strange isn't just *wrong* about freeze, he's basically straight up *_gaslighting him_* in order to get under his skin. it's actually super terrifying how he hits _every mark_ of a professional gaslighter throughout these tapes, but especially victors.
Strange is literally denying the reality, that victor is a man of great compassion and empathy, and instead is forcing him to accept a false narrative where everything is Victor's fault. It's damn near textbook
Freeze and Two Face: start of very defiant but Strange plays mind games with them and takes apart their characters piece by piece Catwoman and Riddler: start off very smug and overconfident but Strange puts them in their place, stumps them and gets them to beg Penguin and Mad Hatter: are far more cooperative and enter mutually beneficial partnerships with Strange Joker: the only one who doesn’t fall for Strange’s mind games and actually gets Strange to ask for more to the point where he gets Strange to basically sentence doctors to death just so Strange can get more info. And Joker manages to get through the whole thing unscathed and gets to have some fun along the way.
It’s funny. At the start, Riddler is EMBARRASSING Strange. Running circles around him. It’s not until Strange brings up Batman’s identity where things are flipped on their head. The dude just KNOWS things. It’s honestly mind-boggling how easy he can flip the script, even when he was clearly being outsmarted by Nygma at the beginning.
I believe it's important to recognize that Mr. Freeze did not freeze these pets out of malice, curiosity, or general joy in killing, but out of a child's genuine compassion and an inability to deal with death in a healthy manner. Sure, the result is equally horrific, but I think it's nontheless important to distinguish between the reasons as one happens from a lack of empathy, while the other is rooted in empathy for the pets and the owners who have to live through the feelings of loss. Victor is disturbed, yes, but in a much different way than the other rogues who, for the most part, are very much devoid of compassion. Really makes me think that Victor suffered a loss early on and had no one who could've given him the tools to cope... ;_;
That makes much more sense for Mr. Freeze and it gives him a more interesting character trait rather than just the usual "serial killer symptom". Thanks for pointing this out.
I am a little disappointed you didn’t mention during Catwoman’s tapes that she claims she doesn’t know who Batman really is, which is an interesting point. We know she knows his secret by the time of Arkham Knight, so it’s possible she was only told in the nine months between City & Knight, but she could know during City & just be lying to Strange, but it is your video & you can do this better than I could ever hope to in a million years. & on the topic of Holly from what I’ve heard in several versions there’s an implied romance between Selena & Holly but it’s never outright stated. Then again, I know just as little about her as you so I could be VERY wrong. I apologise in advance if I am😢
*@ClownPuncher139* You asked if there was any content that doesn't sideline Two-Face, and I must say Batman: The Telltale Series season 1 has a big focus on Harvey, his mental issues, and becoming Two-Face. If you haven't played that game yet, I recommend that you do.
Hello clownpuncher139 are you ever going to make a video about batman arkham vr? you never talked about that game and you even made a video about origins blackgate
@@ClownPuncher139 well compared to them he is despite all of his acts and despicable acts and manipulation like he did to Harley compared to the others like freeze he is not too smart
I prefer Richard Molls individual voices for both the good and bad side of Harvey but was disappointed that once he became two face he only ever spoke in the gravely voice. I really love how Troy Baker goes back and forth and even seems to have a mixed version when they are both unified. Really wish he got more time in the spot light. I think an Origins sequel game that shows the Arkham series’s long halloween equivalent that’s mentioned a couple of times could be great
I always felt it was a missed opportunity to never see Harvey dent. Would've been sick to see batman more in the spotlight of the public after origins takes place but still being pretty unknown with the city also still in that transition period of chaos.
@@conman_yt7999 we can only hope I’ve never liked a series of games or movies as much as I love the Arkham franchise if it was up too me I’d just make a Arkham flashpoint game so they can continue under a new continuity
@@thelavenderhatter5924 Spirit of Count Dooku: *I still remember the time I cut your father's arm during our first duel.* Spirit of Luke Skywalker: *Well, from what he told me, he cut both of your hands and your head. I should be glad he only cut one of mine.*
It's a crying shame how neglected the tapes in this game are (or any of the games for that matter, I love the origins ones and the scarecrow/Jason ones in knight especially). They give you the backstory of the character, which is obviously great, but there are so many questions people may ask as they play the game that are answered by these tapes and what strange says about what goes on. Edit: something else fascinating about the tapes is what he says to catwoman. He explains how she knows so little about batman and that she can try to win his heart but he believes she never will. And looking at knight, she tried but batman felt they couldn't do it. Strange was right.
