way to capture the whimsical childlike side of Pennywise, while still making him unsettling and sinister. This is actually insane how well you all pulled him off.
He fuckin breathes that character man if you look at the behind the scenes of Arkham City hes doing some lines and he just loses himself he curls and juts and winds his fingers its just so enthrawling hes earned the title
Like how Kevin Conroy’s Batman is completely iconic too. Keaton and Bale were the best cinema versions of Batman in my opinion, but Conroy’s voice just breathes the character.
First: This is truly ERBs masterpiece. Second: I sincerely thing the person playing Joker in this should be the new DCU Joker. A marvelous homag to Mark Hamill's Joker while still having their own style.
nice peter is who played the joker, and i agree. he did such an amazing job in this battle. which he typically does, him and lloyd are amazing at what they do.
I also liked how one of the background Jokers was holding a crowbar. It was a reference to the death of the second Robin, Jason Todd. Amazing detail ERB!
That happened to red skull when he wanted to team up with joker Joker doesnt like nazis so he said hell no lmao, he wanted to take on red skull himself As you said being morally questioned by the joker is a red flag lmao
Still the best ERB 4 years later ! my favorite line (or one of them at least) is : "Even I wouldn't stoop to this kind of impropriety, this is Earth you space demon, we live in a society !"
Can I just say what a miracle it is that NicePeter's Joker performance isn't cringy or embarrassing? There are so many Mark Hamill impersonations out there and maybe one out of every hundred isn't painful to watch/listen to. So it is a huge testament to his talent and commitment as a performer that I can watch this without squinting through the whole thing. I feel like a lot of people try way too hard to be faithful to Hamill's Joker, and they wind up sounding forced and desperate. Even though I hear Hamill's Joker in NicePeter's voice, it sounds more influenced by him than it is painstakingly trying to recreate his voice, which you just can't do. I just really respect him as an artist.
NicePeter's Joker should ask that Batman where his goddamn electric car is. Because Joker here put up a better fight for Batman than Batman did against Zach Sherlock. Sorry, but that wasn't the best way to play Bats.
@@blackjacktrial That's why I'm SOOO glad they waited to do Joker until now. I don't think there was ever any chance that Batman performance was going to be good back in 2012 or whenever it was. And Joker probably would've had the same "yikes" energy if they had tried to portray him back then. It's crazy how much both Peter and Lloyd have evolved as artists. Also, I haven't seen the Harley Quinn animated show, but I get your reference.
Though bringing up Heath Ledger isn't exactly a diss, given that even after Phoenix, Ledger is still the standart anyone playing the character will be measured by.
everyone subconciously knows this is their magnum opus because there isn't any new content being produced that would have this kind of widespread appeal with its depth
Fuck..after the joker basically called that mofo a child molester..he couldn't some back with an A.K. to top that shit..damn..slayed that fucking clown
@@graciehunt7285 "I'm the John Wayne of the John Wayne Gacy's the underground clown posse" John Wayne Gacy was the serial killer who worked as a birthday clown to case victims. He raped and murder boys. If Joker implied Pennywise was a child molester, then Pennywise said "Well, yes. And much worse..."
Ask Robin if I drop bars: (This is a reference to the 1988 Batman comic series "Batman: A Death in the Family" in which the Joker kidnaps Jason Todd (the second Robin) and brutally beats him with a crowbar, before leaving him for dead in a warehouse that is then blown up by a time bomb)
*"It's like cocaine, you know what I said. I don't know how any kind of joke could go over that head."* I love that line from Joker since he was referring to Stephen King using cocaine which was the reason why he forgot he wrote Cujo.
@@bri_lala6960 "Cujo was written during a period where King was both high on cocaine constantly and sometimes getting blackout drunk, and in his later memoir On Writing, the author admitted he barely had any recollection of doing so. "
Honestly it’s so in-character for the Joker to embrace the “We Live In a Society” meme with such contextual prowess here. Gosh this was a good video. Both clowns spit such great lines. I feel like the Joker’s humanity (what’s left of it) was really clear in his quips and nitpicks, in contrast to Pennywise’s condescending, monstrous, demonic perspective. Also the voice delivery on both was FLAWLESS
Ok seriously: in the entire history of ERB, this has got to be one of the best examples of lines, flows, costume, Easter eggs, accuracy battles ever. FLAWLESS
I just realized the reason the Joker is a “Shining man” is because he was played by Jack Nicholson. Who was also the main antagonist in the Shining obviously.
