Mark Hamill is the greatest Joker of all time, change our minds...
One: Speak up and join the conversation- we encourage respectful debate.
Two: Respect your community- racism, misogyny, homophobia and hate speech aren’t tolerated.
Three: “Be nice.” - Dalton from Roadhouse
No one can change your mind when it's the absolute truth!
Mark Hamill is the greatest Joker of all time!
No need to change it. He is The Best voice actor for the Joker ever.
Three words.
"Why so serious?"

COMMUNITY HONEST TRAILER!!!! #sixseasonsandamovie
"A city trapped somewhere between 1932 and 1992" you described exactly what I miss about Gotham's true aesthetic.
Right? It just doesn't feel the same with more modernized looks. Even when it looked like it was in the 80's it was off.
Ive always preferred an older, historic, more grungy looking Gotham, like the Arkham City area and the Animated Series Gotham.
@@theboi1885 the Gotham aesthetic always felt very gothic to me
@@amadeus6418 Agreed. I would put it more under a Gothic Revival style.
Gotham should look like a Old London, Gotham is an old city, makes sense and Batman would look so badass standing in a gargoyle like Daredevil stands in the top of old churchs in the comics
This show gave Mr. Freeze his incredible tragic backstory, introduced Harley Quinn & brought in the definitive voices for Batman & Joker! Not bad for a kid’s cartoon lol.
Given that Harley Quinn has become something of a litmus test for people with unhealthy relationship fantasies I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Introducing a litmus test will never be a bad thing
Mr freeze was not cool about it talk about the ice cold treatment! Ha ha ha pun intended!
jliller That's because the adaptation after DCAU did a terrible job defining their relationship. In Batman TAS, everyone knows that her relationship with Joker is toxic and helping her to leave joker.
The end of the Baby Doll episode legitimately hurts me which is weird since very few things do.

Rest in peace Kevin Conroy.
You were vengeance.
You were the night.
You were BATMAN.
He always will be the Batman of Batman
More like he's heavens dark knight
Such a nice way to honour him.
@@renegade5522 yup
That was originally my commitment when I first heard about his death 😢
RIP Kevin Conroy, we will never forget you no matter how many new Batmans come and go we will always remember you forever
"This Batman Forever" 100% indeed.
Thank you mario
He is the standard by which Batmans are judged.
Seriously , it wasn't just the voice it was a mood
I hope he got to see this. It’s nicely done and doesn’t crap on his legacy. Plus it’s funny.
"The best joker ever. Yeah, i said it."
You said it, i said it, we all said it.
" *DON'T TOUCH ME!* _I don't know where you've been!_ "
So say we all!
You said it! I said it! She said it! That one crazy hobo down the street said it!
@@Mike_Dubo
I can probably walk down my street, find 10 different hobos, and 9 out of 10 would all agree on this Batman's Joker.
[Everyone like that]
Funny how the animated Batman was actually LESS cartoony than the Joel Schumacher films.
The tone was based of the Tim Burton Batman movie which preceded the Joel Schumacher
@@s4xtt Burton specializes in dark, artistic, and absurd. No one should try to copy his style except for Sam Raimi.
@@MonstrousEthicist Actually copying Burtons style seemed to work quite well for this series.
Ouch tho
It was based off the Burton films but definitely not his style. Burton's gotham looked like Medieval England and B:TAS Gotham looked like 1940's New York.
"Character defining portrayals"
Literally, in Harley's case. She was created for this series.
This show is the reason she’s one of my favorite Batman villains
When Honest Trailers had almost nothing negative to say, you know you've done something right.
Did you know if it wasn't for this series Harley Quinn wouldn't have existed?
The writers of this show are the ones who created Harley Quinn.
This show was so good the comic books had to copy off them.
everyone knows that.
This was the best animated batman series hands down.
@@kevinpardini8254 This was the best animated superhero series hands-down.
Including all series by DC, Marvel and others, past or present.
Mr. Freeze was revitalized by the animated series.
Same with Batman Beyond... gotta love the community for coming up with such cool ideas.
"I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman." Still gives me chills after all these years. Every time.
Best

EVER!!
Everytime!
Update:
Kevin Conroy, the voice actor of Batman for 3 decades has passed away at November 10th, 2022.
R.I.P for the man who voiced Batman and be part of our childhood.
