You forgot about joker's most evil moment.When he handed batman an envelope, when batman opens the envelope he finds a coupon for new parents.....and it's expired!
This was a Joker joke!
Now, THATS funny!! AhahaHAHAHA!!!!
Right after Alfred gave birth to Robin
To be fair batman did fire a bat rocket at him.
@@robwright8949 just after Two-face flipped him and landed in his back, ouch!
i love how, among Joker's list of crimes, there's "improper labeling of meat products" and right after there's "cannibilism", then later there's "attempted omnicide" followed by "littering"
Don't forget all the ones about animal baiting
And bullying, including cyber bullying. And apparently regicide.
Involuntary manslaughter followed by voluntary manslaughter killed me 😂
@@konnorrockkonnoisseur4970 "Your honor, in all fairness that one was an accident. I had other plans for him."
"Rino-bating, failure to capture Rino" that one sent me and I could just imagine the day that was for Batman.
13:00 It's implied that Joker KNEW that Hugo was aware of his long track record of lying about his past, and that arrogant Strange would never believe him or fall for anything.
So Joker told him the whole truth, and laughed silently at Hugo denying it all
It's quite horrifying.
The idea all of this is true and maybe a part of Joker is reaching out for help but laughs knowing he'll never get it a sick *joke* .
Or that he's lying all of it is a lie, just another story or *joke* in a long line of them he tells to manipulate folk or just for his own amusement.
The extra indepth details being just being the classic liar trope or him constantly remembering the day.
never imply anything with the Joker... #1 mistake
@@dannylopez5976 the awnser is joker doesnt actually know he may lie about his past but even if he didnt lie he still couldnt givr a straight awnser.
Theres the possibility he was always like this. Which is just as likely as him being a man driven to craziness. However the truth is that there is no explanation for why he is the way that he is he just likes to think he is like batman and the difference is he admits he is crazy. When in reality he is unlike batman. They probably both went through tradgedy but it isnt one bad day that makes a person become evil its not even a week or a year its how a person responds to it.
An aspect lost on Batman is kind of The idea batman has moved forward from the trauma.
Trauma never goes away because its a feeling of being frozen in time and not moving forward. But batman is somebody who has learned to live with it and move forward even if he still feels frozrn.
But regardless the point still stands because bruce took his anger and need for justice to make a difference. The joker wont just admit he is the problem.
It doesnt matter if the monster was the man or if he was a man made monster by the point of him being the joker because he himself is unexplainable even to himself theres no way to pin why he creates chaos beyond why he enjoys it.
Heath ledger was a fantastic joker but he is more of an interpretation of joker because joker wouldnt flat out explain half of the heaths joker would.
Joker sees life as a joke and thats what makes him an agent of chaos he just simply sees it all as a joke to be made fun of. Where batman seee life as valuble and that all life no matter good or bad deserves to live.
Joker is the unexplainable chaos to batmans explainable justice.
Anyways point being jokers brillaince as a villain comes from the unexplained not the explained. Its why joker 2019 is implied to never of happened.
@@somedorkydude6483Joker 2019 is just a what if
@@reservoirfrogs2177 im aware joker 2019 is its own world but the film still implies it might not of happened
22:22 I don't think he's afraid of death. He's afraid of an ordinary death. He wants to go out in a blaze of glory that people will be talking about for generations, preferably at Batman's hands.
With his fear being forgotten that's probably true.
Kind of like Kraven from Spider-Man 2.
The arkhamsubreddits madness is truly unexplainable.
It's leaking 😱
Somewhat appropriate considering the character we’re talking about
Why? What exactly happens there?
@@Gadget-Walkmen chaos
What are they, stupid?
”You of all people should know… there’s plenty wrong with me!”
All the greatness of the animated Mark Hamill Joker without the limitations of a kids show.
what are you talking about btas was dark as fuck
@@jessicapinkman-hd4bw Not like 'shoot people in the head point blank while blood sprays out' dark lol. But yeah it was a gem of a show back then for being a bit more spicy than what we were used to :)
Too bad we won't get his Joker again with Kevin Conroy's passing.