@@jerwwilliams guy had no clue how what good filming was tbh, kubric should have done all his work cus it was def the best before the more modern stuff came out.
This entire line’s worth a million bucks: “Ask Robin if I drop bars, I take smiles and I leave scars, guards in Arkham will admit that the Joker just killed IT.”
Lots of folks missed the subtle wordplay in this bar that makes it extra special. “I leave scars, guards”, “Scars, guards” = Skarsgard, which is the last name of the actor who played the latest Pennywise
@Flareguy i agree. I was just saying this because in the bar it says "they cast a Phoenix to play me" (joker) and at the end of the second he was confirmed not to be the joker
I love how Joker immediately started getting defensive when Pennywise threatened Batman because that's exactly something Joker would do if someone tried to kill Batman
It's been 4+ years since this masterpiece dropped, and this is still my favorite. The makeup is just awesome, and this ERB shows off Peter and Lloyd both perfectly fitting and playing their parts, and loving every minute of it.
@@ransax True, but I'm especially impressed with how they portrayed joker. As soon as he said "don't you lay a finger on my bats" I immediately thought to myself "That is SO something the Joker would say!"
You also forgot the heavy theory that Joker and Batman could actually be brothers. Considering how much he knows about Bruce and his whole family even claiming to have been there when his parents were killed. Also we know Joker has been to a mental hospital and depending on how old you are when witnessing something so terrifying you either have a foggy memory of it and only becomes clear when you let yourself remember or it scars you for life leaving you with a fucked up brain and you can never let it go. It’s possible the Joker saw what happened and it left him fucked up for life, which could explain why he was in an asylum for so long until he got the help of Harley. Poor Harley too considering she developed Stockholm syndrome from being with Joker even though there is no love. Harleen is being heavily abused simply because her clown prince of crime is fucked up. Wouldn’t surprise me if he ended being Batman’s brother in one of the movies they’ll likely make or remake.
@@shadamy4ever212 what…. How does that make any sense? Why would the waynes have kept a second child a secret? And Joker hasn’t lived in Arkham his whole life, he appeared soon after Batman. This is really only a legit theory if you’re talking about the Joker movie, which is so far removed from the comics it’s ridiculous. It’s an ok movie don’t get me wrong, but it’s not Joker. At all. Like, it completely takes the point of his character and shoves it down the drain. The idea of making Batman and Joker brothers is just dumb. Not to mention all the flirting and sexual innuendos he frequently taunts Batman with in the comics
Joker once said that he only kills when it would be funny, whereas Pennywise kills because he can. Having standards for killing is a pretty warped way of being civilized. Furthermore, he refuses to work with Nazis if he knows they're Nazis, and he pays his taxes on time, so, you know, there's that.
" In My first appearance the bat was supposed to slay me, but I can't be killed that's why they cast a Phoenix to play me" There are multiple reasons why that bar aged so badly and for all the worst reasons.
@wIL Heath Ledger got so into the role of joker, for method acting sake, that he exposed himself to a lot of un-wellness for his mental being, and ended up dying in a manner that seems to have resulted from it. Dude literally poured his everything into it, and dammit if it doesn't show.
I love how ERB often kills it with their original interpretations of characters while still honouring past portrayals, another example would be wolverine
Mark Hamill himself liked the tweets for this ERB when it came out, I consider that a deal of approval for going with the style of the Mark Hamill Joker
I thought it was obvious they were going for the Mark Hamill voice, especially recognizable when he goes "I don't know how any joke could ever go over that head".
Joker's third verse was perfection. Everything from "Don't you lay a finger on my bat" to "a little more PG and a lot less thirteen" all the way to "We live in a society" was marvelous. One of my favorite overall verses ever.
I'm a massive, massive fan of basically every line Joker has in this. Bob Jane Bill Finger is a zinger, but one of my favorites is "when I compare your antics to the fiendish schemes I revel in, they pale like the moonlight you can dance with the devil in." A clear nod to Nicholson's Joker. That and "I'm a Shining man, wink". Of course I also love Pennywise's last verse, with the Cask of Amantillado, John Wayne of John Wayne Gaceys the underground clown posse, and best walleyed rapper since the Notorious B.I.G. All also staggeringly genius.
The line "You're supposed to be the man who laughs" is a reference to the 1928 silent film "The Man Who Laughs" which was the original inspiration for the joker, it tells the story of a boy named Gwynplaine and how he is disfigured with a permanent grin, he works as a sideshow, carnival freak and falls in love with a blind girl named Dea and is to become the pawn of royalty as a lord of England
Batman is Jokers obsession. His only reason to live. In many cases he mostly cared about tricking Batman than actually getting money or any other plan working.
