R.i.p Kevin Conroy and Arleen Sorkin. Both were amazing in their respective roles as Batman and Harley Quinn. This was actually Arlene's last performance is Harley as she would retire from the role. I implore you to start watching the Batman animated series from the 90s on your reaction Channel I think it would do wonders for you as far as wanting to learn the iteration of the lore that most people know.
Everytime I play this series ,I always forget they are actually gone.😢 But Guess Their work & the love for them makes them forever legends. Long live the Bat ,RIP Kevin & Sorkeen.
100%
It's actually her second to last time voicing harley since she voiced her for dc universe online two years after asylum
@@greatnessmountain4750 oh okay didn't know that, I never played that game.
I was watching the Batman animated on Netflix and cried when Harley came on, such amazing voice actors
Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy the batman series!
I worked REALLY hard to edit these videos! The games are so much fun, so it made the long hours very enjoyable!
I will be carefully popping in an out of the comments to say hi and geek out, but definitely want to avoid spoilers until im done! But feel free to post RESPECTFUL tips and fun facts about characters!
I will be going through and reading about the characters since this is my first real time with DC! if you dont like it, you can skip those parts, or just click off the video and watch something else! 😊
Wow, the combat is really something else! It will take me a bit to get used to this flow, but i think i understand what they are doing with this! No more button mashing for me LOL
Enjoy some BATMAN!!! Have a great day! ❤
HELL YEAH!! Its DARK KNIGHT time!! Batman (alongwith Spiderman) is my favorite superhero!
If you want more Kevin and Mark, check out Batman Mask of the Phantasm and/or Batman Animated Series.
This is the perfect game to play if you know nothing about Batman, as there is so much lore you can pick up and read and get all the basic details and then some abiut the key characters throughout the Batman universe as well as some they made specifically for this game.
On top of that it was up until the 2018 Spider-Man game the best superhero game and is still much much better than anything before it. And lastly you get two greats repressing their roles as the two main characters from the animatrd series, Kevin Conroy as Batman who I’ll understand if you don’t know him but the Joker as you may have already guessed or found out is played by none other than Marc Hamill, that’s right, the Joker is played by Luke Skywalker!
Anyway, have a great time, this is a fantastic game!
And I see you already know about Hamill, well that’s what I get for commenting without watching first!
Hey Miranda, in this game or one of the other Classic Arkham Batman games you can play as the Joker
This games atmosphere is unmatched. The Arkham series set the standard for great superhero games and still holds up to this day. Paved the way for the incredible Insomniac Spider-Man games.
There is no atmosphere in this garbage trash remaster
Yesss
Sure is. I just wish the default brightness was lower on pc, though I guess it's not something most people think about when they start a game. Asylum really looks good on low brightness. I'm guessing that because TVs were darker in the 2000s, the game (developed for consoles) was made brighter by default to compensate.
I disagree. The Spider-Man games are very average at best. Insomniac turned out to not be fit for superhero games. Arkham Asylum and City reached the highest standard so far in superhero games. Insomniac didn't even come close to that standard, which is a cosmic shame, considering all the resources they had to make an awesome Spider-Man game(s).
@@yokotubene What do you dislike about them so much? The gameplay is fantastic isn't it? I honestly don't think you can make a better Spider-Man game. At least gameplay-wise. Like how do you make the swinging better. Also the story is really good, although it is subjecrive. I have only played the 2018 game.
Having grown up with the 90s Batman animated series(where Conroy and Hamill began voicing their respective characters), it was heartbreaking hearing about his passing. Conroy is the best Batman voice actor we've ever had(He even played a live action version of the character in the CW Arrowverse shows), Troy did a great job in the TellTale series though. Hamill's Joker is iconic, my personal favorite appearance is in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. RIP Kevin Conroy, you are the night, you ARE Batman.
Seriously, between his loss and the loss of Arleen Sorkin a few months ago (the original Harley Quinn from that show and this game, Harley actually being *based* on Arleen in one of her old roles), this game is very bittersweet to hear our beloved BTAS cast together.
@@VegetaLF7 Agreed. It would have been so much better if more actors from the animated series had voiced their respective characters in these games(like John Glover as Riddler for example) though.
