This is, without a doubt, one of the smartest game bosses ever. You cannot just fight him head on or use the same strategies more than once, you have to adapt, just like how he adapts his.
Freeze is the type of villain that is too fictional to bring on so soon. First, they start with gangsters or criminals like Carmine Falcone, Zsasz, Catwoman, Penguin,Two Face then 1st degree fictional gadgeteers like Joker, Mad Hatter, Scarecrow and finally really Sci-Fi villains like Freeze, Clayface, Poison Ivy etc. Freeze is my favorite villain and The DCEU and Arrowverse are screwed up. Pattinson's feels like Bale's. Freeze is too unrealistic for it. Unless, if they go a different direction after that
@@suryasingh9738 they are screwed because they clearly can't handle Batman. Arrowverse already has Batwoman with the discount Batcave and the Crapmobile. And Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey has established Gotham as a slightly better shithole than the Schumacher films. So yeah, they're screwed. As for Pattinson, he can to remain constant to get to a movie worthy of Mr Freeze and I genuinely don't feel that he'll stay around for a seque.
Such a better fight on hard mode. Really forces you to use every trick available. I think you have to use 7 takedowns instead of half of them. I didn’t realise his little missile things also gave away your location to him. I just thought they were to distract and take you health down
Freeze: "Save my wife from Joker" Batman: *says nothing and goes towards the safe as if Freeze will just let him even though he was going after Joker anyway* World's Greatest Detective!
@@DOGE-nr6mf "I will save your wife, but I need to be in top shape if I want to survive long enough to do so" how was that so hard for him to explain? And don't you dare say Freeze just won't believe him, there's literally nothing to lose if he just gives batman the cure
@@thenewmase If Freeze gives Bats the cure. Then Batman would have no incentive to help him. Batman’s first priority would’ve been getting the infected citizens the cure that was manufactured. He only pursued Joker afterwards because Harley took the cure he needed while fighting Freeze.
Still the best boss fight in this series (other than Deathstroke), Gotham Knights won't be able to live up to this because it was so unique using the environment and your/Batman's skills to take him down.
What pisses me off about this scene is if freeze would’ve just given Batman the cure right there, Batman would’ve regained better strength to help him. But nah freeze gotta be a dick about it...plus pLoT I guess
Desperate people can act irrationally/blindly One could assume Mr.Freeze would go deal with Joker himself if he actually beat Batman, though after acknowledging he can't beat Batman, he does the next best thing and Begs to Batman, also a freeze grenade as a consolation gift for the fight
I assume he thought that destroying one of the vials would leave enough cure only for the Batman and none for the Joker, who he thought Batman would save.
He probably wanted a bargaining chip to hang over Batman's head to get him to go and save Nora. Which Batman probably would've done anyway, but Victor wanted it done now regardless of whatever Joker was planning.
I beat him at the first trial. I just remember being so freaked out by him my hands were shaking while holding the controller. When I tried using the same strategy to stun him the second time I was like "Oh shit ! Go go go go go !". That makes him one of the most satisfying boss to beat since you have true difficulty as well as the obligation to adapt to his counterattacks.
Maurice Lamarche, also The Brain from Pinky and the Brain and just about every vocal performance of Orson Welles in the last 30+ years. He's an outstanding voice actor with some live action skills too.
funny thing about this is that if Freeze had simply said, "hey, I'll give you this, but only if you agree to save my wife from the joker", batman absolutely would have done it. and then freeze would have had a healthy batman going after his wife instead of a sick one.
That's what I was thinking! Freeze knows Batman doesn't let anyone die or be in danger so why didn't he just give Batman the cure so he would have a Batman in peak condition going to rescue her & than he could have said something like "I will give you the other one if you save Nora first"
I think The Batman got the Riddler right what Batman Forever could not get right. Perhaps they can do the same for Mr Freeze what Batman and Robin couldn’t do.
@@arnoldrimmer960 The Dark Knight isn’t what Joker is supposed to be either, but it is an insanely popular take on the character. It works because it still encapsulates the core ideas of the character.
One of the greatest boss fights of all time Batman: You don't want to do this freeze Mr Freeze: Oh I believe I do, You will bring me Nora or you will die
@@amarigamer1192 im just saying that freeze didn't need to be so dramatic. Batman would have died in minutes, and if freeze jst gave him the cure maybe later batman could have found nora.
The Fact that freeze was responsible for killing joker (He broke that vial) yet we still help him afyer he threatened us shows the type of person Bats is
Most boss fights in this game (and most games) have rinse and repeat themes with rules of three. Do the same things 3x with increasing difficulty and you win, this one forces you to do something totally different
Why is he so cold towards batman? It always sends chills down my spine hearing batman's origin story, makes me shiver in my boots. These were some N ice puns if you ask me
When Freeze says "Oh I believe I do. You will bring me Nora, or you will die.", in the original version, the lights on the suit slowly come to life, but in this "remaster", you can't see shit. You can even still hear the sound effect from the original. How do you even fuck this up so bad?
That's not how this works from a programming standpoint. There could be and probably are a thousand different subtle code changes caused just by things as subtle as a framerate change. At a certain point, they have to accept "close enough" because the game was originally coded for powerpc/unix dedicated console hardware and software and has to be translated now for what's basically a standard Windows PC.
@@thecactusman17 There's so many things wrong in City remaster that it's not simply an error with porting. Even if some things did break when porting to newer hardware, it's the devs responsibility to see that it at least looks like how it did originally.