Rip 🙏 🪦
"They sell T-shirts of me, I've become a cliché" I want to see that line in a Deadpool movie
Except Deadpool would most likely be flattered. Or try to get royalties. Certainly not think it cliche.
Better yet, I want there to be no more deadpool movies ever. Even better than that, no more marvel movies at all. Wait wait, even better than that, I want there to be no more disney movies ever. Where's a blue genie that sounds like robin williams when you need one, that would be good and ironic.
James Hill deadpool would make his own merch and wear it too
Does he make any money off that??
medexamtoolsdotcom I want there to be no more movies at all
This series was so good, there is one scene in it that cemented batman as my favorite superhero.
The Joker kidnaps one of batmans ladies and takes her to a warehouse where she is tied up and on a conveyor belt pulling into a big crushing machine. Batman stands between the joker and his exit, so joker gives him an ultimatum.
"If you try to stop me she will die, if you save her I get away."
So Batman smiles, and reaches out of frame to hit a switch and shut the power off.
It was hilarious, and I loved the idea that that it was resolved by just paying attention to your surroundings and being smart.
The ultimatum is actually came from Harley Quinn, and the lady is Catwoman, in the later half of "Almost got 'im."
@@a721402 nice, it's been a long time since I saw that episode. It would have been when the show originally aired on tv.
@@a721402 I loved it how Harley Quinn had chosen a cat food producing line :D
@@joannaniedziaek8158 lol, that's awesome, I need to watch that series again
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite episode of this is when a nobody SEEMS to have killed Batman and the Joker falls to pieces in grief and holds a wake for him. They have Batman's cowl on which the Joker has put a "kick me" sign, all the while crying through the eulogy. It was awesome.
“The Man Who Killed Batman”… That episode was a good one
Hands-down, the best, most nuanced, and ACCURATE depiction of The Dark Knight, outside of the comics themselves.
The Paul Dini team should give lectures on their understanding of the Batman character. THEY GET IT. They understand WHY this character has been a cultural icon for 80 years.
And quite right, it didn't 'dumb down' things to 'children's level.' It assumed kids' intelligence and their ability to deal with the darker story elements which sometimes came up.
Great characters, great storytelling, great SHOW.
Possibly even a BETTER depiction than some of the comics versions.
@@Moondarq Some, absolutely. I'm quite new to the comics and have only read some of the main ones, but I love most of the ones I've read. Unfortunately, since this franchise has been around since 1939, it's bound to have some missteps, though the only one I didn't like from what I've read was Hush (Jim Lee was amazing, though)
Oh no you did not just ignore Bruce Timm
@@OctacleEditsDini is most of the reasom why BTAS is so good. The Art style is from Timm but he was no more than a Feige in this universe. Dini is the true Dark Knight of this entire period.
"The best Joker ever. Yeah! I said it!"
And no one's disagreeing with you. We all agreed upon this years ago.
We did?
He was my favorite JOKER.
I'm sure other people have a different favorite Joker.
Exactly my thoughts!
KatKaleen those people don’t deserve opinions.
Anton A. I don’t know about the infinity war thing, but yeah I have a different opinion then you. You want to fight about it?
yeah
We need a compilation of Alfred’s sick burns.
I think there is one
"I drew you a bath, sir." Shows Bruce a picture of a bathtub.
Some:
“Imagine that sir, some dressed in a frightening costume running around scaring people, what will they think of next?”
Batman: You think I’m crazy don’t you?
Alfred: In what sense, Master Bruce?
Batman: You think you know me.
Alfred: I diapered your bottom; I bloody well ought to!
Flash: "Hey, that's a giant dinosaur!"
Alfred: "And I thought Batman was the detective."
"Does this batman dance?"
Me: No but he sings
Am I Blue
Trippy Justice League ep.
Let alone well enough to where Circe and Zatana were swooning hard (and I think Circe was even in joyful tears).
Now that I’ve finally watched the series, I can say without a doubt…
Holy crap, that “terrible marksmanship” bit was right on the money. Seriously, some scenes the bad guys are shooting directly AROUND the completely stationary targets. It’d be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.
Oh what the heck, I’ll laugh anyway.
Still though, great show.
Ay, nice reference. That's a super dark cartoon right there.