@@jessicapinkman-hd4bwYes it’s a great show and has some very dark moments but it couldn’t get away with the stuff the arkham games could.
@@jessicapinkman-hd4bwIt was definitely dark and didn’t treat the audience like dummies but it wasn’t Arkham dark. The Arkham games in a way feel like the more adult sequel to the animated series. Which is pretty damn awesome.
Arkhamverse Joker is definitely an S-tier villain.
They say thanos only had 2 nightmares.
One of Madara Uchiha, and the other..... Was The Joker.
Pretty much every classic character in the Arkhamverse is just the pique of that character (except for bane, they did him dirty)
@@gIyph_and black mask
This mf was doing cannibalism which might be a stretch but knowing joker I believe it
@@gIyph_origins bane is peak however
Arkham Joker is easily the best depiction of the character in all of the media. From the design and personality alone, he is as funny as he is terrifying.
I agree and Conroy will always be Batman to me
@Warpded Absolutely, I'd wish they'd made another Alrham Origins around 3 or 4 years later. The universe, in general, is perfect. Every single character I can think of is as fathful to the comics as possible. It's ridiculous how perfect this Batman Universe is.
@@edge1247 Conroy is dead, tragically. It wouldn't be the same. Hell, I liked Arkham Knight so much that I got the 240% completion. If they do ever release a new one it would have to be insanely good.
@edge1247 I still prefer the Joker from Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth...
Mark Hamill's Joker is the best one indeed
It's amazing how they got Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill back from the iconic 90's kid show to play again their iconic characters for these dark mature games. What a way to symbolize the growth we the fans got
I mean wasn't the 90s show pretty dark
@@lightdarksoul2097
It had its dark undertones, but it was still pretty family-friendly
Tbf, family friendly doesnt instantly equal kids show.
Like yeah a kid CAN watch it but it's not JUST for kids.
I mean let’s be real Kevin Conroy wasn’t doing much outside of voicing batman so it’s not like he was too busy to do the role
It's almost like a semi-realistic take on the same universe except with one of those Ren & Stimpy 'gross ups'.
And don't forget Arleen Sorkin (Harley Quinn) for the first game. Tara Strong took over after that game but they did get her to carry over from the cartoon as well.
Troy Baker's portrayal of a young Joker in Arkham Origins is severely underrated, IMO
Honestly yeah he does a really great hamill impression while still making the joker a bit of his own
He is one of the best…
Troy got to play a Joker and a Batman
I would love to see Troy do one of the hardest things a VA can do, which is to have an argument with himself. playing as both Joker and Batman.
Playing through Arkham Origins for the first time and God damn, it's fantastic.
Arkham joker canonically committed some of the worst atrocities of any joker, according to the city stories and his hallucination dialogue in Arkham Knight
Yeah, like improper labeling of meat.
like littering!
@@Thepenarmy01I mean it wasn't the good meat
Well he mixed acid into holy water which considering that gotham have catharal which mean a catholic population which mean baby batising which mean a death of baby being poured acid on them. Turning a sacred ritual tradition and a sacred places of safety into nightmare fuel horror show.
Yep.
Giving toxins to people straight to people's blood streams via doses of his blood is so weird, sadistic and unsanitary there probably isn't a classification for such a thing. He invented a new crime. It's so absurd, I'm laughing while writing this and so shouldn't.
After growing up watching the animated series, it was awesome to play Asylum in 2009 and hear The Joker saying “bitch”, “damn”, and “hell”. It’s like they grew up with me
I don’t remember him saying bitch, when was that?
@@eddiediaz5518 Oh man, I couldn’t tell you. If not in Asylum then it may have been Arkham City
@@howdy_dave He says “I’M BACK BITCHES” at one point in Assault on Arkham.
Yup, swearing is clearly a sign of maturity 🙃
"That's actually pretty funny" Some of the most impactful last words ever!. Like you said Vile, the Joker could truly find humour in everything, including the irony that Batman would have truly saved him if he hadnt attacked him despiste all that he's done.
