"On the take" means taking bribes. And his "bending the rules" means he does a lot of police brutality
Or ignores procedure
He goes to the line but he doesn't cross it.
Has there actually been any moments of police brutality? I don't think there's ever really been people he's beaten up that haven't attacked first.
@@MrChava54 In Pretty Poison he was brutal to the waiter he suspected of poisoning Harvey Dent. But it's true this show can't show Bullock being much more violent than that.
@@WhiteFangofWar Haha! My brother and I quote that all the time!
"STRYCHNINE?!"
"No, no strychnine. But I add just a pinch of vinegar."
Harvey Bullock was always one of the most underrated Batman characters as the man despite looking like a crooked cop never was one and subverted the expectations of the audience despite how much he doesn't agree with Batman or his methods. I greatly respect the character and how much he sticks by Gordan and stands by his intuition, even when he tends to break the rules a bit. The Batman Animated Series and the live-action FOX show Gotham had my favourite takes on the character of Harvey Bullock
"The detective who looks like an unmade bed" is my favorite Alfred line ever.
Bullock is a lot of things but he's not a backstabber
If you want more of Bullock, there is a TV show called Gotham. Its a prequel about Gordon and Bullock in the gcpd before Batman.
Its one of my favorite shows, its sort like Telltales in that os its own take on things, but is very fun!
Harvey Bullock was created by writer Doug Moench and artist Don Newton in 1983 and the story "A Bullet for Bullock" was adapted from the comic-book story of the same name.
Actually, it says in the DC wiki page that he actually debuted an issue in the 70s.
@@user-du2iu8zz7k There was a Lieutenant Bullock introduced in 1974 but he seems to have been a different, unrelated character (who only appeared that one time). Don't believe everything you read on a wiki page.
On The Take is slang for being bribed by whomever, ergo Batman is implying that Bullock is a corrupt cop.
On the take does in fact mean taking bribes
Fun fact: the music of this episode actually won an Emmy.
This show should be played forever. On every kids channel, just one episode a day during prime hours. This was easily the most brilliant animated series of the 1990s. I think people need this show in their lives.
This is a rarity in BTAS in that it's actually based on a specific comic issue. Detective Comics 651. :)
Yes, and this aired only 3 years after the comic book was published, making it the most recent story to be adapted for BTAS. For comparison, The Laughing Fish and Demon's Quest episodes were adapted from comics from the 1970s.
@@Rocket1377Yep. It's a strange choice too. As the others you mentioned feature iconic villains whereas this is a silly and fun lil story about Bullock. I'm glad it exists though. :)
By bending the rules, hè means he does a lot of the same kinds of things as Batman does, that police aren't legally allowed to do.
Now this is a great episode, I bet you didn’t know this, but this episode won a daytime Emmy award back when it aired for outstanding music Plus, this is also a scene for scene adaptation of a comic with the same plot and name in the 90s.
By the way, Bullock's voice actor is the same as Joe Barbaro in Mafia 2
and Joey's dad in Friends. :P
YOOOO
I would say Bullock is not 100% like Commisioner Gordon and sometimes bend the rules, but he's not a crooked, dirty cop. I wouldn't worry about his apartment, he could easily clean it up, but he's a lazy slob. Like me ;P Though I wouldn't leave it dirty enough to attract cockroaches!
Also, I freaking love Bullock's voice actor Robert Costanzo, who has also been in movies such as Die Hard 2 and Total Recall. And he played Joey Tribbiani's dad in Friends and its spin off Joey.
Harvey Bullock was my favorite Batman supporting character
he wasn't really a likeable person but he was still a good guy
both on the animated series and in the comic books as well
Thanks for watching this episode take care Meg and Caleb.

Ok just one more episode and then The New Batman Adventures!
On the take means accepting bribes.
As for bending the rules… I mean, the way Bullock is portrayed in the show, we are invited to believe it’s typical law and order stuff - threatening to hound smalltime crooks to get information more quickly, the old “I think I heard someone cry for help from your apartment. I might have to kick the door in and toss the place … unless you know where Tony Two-Thumbs is.” And maybe a Bullock version of the tough-guy tactics Batman uses.
In BTAS, Bullock is a fundamentally good man who sometimes gets in over his head with the way he skirts the law to get the job done. He’s outraged that Batman does openly and blatantly what he has to clandestinely and quietly. But when pushed to the edge, Bullock knows that Gotham isn’t a typical city with typical crime - it can’t be protected with typical methods alone. He’s a natural Batman ally; a classic hard boiled detective walking the mean streets of Gotham the way he had to before the Batman/Gordon duo came along to try to keep the police force clean and uncorrupted by allowing a vigilante to do all the extra-legal line blurring.