@@passionsquietrageHonestly, I disagree there. Ignoring the ones that returned from TAS, I generally prefer the Arkham voice actors. John Glover is an amazing Riddler, but I think Wally Wingert is superior, same with Grey DeLisle as Catwoman, Nolan North as Penguin, Tasia Valenza as Poison Ivy, Steve Blum as Killer Croc, Dino Andrade and John Noble as Scarecrow, JB Blanc as Bane, Rick D. Wasserman as Clayface and MAYBE Peter McNicoll as Mad Hatter (not sure about that one). The other ones come close, even if they aren't the best
Roger Smith Also did a good Batman in origins
The Arkham Series is the perfect way to familiarize yourself with the lore. Every game is like an ever expanding museum of Batman history.
RIP to Kevin Conroy (Batman) and Arleen Sorkin (Harley Quinn) (the latter passed away just a few months ago)
During stealth, the glide kick is a "loud" move. It will alert enemies and draw them to the source of the sound. If you glide behind enemies and do a silent takedown, the others wont know it happened giving you time to get a full takedown and get away without being seen
The game that CHANGED the superhero genre in so many ways. With 2 of the most LEGENDARY actors themself, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil. I grew up with 90s Batman animated series as a kid. I played the entire Arkham franchise as a young teenager. And now I get to sit back, grab a beverage and observe Miranda's experience on this wonderful journey. Buckle up because you're in for a WILD RIDE. 😌
Tip: You don't have to get the upgrades in order. You can skip around. There are health upgrades and, more importantly, the inverted takedown. Extremely useful in stealth situations. It's like the perch takedowns in Spider-Man.
Inverted takedown sucks you'd think batman would come up with a better way to perform the takedown without letting the guy scream bloody murder for 3 whole seconds
You are in for a treat with this series.
@@jessewest5456 I think the whole is that the person is screaming bloody murder the whole time. Batman wants to terrify the criminals he's attacking.
I've been looking forward to this ever since you announced that you would be playing them lol
And I agree, the atmosphere of this game is so impressive.
The voice cast on this game is pretty great. Not only do we have Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamil, and Arleen Sorkin, but also Tom Cane, the voice of Yularen and Yoda in Star Wars The Clone Wars, voices Quincy Sharp in this game lol
I was 7 years old when I first played this back in 2009, this game introduced me to superhero games!
I was 15 years old when I first played this back in 2009 and this game blew me away 🤯🤘🔥🦇🦇
I was 20. damn I'm getting old lmao.
@@Hugh-Si was 10 but in my opinion the ps3/360 era had some of the best games ever made
I was 11 when it came out and only got to play a little bit of it because I didn’t own a console at the time and I played it at the library
you must have not wanted to leave that library lol.@@TheChickenlittle11
I remember in interviews that when Mark Hamill was creating the Joker voice he used elements of Claude Rains from the Invisible Man, and mixed it with the Blue Meanie from Yellow Submarine, though the 1 thing that guaranteed the role was the laugh, describing how it should feel like a musical instrument to showcase his mood, even though you can't change the words in the script you can still play around with the laugh. Though how he got the part is quite the funny story
Also when you start to play the game and move Batman around in the Intensive Treatment building when escorting the Joker to a cell, you can actually approach the asylum guards and the say 3-4 things when you walk towards them and then back up and go forth again, like when one of the guards says Bruce Wayne donated upgrades to the asylum including the scanner tunnel that way it's a much safer search inspection of inmates.
Stealth was always my favorite part of the Arkham games, with how many takedowns you can do, as well as scaring the enemies until they're terrified then they walk shaky while watching their back and front (Silent Takedown = behind a thug and press triangle) (Corner Takedown = get to corner cover and wait for a thug to walk close to the edge and press triangle) (Ledge Takedown = hang from a ledge and if you're close to a thug press triangle to pull him over the ledge) Careful some attacks are noisy so when the others hear their buddy scream, they'll run to where he was, oh and when a thug just climbed up a ladder try throwing a batarang to make him fall back down
There isn't a day that I regret picking up this game and city while living in Ottawa rip Kevin Conroy and Arlene Sorkin
I highly recommend watching Batman: The Animated Series either during this journey or after (Preferably while your going through the journey). You’ll get more of an understanding of this world (It’s somewhat a continuation of the Animated Series but not really). Honestly it’s just a great animated show that’s well worth the time. Edit and if you want I would LOVE if you made them reactions on your reaction channel. I think that would be awesome to do alongside the games. Just a thought though.
Agree
I’m a lifelong Batman fan and love these games dearly. I thoroughly enjoy watching first time plays of them especially when the player is new to Batman in general.
