Bro Joker didn't even manipulated her. Joker literally told Harley his story about his one bad day and how he met Batman, and Harley thought Joker was talking about her.
This game’s story interests me cuz of how joker genuinely wants to kill Batman at first cuz he was just in the way but once he actually meets Batman and he saves his life despite being the most vile creature Batman has ever come across, that blows jokers mind so he tests him again by shooting his henchman then threatens to shoot himself and STILL Batman saves him… joker can comprehend how someone can see him be so evil yet make him live to face justice and with the smallest bit of hope change his ways… and so joker gets obsessed and NEEDS to interact with him again, test him again, push on him to see what he’s made of cuz he needs that conflict.
Joker loves to play games, but he also loves breaking things. So it's really a matter of having mixed feelings about breaking his favorite toy. He wants to break it, but then he'll miss not being able to play with it anymore when it's gone.
9:58 “Who else would jump off a building to save your sorry ass ?” Joker: “You know, officer….I was wondering the same thing myself” I love this little detail. They did a good job of introducing the relationship between the joker and batman throughout this story, but this line is great despite how simple and short it is. Joker being the sick twisted maniac that no one understands at this time is saved by batman who’s devotes his purpose to serving justice. I think it showcases why joker has such an infatuation with batman. Really wanted to push this mans limits. This is just my thought ofc
I agree. The facial expressions alone sell it. You can see that he's already thinking of all the horrible stuff he'll do to try and break batman's moral code
At that point, Joker is questioning why did the man who turned who he is now (Because of the Red Hood reference from Killing Joke storyline as Batman made normal Joker who dressed up as Red Hood fall to the ace chemical) risked his life to safe him. Joker is also losing his purpose on his life ever since he's falling to the ace chemical and has a bleached pale skin and green hair and losing his sanity. He's doing crimes to cope out his grief and when Batman saved him, he realizes he found his new purpose: Making Batman lose his sanity by killing him or somebody, making Batman break his no killing rule.
It’s not a relationship. But it makes the Joker realize how unique the Batman is, seemingly incorruptible despite harboring all this violence and rage. The Joker’s obsession begins with the idea of breaking Batman after his open display of doing the right thing, of responsibility even in the face of the irredeemable. He believes that deep down, Batman’s ‘stubborn righteousness’ is a front, that they are equally insane as the other in reality, despite the madness only truly being one-sided.
The reason why I think Arkham Origins Joker managed to get under Batman skin so well is because he’s immune to his normal tactics on criminals. Batman at this point in his life spent two years not only stopped criminals but also making them fear him, to make them think twice before committing another crime. But the Joker is different he doesn’t fear him and when Batman tries to make him fear Joker just laughs and keeps laughing and Batman doesn’t know what else he can do.
I think it's both. Batman builds his career on scaring criminals, as best shown by his "That is what I am!" speech to Alfred. Joker just doesn't abide by those rules. In addition to being a total psychopath with zero redeeming qualities who is seemingly immune to Batman's scare tactic, he also makes a whole game out of tormenting his victims and adversaries, which is something the rookie Batman is just unused to. The beginning of their relationship as arch-enemies is just beautifully written... Batman finally meets a villain that puts him at a bit of a loss, compared to the literal crocodile man, the snake woman, a pyromaniac obsessed with fire, and some of the world's best assassins. It took a demented, ax-crazy clown to laugh at everything Batman had for him when even _Deathstroke_ was stunned by the Dark Knight.
Even Gotham Knights which take place outside Arkham verse has better Batman death scene than that SS game. And both of Gotham Knights and Arkham Origins made by Warner Bros. Montreal but they both are still respecting Batman's lore and characters well
It connected to the Arkham series but in another universe, they bringing joker into as a playable character and the joker doesn’t even look like Arkham Joker and in the original Arkham series Joker dead
I never thought someone could match Mark Hamil when it came to playing the Joker, but leave it to Troy Baker to not only match it, but to give us a Joker who is full of youth and vigor. He's adding an element to the character rather than replacing it, making it all the better.
I completely agree, imo Troy does an absolutely amazing job at playing/voicing a younger Joker and just my opinion but I personally love this version more than the older Jokers, I just love the energy and clumsiness Troy and the animators give this earlier version of the character, yes he may not be as callous and calculating but that’s part of the reason I love it, he’s just a silly (and very homicidal and apathetic) guy having his fun
Batman: *How many lives did you just take???* Joker: None….I think. That was just a little stocking stuffer. A construction site blocking my view. But this one isn’t.
@@hayleyyeager8008Jason Todd was right. Batman should’ve killed The Joker earlier. I get it’s his code not to kill but how many more lives he could’ve saved if he just murdered the clown?