At least they had guns they could actually shoot. Most cartoons around then had lasers they could just wave around and never actually do anything with.
“If you don’t like the movie, I’ve got slides!”
I will never get over the fact that the goons literally shot AROUND bats and Montoya.
Batman suplexed an alligator. Your argument is invalid.
Wrestling is a form of fighting
Oh yeah? Well Sabin Fígaro suplexed an actual goddam evil freight train while outrunning it in Final Fantasy VI 😂
@@FamousWolfe "ghost" train, actually...
@@FamousWolfe that was the best part of that game. defeating the train like Zangief. he trained Sabin well...
Raiden suplexed a metal gear.. metal gear rising revengeance.
“Gotham, it’s a city where the crime is up, the nights are long and the people are rectangles.” 🤣
It s a city under siege by the best rouge s gallery in animation history
When he said and the people are rectangles. I was dying. 😂
And the children are all above average
I died at the rectangles moment. lol
Only a complete idiot makes a comment repeating what was said in the video. Only thing worse are people who like their comments.
RIP Kevin Conroy.
You had been a joy to listen to in my childhood. Indeed my most favourite portrayal of batman to date.
Rupert Thorne's observation "The brighter the picture, the darker the negative" is still one of my favorite lines in all of everything.
Anyone who shot a gun in the animated series was trained by stormtroopers
A lot of people say that about shooters with bad aim but my question is who trained the Stormtroopers?
@@lynnwest4307 The Imperial Academy
@@RogerRoger420 lol ok
And Cobra
Nah, stormtroopers would be embarrassed to have that bad of aim.
They should've titled the show: "Batman Animated: The Series" so the acronym would be BATS.
This is the most galaxy brain thing ever holy hell man
Holy shi-!!
Brilliant-Ass Thesis, Slick.
Wow
*sniff* we're almost 30 years too late to suggest that.
Kevin Conroy's passing sent me here. RIP the voice of Batman.
The definitive voice
Rest In Peace, Kevin Conroy (the best Batman ever).
The "Jim Gordon Scare" compilation was just pure gold, seriously, yes! Please stop haunting your one and only ally with actual authority!
It's like he is trying to give him a heart attack
"I had cats that make more noise than you!" Jim Gordon
Commissioner Gordon: fapping after a long night of detective work
Batman: comes from behind the TV playing Gotham City booty #27 "I got new leads on the joker" 🤨
@@phantomsoldier87 BRUH XD
Commissioner Gordon shouldnt be in that position if he cant handle Batman entrances.
"See DC, that's all we want. A definite portrait of a beloved character that balances multiple tones across dozens of hours that can only happen with a perfect creative team and lands at the perfect time in the cultural zeitgeist ."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Exactly. I was like, "Yeah, EpicVoiceGuy gets it."
Well they could have said Warner Bros, the company that actually makes the adaptations.
Not dc you mean WB
Is that so hard!?
The genius behind this quote shows the issue with the DC movies. No matter how good or bad they are people arent going to enjoy them because they arent the tone that most want. Everyone expects the dc films to be just like marvels but when they arent the same tone or theme everyone just says they’re bad. DC cant win with a darker/gritty tone if they made the best movie ever because it’s not a bright and colorful comedy superhero movie like most people want.
"This Batman is Forever" RIP Kevin Conroy.
man, drawing everything on black cels was genius. everything looks dark and moody but the lighting pops and the explosions look fantastic
This show did more character development for Batman, his side kicks, and all the villains, than all the movies combined. It will always be a treasured classic.
To be fair, 85 episodes (Plus 24 more if you count The New Batman Adventures) is a lot more time to properly introduce/develop the entire Batman supporting cast than five reboots with 11 films.
That's honestly very good and sad judging by the amount of movies we have today Thanks to the dcau
Fun Fact: Batman The Animated Series is actually Harley Quin's first debut in anything ever.
Fun fact: Everyone knows that.
she was just a random joker henchwoman with no name
Yes we're all well aware
Thanks for that. I actually didn't know. 👍
Pretty much everyone knows that.
Missed that joker burn on two face when says "Get out of my face clown" and he replies "Which one?"
Rest in peace kevin conroy the truly legend batman 😢
Conroy and Hamill were born to voice Batman and Joker
I always hear their voices when I read the comics.
