To everyone giving me shit for the terrible gameplay in this section, man this was my first time playing through this part, I was kind of confused and also, honestly, I was paying more attention to Joker and the song itself, than Robin.
It’s actually not. From what you can piece together in the game, you realize that the joker in this game really is just the joker’s conscience just thrown into Bruce’s head. You can tell because (SPOILERS) when you get to the part with Henry adams after he killed all the other jokers you can see him about to kill batman and then joker tells batman to kill Henry. Henry immediately sees this, realizes that batman can see joker as well (since joker was talking to batman), and kills himself Edit: sorry for the paragraph lol
I still want to believe this is the actual Joker who was inside Batman's subconscious until the fear toxin came around, so going by that, this was a Joker original.
@@yassomesho4554 Game itself doesn't really give clues whether it's really Joker's spirit coming back from the dead or just construct of Batman's memories of Joker. Since Batman by now knows Joker better than anyone, it points to the latter. However, Joker shows things that Batman never experienced and knew only by second hand from Joker's POV, suggesting that there might be more to it than just a mental concstruct.
@@Ruosteinenknight Come on. I mean, this game doesn't have to be super realistic. Aliens have (kinda) been confirmed to exist via some thug conversations about Superman. And magic already exists in the Arkhamverse because of Ra's Al Ghul, so it's not too far out of field to say this the ACTUAL Joker in Bat's mind.
Because of Batman's hallucinations, we only heard Joker sing. We never heard Johnny sing. I wonder what Johnny sounds like. He didn't get a chance because he got hallucinated out by Batman! Poor Johnny!
If Robin is to anything to come by, Johnny is one of those "It's so bad it's good" type of artists. That, or after becoming Jokerized, it made him sound horribly off-key.
Jack Nicholson was like this, except the whole "You make me" part It was what I disliked of Ledger's performance, the entire nihilism thing kinda ruined the "I do things for the funsies" vibe Joker has
I think they should've had a part of the song from Robin's point of view so we could hear Johnny singing or just have something in the extra menu for it
Do you know the saddest part? We know Batman can sing amazingly, because we heard him do it in the justice league TV series. This voice actor specifically. And now we’ll never have another chance to have a Joker/Batman showstopper duet with Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy.
Mark Hamill is such a great actor that he was able to perform the song in character. Joker: Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Song: *loops* Me: Clever.
This part felt straight outta 60’s Batman. Not even just b/c I had Robin in the 60’s suit, but the idea of Joker singing some big band showtunes while threatening to blow up something just seems like something Caesar Romeo would do. Also dang, Mark Hamil on another level. It’s one thing to do a voice, but to be able to sing WELL in that voice is another.
This is perfect in every way man there is no beating this scene I was pretty much mind controlled by Jokers song to the point where I didn't even know I was controlling Robin until the song already finished and he started it again lol its just too good this has been stuck in my head for years now and I simply can not get rid of it I might go insane.
@@Deviant-Strategic-Assassins here are some tips: only when Joker is facing his back towards Robin is the best opportunity to defuse the bombs (obviously). And when Joker is moving around the stage hide behind objects, that's all I got
honestly I'd love to hear what Johnny was actually singing, cuz most of the things were stuff that the actual Joker did and Batman was just hallucinating it
Dude I was getting so aggravated during the bomb defusing section lol I was like " ITS RIGHT THERE! NO YOU ALREADY DID THAT ONE... NO YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT TELLS YOU ITS DEFUSED BEFORE YOU LET GO OF THE BUTTON!!!"
Ok, so I've recently gotten back to playing this in the higher difficulty, but because I don't generally like music playing during my games I have the background music turned down. When I got to this scene, I realised that the musical accompaniment is part of the general music soundtrack. So picture this whole scene, without the background music.
Lol why would you do that for single player campaigns? I understand turning the music down for MP games like MOBAs, FIFA, fighting games, Rocket League, etc. Music can make some games a lot more entertaining :D
This video game is totally awesome because I played Batman Arkham knight several years ago because I remember the singer known as Johnny charisma and the only way to stop him from blowing himself up plus the police around them, Batman has the stand and listen to this Phyllis sing and then what’s going to happen Robin would have to hide behind obstacles interviews all the bombs that are around them before Batman to disarm the bomb on Johnny charisma.
