forces him to go through with things. The man genuinely needs help.
One comic that does show it is the one where Harley meets the second ventriloquist who pretends Scarface is her boyfriend. Harley hates her guts because, on her first night in Arkham, Wesker managed to break free from Scarface long enough to try and cheer her up. And ventriloquist 2 was hot and bothered over the puppet that was the conduit of something that made Wesker and his victims’ lives hell? I don’t blame her.
I love how Harley just baps Scarface to shut him up. Shouldn't have made me laugh as much as it did.
Yes
That guy is a fucking chad, he gives anyone a reason not to go back to arkham, seems like he is doing his job to me
Now that's rehabilitation if I ever saw it
Lyle Bolton is the the hero Gotham needs.
Damn pretty cool that they had the balls to antagonize the people running the institutions meant to rehabilitate them.
If being chained down, electrified door, locked in a dark room, hung over a candle, beaten is your way of rehab then u need real rehab. Lol
Bolton wasn’t interested in genuine rehabilitation. He was a sadist who used his position of power to terrorize his victims. The fact they were evil criminals was only a justifying mechanism in his mind.

I dont think you understand the day to day goings on in a regular mental hospital for the criminally insane.
This is Arkham. Its a whole other machine.
U good buddy, do you need the type of rehab they were going through
"i may be a criminally insane murderer, but God, something is wrong with that man."
One of the few times where the villains got a reward for their honesty.
Given on what kind of place Arkham is. He made a difference.
Love how batman could tell they were scared to do something and made them realize itd be worse if they kept quiet lmao
But why was the dude in the ROOM with them in the first place.
If you're looking into potentially abusive behavior. the FIRST thing is making sure the abuser can't hear them when they say it
I miss this side of Bruce Wayne, he got each one of these inmates into Arkham only to play an active role in making sure they truly get a chance to be rehabilitated. And when he sees this abusive Warden, he immediately sees the signs and knows just what to say to give his former rivals the courage to speak up against him. Even the fact that he is already in the room to do that shows how much compassion he has, even to the people who have actively tried to hurt him in the past.
I dont like the changes to be honest, i remember bruce timm’s adult version of batman animated series
That time harley farts inside batmobile while batman smells her farts and wouldnt mind
That is out of character

Harley and ventriloquist don't.
@@RedGuywithaSecondAccount Oh, they do. Not to mention all of their other crimes.
@@MiloMondo not in this series, which is where Harley originates from
@@RedGuywithaSecondAccount She does stand by The Joker on pretty much all of his crimes, plus some other without him: she tries to kill Batman + others plenty of times. She just fails at it, like pretty much all of the villains in this version.🤷♂️
@@MiloMondo well yeah I guess you're right
18 months.... He must have been terrifyingly brutal to get all of them to BEG for him not to be in charge or something
When you see murderous villains scared of a prison guard you know it's bad.
Prison no its a mental asylum their mental health places that keep dangerous patients locked up while recieving therapy fact is they were prone to abuse back when they were common
They're all just cowards. It's easy to not be afraid when you have weapons and goons to help you. But when you're alone, chained and without anything but your hands and you're afraid, that just goes to show how much of a pussy you are
God I miss Arleen. R.I.P you absolute legend ❤️❤️❤️
This is why Batman is the villain of Gotham
No one deserves that scumbag's methods.
Except Joker.
As much as I would like to agree with that, many of the people in Arkham are murderers. Arkham never cured anyone. Maybe he deserves a raise for giving real consequences to their actions.
I would really want to see that. And what Joker will do after.
Maybe Black Mask and Riddler depending, depending on which riddler
Joker would enjoy it
If this guy was Batman, Joker wouldn’t be laughing anymore.
No matter the franchise, you do not want to be under the captivity of a Bolton
I saw what you did there. 😉 I guess it was a good thing *this* Bolton didn't flay any of them. 😅🔥 I'm sure even Gotham would frown upon that, especially Batman.
I know the name from something else but can't remember where.
@@astarteswillum5259 game of thrones
@@Leader7353 Oh Yeah! Ramsay Bolton. The nutjob bastard.
What about Troy Bolton?
For once, I wish there were wardens like Bolton here. Make criminals FEAR what they do, and the punishments that come with.
I don't think any rapists, pedophile, child molesters or any child abuser would meet this warden. He would be the bane towards any of those criminals that are mentioned. Btw think if Maury Povich or Sally Jesse Raphael turned the controlling men that abused their wives or girlfriends to this guy, they would probably be begging for the women they've mistreated to help them about 500times or more.
It always hits me how they're scared of Batman in the usual sense but they are TERRIFIED of this dude. God i love this show
Harley rlly just clocked tf out of a puppet 😂😂😂
damn even Bruce is helping them out of that abuse.
Bruce is not helping watch the full clip
@@speedstriker1899he is helping them, Bruce sees that they are afraid to speak out against Bolton, which is why he suggested extending Bolton's contact to help push the inmates to speak up.
To be fair, helping them is exactly his goal _all_ the time. It's not out of character
@@asexualbert7262Bruce is an amazing guy and always tries to help his villains
Of course Harley would be the one to support the cry for help.
You know you’re scary when the dude who’s gimmick is fear is scared of you
They are more scared of him than they are BatMan.
I think that was shown at the beginning of the episode when Batman was taking Scarecrow back to Arkham and Bolton was waiting for him causing Scarecrow to beg Batman not to leave him with Bolton causing him to cling to Batman.
Definitely not Arkham series Batman.
Because Batman has a moral code, and that man clearly didn't lol
Probably because Bolton is meaninglessly cruel and violent and attacks them even when they're trying to be better. Batman only fights them if they come at him, and is constantly very clear with encouraging their recovery
I really love how BTAS Batman really dedicated himself to Gotham
After what Joe Chill did to his parents, he was DEDICATED to dealing out the justice.
You know its really bad when scarface is scared 😂
THAT POLICE OFFICER SOUNDS LIKE CROCODILE
Bruce afterwards: only i get to beat them into submission
I like how Harley knows how to say nothing in 4 languages
Well, that escalated quickly
You know something is wrong when freaking SCARECROW is terrified
The Warden is a true underated villain I'd love to see his character in live action
Not a Warden . Head of Security.
I like the implication that he only tortures Scarface, but leaves the ventriloquist relatively untouched. Even in the alternate Earth with the Justice Lords, they distinguish the criminal from his assistant.
They know how attached Wesker is to Scarface, so they torture him that way :/ poor guy just needs some help
Mr Bolton did a pretty good job. maybe they would rather be rehabilitated than return back to Lyle Bolton's *care* lol
I like that they gave Scarface his own Asylum uniform 😂😂 kinda cute