Michael Ansara as Mr. Freeze was also definitive.
@@ldystardust6392
I read that in Batman's voice.
"Think of it, Batman. To never again walk on a summer's day with the hot wind in your face, and a warm hand to hold. Oh yes... I'd kill for that."
And then the contemporary live action Freeze: Ice to meet you
I'm not ashamed to admit I teared up when hearing that line again. I always felt bad for Dr. Fries, man. Dude just wanted to cure his wife.
"childrens shows" were different back then..
@mjolnir, shows back then didn't treat children like soft morons.
@@bozoforce Yes they did.
The artstyle and aesthetic of this series is unrivalled
We need more people shaped like rectangles in cartoons again

Before Teen Titans.
Before Spectacular Spiderman.
Before Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heros.

This particular bit has made me cry laughing...I don’t even know why 😂 the bit when he does his neck is priceless
Batman TAS is also the only place I have EVER seen a henchman smart enough to pretend he didn't see Batman.
"This Batman Forever" . YES!
1:54 - Really? Come on. There were loads of sick burns to choose from there.
Personally, I'd have gone with, "Sir, the police just received a call about a giggling, lemon-yellow maniac trashing a thrift shop. But *here's* the strange part..."
“ if I may be so bold” when in Rome sir.
ha creeper episode 😏
I liked it just fine.
Harvey Dent: "Get outta my face, clown!"
Joker: "Which one?"
Mr Freeze: "freeze!"
@@darthkek1953 "That's Mister Freeze to you!"
Killer Croc: "I threw a ROCK at him!"
Little known fact: it's this sick burn by the Joker that scarred half of Harvey's body, not the chemical explosion!
@@RockinAfr0 Plot hole: how could Joker talk about Harvey's two faces if the latter's not half-scarred yet prior to this sick burn?
One of the major reasons the Arkham video game series was so good, was because they based it primarily on this Batman universe, and not on many of the others.
It was also inspired by an original batman horror comic with pretty much the same story. I forgot the exact name but it is something like Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. (Feel free to correct me on the name if it is wrong.) I tried to read it but it honestly freaked me out too much. The style of it is so chilling.
This cartoon is my childhood. It never gets old.
2022 November. Kevin Conroy, legendary voice of Batman for over 30 years has passed away.
Man the joker is easy to remember but seeing all these clips of the other villains makes me realize this show did such a fantastic job with all the villains
Really did, the redesign of two face, and Mr freezes back story stand out.
Yes! Clayface, Two-face, Harley, Penguin, Riddler, Clock King, Ra's al ghul, Poison Ivy, and these are just a few great ones that came off from my head.
Definitely
My external drive broke and I lost almost all data from the last 8 years. But I didn't lose Batman the animated series and Avatar the last airbender, because I had them backed up.. Priorities.
If only you had Showbox...
This show was my childhood. The nostalgia after watching this is immeasurable. Truly a masterpiece. Pity children today have to watch filtered animation.
I literally only have those two shows as well.
A true intellect
Right priorities! 90's Batman and Superman still best!
RIP Kevin Conroy ...the true Batman.
RIP Kevin Conroy. The definitive portrayal of Bruce Wayne/ Batman
Forgot to mention this series is what gave us Harley Quinn! First introduced and was so loved that she became canon, and the rest is history.
Scott Shadday This was the best portrayal of Harley
@@lahalhalha Best and First
Episode name "Mad Love" and since then many people are in Love with Hearly Quinn.
Oh wow i came just into the comment section to spread this
Yea, it's so epic even honest trailers didn't have any real disses
In honor of Kevin Conroy, please say “I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman!”
THIS Batman, forever... RIP Kevin Conroy.😢
woah woah woah, let's not hold the killing joke movie's sins against batman TAS.
they're two _very_ separate things.
Go look up the Batman relaunch comic for this show, then come back when you’ve gotten over that.
Yeah, we have plenty of modern Timmverse sins to hold against it now. Someone retire that man before he goes full Lucas.
@@TheBoldImperator He's been pushing the bat x Babs relationship since the end of batman tas.
@@radfordra eh the comics canonicity is questionable at best. I choose to ignore them
Ur12b4got Go watch Batman beyond
Fun fact: Harley first appearance was on this series.