One theory here is that the joker is quite literally referring to the fact that Johnny charisma is someone he knows that he can’t let die the joker being stuck in the Batmans head and still laughing while not being alive really shows the negative effect of the corrupted titans mixed with fear toxin over a long period batman sees the jokers trait of not caring and even wanting to end his own self if the joker ever did die Batman has broken his code to save
No, where the hell did Charisma get the explosives to rig the place to blow? Batman doesn't carry lethal weapons so it's unlikely he would have bombs at one of his bases.
ok so charisma even while infected with joker had no idea about arkham events joker's hallucination in bruce's head improvised this shit bruce has one helluva improvisation skills and hell of a imagination to see this live and even better divide of attention bruce is both paying attention to charisma's body movement and focusing on joker hallucination blocking charisma's voice
slightly odd bit of design that they have you disarm the bombs only to also disarm the jacket? As surley doing the later, which was very easy seemingly, would've eliminated the need to disarm the others just as well
He would just detonate the bombs themselves then. Or maybe there's something in the jacket that detects his heart beat or something so that the moment the jacket is removed the bombs would go off, or any other number of reasons.
When he disarms the jacket, he cuts the wire which means if there were any bombs left when he disarms the jacket, they'd just detonate regardless of if he pushed the button or not. Basically if you don't disarm them before disarming the jacket, then they'll detonate
I wonder what Bruce was thinking during all of this(as I like to believe canonically he stopped singing at the end to detonate the defused bombs than bats and robs took "him" down
To everyone giving me shit for the terrible gameplay in this section, man this was my first time playing through this part, I was kind of confused and also, honestly, I was paying more attention to Joker and the song itself, than Robin.
Best thing to do is to just not reply to comments
Dude i actually never new you could hide behind joker on the stage
Thought the same
same
The song is so addictive, i don´t blame you pal
"Your parents are dead and I can't stop laughing"
The joker is such a middle school bully
More like a mid life crisis bully.
*How Bruce was bullied in high school*
“Hey Bruce! How are your parents down in Hell doing?!”
I’M even dead and I can’t stoop laughing.
Lmao
If Batman killed this would be so different
Was I the only one who died the first time because of just listening to his song mesmerized, not realizing that I was supposed to control Robin?
Yep xD
It was worth...
That's how I died the first time to. I was expecting something to happen after the song I wasn't expecting an explosion.
Same OMG
Me to olmost but then I moved the control and realised I was robin 😂
Imagine being in a room with Mark Hamill singing in his Joker voice.
That’s what we call heaven
@@theparrishshow9803 agreed
I would die with no regrets
I’d be raining money like some folks would with a stripper
So heaven
Technically Batman is the one coming up with the song😂😂😂
Well Kevin conroys batman can sing so...

Edit: sorry for the paragraph lol
@@obamium9692 not true. He saw that Batman was infected from his green eyes, not the hallucinations. Even robin sees your eyes
@@obamium9692made a whole wrong explanation damn
So during this whole thing, Batman pretty much just hallucinated an entire song.
I still want to believe this is the actual Joker who was inside Batman's subconscious until the fear toxin came around, so going by that, this was a Joker original.
@@yassomesho4554 No one knows joker better than him, so everything we see in this game is pretty authentic.

Well robin said that Alfred can sing better so he's probably isn't that good unless if Alfred is a really good singer
Nathan Drake i bet Alfred sings like an opera singer and johnny charisma cant his notes right when he sings.
I wish I got to hear Johnny sing I thought he was cooler than albert Christina and henry
If Robin is to anything to come by, Johnny is one of those "It's so bad it's good" type of artists. That, or after becoming Jokerized, it made him sound horribly off-key.
@@Boulderpuncher98 he says "even" so Alfred probably isn't that good either.
am I the only one who came here because they legitimately enjoy the song?
nope
uhh why people made questions like this ,seriously?
am i the only one to whatever!!!! pssss
+Shadaloo organization cause they feel lonely ...
Regina Alice no
No this fire 🔥🔥
Possibly the funniest part of the game.
I don't know why you find this funny
The funniest and one of the best parts. Love it. Mark Hamill is such a wonderful Joker.
Joker is the funniest part about batman arkham knight
@@theblackestofshadows7903 agreed
@@theblackestofshadows7903 a joker that's both funny and threatening FINALLY THE PERFECT JOKER
Robin: Wow, this guy can't sing, right bruce?
Batman: ....umm...yeah...sure...
Joker: singing
Batman: standing menacingly
Robin: moonwalk crouching in the background
Wish they made another batman movie and made joker exactly like this
It'd be cool if they just cast Mark Hamill to play him live action
@@SuperKamiGuru-i3c Mark couldn't play the Joker on the big screen but he can surely voice the hell out of him.
@@icecream4you161 troy baker can because he has the right age, facial features and the voice
Who the fuck responds to a 4 year old comment 🤦
Jack Nicholson was like this, except the whole "You make me" part
It was what I disliked of Ledger's performance, the entire nihilism thing kinda ruined the "I do things for the funsies" vibe Joker has
Batman was probably thinking.
Hurry the f*ck up Robin before I REALLY kill him!