For a bonus, the Joker’s last words in the DCAU (a separate continuity, but still voiced by Mark Hamill and written by Paul Dini) are “That’s not funny!”
*that actually is, pretty funny
In my opinion, he already knows that.
@@gelchert That's not funny at all!...
In the french version he says "c'est a mourir de rire" which can be traduct by "it's to die of laughter," which is a very common expression to say that something is very funny. And then he dies. Much more fitting and impacting to me
“I just wanted to bring down your grim facade for once and let you see the world as I see it. Giggling in a corner and bleeding”
“But you’ve denied me even that. I have nothing to live for.”
The Joker is the perfect example, in my opinion, of how a seemingly simple character can be suprisingly multifaceted and versatile
I love how The Joker's insanity and twisted nature makes it impossible to tell if he's completely full of BS, if his various backstories have any hint of truth or if even he himself can't separate fact from fiction anymore.
Hell, even Batman being involved in his Killing Joke backstory could be a detail he added retroactively, reflecting how deeply he views his "soulmate".
And, yeah, even though we like to meme on his and Batman's relationship being a twisted "love story" , that IS a valid interpretation.
The Joker wants the world to burn while he dances in the spotlight, with the only dance partner he'd ever accept being the only person he considers his friend, his opposite, the only one he sees being as twisted as he is.
He’s proof that in the hands of a good writer even a purely evil villain doesn’t have to be generic and boring. In fact I think he works best as a monster. I don’t Like how joker has become the “we live in a society” guy almost like he’s some anti authoritarian anti hero. No joker should only be focused on trolling Batman and having fun at Gotham’s expense.
The *only* other person who knows the steps to this beautiful Danse Macabre!
Judging by four actors playing him live all have had different emphasis dictated by tone of their stories. Cesar Romero was silly fool in show that was deliberately silly. Jack Nicholson was gimmicky gangster in anachronistic film noir-setting. Heath Ledger was anarchist terrorist going against Order represented by Batman and before that he already targeted organized crime of Gotham as well. Joaquin Phoenix made Joker a cult leader capable of bringing out worst impulses from people.
They all are Joker viewed from different angle. In my view Joker should always be a mystery. Who he was is not important even if viewer knows it. He is also very unpredictable as he might reappear only to vandalize schoolgirl uniforms with stylized graffiti of his face or he might reappear in audience of live comedy show and gun down comedians as light form of heckling.
This is the tragic love story Batman movie we need as a society.
"MAN"
I've watched the intro enough times to almost match the whole 50 minute run time. Makes me laugh every time.
I think Hugo's conclusion and yours were pretty spot on. The fact that the Joker only got defensive at two points in their interview should be highlighted: 1) Hugo telling him that fearing death is common, and implying something about the Joker could actually be common 2) Catching him in a potential lie regarding his 12 different backstories. I think this proves that the Joker is nowhere near as tragic a character or actually as crazy as he tries to come off as. Jason Todd as the Red Hood in the original Under the Red Hood comic actually argued this before as well. I think Joker was just some dude who was indeed down on his luck and MAYBE some bad stuff happened to him. But I don't think it was as dramatic or unique as his backstories try to make out. He likely made up those stories to garner some form of attention for himself and to make him feel as though his suffering was not "common." He dearly wants attention and for the world/Batman to pay attention to him, and so he dresses super garishly and does horrible things not because he is actually that mentally ill, but because he wants to feel like his pain is especially important and essentially justifies his horrid actions.
While I wasn’t the biggest fan of Tim Burton’s _Batman_ giving the Joker a definitive origin, depicting him as already being a sociopathic killer before his accident was a smart move. All falling into a vat of chemicals and going insane really did to Jack Napier was free him up to be much more creative in his cruelty.