@@nickirmen6671 To be fair, that part is common knowledge now. I'd have preferred a line like "I'm the MC who Laughs" , that would be more lore digging. (Hint: Dark Night Metal)
No doubt, was very good performance by Lloyd. I never really been into Batman and joker movies but (from what I’ve seen) the joker impression was pretty good as well!
@@undviik1702 In the batman animated series Red hood (movie), there was a second Robin that was beaten by a crowbar and then was blown up to death. He returns as red hood afterwards. Joker basically did just that. Edited since people wasn't aware of the animated series that was on CN.
@@LeonCamero It was a reference to “A death in the family” 4 part comic run. Where people could call a 800 number and tell DC comics if the wanted to kill Jason Todd or let him live. People overwhelming wanted him dead, so in the series Joker beat him nearly to death with a crowbar and then blew him up in a ware house. Not in the batman animated series, they just skipped over him and went to tim drake. Watch “Batman: under the red hood” if you want a better explanation.

Yeah and he would too - he doesnt have to wait 27 years to get his ass whupped by a group of kids, he just straight kills people when he feels like it.
@@jgburgos88 not quite, the meme was born from the "gamers rise up" (there's a whole subreddit about it, it's gold) by the way, in the movie joaquin also had a "rise up" moment by the end of the movie (car scene)
"You're supposed to be the man who laughs" SO SUBTLE IT TOOK ME 3 YEARS TO SPOT!!!! The Man Who Laughs is a Victor Hugo novel adapted to film in 1928, with a main character who has a huge permanent grin due to disfigurement. Bob Kane, Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson have all said that The Joker's appearance was inspired by a photo of Conrad Veidt (the lead actor) from that film, and the 2005 graphic novel Batman: The Man Who Laughs is named as an homage. I encourage you to Google the actor, the resemblance is spooky.
2:13 I can’t even explain how much I love this, the weird effect on the voice, the dance getting faster, the head seemingly being edited in, they’re all just so well done
This may honestly be the best ERB. Every element in this video is top notch: the costumes, the acting, the references, the digital effects, the track. I just can't stop watching it.
Yeah Joker sees himself more as a king of crime making chaos not torturing ethnicities to justify your actions. He is bad guy but this does not mean he is bad guy.
That's actually canon. Joker is so crazy that Scarecrow's fear gas doesn't work on him. In the comics, Scarecrow tries and then Joker beats him apparently to death with a dining room chair. While laughing, of course.

It's been 4+ years since this masterpiece dropped, and this is still my favorite. The makeup is just awesome, and this ERB shows off Peter and Lloyd both perfectly fitting and playing their parts, and loving every minute of it.
"Ask Robin if I drop bars
I take smiles and I leave scars"
A great line that was NAILED by Peter. I can't get over how cold the delivery of it is
That’s savage cause he Jason Todd because he hit him with crowbar like 27 times
I leave scars...guards (Bill Skarsgård- played Pennywise in IT) at Arkham will admit
🔥🔥
@@davidvallejo4556 That's freaking genius
God damn they nailed Joker's characterization, right down to him getting defensive over Batman.
Both of them nailed it. Pennywise sounds exactly like the films.
@@ransax True, but I'm especially impressed with how they portrayed joker. As soon as he said "don't you lay a finger on my bats" I immediately thought to myself "That is SO something the Joker would say!"
@@toysouldier1 right?! 😂
In his last scene he hold up the camera he used to take a photo of Barbara Gordon bleeding out after he shot her.
This is MK11 joker
Wait wait wait “I leave scars, Guards in Arkham” Scars guards Bill Skarsgard played Pennywise
That’s some insane wordplay
🤯
"I take smiles and I leave scars, ask Robin if I drop bars, guards at Arkham will admit that the Joker just killed IT"
I know right!! Knox Hill pointed that out when he reacted to this, it went way over my head though
bruh
Many a deep cut reference resides in this particular battle.
3:18 pennywise has insane flow fr
Joker getting upset about the Batman threat is so on point.
He embodies the idea “no one doesn’t get to kill you except me”
@Gabriel Gledhill what refrence is that?
