Wow this commentary was so good it's the second time we uploaded it! (Woopsie) Thanks for watching and give us your favorite parts of Batman: The Animated Series in the comments below (plus your guess at next week's trailer)
Thanks everyone!
Um. Kristian _did_ hoodwink you but let you off the hook and said he made it up lmao
If memory serves, Dan, you even said there had been an IMDB entry under the title but it was blank.
:)
Plz do incredibles 2 honest trailer 😃
ScreenJunkies News Hamill’s bit part was Ferris Boil from Heart of Ice
FANTASTIC work guys!
yeah I'm thinking it's Incredibles 2, and I wonder if the HT will bring up the question of why the one hero who created portals for the others to jump thru constantly changing their trajectory, why she couldn't have just conjured one in front of the boat to make it go back OUT to sea, away from land lol
Everyone's talking about this being the best Joker but for my money, this is the best Alfred. He's snarky, he's supportive, we see in a flashback that he tried hard to give Bruce a good childhood, and he's the voice of reason. He's not just a butler, he's a dad, advisor, British comedic relief and valuable addition to the team. This is Alfred done right.
Honestly, and this is not being hyperbolic, the DC animated run that started with Batman The Animated Series, went to Superman The Animated Series, and ended with Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, virtually every single character you see is the best version of that character. I can think of no real exceptions to this, and if there is another portrayal that gives them competition, it's absolutely no character of any note.
Romero: The Clown.
Nicholson: The Gangster.
Ledger: The Anarchist.
Leto: The Psychopath.
Hamill: The Joker.
Im really excited to see what Phoenix is gonna pull off. I hope he kicks Leto out of excistence, terrible terrible joker.
TheGeekCollector
I might have dug Leto if he was given more time/better acting direction. What little we got of him was just an absolute mess that was up to par to with the mess that was Suicide Squad.
If that is the case, then The Anarchist makes a better villain for Batman than the Joker
Nick Grimes um hard to dig a guy who mailed condoms unsolicited to his costars and passed his own creepiness as "method acting". That decision had nothing to do with screen time or art direction.
leto the idiot
Mark Hamill being the best Joker is the LEAST controversial take.
That's like saying the Sun is hot.
Everyone pretty much agrees that Conroy and Hamill ARE the ultimate Batman and Joker.
Agreed.
Pretty sure they know that.
uh what about ledger
I think they've just been overly sensitized because of previous takes that got huge backlash in the comments section.
@@LilCalamar8 Uh, one great performance doesn't equal great performances over 20 years.
I like Clock King.
Clock King is king
It's highly non-controversial that Mark Hamill is the best Joker.
Truth
As much as we love that one performance, Heath Ledger did one movie. Mark Hamill did years and years and years of the great performance, across games and TV. One brief moment, no matter how spectacular, does not consistent brilliance beat.
And even for that one moment, Ledger was playing a brilliant character, but it wasn't really the Joker.
Chris Frizzell You could just take his performance in Mask of the Phantasm alone and he'd still be the best.
just to be that guy, but I like the darker stuff so my opinion is the best Joker is John DiMaggio
I feel like Dan's Bat-can is going underappreciated... I appreciate it so much. Cape is an A+ addition!
If I were Gordon I would light up my office like an operating room and break off the switch.
This came out when I was in high school. Always great. My favorite.
This, X-Men, Spider-Man, & Gargoyles. Good time for animation.
Btw, Joe Perry did the Spider-Man theme.
You guys should do an Honest Trailer for the show Community. You guys make a lot of references to it in various Honest Trailers and i think it deserves it's own one. Imo its one of the best shows of all time
I agree!
Watching Joe and Dan talk is like when I think things over on a car ride or something. They are both like 90% aligned with my brain, and, their discussion is so much like an internal dialogue I have.
For Spider-Man far from
Home you guys should do the 90s Spider-Man show
That show is AMAZING
or Spectacular Spider-Man
Spectacular-spider-man was the best show
What about Spiderman and his amazing friends >:V
that was his best show
Francisco .Mora what about Spider-Man on Electric Company that was, um… a thing that happened.
FUN FACT: Mark didn't think he would get the job so he went for it, just for fun. That laugh nailed it.
This is almost inarguably one of the best animated shows of all time in my opinion.
5:20 "For the money, by the way, Kevin Conroy is, I think, the best Batman."
Cannot agree more, Dan! Best Batman AND best Wayne. No contest.
Batman The Animated Series is the quintessential take of The Dark Knight that gets it right with a balance of how to portrayed the character, his allies and rouge gallery of villains. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are the definitive voices of Batman & The Joker. I love this series so much
Joe, I also love Clock King. I thought I was the only one too.