@@ilikepancakes2368 But If he did, he’d probably go into a massive Killing Spree against all his Rouges Gallery, to the point where he’s the only person Locked up in Arkham Assylum Think of Injustice, but It’s Batman who snaps
Given how The Electrocutioner spent time on his fight against Batman gloating more than actually fighting, and the fact that Batman easily defeated him with just one attack, you can't blame The Joker for killing him.
Moments like this is exactly why I put Origins above any other Arkham game. Main story, villains, characters interactions are just so solid everywhere.
@ but a remaster would probably lead to modern console ports so console players who aren't stuck 2 generations behind can play origins kinda like what return to arkham did (plus more consistent framerates as consoles have less lag spikes by nature)
@The only way for both PS4 and PS5 owners to play it is through streaming with a subscription. The quality isn't always the best unless you gave great internet. The game ends up looking bad and pixelated and the combat is super hard due to input delay. It needs a remaster.
The fact Joker was able to manipulate Harley by talking about Batman without actually using his name goes to show how dangerpis he is, considering Harley is the psychiatrist with a full understanding on how a human mindvworks, but was caught completely off-guard as Jokwr was narrating his story.
@@ilikepancakes2368 no it isn't. I get asylum was great on it's time but that's it, only on it's time, it was limited. Arkham city was clearly superior by 1000 miles, and origins is on pair with city. Asylum just got old in terms of gameplay and story, the rest of Arkham games are way better.
@@ilikepancakes2368time was definitely not friendly to Arkham Asylum. It’s still a good game, but MAN, that was definitely rocksteady’s first game. A very clunky game, a lot of foundational stuff that City, Origins and Knight steamed out.
He faked it well. The only hint you really have is that Black Mask was attacked by someone else. Joker is an unknown up until Batman figures out the crime scene.
I love how batman appears in jokers mind, he's not a human far from it, to joker his mind replaces it with a monsterious bat, a thing not a man but a thing, it's kinda like how this one fic i read a long time ago had i can't remember her name but the magician girl with the no pants and just a shirt thing, yeah her, she go into jokers mind and tries to "fix" him and soon finds towering over every bit of chaos in his mind is a giant bat, uncaring, just watching that's what i like to think jokers sees batman as at a later date, he doesn't just see a human bat thing, he sees a giant bat uncaring gaze boring into the world around him
Credit where it's due, Troy Baker had the unenviable task of playing a younger version of Mark Hamill's Joker and he managed to pull it off. Now that Hamill's retired from the gig, I'm more than happy to see Troy rise up as a new standard.
The scenes are well written and directed , but i can't get over how ludicrous (and convenient for a game plot), for Batman to meet MOST of his major arch enemies foe the forst time in ONE night and they all happen to be sorta working together for a relatively new Batman.
@tobyknight8811 Not all the villains in this game are hired by Joker. Such as Penguin, Death Stroke, and Riddler (also making his story debut here apparently. Was Fire y hired as well? Been ages since I played it. Game is great, but I just have a hard time seeing it as Canon (despite the references in arlham knight). I like to think this takes place in the same universe as Gotham Knights (especially since I believe Batman is voiced by the same actor in both games); and what was referenced in Arkham knight was some parallel past account of what happened.
It’s a whole different universe so I guess this was the route they decided to take. In other incarnations, Batman doesn’t meet the rest of his rouges gallery until years into his career. I think it would’ve been better if they just kept The Joker, Bane, Black Mask, and the assassins while leaving out Penguin and Riddler.
No no no arkham origins is canon despite the fact it's not acknowledged although referenced in the later games hell origins has hinted about about asylum so this game is much bigger than anyone realizes when it comes to the Arkham timeline
@@axesus6966 What are you talking about? I've seen plenty of people complain about this game. As for the reason, they don't have a _good_ reason for hating it. Some say they hate it because Joker is the main villain again and thus the game is somehow copying Arkham City, which it isn't, the stories are completely different. Others suggest it is the gameplay that is repetitive and copying Arkham City, However, in all fairness, the gameplay hasn't changed much from Asylum to City. The *_REAL_* reason people don't like this game is because Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are not in it. It is a _dumb_ reason to not like it because Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker did a fantastic job. I know this is the reason because before the game even came out, people were bitching about this in the comment sections for the trailers. I vividly recall their complaints, and this was before the game was even released. So no, he isn't lying, you just don't know what you are talking about.
I personally like it, the boss fights are better, the NPCs are competent and have some funny dialogues, even some of Riddler's side quest is tricky just to reach it.