Fun fact, if you go to the Church after the end of the story, you see Vicki Vale interviewing Sharp. If you talk to both, you get two tapes for Sharp. The tapes aren't too special, but they do confirm that the Huntress and Creeper exist in the Arkhamverse.
@@markmagician2471 Batman tried to cure him in Batman The Animated Series, but that didn't work at all given the end of that episode, and the fact that we see him as a background character on Justice Leauge The Animated series. I know these games aren't connected to the DCAU in anyway, I'm just saying.
@@b1ackspid3r43yeah and I can’t remember I think it’s in the beginning of city he’s bruised than later on he healed which points to him having a healing factor like the creeper
There's something about Asylum and Hugo that nobody talks about and it took me a while to realize. In one of Arkham's spirit stones Sharp mentions a friend who share the same views and even says they'll make a good team, and it was Strange all along
@@BrandontheAwesome there is a small Easter egg however. In asylum the riddle to unlock Hugo Strange's bio is hidden behind very high tech defense showing his file,a tiny hint of his importance in future games
To everyone saying it's Dr. Young that was probably the original intent, but both city and origins confirmed sharp was being controlled by forces beyond him. Shiva's master helped him open it and strange made him think he was the spirit of arkham. He was definitely talking about Dr. Young in that tape though since he's already believing himself possessed.
If you're looking for some media of two face I'd recommend the animated series there are a bunch of episodes featuring dent the ones I can think of are Two-Face - Part One Two-Face - Part Two The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne Almost Got ‘Im Shadow of the Bat - Part One Shadow of the Bat - Part Two Trial Second Chance Sins of the Father Judgement Day On Leather Wings (cameo as Harvey Dent) Pretty Poison (cameo as Harvey Dent) Dreams in Darkness (cameo) Fear of Victory (cameo) Fire From Olympus (cameo) besides that I could recommend some comics featuring him if you want
As a major Two-Face fanboy, I had a lot of fun watching the *Justice League: Action* episode _"Double Cross"_ (from 2017) It's sadly the only episode of the show with Harvey Dent, his gimmick was way better than the one from the _Harley Quinn_ cartoon... He's kinda similar to how he was represented during his small role in *Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay* But yeah, it's a Batman-centric episode with Kevin Conroy voicing our Dark Knight, and the villains are Deadshot and Two-Face, what Batman fan could refuse to watch it? Honestly this cartoon is a treasure chest when it comes to (and I hate to use that word) "underrated/underappreciated" Kevin Conroy performances. He is in top form in that show, and there are quite a lot of Batman-centric episodes that are a must-watch for Batfams around the globe. *Time Share* is a love letter to Batman:TAS... in it, Batman and Blue Beetle go back in time because of Chronos , and find themselves watching a young, inexperienced Batman going up against Carmine Falcone for the first time... and can they help him without pulling a Barry Allen and dismantle reality? *Time Out* is a solid coop episode with Batman and Booster Gold, and it was my personal tear-jerker in this show... and pretty much the episode that turned me into a Booster Gold fan (before that I mainly knew him from *Smallville* and a few comic books in which he'd appear). Just a couple ideas in case someone else wants to give this version of Kevin Conroy's Batman a chance.
I'm so happy you're so fixated on Hugo Strange's "no" because *I am too* The way he admits that, it's like he knows how sad it sounds but couldn't care less about it
It's interesting to have further insight into how dangerous Strange can be, being able to break down each of Batman's rogues piece by methodical piece.
Adding onto the Two-Face point, Troy Baker is consistently excellent throughout the entire series. He's basically Hamill level as Joker in origins, very good in the limited moments as Tim Drake's Robin, and regardless of what people think of Arkham Knight/Red Hood, Troy did a phenomenal job in that game too. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill get the plaudits (and rightfully so, they're amazing) but I feel like Troy Baker, Nolan North as Penguin, Cory Burton as Hugo Strange, Dee Bradley Baker as Ra's and Grey DeLisle as Catwoman all have very good performances that aren't spoken about enough.