You also forgot the heavy theory that Joker and Batman could actually be brothers. Considering how much he knows about Bruce and his whole family even claiming to have been there when his parents were killed. Also we know Joker has been to a mental hospital and depending on how old you are when witnessing something so terrifying you either have a foggy memory of it and only becomes clear when you let yourself remember or it scars you for life leaving you with a fucked up brain and you can never let it go. It’s possible the Joker saw what happened and it left him fucked up for life, which could explain why he was in an asylum for so long until he got the help of Harley. Poor Harley too considering she developed Stockholm syndrome from being with Joker even though there is no love. Harleen is being heavily abused simply because her clown prince of crime is fucked up. Wouldn’t surprise me if he ended being Batman’s brother in one of the movies they’ll likely make or remake.
@Gabriel Gledhill Seems legit too
Joker would never kill Batman. He has an unhealthy obsession with him and wants to spend his life annoying him. Almost like love.
@@shadamy4ever212 what…. How does that make any sense? Why would the waynes have kept a second child a secret? And Joker hasn’t lived in Arkham his whole life, he appeared soon after Batman.
This is really only a legit theory if you’re talking about the Joker movie, which is so far removed from the comics it’s ridiculous. It’s an ok movie don’t get me wrong, but it’s not Joker. At all. Like, it completely takes the point of his character and shoves it down the drain.
The idea of making Batman and Joker brothers is just dumb. Not to mention all the flirting and sexual innuendos he frequently taunts Batman with in the comics
My goodness Epic Lloyd’s Pennywise voice is phenomenal
"This is Earth you space demon. We live in a society!"
I love how the Joker of all people flipped that line to call Pennywise uncivilized.
Joker once said that he only kills when it would be funny, whereas Pennywise kills because he can. Having standards for killing is a pretty warped way of being civilized. Furthermore, he refuses to work with Nazis if he knows they're Nazis, and he pays his taxes on time, so, you know, there's that.
@@JoshuaRWorkman You have a point, my guy.
He's referencing the preteen gangbang scene in the IT novel, StePHen King's excuse for it was that he wrote it while on drugs.

" In My first appearance the bat was supposed to slay me, but I can't be killed that's why they cast a Phoenix to play me"
There are multiple reasons why that bar aged so badly and for all the worst reasons.
"No one's dying to play with Joker, except for maybe Heath Ledger"
Holy shit, they went there
Jamie Bridgeman Bruh
@Jamie Bridgeman Bruh
@wIL Heath Ledger got so into the role of joker, for method acting sake, that he exposed himself to a lot of un-wellness for his mental being, and ended up dying in a manner that seems to have resulted from it. Dude literally poured his everything into it, and dammit if it doesn't show.
@@YCCCm7 He died by overdosing on pills

Maybe. He’s a little short though. That could make for a fantastic joke.
The best part with the Joker's voice is it's not copying Mark Hamill's, but it sounds influenced by him while still being its own
I love how ERB often kills it with their original interpretations of characters while still honouring past portrayals, another example would be wolverine
Neh, he could've gone full Ham and no one would mind.
Mark Hamill himself liked the tweets for this ERB when it came out, I consider that a deal of approval for going with the style of the Mark Hamill Joker
I thought it was obvious they were going for the Mark Hamill voice, especially recognizable when he goes "I don't know how any joke could ever go over that head".
Heck I was wondering if it WAS Mark Hamill. Good job - that's what I enjoyed the most about this.
Joker's third verse was perfection. Everything from "Don't you lay a finger on my bat" to "a little more PG and a lot less thirteen" all the way to "We live in a society" was marvelous. One of my favorite overall verses ever.
I'm a massive, massive fan of basically every line Joker has in this. Bob Jane Bill Finger is a zinger, but one of my favorites is "when I compare your antics to the fiendish schemes I revel in, they pale like the moonlight you can dance with the devil in." A clear nod to Nicholson's Joker. That and "I'm a Shining man, wink".
Of course I also love Pennywise's last verse, with the Cask of Amantillado, John Wayne of John Wayne Gaceys the underground clown posse, and best walleyed rapper since the Notorious B.I.G. All also staggeringly genius.
Agreed
@@mechaCrusader17 one of my favorite verses in ERB if not just for the reference, wordplay, rhyme scheme all tying together so well
joker's from dc not marvel
@@razkanaz Marvelous. The word, marvelous. It's an actual word.