It just doesn't feel right without Spencer.
Batman suplexing a crocodile is my favorite thing right now.
You guys should make the Honest Trailer of Night Falls !
That would be a great April Fools' video!
@@StephenShepherdOfficial Indeed!
That's not a joker hot take mark is Def the best joker
Right?! Who disagrees with that?
just to be that guy, but I like the darker stuff so my opinion is the best Joker is John DiMaggio
Mark Hamill nailed it
This show is really something special, when I think of Batman adaptations, I think of this show as if it's the comics onscreen, and a quality version at that.
In 1992, I was taping BTAS after school, and I'd freeze frame the credits to see if I recognized any of the voices. There were a lot of heavy hitters. Those you mentioned, as well as Adrienne Barbeau, Ron Perlman, and others...including prolific character actors like David Warner, Michael Pataki, and Henry Silva, whose names I wouldn't recognize until years later.
But it definitely blew my 12 year old mind that Luke Skywalker was the Joker.
You guys should do a video of a parody of what it is like to work there, with Spencer "so" moments, Roth's spy antics, Dan rants and everything.
Joe tweeted about how the office got into an argument about the Harry Potter universe. I would love a little nod/replay of that.
@@MyssBlewm Same with the Ghostbusters Line from Charting.
An Honest Trailer for screenjunkies itself? I like it
Batman Beyond is definitely in the same continuity and Bruce and Barbara had a past relationship in that show. Bruce Timm obviously just really likes the idea of the two hooking up.
Awesome HT! Honestly, my favourite parts of BTAS is everything good you guys said in the HT. I loved this show (and Batman Beyond too!), and can even watch it now, and show it to people - who've never seen it, and they'll get it, if not also love it.
OH SH-T!! Do you ever forget you have relatives who are kids and have yet to be introduced to the wonders of something?! *This is my time to shine!* And I wouldn't have thought of it without you for ages, thank you Screen Junkies, thank you!! 💪😆
You know Steve Harvey is rocking that yellow shirt/brown suit combo at least once a week.
Everyone keep talking about the accident while I admire what a fine piece of work Mr. Starr is
You've got the right idea!
@@fandomentertainment hahaha I hope this is actually Joe indulging in his own praise
Hamill was a one off character in the first episode featuring Mr. Freeze, "Heart of Ice".
Decided to re-watch and forgot what timeline I was in, so when they said "Spencer is on Vacation" for a moment I was startled. Besides dearly departed from the show Dan. But either way we've got plenty of time on our hands right now, so what better way to support the show than ramp up the numbers on their old content!
A lot of men in the 70s (my childhood) wore Dwight Schrute's color combo. I can't count the number of family portraits of my contemporaries that feature dads in brown suits with yellow shirts. It was probably the most conservative thing you could find back then. So either you had a chartreuse leisure suit dad or brown and yellow suit dad.
I can totally hear Spencer's voice at the end of the trailer once you guys pointed it out.
Nightfalls is one of my all times favorite Movie Fights moments. He had me fooled
😂 I remember thinking, "How could I have never heard of Nightfalls? Sounds like a good movie."
I gotta get back into Movie Fights. I am so behind
The bit with Batman constantly popping up on characters is so true! Totally reminds me of Smallville too. Clark was always super speeding into and out of conversations and everyone's just like "Clark?"
I have been a BIG fan of, ' B:TAS ', ever since its premiere episode: ' The Cat & the Claw ', 5 SEP 1992.
This show started preproduction at Fox in 1990, in the wake of the success of the 1st Burton film. Its original creative team was: Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Eric Radomski, Jean MacCurdy, and the late Boyd Kirkland, with Andrea Romano in charge of voice work.
The, ' Retro ', designs in the first season were influenced from the Max Fleischer, ' Superman ', animated serials of the '40's, which themselves were very well done.
The story goes that Tim Curry (of, ' Rocky Horror Picture Show ', fame) was originally going to be cast as the Joker, but once the team heard Hamill, that changed.
Sadly, many of that brilliant original voice cast are no longer with us. such as: Roddy McDowall (Mad Hatter), John Vernon (Rupert Thorne), Michael Ansara (Mr. Freeze), Bob Hastings (Commissioner Gordon), Ephram Zimbalist Jr. (Alfred), Etc.
' B:TAS ', will be remembered as the greatest artistic achievement in the history of television animation.
I love ClockKing he knew what time it is.