O Universo Leitor everyone knows that except for some fangirls who are going to dress up as her tonight but only know the Harley from Suicide Squad
This was also every version of Mr. Freeze (except the original's) debut.
Yup, Freeze was a clown before, the tragic issue is on this Freeze.
R.I.P Kevin Conroy
I'm shocked I haven't seen this Honest Trailer until now. RIP Kevin Conroy.
Mark Hamill is the greatest Joker.
Kevin Conroy is the greatest Batman.
These two things were somehow even more awesome once they got into Justice League (the cartoon, obviously).
Arleen Sorkin was the greatest Harley Quinn.
Welcome to the Metaverse she’s been the only Harley Quinn until Suicide Squad lol
And the Task Force X episode of Justice League Unlimited should've been required watching for the makers of godawful Suicide Squad (stretching the limits of relevance to your comment, but still true)
Sometime between TAS and Justice League he lost what remained of his emotions and gained god status. I never knew/remembered Batman could feel fear till I saw this trailer.
FUN FACT: this was the first appearance of Harley Quinn in any media.
Also how the hell did they forgot about Nightwing?
Pikachu_ dead I knew about Harley Quinn was the same true for Nightwing?
Nightwing was in The New Batman Adventures, which is technically a sequel to this show. That’s why he’s not mentioned. It’s also why all the clips are in the old character design
Joshua Nishanth Christian I meant was he introduced in the cartoon before the comics
Sparky Dood that’s not true
Mr44andMore Yes she was, I have no idea about Nightwing though which is why I was asking
RIP Kevin Conroy, you are dearly missed by so many. Thank you for being a part of our lives.
And thank you to Honest Trailers and Epic Voice Guy for doing a marvelous job with this video. It made me chuckle and get all nostalgic.
Watching in honor of Kevin Conroy aka THE Batman!
I can just see Gordon sitting in a mental institution, shuddering and speaking to himself "he came out of nowhere. He was just suddenly there. Then disappeared again" over and over again D:
Poor guy.
Or having a Heart Attack
You just made my day with ur comment thank u
He's the police commissioner of ****ing Gotham City, home of a ridiculous number of super and regular villains. He's a tough cookie.
baaahhahaahah this scene was to good
If he didn't die of a heart attack first!
FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES THAT ANIMATED JOKER IS THE BEST ONE, NO CONTEST
Finally? Everyone agrees that. Literally everyone.
@@wratched the Heath Ledger fan boys dont
FINALLY SOMEONE SHARES AN OPINION THAT MANY, MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE AND HAVE SAID ALOUD
but the best live action Joker is Heath Ledger
Don't forget Jack Nicholson. He was awesome as joker as well.
This show came out when I was 15 and obviously I never missed an episode. I was young and naïve and took it for granted. I always thought it was awesome because I liked Batman, however I know realize that I like Batman because it was awesome.
RIP Kevin Conroy best Batman of all time😔
"See DC? That's all we want! A definitive portrait of a beloved character that balances multiples tones across dozens of hours that can only happen with a perfect creative team and lands at a perfect time in the cultural zeitgeist! Is that so hard?"
Yes...?
This was the best part!!
Yes, that is exactly what we want. Sure it is hard, but nobody said making movies is as easy as going to the loo.
Couldn't stop laughing at the "Batman startling Gordon" montage. You think he'd give him a break at some point
Kinda surprise Gordon didn't have a heart attack
"Bat man! Have pity on a old mans hart." Gordon
You would think he would get used to it after a point but hell no!!
I wonder if everyone else at GCPD can see Batman sneaking around, they just ignore him so he can scare Gordon.
@@SarajevoKyotoLmao thats the funniest shit. Batman just gives them a "shhhh" and the try to contain laughter as he tip toes behind Gordon
: Rest in peace, the ultimate batman, Kevin Conroy
My favorite scene is when he interrogated the germaphobe holding a glass of supposed disease samples and goes “crimson fever, no cure you know.” And when he puts the jar down it reads “sea water.”
Say "I am vengeance. I am the night. I AM BATMAN!"
I am now wondering which came first: BtAS or Darkwing Duck. Because as soon as Conroy started that line, I suddenly pictured Batman saying "I am the terror that flaps in the night!"