Same, it adds some information to the characters but some have ones that aren’t even seen in game like Maxie Zeus or Ratcatcher , and other small things in the game
Gotta say, Hatter is my favourite Batman villain. I love his hypnosis gimmick and how he can be easily overlooked as one of the most important villains in the Arkham Universe, as he is the one who helped Strange mind control Sharp.
Troy baker also voiced red hood/ Jason Todd in knight, robin in city, and was Jason in Arkham VR. He was also (obviously) joker in origins. He is pretty damn talented
Even after a decade, the Arkham series is still generating content for videos & contributing to batman universes, that's signify how passionately Rocksteady made those games & how amazing there are even till date.
Great video! Love how much the tapes provide so much backstory for Strange and his meddling. There are two tapes you didn’t cover, two from Quincy Sharp. You unlock them by talking to Vale & Sharp in the Church in the post game. I’d love to see you do this for the Arkham City Stories!
Arkham Asylum had the Chronicles of Arkham but that was more lore of the Asylum. Strange and Ra’s puppeteering all of these villains to mentally take on Batman is memorable as hell. It’s a wonderful take on the lore. This should be what a Batman TV miniseries series could look like. Add in some more villains like Deathstroke, Firefly, and maybe Anarky, we would have a great TV show.
Not sure if you’ve watched Batman TAS much before. However, if you’re looking for a good two face story then look no further than Two Face Part 1 and 2 (I believe it’s season 1 episode 17 and 18). Genuinely fantastic episodes and some of my favourites of the series. Really gives a deep dive into Two Face’s origins and psyche. Also don’t know if you’ve read these two books however I firstly highly recommend Grant Morrison’s Arkham Asylum: A serious house on serious earth. Really explores the psychology of Batman’s villains and there’s a interesting excerpt on Two Face. Secondly, Batman the long Halloween heavily focuses on Two face and is a fantastic crime noir type story. Interestingly, The Dark Knight was very much heavily inspired by the Long Halloween. So defs check em out, cannot recommend em enough!
For good two face centric episodes and movies: - Batman TAS: Two-Face part 1 & 2, Second Chance, and Judgement Day - Movies: Batman the Long Halloween Other than that, another commenter left some graphic novel and comic suggestions. I highly recommend checking those out. Also take a look at the ten best Two-Face stories by Mr Rogues.
"The dark knight returns". Really good breakdown of Harvey's character as a whole. Shows what would happen if Harvey had plastic surgery to fix his face/body. Another good one is "arkham asylum, hell on earth" which shows two face locked up in arkham and forced to use a deck of tarot cards to make all decisions. This ultimately ends with Harvey incapable of making simple decisions like if he can use the bathroom or not
Also in the Arkham unhinged series we see Catwoman trying to take the chip and two face trying to batman the steps in and saves Catwoman but two face tricks Catwoman making her get caught by tiger. So that what the guard was taking about at the beginning of Catwoman's tape

For the Two Face media you ask for, I would recomend: -The two episodes in the Animated Series "Two Face". They act as an origin story for this version of the character, and they're great. -"Second chance". Another Batman The Animated Series episode, this one of an atempt of curing Harvey -The Dark Knight, for obvious reasons -And, finaly, the comics "Long Halloween" and It's secuel "Dark Victory". This two are my favourite interpretations of Two Face and my favourite Batman comics in general. I would 100% recomend you to read them if you haven't.
7:50 In the Arkham Stories, in specific the one you get by scanning the "See no evil, hear no evil" trio of skelletons in the Museum says that Penguin FOUGHT against TYGER and the Police to avoid his Museum and Iceberg Lunge to be taken over into Arkham City, killing three veteran cops in the fight. This gave the necesary proof to just build the Wall around the Museum, trapping Penguin and his gang inside Arkham City.
I don't know man, Mister Freeze was trying to save those pets, not hurt them. I don't think it's fair to compare him with a serial killer. I may be wrong, tho.
It's obviously not 1:1, but the idea was similar enough for me to make the comparison. Victor starts his freezing tendencies on animals only to evolve and use them on humans in the future, just as serial killers generally start their actions on animals only to eventually use them on humans.