Best character
The thing about Hamill being the voice of Joker is that you listen to him now and realize he didn't change his voice all that much. He puts a bit more to it, but all I can hear is the Joker when he talks.
The first 5 minutes of this discussion brought me back to my 90s childhood, all the feels for after school cartoons!!😁
You guys should do Superman the animated series some time. I love the fact that Malcom McDowell plays Metalo in it.
I WAS HERE LAST NIGHT FOR THE ACCIDENT!
Me too. I had 5 mins left to go and it disappeared 👻. 😂
I watched the whole thing 😂
Same here and couldn’t for the life of me find the actual Honest Trailer.....
Michael Ramsey I commented last night “It’s a good thing the trailer is replayed in the commentary or we’d be completely lost”
Same here
You guys need to do more animated shows in the future, like Avatar, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Rick and Morty, BoJack Horseman, and more!
And yes, I was here when this video was uploaded the first time.
Also, I know what movie you’re doing next week, I just wish it were The Grinch (2000) in honor of the new one. :(
They said last year that they’re going to do the Grinch (2000) around the time when the new animated Grinch hits theaters.
@@bradynapolitano3223 It's Incredibles 2, just in time for the Blu-Ray release.
Favorite episode: Feat of Clay, Pt. II. The sequence where Clayface walks in to Summer Gleason's show to kill Roland Daggat, and it cut to commercial, with no stinger, no music cue, and to real life commercial? Absolutely brilliant
16:30 Y'all ain't the only ones whose world was rocked by learning Mark Hamill did The (Real and Best) Joker.
This show really struck a great balance of the Batman incarnations. It's very similar to the O'Neil/Adams run in the 70's where they darkened the character, but not to the Bat-Dick levels later writers tended to go with. It's where Ra's al Ghul was introduced.
Likewise, Hamill's Joker was a perfect balance as you said.
It very much feels like they took the best parts of every era of Batman to that point and came up with a perfect blend. They even embraced both Adam West and The Shadow with The Grey Ghost. It was a tribute to why the character has endured. Every era contributed something to this show.
I've said it before and I'll say it again the 90's had the best cartoons and live action shows ever. From Batman to the X-Men and power rangers, Tiny toons, Animaniacs, Carmen Sandiego, Mighty Max. I could go on and on
Corinth Kurney it’s pretty darn good but the 80s isn’t to shabby either with heman,transformers,gi joe,thunder cats,smurfs,muppet babies,inspector gadget,duck tales etc it was weak on live action though
@@matthewheywood8532 You definitely got a point too. I didn't forget about those I was just naming those great shows in the 90's but the 80's did too. It definitely started from the 80's
@@matthewheywood8532 Yep the 80's really didn't have many live action shows
Corinth Kurney live action was kinda frowned upon due to a glut of bad or weird ones from the 70s.
Like land of the lost or HAndR hufflepuff.
There was also the MTV animation boom of the 90's with things like Aeon Flux, Beavis & Butthead, and Daria.
I honestly enjoy the commentary much more than the trailers. The trailers are awesome too, though.
The person initially cast as Joker, by Andrea Romano the reason for most of our childhoods' casting, was Tim Curry. If memory serves he did 1 episode as Joker and it's a bit like seeing Eric Stoltz as Marty Mcfly...just not quite right.
Actually, they didn't cast Tim Curry because they felt he be too scary for a show that was aimed torwards a younger crowd considering the fact he played the original IT.
@@CynderSpirit They did. And they animated the show to his voice, but they redubbed those episodes with Hamill before broadcast.
Now that you are doing animated TV shows please do Avatar the last airbender it is the best western cartoon of all time and believe me I watch a lot of cartoons
Second.
I want them to do one but they'd need to just do the show. Not the tie-in materials, not The Legend Of Korra, just Avatar The Last Airbender. Otherwise I feel like we as fans are throwing too much at them to put in one trailer.
Great as always guys. I love these because you show me stuff I never saw or even thought of. Like the opening scene, your right why did those guys get the crap beat of them. Keep it sweaty!
Just finished watching Batman Animated and New Adventures a couple of weeks ago and we're watching 90s Spiderman now, very fortuitous timing, thanks for the funny trailer and commentary!
Love this and you guys! Watched this last night when it got put up by accident
and you clicked on the reupload? You are an MVP!
That modem noise is a total “only 90s kids will understand.” The joys of having to get off the modem so people can make phone calls.
Also...between Alfred and The Nanny and The Fresh Prince, the early ‘90s was a golden age for sassy butlers.
I want to note that the original voice of the Joker was going to be Tim Curry. They even finished recording a couple episodes with him. However, he had problems keeping his joker voice going for long periods of time and that is why they ultimately switched to Mark Hamill.