I’m new to your channel and your reactions to the franchise so far are everything. Super glad to have discovered this channel
Same, I just got through watching Skyytea go through the Arkham games for the first time a few months ago. She started off with the extent of her Batman knowledge being "I know what Batman looks like" and watching her become invested in the mythos across the 4 games was incredible
@@VegetaLF7 I watched hers as well!
Yay!!!! so hyped to watch this series! I hope you enjoy it! ❤🎮
Both Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, have been Batman and the Joker since the 90’s. They have been apart of so many projects together, mostly DC stuff, if Mark was hired, he would ask Kevin to be Batman, and if Kevin was hired, he would ask for Mark or he wouldn’t do the project. R.I.P Kevin the greatest Batman of all time.
Batman Arkham Asylum Let's Fucking Go ! I couldn't wait to finally check this out 🤘🔥, Batman Arkham Asylum is truly special because if the Insomniac Spider-Man games is the modern day gold standard for superhero games then the Rocksteady Batman games is the gold standard of yesteryear that paved the way, the Batman Arkham Games walked so the Insomniac Spider-Man Games could run.
Omg, you’re in for a treat!! This series is incredible with some of the best voice acting for Batman, Joker and Harley Quin. RIP Kevin Conroy, the best of them are…..
Yeah it’s my favorite video game franchise
Harly Quinn's first comic book appearance was in 1999, but her actual first appearance was in the Batman: The Animated Series cartoon in the early 1990's. I believe the first episode with her aired in 1992.
Even though Harley first appeared in the comics in 1999, her first appearance was in Batman The Animated Series, which premiered in 1992.
One aspect I always loved about DC comics is there fictional cities. Gotham City is such a unique setting, a hybrid of Gothic Revival and Art Deco with a very timeless aesthetic that was heavily featured in Tim Burtons Batman and then carried over into the comics and Animated Series. There's retro inspired Adverts that visually look like something from the 1940s. We have a mix of tech with alot of the more modern tech like cameras still having a retro vibe to it. Vehicles have retro feels to them as well, more so in the later games. It just feels like a city trapped in time. Then you have Metropolis the home of Superman. An Art Deco City of Tomorrow that looks stunning with a more 1950s spin on everything.
Marvel does have fictional locations but America is basically the same as our real world. I do like how real location like New York have Marvel themed landmarks, something I find really cool. But for me DC benefits heavily by having a bunch of cool fictional American cities. Arkham Asylum really has no focus on Gotham itself, even Gotham in the background looks okay. But Arkham City and more so Arkham Knight features an amazing Gotham City. Arkham Origins as well.
Oh and don't forget about blimps. Can't believe I forgot to mention Blimps, stable of Gotham City that sadly have never made it into any of the films. I feel like the DC films have really dropped the ball on fictional cities, looks so boring and basic beyond The Batman. Hopefully James Gunn goes all in on Gotham, Star City, Metropolis, Keystone, Central City etc. Enough with making Gotham and Metropolis just look like alternate New Yorks.
Another good way to get introduced to Batman is by watching "Batman the Animated Series". It's not 100% "comic book accurate", but it's incredible. Many interpretations of Batman since have been influenced by the animated series, such as the character of Harley Quinn being originally created for the animated series and has subsequently added into comic book as an actual character.
11:21 “BECAUSE IM BATMAN!!!!”
IYKYK
For combos, when Bat goes flying towards an enemy to hit him while he is in motion you can already redirect the next direction towards the next enemy and hit the attack button or counter button to chain a never ending cycle of combo hits. I was once a master at this and had almost a thousand hit combo. As you get more moves you can incorporate those too. Like the circle bat swipe. Doesn't add a combo "hit", stuns the enemy, but also won't break the combo cycle either. The key is not really to button mash be just be precise, cool, calm and collected and make sure you counter (triangle) any enemy about to hit you so they don't stop your combo chains.
You're in for a treat.
Also if you'd like a nice companion reaction series idea I'd suggest watching Batman the Animated Series. It would be good to see where Conroy and Hamil got their starts with the characters.
Wait, now that I hear Hammel, I suddenly remembered, he also used to do the voice for a character from an old cartoon called Time Squad. He played a robot called Larry 3000. Man that`s a long time ago. Let`s see how he does the Joker, seeing as he`s the original voice actor.
Aww I'm so happy you're playing the Arkham games now. These games are legitimately GOATed. I looove these games. The lore, the atmosphere, the music, everything.