I think they should've had a part of the song from Robin's point of view so we could hear Johnny singing or just have something in the extra menu for it
I love the Mark Hamill singing. It's more entertaining than his "Jingle Bells Batman Smells" song in Batman The Animated Series in the 90s.
Anyone get this damn song stuck in their heads?
It's stuck in our head and he can't stop laughing
evanisovich never alone in the asylum....🤣
@@-Mu-min yea
Here
Do you know the saddest part? We know Batman can sing amazingly, because we heard him do it in the justice league TV series. This voice actor specifically. And now we’ll never have another chance to have a Joker/Batman showstopper duet with Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy.
I mean, there's still a slight chance they might go again. After all, neither are dead or anything so who knows what the future holds.
I believe Mark is done with Joker though. It took this song to get him on board.
@boredimisinfinity I'm so sad I'm reading your comment today
@boredomisinfinity5642 Yeeeeaaah, bout that . . .
I'm singing this all around the house maybe scarecrow put fear toxin inside of me
fear toxins or you are the sixth infected joker
I'm genuinely curious what Johnny Charisma was actually singing to Batman.
Nothing any good, as told by Tim lol
Joker’s conscious is in all of the infected patients, so this may actually be the song he was singing.
@@Jaylens29 Well if they know then how don't they call him Bruce
@@arkhamtony3775
Joker doesn't really care who Batman is
@@maxteraform Joker is inside Batman's head and calls him Bruce
Joker: Remember in Arkham City. I killed your girl, so pretty.
Me: Stop singing that!
Mark Hamill never wanted to return to the arkham series but this song made him wanna do it and I respect that
I love how people complain she takes forever to beat the mission but really most of us would be the same way if we get to hear the song more
That "she" is Male
But someone else doing it would hopefully be on person. This idiot just doesn’t know how use his brain
This gonna be song at my wedding's first dance.
your parents are dead and I cant stop laughing?
You’re parents are dead and I can’t stop laughing!
Pro tip: the spotlight on Batman is charisma’s field of view.
Mark Hamill is such a great actor that he was able to perform the song in character.
Joker: Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
Song: *loops*
Me: Clever.
I would give anything just to see Mark Hamill in the booth singing this
I loved the balance between gameplay and things like this
Mark hamill is truly the joker, he’s amazing at this man
In alternate words, "Lex Luthor is upstaged by Luke Skywalker in a singing presentation".
Johnny charisma:the crowd is so exited
Me: woooooo! Yeah!
XD
“Nobody serenades you but me, bats” 🤨
🤨📸 ayo
I just completed this and now I'm back for more! Such a catchy number!
lmfao batman just stood there and took it
The guy that voiced Johnny Charisma also voiced The Flash in Justice League cartoons.
I'm just imagining Mark Hamill in his recording booth having the time of his life singing this
Joker really mastered his living while hiding on Bruce's head
also i love the "no encore ?" Johnny says before getting headbutted
"No Encore?"
(Knocked Out)
+Fireboy i guess they didn't want encore.
Jason todd dead end i can't stop laughing😂😂😂
2:47
One of the best Joker songs EVER haha
joker is a high world crisis bully master of bullying !
This part felt straight outta 60’s Batman.
Not even just b/c I had Robin in the 60’s suit, but the idea of Joker singing some big band showtunes while threatening to blow up something just seems like something Caesar Romeo would do.
Also dang, Mark Hamil on another level.
It’s one thing to do a voice, but to be able to sing WELL in that voice is another.
I like to think the reason Hamil came back for Arkham Knight is solely because they gave him a musical number
That's actually the reason
I just noticed how at 6:02 when he gets headbutted, his entire face becomes bloody.
Ouch
Don't worry. He's fine
This is perfect in every way man there is no beating this scene I was pretty much mind controlled by Jokers song to the point where I didn't even know I was controlling Robin until the song already finished and he started it again lol its just too good this has been stuck in my head for years now and I simply can not get rid of it I might go insane.
Bruce just essentially wrote a diss track on himself
This joker section was the best part of the game for me.
you don’t have to stop disarming when his light goes on you it’s just if your moving around
Is nobody talking about how FUCKING HARD THIS IS, LITERALLY I DO ANYTHING AND HE NOTICES ME
You must suck cause i did this first try lol
@@Jaylens29 maybe you can give him lessons Dick.