Tim Curry actually did the role perfectly the problem was he ended up being too scary for younger audiences so they went with Mark Hamill.
BEST JOKER EVER!!!! Yes, a thousand times, YES!
Joe's intro was surprisingly clear and articulate.
16:25
I had the same reaction as Dan when I found out the Joker was played by Luke Skywalker.🤯
Wasn't the opening sequence the actual short that was produced to sell the show to the studio?
Spider-Man TAS actually holds up BRILLIANTLY. I'd LOVE for you guys to tackle that one.
I actually rewatch it pretty regularly, and I'm super critical, so I'm pretty sure I'm not TOO blinded by nostalgia goggles.
The animation and pacing is actually MUCH better than X-Men TAS (which I also rewatch occasionally)...and while not as directly faithful to the comics as X-Men TAS, Spider-Man TAS was kinda better with its storytelling because it knew how to adapt from one medium to another.
Honestly, it's BETTER than X-Men TAS, and it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more influential on the stuff happening with the MCU and Marvel comics RIGHT NOW than most people are aware of.
If you ever decide to tackle it, shoot a line to John Semper Jr. (the head writer/showrunner/producer) on Twitter or Facebook.
He's always happy to talk about Spider-Man TAS.
He can usually pretty easily be reached at any of the following:

Incidentally, the Spider-Man TAS 'Radioactive Spider-Blood' theme was performed by Joe Perry of Aerosmith.
"Get back here Shocker! SHOCKER! You can't escape ME? I'll chase you to the ends of the Earth!!!!"
It really doesn't and that's coming from someone who is really nostalgic for it
It absolutely does.
When Dan started barking at the end, my dog started barking at it back
One of the best shows on RUclips talking about one of the greatest shows ever made, today is a great day!!
Hoping you guys do at least one other cartoon from the DCAU; Superman TAS, Justice League, JLU, Batman Beyond or Static Shock. Loved watching them when I was growing up, Superman talking about living in a world made of cardboard at the end of JLU is still awesome.
What controversy? He IS the best Joker ever.
One of the other crown jewels of '90s cartoons is "Gargoyles" (if it ain't Top 2 alongside Batman: TAS, it's gotta be at least in the Top 5), hope you guys do an Honest Trailer of THAT some day.
Am I loosing my my mind or did I watch this yesterday..... I think I can see the future!
Batman and Barbra did have a thing according to Batman Beyond.
and they say they are fans, in the TAS they also had a thing so
yuck
Cracked actually once made a sketch called Is it time for batman to tone it down and in it, commishioner gordon asks batman to yell something before he swoops in outta nowhere and the first thing he yells is FEAR ME! succinctly followed by IM GOING TO MURDER EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU
This is the best joker. He came with his own theme song
Mark Hamill is the best Joker!!!
"The crime is high, the nights are hot, the people are rectangles. " Sounds like the first line on the blurb on the back of an issue of Gerard Ways Doom Patrol run.
Barbara and Bruce definitely had something going on. In Batman Beyond old Bruce is flipping through photos of past romantic involvements and she is one of them.
Freakazoid, Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Batman the Animated Series, The X-Men...
Thanks for the Childhood Feels.
Batman: The Animated Series will forever remain my definitive Batman. It is the pinnacle of all the best bat-things. Being animated, it threaded the needle of campiness and gritty noir. It remains perfection. /chef kiss
Night Falls lives!
My Brother and I created a 6 ft tall Stick Stickly Halloween costume and would trade off who wore it each year. I don’t know if anyone ever got it. So to hear Dan reference the Stick, well, it warmed the cockles of my frozen heart.
Mark Hamill did the one-off voice for the guy who helped create Freeze, the CEO of Victor's old employer. It's the early episode where Batman has a cold. From there he asked if they had any long term roles available, was turned away, then called up a few weeks later as the original voice they had for the Joker fell through.
Batman TAS is the only childhood cartoon show that still holds up when you become an adult (in my opinion).
I hoped you looked it up afterwards. Tim Curry was the Original Joker but he was too scary.
The Christian Harlov Night Falls is one of the best movie fights highlights 😂
Mark Hamill is the best joker and that’s not controversial, he’s so perfect that he kept coming back in the Arkham series
The animated “Batman” series is truly amazing. From the greatest cartoon show of all time to Batman beyond which wasn’t bad at all is fantastic.
NEVER stop doing the heart tap Dan!