Gotta say ,Seeing how u cheerfully reacting to the moments of this game like a kid ,reminds me my very first days when I started playing this wonderful series. Back then ,More than combat ,What I had trouble on learning was Stealth. Remember I was got quickly detected in AC brotherhood. This series taught me how to master it. From then ,Always able to stealth out in The prequels of this & AC Games etc. Bet U will learn something out of this series That will help playing future games too. Good luck being the bat.🦇🎮
I’m so happy you’re finally delving into these games. All four of them were my favorites during high school and still some of my favorites overall. It’s a shame though that you couldn’t get to Origins this month since it’s actually a Christmas game, but I’m just grateful that you’re getting into DC now. Hopefully you delve into the movies and shows over on the react channel. For the first movie I highly recommend Superman 1978 for your first movie, and Batman The Animated Series for the first show.
Really?! That is a bummer, but I'm sure it will be awesome regardless!
@@TheMirandalorian omg thanks for the reply!! lol But yeah it’s very underappreciated (especially by Warner Bros who refuse to remaster it😒) I actually make it a tradition to play it every year
@@TheMirandalorian hey there just here to recommend Batman Mask of the Phantasm (1993) and Batman Assault on Arkham (2014) for your movie reaction channel, keep up the good work.

So excited for you to play this series. It's really something special. I hope you have a ton of fun :)
10:36 Killer Croc's name is Waylon Jones and he isn't an actual crocodile or a mutant. He was a regular person born with a degenerative condition that slowly made him look like a crocodile. Waylon isn't supposed to be a literal giant crocodile man but a guy suffering from a severe skin condition that made him look like one.
I am SO excited for this new gameplay! After watching your Spider-Man play throughs, I can’t wait to see how you enjoy this series. I love watching people discover franchises I love when they have nearly no previous knowledge. Watching you discover new things about each villain and their stories is so much fun!!!
23:53 If you wanted to know, Barbara Gordon who is the daughter of Jim Gordon was Batgirl and a crime fighter along with Batman, Nightwing and others. In the comics Joker rings the doorbell and when Barbara opens the door he shoots and paralyzes her and then two of his goons beat Jim in front of her. After they knock him out, Joker then proceeds to remove all of Barbara's clothes and strip he naked in order to take pictures of her in agony and kidnaps her father. He takes Jim to a run-down amusement park, where he cages him in the park's freak show. He forces Gordon to view blown-up photos of a wounded Barbara, lying nude on the floor after the shooting. He then puts Gordon on display before the park's freaks, ridiculing him as "the average man", a weakling doomed to insanity
OMG I can't tell you how happy hearing you will be doing the whole series makes me! Looking forward to this!! :) :)
Enjoyed this video so much.🥰 Right off the bat your intro was really great (the mimic of Alfred was on point).👏🏼 What makes this even better is seeing it through the eyes of someone that doesn’t know Batman.🤔Your reactions and expressions are the best part of this playthrough.🤗When a game makes you the player move your head to look around the corner, it’s automatic win for the game cause you’re in it.🥳 Thx Miranda🦇🃏😃
OOOOOHHHH girl this is gonna be an amazing playthrough for you! This is such an awesome series! Thank you for sharing this experience with us!!!!
It feels like I've been looking waiting for this series for so long 😂
I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
Such a great episode, i love your excitement and enthusiasm when you play games
Legit just found your channel through this video, and now I plan on watching your all 4 of your batman arkham playthroughs. It is very rare to see the process of somebody learning to love Batman! So I am buckled up and ready!
After Arkham series, Telltale's Batman episodes is a next must play series! 👌
Watching the video, 'cause I absolutely love this game. Love how you seem so surprised to discover the characters origins, the game mechanics, and everything else. Love you!
Finally, you are playing Batman. Been waiting for this playthrough.
Exploring the Arkham Videos right now, it’s so awesome to see someone experiencing this franchise for the 1st time again, absolutely love the content, and I know this is on the first Arkham Video but keep it up!
It’s great to see you discovered this awesome game. I’ve have played and replayed this one many times over the last 14 years. Enjoy the next 3 entries in this game saga.
I’m so hyped for this! Looking forward to this series 😁
Hey Miranda! It’s great you’re finally checking out these games! They really capture the vibe of being Batman! A couple tips:
1. Yes, some of the collectibles are inaccessible until you get the proper tools (which you will eventually get as you play). Thankfully, this game is fairly open-world, so you can usually backtrack to the previous areas to get those goodies.
2. Also, when you purchase upgrades, you can scroll left and right to choose the upgrade you want. Some of the upgrades improve Batman’s health or defense, so be sure to check them out!