Its knight not night
@@Ranjithkumar-vn1bd you should correct yourself with google. The orginal line is night not knight. He meant to bring night (darkness) to bring fear on criminals
@@Ranjithkumar-vn1bd no it is night
I think he did it way before this trailer
Notes on BTAS:
1. This show was really magical.
2. They used an orchestra for every episode.
3. Those guns? They called them "dark deco weapons" in the script to be able to slide them past the censors.
4. "Dark deco" is what they called the visual style of Gotham, which the comics then adapted FROM the show.
5. Adam West makes a guest appearance on the show as the washed up tv superhero.
6. Harley Q originated from this show.
7. The reason why Batman could launch so many bad guys off of rooftops is because they added an "after groan", which is a shot of the villain on the ground and groaning, showing he wasnt dead. (censors wanted it)
Arkham Asylum has been around since 1974. Mark Hamil wasn't even a household name until '77, when Star Wars came out. Cool coincidence, nevertheless.
Arkham was taken from the town in Lovecraft lore,Arkham,Massachusetts.
@@frankf684 thank you for the correction! ill remove it :)
Their is a speck of dust that appears on one of the intro cells making batman look like he has a white mole
@@frankf684 Not just that, Arkham Asylum is a copy of the fictional Arkham Sanitarium. Well, with the exception that AA is an asylum (a quarantine for the mentally ill) and AS is a sanitarium (a quarantine for the disease ridden).
HANDS DOWN the best animated series EVEN over X-Men and I know that sounds crazy but this was an absolute masterpiece
I always loved this show. Im glad it won an Emmy
Not just best Joker ever, best Batman, best Catwoman, best everything!!
Also...the opening... LOL, I never notice!!
Justice League's Jonah Hex was better? But they both still had Jonah HEX!
Megaroad Producciones the opening wasn’t necessarily supposed to be crooks robbing a bank. They could’ve been anarchists trying to create chaos, and maybe Batman had been tracking them.
A dignified Mister Freeze!
The GOAT of cartoons. Best joker. Best catwoman. Best Batman. Best poison ivy. Best Harley. Best storylines. I could go on forever.. 🤷🍿😩👑
Let me add: best storyboarding. Scene setups, camera angles (well, point of view angles. No camera), use of light and shadow, all as professional as it gets.
It’s the best Harley because that series invented her
When batgirl died, I aged a few years in 30 minutes
Dont forget Best Mr. Freeze
I agree, completely! This Batman made all the late nights I stayed up doing homework, worth it. I'd watch it as soon as I got home.
5:37 - This happens SO much that I find myself yelling at the screen, "Oh, come ON, Bruce!!!!" For all the good it does. I mean, he should have a gas mask in one hand CONSTANTLY....
Why doesn't a Crazy Prepared high tech ninja billionaire have a gas mask on him at all times??
He had one on the Thursday belt lol, the other days... nah it was only his willing 🤣
'That's so cute. You think you're scary. But mister, I've seen scary...And you ain't got his smile.' -Joker
Rocksteady used THIS version of Batman as the inspiration for their Batman Arkham games.
As a kid that grew up on The Animated Series, one of the things I loved about the Arkham games was that they felt like the series but darker. Like they knew that the the kids that had grown up on the series were now the teens and adults going to watch the Nolan movies and were inspired to update the feel of the cartoon to have an appeal that was both nostalgic and modern.
That's why they're the best! God it felt good to play those video games. he characters acted exactly as I expected but were a little more mature because they weren't locked into a kids TV show.
Everyone used this version of Batman for inspiration.
More importantly, they got Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill for their voice actors too. I remember my friend started playing it when I was over one time and instantly recognized Kevin Conroy's voice and was just ecstatic.
That's because they were also written by Paul Dini.
"Terrible Marksmanship" is the best statement of all.
AKA Stormtrooper aim
@@thehiddenninja3428 worse than Stormtrooper aim. multiple times the range was 0 with a fucking machine gun. and they missed. I mean barrel poking into his gut.
Wait until you see the enemies in Rambo lol
They must be part time storm troopers.
At 5:05 they guy literally shoots around them.
This is sucks man Kevin died without warning I'm still shock you will be missed he's truly an inspiration he mold a generation of DC fans watching Batman animated series to justice league animated series you will be my batman forever 🦇
RIP Kevin Conroy.
I am vengeance.
I am the night.
I AM BATMAN!