I brought the series although I already have the DVDs (which are over 10 years old). I don't really like how tightly the discs are into the packaging. At least Blu-Rays are less scratch resistant, but I still don't like touching the bottoms. I may have to change what I store the discs in. Lastly, I really don't like how they always have to box in the episodes (I prefer full screen), but so far the episodes look beautiful. I already watched Disc 1. I hope for Superman and Batman Beyond, and Justice League complete sets as well.
The episodes were originally animated and broadcast in 4:3, so if they changed it to widescreen it'd either be super stretched or you'd lose a significant portion of the image due to cropping. Trust me, as much as the black bars are weird, 4:3 is always the way to go on old shows.
BlueScarabGuy Thanks for the info. Makes me accept it better.
Actually yes - Bruce Timm is behind "Killing Joke" (if memory serves) and actually while there is debate as to if the movie is canon to the old DCAU - the relationship between Barbra and Bruce has been canon since potentially 1994 ("Batgirl Returns" has at least a scene where she's dreaming of it) and while I'm 90% sure in the episodes that make up the later half of the series (post first 65) address an actual relationship between them, I know for fact that it is confirmed as canon to the old DCAU in 1999/2000 in "Batman Beyond" I think multiple times. But for sure when Talia shows up and Bruce looks at old Girlfriends - with a heavier focus on Babs.
Also - when we talk overall Joker's - Hamill's IS the definitive Joker.
Also, Penguin improved later when they really made him more just a mobster/arms dealer/etc.
And honestly - DCEU has the parts, and I actually don't need this version of Batman (actually liked that Ben went to a less insane version of Keaton's), in fact, my only issues with the bat were certain motivations and all and really,, most of it was issues with Superman. Really, WW, JL, even Squad for all it's issues of being rewritten and shot at the 11th hour show if you get somebody that actually understands the characters on even a basic level, and actually has some talent for story telling (I will give Snyder he has a way with visuals, but the rest.... not so much) - it's actually good. Most of the stuff I disliked about JL has Snyder's name written on it, though even Whedon dropped the ball a couple times.
I think Batman in My Basement was the first episode I saw
the original Joker was Tim Curry but after auditioning Hamill they made the switch and Hamill had to dub over Currys lines. Also If I remember correctly the animated test short that sold the studio on the show was actually used as the opening intro to the show.
Mystery of the batwoman also has some innuendo and that's actually in canon.
By the way, it's half the creative team for killing joke. Timm was there but Dini wasn't.
Watching this right after Kevin Conroy died is making this a sorrowful.
BTAS > every live action Batman property to date.
Mask of the Phantasm > every Batman film
yes this is where mr. Freeze got his backstory. It was never in the comics before the show.
They created Harley Quinn so perfectly, she or her chemistry with other characters is basically never altered at all.
Third Barbara has a crush on Batman for a couple seasons and after her and Dick break up they do become a thing for a while.
Lastly there really is no debate on who the best Joker is.
But side note, if you can't make something as good as with already been made then you shouldn't make anything at all.
- Batman: the Animated Series
- The Adventures of Batman & Robin
- The New Batman Adventures
🤙
Mark Hamill's Joker is by far the best Joker. No doubt in my mind about that. Great trailer you guys.
The best parts of B:TAS was the villains origin stories and the acting was amazing. Who knew that Bull from Night Court was such a great actor?
The worst was the silly, melodramatically written "I Am the Night".
Will Screen Junkies ever do an Honest Trailer for Hocus Pocus? That was a wide release movie right?
Watching this before watching the Honest Trailer because I've never seen the Batman cartoon and honestly not a huge fan of Batman but will still watch this because I want to support Screen Junkies 💕
I feel like the clue for next week is "Batman : Mask of the Phantasm".
Thanks for uploading this early. I watched it Monday :)
Tim Curry was cast as this Joker and the story as I heard it was that he got sick and couldn’t do the role. Mark Hamill had wanted to play the role but they already had a big name in Curry so he got a small one time role. When Curry couldn’t do it they gave Hamill a chance and they never looked back.
Even if they hadn't had sex in The Killing Joke, it was established that they had a relationship in Batman Beyond, which is direct canonfrom BTAS
1. Knightfall is also a story arc in the Batman comics, so you made a secret reference there.
2. 6:50 assuming Dwight and Rainn Wilson are the same age, Dwight was 26 when B:TAS premiered, so he definitely wouldn't have watched it in his youth. That said, he easily could have seen it as an adult and come to that conclusion, so I'm still headcanoning that
No World's Finest clip where Batman threw Superman across the room but we get a Bat-credit card clip instead?
It was a Superman episode