Bullock’s been portrayed in comics variously as a flat out corrupt cop, all the way to this slob with a heart of gold. In the TV show Gotham, he’s the older, wiser, sketchier cop that gets assigned as Gordon’s partner to show the new guy how things work in Gotham. It’s the role Flass plays in Year One, though Bullock is usually portrayed as making the compromises he needs to to get any justice at all, and Flass is always a flat out, corrupt as hell, cynical scumbag cop.
Thanks for the video Meg! :)
This one has always been one of my all time favorites! Thank you for watching it with us!
Nice reaction Batman the animated series is one of my favorites also I subscribed to your channel👍
Great episode, the show fully embracing the noir aesthetic as Bullock and Bats team up for a whodunnit. Kind of sad when Montoya tries to cheer Bullock up, but it might be him trying to push everyone away so the mob kings can't control him by threatening those he loves.
This episode has the best music in the whole series. It really does capture the film noir tone this episode was going for, and who better fits a film noir story than Harvey Bullock? The man is the epitome of an anti-hero, which is what every good film noir story needs.
Btw, “on the take” means taking illegal money from criminal organizations. Bribe money, basically.
"Harvey Bullock"
As mentioned, "on the take" means that he might be taking bribes and "bending the rules" means he sometimes dispenses his own justice (not reporting some stuff or taking on his hands some personal punishments).
While that sounds very wrong (and it is), Harvey Bullock is a character designed around the "hard boiled detective" trope: a person that has been on the streets for so much time, he works and lives under the laws there are on the streets, not the rules politicians and law abiding citizens know from the books. In the comics Bullock knows the underworld, he cashes and owes favors to different criminal elements of the city, he knows some dirty stuff no respectable cop should know (and he took a lot of shortcuts in the pre-Batman era to solve some cases that would have slipped through the cracks).
But he has proven he believes in James Gordon's view of what the GCPD should be, he has backed up and saved Gordon in different adventures and (while at odds with Batman for their different views on how handled some things), he has proven to be an unlikely ally in different problems. Bullock is a representation of Gotham cops that made their own peace with the things they would need to do to survive in the job (in hopes that, maybe, they could make some difference, from time to time).
His character is more elaborated in the TV series "Gotham" (as he appears as a partner of detective James Gordon).
Nice reaction, and see you in the next one.
3:04 😂 Alfred Is awesome
10:25 Bullock's face 😂😂😂
A landlord lol
This is one of my favorite episodes bullock and Batman have good chemistry
Harvey Bullock is a great example of ‘Great character. Terrible person’. Love watching him, but I would hate him in real life lol.
Hi Meg hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Bullock in the TV series Gotham is a lot like this.
Bullocks "bending the rules" involves phrases such as "excessive force" and "without a warrant", but he does not take bribes. If you've seen/read Harry Potter, Bullock is akin to Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody.
" On the Take" means yes taking a bribe of some sort "Bending the rules" means well just that i.e. maybe some not so nice interrogation ( like what Batman does) wiretapping etc. i.e. not ethical means. But yeah very underrated episode when I first saw the episode I didn't see the twist ending coming
hi Meg
If you haven't already, I highly suggest watching Sins of the father before Holiday knights
You really gotta react to “Gotham”! It’s so good!
This like 40 to 40 flam nori and sharky look Lee Marvin he was in few of them
See the movie "Joe's Apartmen" if you want to talk about dirty NY apartments
If you take away Bullock’s unappealing personal habits and his badge, you’re basically left with a poor-man’s Batman.
Yeah Bullock may be an insufferable arrogant blowhard but end of the day he is a good cop he wouldn’t be Gordon’s number two if he wasn’t. Despite his hostility to Batman he does want to keep Gotham safe even if he doesn’t agree with the dark knight.
Yeah you tend to lead a lonely life when you have no people skills they pretty much go hand in hand
🥶episode
So im confused, in batman tas ehy is harvey anxious or hesitant to include internal affairs? I inow in the comics it can include his past, brines, roughing up or violence wirh arrests but in this ep we clearly see Bullock isnt raking brines or at least not spending the $ on his apartment or interior design. He isn't overly violent since he showed constraint and dury above revenge mentality with vinny. My head canon when i saw the ep was internal affairs was corrupt and he couldn't trust them since I assume gotham is so corrupt but seeing megs reaction thats not implied enough in this ep. So within this ep why didnt bullock include internal affairs? He is just a ride person who finds or makes up charges to get people?