Hmm when you compare it to the other arkham games it doesn't feel as good as them and I believe the biggest issue was the performance issues the game had for consoles plus the disaster of the PC release
@@LucrassKelvacno one hates it lmao - it was rated exactly what it was, not amazing but not terrible either. There comes a point where if enough people say somethings underrated it’s not underrated anymore lol
This game is one of the more underrated of the Arkham series. My friends think it's the worst one but it's my absolute favorite because of how it really dives into Batman and the Joker's relationship on a foundational level, literally the basis of the series
True, I never got to play this game since imo I kinda wish it came to the Switch like how the Arkham trilogy did but in my defense? I actually kinda thought both this game and the voices of Batman and Joker in it were pretty cool :)
Troy did a wonderful job. Hes definitely inspired by Mark, but he managed to put his personal spin on the character. Roger did great as batman, far from the estoic batman of Conroy, much more angry and unhinged as one would expect of a younger batman. This game far surpassed my expectations to be honest.
I love how bane was a tactical genius like in the comics but his drug abuse led him to be basically just a easily outsmarted character in Arkham Asylum and city
absolutely love Origins Joker. I love to see a Joker that has motivations more than just Batman, a villain that is obsessed with Batman to an extent but will still be himself even if Batman isn't there
I didn’t realize until now, but they brought back the same guy who voiced Detective Bullock in the animated series to voice him again in this game. Nice touch.
20:59 That wheeze is actually such a good addition to Joker's laugh. I feel like sometimes the character is played too menacingly in his cackle, when most of the time, yes he's a goddamn monster, but in his head he's having such a good time that he's genuinely laughing. It's not just a noise to intimidate.
I love the detail that he’s manipulating Harley into thinking he’s speaking of his fate referring to him meeting her. But he’s not. He’s speaking about fate bringing Batman to him.
Yeah this Joker is cool, but can we talk about Bane for a second? This is genuinely the BEST depiction of him in any media. He’s brutal, calculating, and motivated. None of the other games or movies come close to this version…
*6:57* *Bane just figured out the true identity of who Batman really is* *Bane’s reaction when batman said you just ran out of time is finally completing the puzzle*
Regardless of what Rocksteady says, SSKTJL never happened, I like to think of it as Batman having a nightmare or another hallucination from Scarecrow's fear gas.
I learnt the Hero´s way and its not about NOT KILLING, its about dooing what must be done and what others woldnt do....and remaining who you are while you bear the consequences of your actions....either be good or bad. After all, if you are willing to take a life, you must be ready for yours to be taken
The grinch and all his henchmen lined up on the road ahead And Santa rolled his window down and his nose and cheeks turned red He pulled his hat on low and tight and put the hammer down and with a ho ho ho, he was slingin snow singin Santa Claus is coming to town! 10-4
That is smart bane The one from asylum after the TN-1 aftermath made him dumb as a potato and STILL says "Bruja" I think he just has trouble pronouncing Spanish words
i actually wonder why anyone in the DC universe would willingly work for the joker. Like there is no way he pays more than like the penguin or black mask or like any other criminal group in gotham
When Bane said he'll be back in 1 minute, he kept his word!
I counted the time it took him to come back and yeah, you're right
The way that he broke Harley in a matter of hours is terrifying.
Whats terrifying is how pathetic and thirsty harley is
She was already broken, he just ended the job.
Didn’t brake her, just manipulated her. Scary thing is it often happens in real life too.

Nah. As ok as Troy is, the guy who voices Joker in the Injustice games is the best after Mark. He should take over now Mark's retired

@@margarethmichelina5146This is a stretch. Lifting a man over your head and slamming him to the ground isn't anything like carrying him in your arms.
@@TheFirstCurse1 I know but it's almost similar to that moment
Cops : Dont move freak !
Joker : I think he's talking to you
Heath ledger joker : For them youre just a freak ....like me
origins is the best arkham game for me nobody will ever change that.
Same
Same here
Agreed
Same bro
Same
Young Joker i the best Joker. The writing and the performances were top tier in this one.
That joker rizz is insane
Troy did a wonderful job. Hes definitely inspired by Mark, but he managed to put his personal spin on the character. Roger did great as batman, far from the estoic batman of Conroy, much more angry and unhinged as one would expect of a younger batman. This game far surpassed my expectations to be honest.
It did. I always recommend it. Arkham Knight had the better combat but main the boss for this game AND Story are miles better.
I love how bane was a tactical genius like in the comics but his drug abuse led him to be basically just a easily outsmarted character in Arkham Asylum and city
08:00 this scene is truly epic. Batman sticks to his code no matter which sick evil maniac he's up against.
This game is so underrated imo.
This joker was sooo good i need more joker content like this 🥲
Arkham Origins: exists
Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill: yeah ima head out
But the VAs were still great I think they fit this version of Batman and Joker
Aw c'mon, don't be like that-
Me every time my parents takes my jokes literal 00:46
absolutely love Origins Joker. I love to see a Joker that has motivations more than just Batman, a villain that is obsessed with Batman to an extent but will still be himself even if Batman isn't there
Bane showed up 2 5:27 seconds early.