@@gelchert haven’t seen that but I definitely appreciate the angle the film took
@@gelchertI think this makes a ton of sense… I do think something traumatic happened to the Joker at some point and he broke bad, Joker is super intelligent, hence he can make up believable origin stories like nothing, but I do think something really tragic happened and Joker lost it and became Batman’s biggest and most dangerous foe (who would leave Batman alive but kill Alfred for the fun of it)
So essentially, he’s kind of like jack Torrance from the shining
it'd also explain why the Joker is kind of frustrated and amused with Batman, cus Bruce did have a horrible day when his parents were killed, because he can be a playboy millionaire and philanthrope getting all the attention in the world. Because despite how intelligent, powerful and smart Batman is, he choses to be a vigilante of few words, acting when and where nobody can see him, because he wants no attention or fame and because the Joker knows better the real Bruce is Batman, not his playboy persona.
Mark hamill absolutely KILLED it as the Joker! He's amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
*Mark
There have been great performances as joker! Ceaser, Jack and of course Heath! But Mark Hamil IS THE JOKER!!! He is my favorite villain, and in my opinion is one of if not the greatest villain, no matter the medium! The animated series is one if the best cartoons and Hamil kills it.But it's not just that, whenever I read the comics, or think about the joker he has Hamils voice. If you haven't seen Mask of the phantasm do yourself a favor and watch it! It is surprisingly adult( let's be honest the series was too) it allowed Hamil to go darker, and he kills it. Then after the Arkham series sealed it for me! Sorry for lengrh, nerded out about the Joker, I mean Mark Hamil
I would make the argument that he's more famous now for being Joker's voice actor than he is for being Luke Skywalker. Despite the fact that I'm sure a ton of people still don't know it's the same person.
@@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control Absolutely! Couldn't agree more.
Such a shame that will never get to see him play the role in live action, especially considering how I could totally see him pulling it off.
The thing I remember about this version of the Joker was how he wanted to bring Batman down to his level.
At the end of the first Arkham game, he tries to turn Batman into another rampaging monster, with a helicopter camera showing their fight to the entire city of Gotham. He wanted to turn Batman into a monster just like him, and then put him on display to completely destroy Batman's reputation as Gotham's beloved protector. But when Batman cures himself and ruins his plan, the Joker completely loses interest in the fight and spends most of the time posing for the cameras, while leaving his goons to deal with Batman.
You should cover the Scarecrow from the Arkham series. He is probably the second most evil character in the Arkham series, because he is sadistic, egotistical, a mad scientist trying to become a god of fear. He was also very close to breaking Batman then the Joker ever had.
scarcrow professor pyg and the joker are probably the most evil batman villains in the games
Plus, Scarecrow managed to exposed Batman's identity in public.
@@tunebeat3809 Bruce did that on purpose
More Evil then Joker
@@MistahJay7Scarecrow pushed him to do so though. Without scarecrow and his evil plan = batman not taking his mask off
Arkham Joker is THE best version of The Joker ever. He’s funny, sadistic, unpredictable, evil, cunning, and just down right scary at times. He’s the Joker from the comics brought to life.
Until you play Knight and it's revealed Joker's motivation all along was just to be remembered, recontextualizing all his crimes as a desperate desire for fame. Super lame.
@@HOTD108_ It makes sense/aligns with Joker’’s character. Think about it, Joker committed the most vile, disgusting, and evil crimes in all of human history, terrorized the citizens of Gotham for decades, filled entire graveyards, yet none of that matters because he’ll just be a bad memory. A relic of the past. Joker’s always loved being in the limelight, loved being feared, so again the notion that he’ll end up being forgotten is terrifying to him.
@@HOTD108_bad take
“Sometimes I remember it one way. Sometimes I remember it another way. If I’m going to have a past, I’d rather have it multiple choice.” -The Joker
Mark Hamill is a treasure.
THANK YOU for pointing out that Batman is delivering all these maniacs into the hands of a justice system that could execute them! Thank you! Everyone always forgets that and it's so annoying!
Most people spend over a decade on death row, Gotham villains would've escaped way before then. I think a more realistic version would be villains dying at the hands of some random civilian who was tired of their reign over gotham.