HISHE Batman: *BECAUSE I'M BATMAN!*
P.A. Productions, but the furry cat woman tho😭 that shat is so bad!
It just occurred to me: this show had guns. What other cartoon from that time shows bad guys trying to riddle people with bullets? Batman TAS was more badass then I realized.
It had less successful kills with those guns than the average stormtrooper, however, so it wasn't *THAT* far ahead...
They had to fight hard to get guns in the show, but I think the fact they generally used Tommy Guns, which don't exist anymore, is why they could get away with that. Kids don't have access to Tommy Guns anymore. True, they did use handguns but mostly Tommy Guns.
The Disney Afternoon line up. Talespin had guns and Negaduck in Darkwing Duck pulled out a shotgun several times
LOL true...guns and the worst marksmen on planet earth ever.
Gargoyles not only had guns but had a gun safety episode that actually dove into how everyone is at fault and equally resonsible for safety.
Now we've lost two iconic Batmen!
R.I.P Kevin Conroy
RIP Kevin Conroy
Anyone else remember the Grey Ghost episode, based on an older retired character that was Batman's inspiration? Anyone else remember Grey Ghost played by Adam West?
Fantastic episode, classic!
yes one of the better episodes with a double meta wink at the audience.
Do you member???
Wasn't it against the mad toy bomber, ethier way great episode
They supposedly would never have done the episode if they couldn't get Adam West.
I remember running home from school as fast as I could just to catch the last 10-15 minutes of Batman Animated.
Dark Knight me too
I just waited and bought the box set ready for a binge
Rest in peace to the king, Kevin Conroy
Love the "terrible marksmanship" line, this could be applied to every evil henchman in every cartoon!
1. FCC
2. Plot Armor
3. Ever operate a Chicago typewriter style machine gun?
The best Joker ever but you forgot also the BEST Harley Quinn EVER as well 😁
The oiginal is usually always the best, Batman: the Animate Movie created the character, every other form tried to emulate it
IDK, _Arkham_ Harley would give her a run for her money.
@@cabrondemente1 The Arkham version essentially *is* The Animated series version--it's the same voice actor (just like the Joker).
@@BFedie518 Well the Arkham Harley Quinn's Voice was done by Tara strong ,so not the same

that's just one of Alfred's multiple skills, and let's be honest: he's a master in this department.

rip kevin conroy 💔💔
When adult life doesn't quite work out the way you'd hope and everything seems hopeless and bleak... you can always come back to your childhood hero and it makes everything seem like it's going to be okay. Knowing Kevin Conroy isn't with us anymore... I can't explain how that makes me feel. In essence he was my childhood hero and now he's gone. Celebrity deaths never occur to me or even bother me in the slightest but his... I can't shake it.
I get the feeling. It's a terrible loss to us all. Hugs and thoughts are with you.
You didn't mention the fact that they chose the creepiest way to kill people since they couldn't actually kill them..... with the giant smiles....
Yep freaking traumatized me at the time 0_0
Yep, even a "kiddie" version of Joker Venom is traumatizing.
@@SarajevoKyoto Yea, they really screwed it up in Batman Beyond movie. The Joker getting shot is way less traumatic than getting electrocuted.
@@graciegj63 I dunno, it works on a few levels. By shooting the Joker, instead of tackling him into the electric cables or however, Tim was showing just how irreparably broken he was. Even "redeemed" he still used a gun, a deliberately lethal method on a criminal. The Joker sort of won, he made Batman's protege violate the One Rule, and thus twisted the knife to Batman one last time.
The metaphorical one anyways, the literal one got jammed into ol' Brucie's knee.
@@SarajevoKyoto Yea, you do have a point there.
I grew up watching this batman and never thought about the intro in this way. Those two poor guys... Wrong place, wrong time
Poor guys? They had shifty eyes; Batman obviously felt threatened; he was "standing his ground" .
My perception was almost changed...until I remembered the intro is basically a shortened version of the pilot episode.
Wilson Lin Maybe they had planted bombs in the bank and were leaving 🤷🏾♂️ But really it’s probably because it looked cool lol
I tripped out when I realized that the windows of the bank look like the Android logo..
I knew something was off about the intro.
only thing missing from this is the one clip where the circle was complete with adam west playing the grey ghost and batman going full fanboy