That being said, I also recommend checking out Telltale’s Batman games also. They’re smaller and less complicated, but still worth checking out after you finish the Arkham series (which I know will take a while).
Looking forward to this playthrough series!
Bruh.
You’ll realize how much inspiration the Spider-Man games took from the Arkham games.
These were my favorite for years and years.
I’ll be watching every got dang Arkham video you publish.
So glad you are starting this series. Also as I saw in your Spider-man play through I love how you take the time with the bios and clues. I think you should go for the platinum the rewards for completing them are satisfying.
The fact that you don’t know much about Batman makes me really excited to see where this Playthrough goes! What a great story to start your Batman experience on!
@2:57 had me cracking up 😂😂 “if you want this game played right, download it on yo console and play it yo self homie”
Always a treat watching someone new playing the Batman Games
Very excited for this entire series! You're in for a trip.
this series is amazing !! my first intro to batman and led me down my OWN personal batman journey haha
I've been looking forward to this! Can't wait!
The bit at the beginning when you're talking about how you don't really know anything about Batman and warning people to click off of the video did the opposite for me because I have been searching for someone who plays through all 4 games but also doesn't know enough about Batman to spoil the story for themself. This is actually my perfect scenario, so thank you so much! I'll be watching through all of your Batman: Arkham content and I'll also be subscribing to your channel since you seem really nice and make great content.
11:05
Love how Miranda just turns around real quick like "who me?" 😂
This series has a special place in my heart. I loved all of them, even origins that wasn't the best according to internet.
1:01:00 -- this would have been a great place for the upgrade Inverted Takedown. You don't have to get the upgrades in the order that they appear. You can scroll forward to whatever looks good Speaking of which, the armor upgrade is also needed, early on.
Once you have Riddler involved, scan EVERYTHING. You'll run into one of the answers at some point.
Yeah Miranda I'm a Batman comic book fan and I'm really pleased that
you are going to be playing the Batman games starting with Arkham Asylum and I'm here for part one and
watching onwards so have fun with the Batman games you are the very greatest and Thank You Miranda.
🦇🦇🦇🦇
As someone who has been playing these games on repeat since they came out, it's always so exciting to watch someone new to the games and the world experience them. Your sheer glee exploring the world building and gameplay is palpable!
Asylum is my favorite. In my opinion it by far has the best story and it's gameplay did truly set the bar for superhero games in its day. (Arguably City has the best gameplay but, I have a nostalgic fondness for Asylum lmao. It's probably the game I've played to 100% completion the most out of any game I've ever played xD)
Excited to come with you on this journey!
I've just discovered your fun walkthroughs, as someone not to good at gaming, it great to see your way of starting the game. Hopefully by time I watch your Arkham Knight series I will have finally completed that 1
This game will forever be special to me because it was my 1st Platinum trophy and I wasn't even going for it, just when I was almost finished with NG+ I noticed I only had like 4 or 5 more to go to get the platinum so I was like I might as well go for it.
City was the hardest for me to Platinum and Knight is my proudest 100% Platinum because theres 110 trophies in all.
HOOO BOY, you’re in for a ride with this one! Hope to see you go through it all the way to Arkham Knight. If you’re not a Batman fan by the end of it, you never will be, because this is peak and will immerse you DEEP into Batman lore. You’ll DEFINITELY have a PHD in Batmanology (totally didn’t just make that one up)
The game tell you Harley's first comic appearance, but she first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series in 1992, as a one shot that returned because of fans. Also that Series is where Mark started his Joker.
I just finished this game myself over Thanksgiving break and immediately went into Arkham City. Super excited to watch you play it!
I’m so hyped for this series
I laughed so hard at the situation and your reaction to Batman punching who you thought was a guard you just rescued 😂
Heey Mirandalorian I am so glad you are introducing yourself to my and many of ours Chidlhood fav game series also R.I.P to Kevin Conroy THE Batman
Really enjoyed this video after it was recommended to me on my feed 😁this series is one of my favourites that I've played 💯
This is one of the best games ever made. Probably the best joker rendition ever made as well. Comic accurate.
Not sure which of these games it twas, but i had record scores for some of the extra content that you could do. The never ending fight battle arenas. And the timed takedown areas. That woulda been like 15 years ago. Thinking it was arkham city that had it.
Yes. Please read everything and search for stuff.