@@cybercore1629 That or gunned down 'escaping' custody. It is long established that much of the Gotham PD is corrupt, and you cannot tell me that a corrupt cop wouldn't just straight up execute the Joker and then call it in as a suicide or any number of other things.
@@MagicalMaster There’s an excellent Batman fan film from last year called _Gordon_ that takes that idea and runs with it. (Bonus points for getting Mark Meer, AKA Commander Shepard, to play the Joker.)
Analyzing Evil: General Shepherd from Modern Warfare 2
Gotta throw in Vladimir Makarov as well.
Eh, i mean I guess he was a character? CoD didn’t really TRY to make deep characters even when it was good. This isn’t Metal Gear or Yakuza or even Halo. Those games are about narrative and characters. CoD was always about the action, the experience. It never went all-in on what war does to a person like Metal Gear or Spec Ops: The Line did.
@@2yoyoyo1Unplugged On the surface sure, but both MW and MW2 and to a lesser extent MW3 (Classics) despite its crazy OTT action did paint Shepard as having a strong motivation for his actions from his loss of the men in the nuke in MW, along side the sub plots of how the CIA fully supported the killings of no russian just to get makarovs trust and how russia despite knowing what happened at the airport and how it was all down to makarov, went along with the war anyway as thier people demanded blood. Its shows that its hillariously an anti war game that masquerades as a straight shooting Hoo rah romp.
The undertones of MW is that the world is a savage place, ready at any point to start killing each other no matter the reason or the cost, Lies spread like wildfire and people will easily demand the head of people they dont even know for reasons they dont understand. The opening line of 3 wasnt just there for cool factor "All warfare is based on deception and all it takes is a will of a single man".
I think with the context of the unverse in mind, shepard could make an intresting video if done right.
The simple fact all of your videos are so straight, makes the whole first minute absolutely hilarious. NGL I don't know how well it would hold up jokes long term, with your format, but right now it was 10/10
Especially as he gradually slips into the trademark Vile Eye voice.
tbf this is a jonkler video so it's only fitting to include jokes in it
yeah a big part is the tone these videos set, it was a good joke but let's keep it og
I love that, honoring Kevin Conroy at the end was great.
Mark Hamill’s Joker is my favorite adaptation of the character, he embodies Joker so well and to think Hamill and Conroy went from the 90s cartoons to these amazing games is a testament to how perfect this pair played the roles of Batman and The Joker, RIP Kevin Conroy
Guys, I think he's evil
a little bit of a stretch but ok
When Alan Moore wrote _The Killing Joke_ it wasn't meant to be a definitive Joker origin story, hence the line about him remembering his past differently because he doesn't actually know much about his own past and therefore goes with whatever fabrication he chooses to make up on any given day. DC, however, liked the story enough to make it canon, especially given that it basically removed Barbara Gordon from the _Batman_ titles (a mistake that was later rectified by turning her into Oracle, which allowed the character to come into her own). A version of that origin story made it into the 1989 _Batman_ film by Tim Burton, which was then used as the basis for the Joker in _Batman: The Animated Series_ for the duration of its run. Other variations, such as in _Batman: Under the Red Hood_ have him tripping on his own cape and falling into the chemicals that dyed his hair permanently green and bleached his skin white.
It's interesting how one story meant as a one-off taking place in a pocket continuity intended to be separate from the main Batman mythos ended up becoming such a definitive tale exploring the history of one of comics' most iconic villains.
MAN, thank u for analyzing Jonkler, he is the best antagonist in HAM Aslume.
Man i loved watching the jonkler get analized
the arkham games imo is the best exploration and depictions of batman and joker's relationship. better than any movie, show, cartoon, or even comics
This is by far one of the best version of Joker.
This is by far -one of- the best versions of Joker.
Fixed it for you :)
@@gIyph_ Arkham games in general are the perfect interpretation of Batman for me. Everything from The Batman, the villains, the mythos, atmosphere... Spot on. It's really sad that instead of continuation of the Batman lore we got this Sucide Squad game...