Did Harley Quinn thought Joker was talking about her😂😂😂
"Think you can just waltz into my bank" "yeah"
This version of Joker is perfect. He's style and special vibe
Nobody'll ever touch Mark, but I've been warming up a lot to Troy Baker as Joker lately.
Well ok, as long as you're not an elitist, that's fine I guess-
I didn’t realize until now, but they brought back the same guy who voiced Detective Bullock in the animated series to voice him again in this game. Nice touch.
Ending cutscene was fire
20:59 That wheeze is actually such a good addition to Joker's laugh. I feel like sometimes the character is played too menacingly in his cackle, when most of the time, yes he's a goddamn monster, but in his head he's having such a good time that he's genuinely laughing. It's not just a noise to intimidate.
This has to be one of my favorite Banes in media i know this is about joker which Troy was amazing but good lord Bane was fantastic in orgins
IMHO best Joker in Arkham games. Brings out energy and charisma which Hamill's just lacks.
Why is he so fucking cute in this specifically!?
I love the detail that he’s manipulating Harley into thinking he’s speaking of his fate referring to him meeting her. But he’s not. He’s speaking about fate bringing Batman to him.
3:27 GYAAAAAAAT
He will kill u
This has gotta be one of my favorite iterations of joker, although i dont see the killing joke as canon
22:00, the most satisfying part of this game: Giving Joker the beatdown of a lifetime.
Very similar to the one he gave in knight just saying
This game and the first scene does so much for the Arkham story and they wanna act like this game doesnt exist troy baker fucking KILLED IT
Joker sure enjoys Rossini
Never understood why people spits on Origins, it's on the same level as City.
Quick electrocutioner gravity will catch you eh I guess not
THIS NOT GETTING REMASTERED IS A CRIME!
Yeah this Joker is cool, but can we talk about Bane for a second? This is genuinely the BEST depiction of him in any media. He’s brutal, calculating, and motivated. None of the other games or movies come close to this version…
*6:57*
*Bane just figured out the true identity of who Batman really is*
*Bane’s reaction when batman said you just ran out of time is finally completing the puzzle*
6:04 MF IS GROWLING
I played Arkham Origins on the Wii U and it was amazing! It needs more attention! it's a shame they did not port Origins on the PS4 back then
3:50 joker probably the only man ever who can make eating and offering a fruitcake terrifying
Anyone else back here after Batmans tragic end.
In Arkham Knight?
@@Fancast100-wj4fusuicide squads shitty version
@@josiahgonzalez942 I did not play that game nor will I ever will consider it canon from the videos I’ve seen of it
Regardless of what Rocksteady says, SSKTJL never happened, I like to think of it as Batman having a nightmare or another hallucination from Scarecrow's fear gas.
Joker crazy
5:25 - 6:25
Bane kept his word. It was exactly one minute.
I learnt the Hero´s way and its not about NOT KILLING, its about dooing what must be done and what others woldnt do....and remaining who you are while you bear the consequences of your actions....either be good or bad. After all, if you are willing to take a life, you must be ready for yours to be taken
Man this game was sicky wish they followed up on this with the same cast .
i honestly like this game's story better then the other arkham games
Man Arkham origins had really good story
to make them think twice before committing another crime.
The grinch and all his henchmen
lined up on the road ahead
And Santa rolled his window down
and his nose and cheeks turned red
He pulled his hat on low and tight
and put the hammer down
and with a ho ho ho, he was slingin snow
singin Santa Claus is coming to town! 10-4
Origins Joker>Asylum, City, Knight Joker
I agree lol
Really don't know why this game got so much hate. I thought it was amazing. Loved everything about it.
Is it me, or did Joker genuinely look a little worried for a split second when Bane stood up at 4:27 ?
I'll never understand why the cops shoot at Batman. Like guys, he's the one trying to SAVE lives!
Bane can’t even pronounce Spanish vocabulary properly
That is smart bane
The one from asylum after the TN-1 aftermath made him dumb as a potato and STILL says "Bruja"
I think he just has trouble pronouncing Spanish words
The most charasmatic version of the Joker in games in my opinion.
Was the first scene with the ambulance an homage to nolan joker with the schoolbus in the bank?🤨
This was in a bank too🤔
3:13 and 8:25 are my favourite lines from joker
3:36 he didn’t even TRY to catch him
This very nice
Reported for misleading title.
i actually wonder why anyone in the DC universe would willingly work for the joker. Like there is no way he pays more than like the penguin or black mask or like any other criminal group in gotham