Yay one of my favorite games! Can’t wait to see this series
I can't wait I will be watching from beginning to end! I love these games sooo much 😊🦇
Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill were made legendary due to their awesome voice acting in Batman The Animated Series back in the 90s. It’s one of the shows I grew up with and it was such a great nostalgia trip when they came back to reprise their respective roles in this game. Batman Origins is the only game in this series I don’t really care for since they didn’t voice their characters.
Im currently playing the first game too! Excited to watch your playthrough
Yes! Let's go. You're gonna love these games, they're so good.
I’ve never been a fan of Batman as a superhero but I will be watching every Batman play through regardless because of how entertaining you are.
You’re in for a treat, I’m definitely going to be giving a lot of hints how to be a strong Batman combatant , this series is my top favorite of all time , I’m happy and glad you are playing it🦇🃏hope you enjoy
26:11 Zsasz is a serial killer who cuts tally marks into himself to count his victims.
So excited for this play through I remember playing this game. I’m going to miss Kevin Conroy as well RIP to him.
"His name is Bruce and he has a butler named Michael Cain." Wow, for the past 34 years I have thought the butler's name was Michael Gough. You learn something new every day.
Rest in Peace Kevin Conroy. He will always be the definitive Batman to me. Before he passed he was openly gay, making him one of the first LGBT actors to portray Batman. He talked about how he drew upon his experiences of hiding his queerness to portray Bruce Wayne and how he hides his Batman persona. A true legend
I always thought those dentures sound like a skeleton that’s pointing and laughing at me, which was my motivation to get them all
So excited to see you play these games. they are so good and influential! Mark Hamill did the Joker on seasons and season of Batman the animated series and many of the DC animated movies. Great stuff
I 100% this game a few years ago and it was so fun, I think you're gonna have a great time with this series lol
Just like the GOW series, I'm gunna fully follow this journey! Batman rules!
Honestly This girl needs more subs keep it up❤️
Just found ur channel and I love it I just got the Arkham games on the switch n I played them on the Xbox with im remembering a lot n loving them so much
I’m very happy you are playing this series. It’s essential playing. 😊
52:20 if you collected all of them and heard the tapes, all Ill say is Rocksteady captured the feel and the horror of an Asylum! The more you delve deeper into the lore it gets haunting, like it’s a real story that could or did happen in real life.
Just stumbled onto this and I'm already enjoying this simply for the fact that you read the bios all the way and appreciate the history these characters have under their belt. I dunno if you cut out where you read them all, but if you did, its a shame because I really like seeing people learning about the Batman mythos through these games.
The Arkham games are filled with so much detail that you won't notice unless you go out of your way to discover them whether its context clues around the map, dialogue that's easily missable, lore stuff etc.
Funny thing about 46:24. There's a Batman villain named Catman who was one of the few who fought him to a standstill and would eventually form his own group consisting of himself, Deadshot, Scandal Savage, Knockout, Rag Doll II, Bane and King Shark that would fight both heroes and villains. Even when he was considered a joke, Batman always respected the man and when Batman was thought to be dead, Catman, Bane and Rag Doll came to Gotham to help quell the riots and criminals taking advantage of his absence.
I love these games so much and getting a hang of the freeflow combat is tricky to begin with but I'm sure you'll get into the swing of things soon enough.
Since you are playing this game, you might consider watching the following two films on your reaction channel:
1. Batman (1989)
This is the movie that inspired the game's aesthetic. It is the first modern Batman movie, courtesy of Tim Burton. While it is not quite an origin story for the hero, it does pick up at the end of Batman's first month as a crime fighter.
2. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
This animated movie coincided with the first season of the popular animated series that followed the release of Tim Burton's two films. It features Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as Batman and the Joker, respectively.
If you are interested in exploring the character further, you could also check out Batman: Under the Red Hood and Batman: The Killing Joke, two direct adaptations of popular comic stories.
Just a fun thing to tell, I do impressions, and mark hamills joker is one I do. I used to work retail and that character is a voice I made in-store announcements as, I would even joke around when I was in the hospital and I would skip down the hall singing in that voice "jingle bells, Batman smells, robin laid an egg. The bat mobile lost its wheel and I got away hahahaha.
You’re amazing. I love watching your videos, they keep me company, I live at home alone
I love this game You're gonna have so much fun with this one finding all the hidden riddler stuff. And scarecrow I've said to much. (Fades in the shadows)
To this day anytime i read comics when i read batman and the joker, its always Kevin and Mark.
So happy I get to binge all of this :)
RIP Kevin Conroy 🕊❤🙏