@@stefanmladenovic5583 i wouldve been sooooo fucking hyped to see an arkham style justice league game, where each hero has a similarly complex and varied playstyle as batman had in knight that you couls switch between freely, with braniac as the villain still even
@@gIyph_ Right? I would be satisfied with just one hero, like a superman game, or the wonder woman game that's coming out. But yeah if they somehow managed to make a justice league game that would have been amazing! Why oh why have they decided to go in this direction instead... I mean a Suicide squad game is a great idea, but not like this...
those Arkham City tapes are legendary joker content
0:06 I literally screamed-
Is there a lore reason you screamed? Were you scared?
I believe this incarnation of the Joker to be a contender for the most evil villain in all of fiction, in the top five at least.
You did a fine job illustrating his evil, including a few things I wasn't aware of. There are a few things I think should be addressed though:
1. After defeating Ra's Al Ghul, Barbara tells Batman that Joker's blood could be in as many as 2000 people by morning. I don't believe for a second that Batman and Gordon managed to save all but five. How could they possibly?
2. In Arkham Knight Genesis, Joker captures Jason after causing an explosion that seperates them from Batman, so I guess it's an alternate canon the the City Stories entry in the game.
Yeah, they retconned how Joker's blood worked in Arkham Knight. In Arkham City, it was just a deadly poison that was caused by the TITAN chemicals mixing with the ACE chemicals in his bloodstream. It became so bad that anyone who was infected would be dead in less than 12 hours. In Arkham Knight, it became a mutated prion infection, specifically a form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and started turning people into Joker knockoffs. Keep in mind that these people should've already been dead because they still had TITAN in their system. Also, I don't know why Batman bothered trying since Mr. Freeze made it clear that manufacturing the cure wasn't the problem. It was the cure breaking down before it did its job that was the issue.
One of my favorite incarnations of the Joker! Especially in origins where he's not afraid to die and wants to break the Bat's moral code.
I say hands down the best version closest to the comics brought to media. He's a monster that is also hilarious. No other Joker can make me laugh and be horrified like Mark Hamills
It's the Canon version of the Joker to me
@@MistahJay7 couldnt agree more! 🃏
The intro reference to the Aslume was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one :)
Kingpin from the daredevil series would be a great villan to cover
Been requesting a video on Fisk for well over two years now.
Kingpin from Daredevil and Jigsaw/Billy Russo from Punisher
@@LedZedd Ooooo Billy would be a great pick for this series as well.
"Let me show you what three hundred pounds of FAT are capable of..."
The Arkham series has many interesting villains that would be perfect for this channel. Bane, Hugo Strange, The Penguin, The Riddler and Scarecrow are all incredibly evil yet complex villains that would be extremely interesting to analyse.
I'm not too sure about bane, we don't actually get too much of his backstory or motivations in the game past being an addict, even in origins we know he wants to break the bat but it's never actually explained why or what grudge he has against batman
One of the best parts of Arkham Knight is when you realize the hallucinations Bruce is experiencing of the joker is a sign of Joker's blood slowly changing his psyche. Ofcourse there is also Bruce's complexion slowly becoming more pallid with the bloody red lips. And then you notice the criminals in the city and the Arkham soldiers talking about how "Batmans getting more violent" "He's not holding back like he used to" and "He has that scary fricken tank now" showing us that Batman was very slowly losing his grip on his steadfast morals of not killing people.
That was almost. Almost, One of the Joker's greatest and most evil accomplishments. The corruption of Bruce Wayne, and Batman before their own eyes.
Mark Hamil did a amazing job in these games. His version of the Joker is probably my favorite version of the character. A fantastic villain in a fantastic series!
14:42 Officer Balls

11:40 Strange was spot on about Joker. He knows his past full well but hides it so it can't be used against him.
This is Mark Hamil's Most Excellent Performance!
What a Great Voice!
He really let it all hang out, here
A full hour just on joker?! Yes please
Your audio/voice input was on point this time brother. Proud to have watched your progress since the early days; can’t believe you’ve done so many of these reviews!