@@Deviant-Strategic-Assassins here are some tips: only when Joker is facing his back towards Robin is the best opportunity to defuse the bombs (obviously). And when Joker is moving around the stage hide behind objects, that's all I got
Wow you should quit video games forever
I only failed this once and that was because when I tried to defuse the suicide vest I had accidentally moved in front of him
honestly I'd love to hear what Johnny was actually singing, cuz most of the things were stuff that the actual Joker did and Batman was just hallucinating it
I just played this for the first time this week, and it took me a few tries to get it. Your gameplay is scarily similar to my attempts lol
This is what the new Joaquin Phoenix joker teaser reminds me of , him dancing in the background , so good ! i cant wait
Johnny Charisma blows away Leon.
Johnny Charisma: Time to check out, boys!
Leon S. Kennedy: Aaaaaargh!
LUL love the way how you rushed to Charisma after he mentioned about bombs
Even here there's a riddler trophy
I love how batman just standing there like, can you please shut the fuck up
Best part in the game
Anyway you can disarm the bombs even when he is looking
Dude I was getting so aggravated during the bomb defusing section lol I was like " ITS RIGHT THERE! NO YOU ALREADY DID THAT ONE... NO YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT TELLS YOU ITS DEFUSED BEFORE YOU LET GO OF THE BUTTON!!!"
Angelic voice
I demand he sings more as Joker
6:00
Johny: No encore?
Batman: Haha, head go brrrrrrrrrrrrr

That seems more like joker tbh
You can diffuse the bombs when he’s still looking towards your area if you’re behind it
This song is great.
This video game is totally awesome because I played Batman Arkham knight several years ago because I remember the singer known as Johnny charisma and the only way to stop him from blowing himself up plus the police around them, Batman has the stand and listen to this Phyllis sing and then what’s going to happen Robin would have to hide behind obstacles interviews all the bombs that are around them before Batman to disarm the bomb on Johnny charisma.
The strays Batman was catching almost made this feel more like a diss track 💀💀💀
i wanted batman to say look who laughing now when robin defused the bomb
You do realise that this is the Joker hallucination that you can hear singing and not Chrisma
Jason Todd's dead and i can't stop laughing that cut deep
First time I didn't know I should control robin
I like how is shows Mark's Joker singing during this.
You know you can disarm the bomb when Joker is looking
One theory here is that the joker is quite literally referring to the fact that Johnny charisma is someone he knows that he can’t let die the joker being stuck in the Batmans head and still laughing while not being alive really shows the negative effect of the corrupted titans mixed with fear toxin over a long period batman sees the jokers trait of not caring and even wanting to end his own self if the joker ever did die Batman has broken his code to save
I love this #number. 🕺😊
Jared Leto & Ben Affleck have to reanact this scene!!!
They won't not even close
Oh yes!
Well, about that...
Mark Hamill had too much fun in the booth
Where did he get the bombs in Panessa Studios? I guess I'm thinking too much.
The freeze bomb? It's right next to the empty cell in that command center which holds the other Joker infected people.
No, where the hell did Charisma get the explosives to rig the place to blow? Batman doesn't carry lethal weapons so it's unlikely he would have bombs at one of his bases.
+Spiral Out Oh. No idea lol. Videogame logic maybe? Harley's fault perhaps?
I imagine Quinn brought them
This game scene is amazing👏
Straight up banger
You can disarm the bombs while taking cover
POV me when someone starts a song so I become joker literally
ok so charisma even while infected with joker had no idea about arkham events
joker's hallucination in bruce's head improvised this shit
bruce has one helluva improvisation skills and hell of a imagination to see this live
and even better divide of attention
bruce is both paying attention to charisma's body movement
and focusing on joker hallucination blocking charisma's voice
Bro the Joker is such a good singer lol Id love an album please!
Joker was right it is a catchy toon
Ngl I was really wanting to hear Johnny Charisma sing. And I was hoping he would be alive longer
I have this game and can't wait to go on this part
Joker singing IS LIFE!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I wonder if this scene should become a litmus test to see if you have a good Joker or not.
Imagine Ledger's Joker doing this lol.
slightly odd bit of design that they have you disarm the bombs only to also disarm the jacket? As surley doing the later, which was very easy seemingly, would've eliminated the need to disarm the others just as well

Asked Bats about an Encore with that sh*t eating grin on his face! 🤣
I don't know why but I remember the song being better
Call it my contribution to music 😂😂😂😂
Am I the only one who laughed his ass off at Jokers black humor during this scene
I think im a better villan but the music is a jam
I wonder what Robin heard the entire time
Let's not forget that this song is why Mark Hamill voiced Joker this time.
1.38 I like the theme after he says ‘now I’m part of you’
Johnny Charisma's like Michael Rosenbaum playing the Joker
If you don't want to watch, heres a summary: 😂🗿
I wonder what Bruce was thinking during all of this(as I like to believe canonically he stopped singing at the end to detonate the defused bombs than bats and robs took "him" down
Robin heard the same lyrics except that he heard it in Jhonny's voice