The line "You're supposed to be the man who laughs" is a reference to the 1928 silent film "The Man Who Laughs" which was the original inspiration for the joker, it tells the story of a boy named Gwynplaine and how he is disfigured with a permanent grin, he works as a sideshow, carnival freak and falls in love with a blind girl named Dea and is to become the pawn of royalty as a lord of England
Best part is joker getting pissed when he dared to threaten his Batman
Honestly there were so many "best parts" in this. This is one of the best battles they've done in a while.
The battle, yes. The video is distracting and seems kind of cheesy imo. It's really taking away from it.
seigeengine I feel like that’s part of the Joker in a lot of his adaptations. Cheesy works in my opinion.
@@seigeengine for me it complemented it, considering the style of the two characters. I love all the effort put in the background
seigeengine The visuals are easily the best part of this video, after the references. What is wrong with you?
I'm most impressed with how close he got to Mark Hamill's joker voice
Same here 👏
Bro, yes. Yes bro! His impression was amazing!
Studio 👏
And the pun on his name!
Are you deaf, nigga?
I love that Joker got pissed off and territorial when IT brought up Bats.
Ayyee death note lol
Bruce Wayne you mean penny wise
Batman is Jokers obsession. His only reason to live. In many cases he mostly cared about tricking Batman than actually getting money or any other plan working.
ƐlysᎥan Pennywise is just one manifestation of the eldritch being known as “IT”. Have you not read the book, or even watched the movie or miniseries?
Space Pirate Roberts Ok how can you expect someone to read a book that’s about as big as The New Testament?
"But those lines were like your new movie, mostly really sad" hits hard after the dismal performance of Folie a deux
“Ask robin if I drop bars” bruh don’t do that. That hurt me.
I swear that bar went over so many people's heads
It hurt Robin too.
Democracy spoke!
Jason has left the chat
The line came when i read your comment
Joker snapped when pennywise threatened bats. Thats a real homie right there
Lmao joker's the enemy we all need 🤣 "ay only I get to mess with bats"
Joker: "if anyone's going to kill that bitch it's going to be me."
Bruh sound effect
Don't forget the time he put a guy in a casket and tried killing him in a vat of acid for "killing" batman.
that’s the whole plot of lego batmam lbr
The shading and definition of Joker's facepaint and costume to give him a live-action comic book aesthetic is absolutely incredible
Yes. It's basically a live action comic Joker.
It also helps that he only blinks during laughs. A lot like Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
To this day the "When I flow I go Mark Ham with ill zingers" line is one of my favorite pieces of wordplay ever
Did they really make joker say "we live in a society?"

Loved that part
For those who dot get it. The Joker once bashed robins head in with crowbar.
@@nickirmen6671
To be fair, that part is common knowledge now.
I'd have preferred a line like "I'm the MC who Laughs" , that would be more lore digging. (Hint: Dark Night Metal)
Joker's bars were sick, but is nobody gonna talk about that Pennywise impression? Spot on!
That was a bomb impression is 😮
Absolutely unreal. You can still hear Lloyd when he curses but up until then I thought they'd got Bill Skarsgard to help out.
No doubt, was very good performance by Lloyd. I never really been into Batman and joker movies but (from what I’ve seen) the joker impression was pretty good as well!
It sounds like Scooby to me. Mostly because I haven't seen the movies.
Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal Lloyd is the superior impersonator, (I still love Peter!) this doesn’t surprise me at all.
I watch this at least once every two months. One of the best!!

The Man Who Laughs is a Victor Hugo novel adapted to film in 1928, with a main character who has a huge permanent grin due to disfigurement. Bob Kane, Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson have all said that The Joker's appearance was inspired by a photo of Conrad Veidt (the lead actor) from that film, and the 2005 graphic novel Batman: The Man Who Laughs is named as an homage. I encourage you to Google the actor, the resemblance is spooky.
Holy shit You are right oo''
That makes this line even more awesome.
And I was thinking Batman who laughs
And I was thinking Batman who laughs
I feel like every ERB has such tightly wound references that every line represents eight hours of research
2:13 I can’t even explain how much I love this, the weird effect on the voice, the dance getting faster, the head seemingly being edited in, they’re all just so well done
This may honestly be the best ERB. Every element in this video is top notch: the costumes, the acting, the references, the digital effects, the track. I just can't stop watching it.
We tends to portrays scary things very well I notice
This is in my top 5 but I wouldn't slight Mother Theresa vs Freud, Gordon Ramsay vs Julia Child, and MLK vs Gandhi.
Its also one of the few where both characters have three verses, I know DP v Boba Fett has it
This one and Roosevelt vs Churchill are two of the best, in my opinion!!