Analyzing Evil suggestions:
* Catherine and the People Behind the Nightmares (Catherine)
* The Characters and Themes of Persona 5
* Lotso Huggin' Bear (Toy Story)
To be honest, Vincent is more a villain than Catherine. If you don't cheat, you should be more than fine.
@@Emma-Queenofhell Still, Catherine and the others are outright scheming demons or gods who have no problem dooming innocent but misguided individuals in the Nightmares and I think exploring their motives, personalities, and stories would be very interesting.
One of if not the greatest series of batman or superhero games period. Grateful for everyone work (especially mark and kevin)
These games were lightning a bottle. Everything was perfect, the studio, Paul Dini, and the incredible cast!! I will never forget these games
peak arkham subreddit reference
Thank you. Mark Hamill is an outstanding Joker.
I feel both the Joker and Batman demonstrate the long term effects of a fictional form of extreme PTSD. Bruce Wayne due to seeing his parents murdered, was traumatized by directly seeing his parents dying. Thus, to cope with his PTSD he devoted himself to the point of insanity in protecting others.
Conversely, the Joker is man who essentially dies and is reborn due to chemical exposure. The Joker lost his previous life and can never go back to being his original self. Yet he remembers his past, and the joys that he had in said previous life. Unfortunately, the Joker due to madness from PTSD and chemical exposure, constantly seeks joy, joy that comes at a cost to others.
Excellent Villain analysis as always .

The three Jokers in this story are referred to by simple titles:
The Criminal, the pragmatic, philosophical, surprisingly serious Joker from the Golden Age, who is the most methodical of the trio and is initially implied to be their leader. Claiming that laughing actually hurts him, his personality and demeanor are reminiscent of the Joker's earliest comic book appearances. His ultimate plan is to transform Joe Chill into 'a better Joker' worthy of being Batman's arch-nemesis, given that Chill's act of murdering Bruce Wayne's parents caused the most pain in Batman's life.
The Clown, the campy, colorful, goofy prankster Joker from the Silver Age, who is the most anarchistic of the trio. He is implied to be the Joker responsible for bludgeoning and killing Jason Todd in Batman: A Death in the Family. He has a sidekick named Gagsworth A. Gagsworthy, and uses elaborate pranks in his crimes with the simple goal of causing chaos.
The Comedian, the depraved, demented, sadistic psychopath Joker from the Bronze and Modern Age, who is the most cunning and evil of the trio. He is the Joker who shot and paralyzed Barbara Gordon in Batman: The Killing Joke. Behind his warped sense of humor and eerie smile, he is a malicious monster who feels nothing but spite for what he sees as a cruel, irredeemable world. He is implied to be the original Joker, and orchestrates a series of events that allow him to replace Joe Chill as Batman's greatest pain.
Let Mark Hamil and Kevin Conroy be remembered as the greatest acting duo in DC history
The whole crime with the kindergarten class is so genuinely fucked up, easily one of the most sick and cruel versions of the Joker by far
I've always found the joker very interesting because when you do enough research to the meaning and definition of humour as Proceed by our human minds As such Like almost all humor have some bases in tragedy Or negative experiences it is interesting to see humour on a more darker perspective. also, I'm very glad that you mentioned and talked about Him as we saw him in arkham night
It's a tragic, and a damn shame that Mark Hamill retired from voicing Joker since his partner-in-crime, and his best of pals Arleen Sorkin, and Kevin Conroy isn't with him.
The Jonkler from Arkham Aslume was the best
P.S Please make a video on Kazuya Mishima
Other Characters from The Arkhamverse u should do:
1. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow
2. Jason Todd (Robin/Arkham Knight/Red Hood)
3. Ra's Al Ghul
4. Quincy Sharp
5. Roman Sionis/Black Mask
6. Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin
7. Hugo Strange
8. Waylon Jones/Killer Croc
I would add Harley Quinn on the list too she's as equally as evil as Joker though maybe a little less also she's one of the most pure evil versions of the character
Another video game version I really like is from the telltale Batman games. They had such a unique take on the character, would he cool to see that version looked over in the future!
This is probably my favorite iteration of the Joker!