If you want a good Two Face episode aside from his two parter from BTAS, watch Judgement Day from the New Batman Adventures. It really picks apart Two Face’s psyche more, that’s all I’ll say
Yeah Holly is a younger sister figure to Selina (not like Selina’s actual sister Maggie) but Holly is actually a lesbian (this was way back in 2003 so it was kinda groundbreaking at the time) and a super fun character who I love a lot. As for Two-Face recommendations, I would suggest the Long Halloween animated movies, Two-Face’s origin two-parter from the Animated Series, Second Chance, Sins of the Father, and Judgement Day.
If you're looking for good Two-Face stuff, I highly recommend the Two Part Animated Adaptation of Batman: The Long Halloween. It also has Troy Baker voicing Joker.
Your comments on Penguin are why I find him underrated as a Batman villain, especially in the Arkhamverse. Penguin treats being in Arkham as a business arrangement more than an actual prison, and unlike most of the other rogues he's a businessman. A sadistic criminal businessman, but he can stand up frequently to the other rogues like Joker and Two-Face and actually hold his own.
Actually, in arkham asylum, Scarecrow's audio tapes explain how he was able to create a new toxin and how there is a Cure. Batman appears in the final of his tapes
Actually the two face stuff seems heavily inspired by the arkham asylum serious house on a serious earth comic where he's progressively been given more choices to work with and he loses his mind over the abundance of choices instead of his typical yes or no
strange isn't just *wrong* about freeze, he's basically straight up *_gaslighting him_* in order to get under his skin. it's actually super terrifying how he hits _every mark_ of a professional gaslighter throughout these tapes, but especially victors.
Strange is literally denying the reality, that victor is a man of great compassion and empathy, and instead is forcing him to accept a false narrative where everything is Victor's fault. It's damn near textbook
I guess you could say it's...

Definitely going to have to look up how gaslighting works and rewatch the Freeze tapes
Freeze and Two Face: start of very defiant but Strange plays mind games with them and takes apart their characters piece by piece
Catwoman and Riddler: start off very smug and overconfident but Strange puts them in their place, stumps them and gets them to beg
Penguin and Mad Hatter: are far more cooperative and enter mutually beneficial partnerships with Strange
Joker: the only one who doesn’t fall for Strange’s mind games and actually gets Strange to ask for more to the point where he gets Strange to basically sentence doctors to death just so Strange can get more info. And Joker manages to get through the whole thing unscathed and gets to have some fun along the way.
Yup. As Ra's said, Strange is good but not as good as Batman and these tapes prove it
Joker psyop master
Just another reason why Joker is in my top three characters of all time.

Ah nice, again a video about one of the greatest games
Troy Bakers Twoface is great. I wish we got more of him!
I missed your content bro😭
I recommend the episode “Second chance” episode from Batman: The Animated Series
It focuses on Two-Face’s psychological trauma.
Strange finally being annoyed with Nigma: “petulant child, I will tolerate your insolence no more!”
A good Two Face episode from BTAS is the one about his origin, simply titled Two Face

"The dark knight returns". Really good breakdown of Harvey's character as a whole. Shows what would happen if Harvey had plastic surgery to fix his face/body. Another good one is "arkham asylum, hell on earth" which shows two face locked up in arkham and forced to use a deck of tarot cards to make all decisions. This ultimately ends with Harvey incapable of making simple decisions like if he can use the bathroom or not
Also in the Arkham unhinged series we see Catwoman trying to take the chip and two face trying to batman the steps in and saves Catwoman but two face tricks Catwoman making her get caught by tiger. So that what the guard was taking about at the beginning of Catwoman's tape
Honestly, the voice of Hugo Strange always makes me think of Christopher Lee.
Still amazes me to learn he wasn't the actor.

For mr freeze’s recounting of his origins being slightly different to cold cold heart, victor could just be remembering it differently
YES! Thank you for uploading!
Lessss gooooo just in time!
When Hugo Strange said “no” I felt that 😔
For the Two Face media you ask for, I would recomend:
-The two episodes in the Animated Series "Two Face". They act as an origin story for this version of the character, and they're great.