Freeze, what made you think you needed to blackmail Batman into saving Nora? He would have done it anyway if you just told him the situation, especially considering who the culprit is. So not only are you wasting time, you just cost Batman the cure, so now he’s at death’s door while trying to save your wife.
The boss fight itself was really good, but if you really think about it, it was pretty pointless since freeze could have still given him the cure, and then batman would've still found his wife.
Loved the fight but I hated how contrived it was since Freeze knows Batman won't let anyone die so why didn't he just give Batman the cure so he is in peak condition to go save Nora from Joker? what happened if he said "Okay fine I will save your wife than give me the cure once she is back" & when he is on his way to the the steel mill or in it he passes out or dies from the poison?.
Wish it was Arnold as Freeze 🥶 other than that absolutely love ❤️ Freeze and Batman and this fight is epic today I ordered Batman 🦇 Return To Arkham for PS4 but I’m Playing on my PS5 return to Arkham has Arkham City and Arkham Aslyum that comes with it, I need to know can I use The Joker 🃏 to play as too? Does anyone know?
Mr. Freeze: "You beat me up so badly....Oh, by the way, here is an ice weapon for all the trouble I caused."
Well they both have a common enemy. And batman agreed to find his wife
Mr. Freeze: Please take this ice grenade as an apology gift. It was foolish of me lashing out at you like that"

He would have saved Nora without this fight. After a decade of this Victor should know this by now.

This is, without a doubt, one of the smartest game bosses ever. You cannot just fight him head on or use the same strategies more than once, you have to adapt, just like how he adapts his.
Yeah, it looks easier now once you realize what you need to do.
But on the first take, it was pretty awesome.
Kinda funny how Freeze one minute is like “you will die” then after Batman kicks the shit out of him he’s just like “perhaps I can help..” 🤣🤣
1:27 😂
"This. Is not a time for negotiation" I always loved that line. So threatening
You will bring me Nora……OR.YOU. WILL. DIE!
Mr. Freeze: “I can evolve my strategies. Can you?”
Batman: “Fuck around and find out.”
This fight makes me wanna see a live action Mr. Freeze in either the DCEU, the Arrowverse, or even Robert Pattinson's Batman series.
Freeze is the type of villain that is too fictional to bring on so soon.

Also in New game plus he takes more hits and ur detective mode is jammed which I love

I like how they are having a fight to the death one minute and are best bros helping each other out the next. Truly a unique chemistry
Well this shows why Batman always held back with Freeze the most (other than Catwoman).
Because he's not that bad and also really powerful?

It’s almost like characters in fiction act like real people with emotions and irrational behaviors. Who would’ve guessed.

4:01 what a great Easter Egg and setup for his Joker infection story in AK
Oh man this one was hard lmao
For the first time playing through it, it is extremly hard and oracle takes forever to give u the schematics
I thought so too before I learned how many sneak attacks he is vulnerable to. Its a great boss fight and Freezes trash talk is 🔥
It was actually a fun boss fight though.

This boss fight is up there with the many great boss fights in Arkham Origin, definitely replaying Arkham City today when I get off.
I think The Batman got the Riddler right what Batman Forever could not get right. Perhaps they can do the same for Mr Freeze what Batman and Robin couldn’t do.
Not really, Arkham trilogy got him right. Maybe you liked what they did with him but that's definitely not what riddler is supposed to be.

Cause Joker took Nora and told him he would kill her if he didn’t kill Batman

You did it so fast. Took me forever the first time. Now I have to readjust to the movements of City vs Knight.
The sounds of Bman punching Freeze sounds like he's beating up a trash bin XD
“This is not a time for negotiation!” Sent chills down my spine
I love how his voice matches the animated series as soon as he dons the helmet
Thanks I've been stuck on this for days
I'm ready for Gotham knights
I met Maurice LaMarche, Freeze’s voa and he is a worthy successor to the og from the DCAU : Michael Ansara. May Ansara rip 🪦
That voice change at 1:27 is so awesome and creepy
Thank you so much this helps me out with Arkham city
Best fight of the series loved it and kinda freaky he’s slow but will find you
Batman post-fight: "That thing I definitely wasn't going to do before? I'm definitely going to do it."
Getting close to this mission now…on a PS4 Pro but still looks beautiful. 😎
They were just two homies that had a bad day, had a good fight, in-turn worked it out.
Best boss fight ever. Especially with music turned off to a bit of realism.
4:10 Why did they reuse this for arkham knight?
This is what peak performance looks like.
Favorite Batman rouges right here. A sympathetic villain that gets a bittersweet redeemed ending in this series.
1:31 damn that cake tho

youre in my world now batman
When Batman calls him Freeze instead of Victor , that means Batman is starting to get pissed off.

"FREEZE IN HELL, BATMAAAAN!!"
Wait...wrong Mr. Freeze.
They overdid it with the animation. It looked better before. The battle also feels short.
I think it was short because the guy playing knew exactly what to do, it’s pretty stressful if you’re fighting for the first time
It’s only shorter because the guy playing is good
That's what happens when you're good at games i played Arkham city on hard difficulty and i defeated mr freeze in 3 minutes
Why does this look so much better than the remaster
uhm it is the remaster
It would be awesome to see a Batman Beyond game set in the Batman Arkham universe taking place 30 years after Batman Arkham Knight.