Jason Todd is right about Joker.
One might be able to redeem Dent or Nigma, but not him.
The Joker being alive only guarantees more innocent deaths.
Turned 29 last Thursday. I'll consider this my birthday gift for me from you. I'll miss Mark Hamill's Joker and Kevin Conroy's Batman. Everytime I read Batman's and Joker's speech or thought bubbles, I hear Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill respectively in my head. Using clips of their voices to keep it fresh in my head as I read. R.I.P. Kevin Conroy, the true definitive voice of Batman, the Caped Crusader, Gotham's Silent Guardian, The Dark Knight.
I'd request an analysis on Sosuke Aizen from Bleach
I loved the Arkham Reddit memes throughout the video. And thank you so much for review this version of Joker. He's like my favorite Joker out of all the adaptations of Batman out there.
Yesss. My favorite Joker. Glad to see he's being talked about.
For all the jokers faults the joker does have a line he can’t cross
He does not commit tax evasion
That Hugo Strange interview is chilling.

I'd be kinda curious to see that
THE VILE EYE!!! Man seeing your posts is like a new movie coming out!!! I love them all. Your deep dives on characters are incredible and the work you put in really shows. I really hope you’re doing good dawg. Been watching for a whileeeeee and will continue to watch. Thank you for this content you are truly an incredible enigma in the UA-cam community and scene as a whole.
14:43 Officer Balls!
WAHAHA!
He's one of the most iconic villains of all time. My only knowledge of this iteration is from the Arkahm games, including Origins. He was written and acted so perfectly. Great video!
I knew that you had to analyze another Joker at some point! I just knew it! And the fact that you chose one of the greatest portrayals of him, by the greatest actor to play him, is just too perfect!
HE SAID THE LINE, HE SAID JONKLER!!!
Officer Balls.
I hope you actually do an episode with Magento from the Xmen movies next
I swear I love this channel this guy is like the FBI when it comes to fictional characters and there back story 🤣🔥🔥🔥
That background is perfect for the video vile! You're the Best. And just finished a marathon of the Arkham games! Perfect timing as always! 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
My favorite adaptation of joker. Also love the editing man😂
I'm interested if the Evil Exes from the Scott Pilgrim franchise will ever be covered. It would make for quite the different episode especially after Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
Joker is lucky he lives Batman’s city and not Punisher’s city.
Punisher is mcu not dc
It's amazing the amount of acting these voice actors do with just speech
I'm enjoying the new setup a lot. Also, please do Randall Flagg!
0:07 Joker's so evil that he decided to troll the Vile Eye! 🃏🤡
He's pure evil mosnter.
Monster villain like that jerk evil Zemo.
I didn’t know about the kindergartner thing so I’m gonna replay Arkham Origins, Asylum & City just so I can go extra in on whooping that fool again
The Vile Eye saving us with some good Arkham Joker content from the recent joker fraud shown in suicide squad
Can’t think of a UA-camr more deserving of a fancy chair

12:35 -I love that "Thank you" XD
I'd argue Joker is more afraid of death than people think. He puts himself in these dangerous situations while fighting Batman because he's confident he'll survive. But the moment Joker's life is actually in danger, he scrambles to save himself.
Joker wants to be seen as this larger than life personality, the personification of chaos, but in reality he's just a man afraid of being forgotten.
So in other words, me ? But instead of chaos, I want to be creativity.
@@JabamiLaingoofy ahh comment please delete it. Cringe as hell omg i‘m dying
One of the best and evil versions of the joker and One of my favorite villains in videogame ever. The Arkham series was iconic also because of the Joker. Thank you for making a video of the villain of One of the best videogame series of all time
42:22 it wasn’t just jokers blood that made Batman hallucinate the joker, it was scarecrows fear toxin and Batman’s fear of turning into the joker that did it. It’s why joker shows up in the factory where Batman is first exposed to the gas
Man, you’ve come a long way. I just wanna say congrats because I’ve been watching these videos for a couple years now and I appreciate the work that goes into them. Phenomenal.