-"Second chance". Another Batman The Animated Series episode, this one of an atempt of curing Harvey
-The Dark Knight, for obvious reasons
-And, finaly, the comics "Long Halloween" and It's secuel "Dark Victory". This two are my favourite interpretations of Two Face and my favourite Batman comics in general. I would 100% recomend you to read them if you haven't.
clownpunchers back girls its like he aint never left
Damm shame that we never got a fight with Strange in the bat suit
Batman: The Audio Adventures on spotify has a really good Two Face Story imo!
The interview tapes are pretty interesting. They add little nuggets to the story.
This comment’s for the algorithm!
7:50 In the Arkham Stories, in specific the one you get by scanning the "See no evil, hear no evil" trio of skelletons in the Museum says that Penguin FOUGHT against TYGER and the Police to avoid his Museum and Iceberg Lunge to be taken over into Arkham City, killing three veteran cops in the fight. This gave the necesary proof to just build the Wall around the Museum, trapping Penguin and his gang inside Arkham City.
I don't know man, Mister Freeze was trying to save those pets, not hurt them. I don't think it's fair to compare him with a serial killer. I may be wrong, tho.
It's obviously not 1:1, but the idea was similar enough for me to make the comparison. Victor starts his freezing tendencies on animals only to evolve and use them on humans in the future, just as serial killers generally start their actions on animals only to eventually use them on humans.
If you want a good Two Face episode aside from his two parter from BTAS, watch Judgement Day from the New Batman Adventures. It really picks apart Two Face’s psyche more, that’s all I’ll say
Please make this a meme
Hugo: no
Love the content❤
“No.”
If you want more lore from Arkham City, the Arkham City Stories definitely provide it
Corey burton is just a great voice actor.
Yeah Holly is a younger sister figure to Selina (not like Selina’s actual sister Maggie) but Holly is actually a lesbian (this was way back in 2003 so it was kinda groundbreaking at the time) and a super fun character who I love a lot.
As for Two-Face recommendations, I would suggest the Long Halloween animated movies, Two-Face’s origin two-parter from the Animated Series, Second Chance, Sins of the Father, and Judgement Day.
I didn't know Catwoman had a sister is her sister also related to carmine Falcone
@@dylanbyrne9597 No, Maggie Kyle is younger than Selina and born from a later father that Maria Kyle married.
@@hudsondavis1399 OK thanks for the info
Watch the long Halloween 1 and 2 if you want a good two-face story.
or just read the long halloween comics! theyre cool too.
@@potucsimp true
If you're looking for good Two-Face stuff, I highly recommend the Two Part Animated Adaptation of Batman: The Long Halloween. It also has Troy Baker voicing Joker.
Your comments on Penguin are why I find him underrated as a Batman villain, especially in the Arkhamverse. Penguin treats being in Arkham as a business arrangement more than an actual prison, and unlike most of the other rogues he's a businessman. A sadistic criminal businessman, but he can stand up frequently to the other rogues like Joker and Two-Face and actually hold his own.
I love these tapes so much and what they reveal about the characters, to the extent that I’ve redone the voice over for most of them .
I liked your mr freeze pun
Actually, in arkham asylum, Scarecrow's audio tapes explain how he was able to create a new toxin and how there is a Cure. Batman appears in the final of his tapes
A decent movie for two face would be The long Halloween Part 2 (watch part 1 to catch up if you want)
You should totally watch Batman vs Two-Face! A really fun movie with a cool re-imagining of Two-Face’s character for the 60s Batman universe
For Two-Face, watch the Two-Face two parter (ha) of the Animated Series and the Batman Vs. Two-Face animated movie, they're both great
The Joker and Two Face have taped were so good man. Those ones truly dove deep into their origin story.
Actually the two face stuff seems heavily inspired by the arkham asylum serious house on a serious earth comic where he's progressively been given more choices to work with and he loses his mind over the abundance of choices instead of his typical yes or no
Riddler be like blah blah blah blah blah blah I'm better than you batman blah conundrum 😂
This was super cool,lots of stuff i didn't know 👍
I think this is considered the best one just because strange says 'no'
The best feeling is when you open up UA-cam and hear, “gday chapts “
The part 2 in the animated series is his backstory
HELLO BOYS
Good two face episode would be his two part origin and second chance
Good video clown keep up the good work, could u do the Arkham knight tapes for ur next video? They are my favourite
Me: Will I ever find love at some point in my life?
God: 3:00
Hugo Strange’s No shall be memed
