Arkham, a place of healing? Arguably the biggest joke in this whole episode. XD
THANK YOU! Finally someone noticed I said that
Comicstorian I realize too but i think you mean what it is supposedly be.
Didn't batman find out joker's name in the animated series?
Carl Bloke the animated series isn't cannon So it's didn't happen
dragon bolt12 can't say it's not canon
The part when joker showed them their fake faces were cut off. Joker:ITS JUST A PRANK BRO
Lel
lmfao I laugh to hard
It would totally make sense if Sam Pepper was Joker
😂😂😂omg
ITS JUST A PRANK BRO!!!!!BRO ITS JUST A PRANK!!!!!
since R rated superhero movies are now popular we should make this story an R rated batman movie to show how truly twisted the joker is
You’re wish is our command.
lol
@@pianoif specifically THIS story in a animated film.
Well, I think a X-rating would be better. Makes an R rating look like a G rating.
If THE BATMAN is rated R and becomes a great success.......then yes we might see that soon
Something to be said about the end is that when his face fell off, a girl in the sewers found it, sewed it on to her face and declared herself the joker's daughter.
Nah that happened long before this. His face was cut off in Detective Comics around the start of the new 52. Jokers Daughter (the name she goes by) found it then. Her origin is up on the channel
Oh, thx
pinkhedgehogs forever
Ana N Duela dent , i fucking love her 💚
Ana N that is pretty crazy
Ok I understand why Batman won't kill joker but realistically, how has no one else killed him? More specifically Jason Todd. He's had ages chances to kill him if he so saw fit
He attempted it in batman under the redhood
+MrAdaj76 yeah I saw, but realistically, why not prior to? Bit of a plot hole but either or.
Batman basically lets people die
+1010ryuzaki true
+1010ryuzaki I think its more like killing the joker would be one of the most unforgivable things Jason could do by Bruce's standards and I think Jason still wants to be a part of the family even if he doesnt admit it.
This is literally one of the scariest Joker stories. A lot of people think the joker is the ones from the movies. He's not, he's dark, darker than any other character imaginable
This is the first time when I was ACTUALLY terrified of any kind of character. Like he’s already a Psychopath It’s worse that he made a Prank like that
@Sean Emzeey And also injustice and the dark knights metal
@@seanconstantine9966and also Batman Arkham asylum a serious house on a serious earth
this what make joker the best villain ever
Good to hear can't wait to buy this.
Oh good I'm not the only one who thinks this
Joker is the best of Gotham and lex is the best of metropolis
Probably the best dc character
+TheGothamKnight Buy what?
There's true insanity, then there's Joker
then there's Harley quinn,then there's that 1 guy from Tokyo ghoul who wanted to eat kaneki while he ate his friend,there are so many villains beyond insanity
*Cough* The Batman Who Laughs
Anf then there is the batman who laughs
Dean Ambrose is crazier than all
@@ghostofdeath7388 The Batman Who Laughs just make Joker annoyed. Joker's greteast fear. Blue Naked M A N.
The Killing Joke, Death In The Family and Endgame should be the Batfleck Trilogy
That's a good idea and stitches so well together
How about Death in The Family/Under the Red Hood mashup, then Death OF the Family and then Endgame? Oh yeah, and they should cut out Damian Wayne and put in Tim Drake instead.
The killimg joke already happened in batfleck, you can see robins suit and on the suit is writen "jokes on you batma. "
Stormtrooper Hondo That's not the Killing Joke. That's Death in the Family.
no, death in the family, death of the family and endgame
why is this not a movie
Great question
their is going to be a movie soon
+FaZe Turtle seriously????
+manIMbluex99 yeah since killing joke just happened it's going to be this I think
+FaZe Turtle well DC's next film continues the new 52 series with justice league dark as their next film.
Don't know why I watched this when I have the comic sitting next to me?
if i bought all those seperate comic's ,, i'd be broke
+QueenBritney They recently put them all together in a novel. It's on Amazon for like $16.
Easier to hear
THE V O I C E
Too lazy to read it?
Jesus this is so fudged up . . . . PLEASE MAKE THIS A MOVIE
Fudged?
+Duncetron Or messed up
+SirGrandStoke You see I took a picture of the cop who was abusing his power beating me and now I can't find him so I use this picture to warn people lol
Lol it'd be rated R😱
Jeez kid scared of swearing much
This is the Joker i want to see on the big screen.... i want to have nightmares after seeing him in a real life movie
Yes!
It's called the dark knight
+Alex Mansfield (Alrex) nah he did not gave me nightmares but definitely chills
The new Joker that will come in the Suicide Squad may do the trick.
Nick Bleker guess not
13:55 Dang Wonder Woman! You let yourself go
LoL
jc72la5stout thats not Wonder Woman, its a member of the Arkham staff dressed as Wonder Woman, werent you paying attention?
EMinor youve obviously never heard(or read) a joke, especially one under false assumption, get beaten into the ground, did you? its not a pretty sight....
EMinor youre not gonna argue, but youre bating. yeah, I love you too, man
+696190 you're fuking dumb kid
And then they said that Harley is more fearless and crazy than the Joker (Suicide Squad)
Στέλιος Μοσχόπουλος ik right?!! Joker fell into an other level of insanity!!!?
malakies !joker for life mouniaaaa
It is true because if it's not, Harley would have abandoned Joker years ago
I really don't think so, especially in the new 52, where Harley's an anti hero and Joker's practically a hell demon trapped in clown's body
No she isn't not even close.
Always hated how Nightwing became Red because I thought their was too much Red in the bat family I’m glad he’s blue again
at some point I think conic writer's are extremely disturbed
Klerical Output they're all a little fucked up to write what they write XD
or joker wrote the script himself
The necessities of being a successful conic book writer
Snyders awesome
🤮
Even as a huge fan of the Batman mythos, Death of the Family caught me off guard in a way I never saw coming.
Read Batman Endgame.Terryfying.
Grant Turner oh really? How about killing joke? Barbara gets raped and abused by joker.
Sahib Yes, you are right. He instead paralysed her and showed Jim nude pictures of her.
This is one of my fav batman storylines, this is what joker is all about,
Kikyo0Takarai sms world. didn't expect to see you here. I am a big fan of your vidoes
hehehe Thanks! Im a big Batman fan so here I am :D
Kikyo0Takarai iam a huge Batman fan make this a movie
16:24 I love how Batman ensures that his own son is ok and hugs him afterward. It really shows that even though they have a rocky relationship as father and son, they still love each other no matter what.
You know I'm starting to notice a trend with Batman stories. In his solo stories he actually comes of as human, a man that can be hurt, outplayed and beaten to a certain extent, he's got flaws that actually makes me want to like him. But in team-up stories, it feels like they overplay him, make him sound godlike, got no flaws and he can do anything he wants, survive anything he wants, beat anyone. I mean the fact that he supposedly can dodge the beams of Darkseid sounds like pishpos, that is something even Superman have problems dodging.
Well they need to or he's irrelevant, despite being the biggest DC seller. But he explains it well with one line in the books. He basically says that Superman is great for world-ending villains like Brainiac and Darkseid, but that nobody else could handle villains like Joker. It was something like that. In that explanation, he's basically saying that nobody else has the level of detective skills he does. The others are more or less meat-heads who can throw a punch by comparison. After all, "World's Greatest Detective" basically means "world's greatest thinker".
That pretty much one of the reasons I love Batman Eternal
Well in team up stories it's not like he beats up super mans villains with his bare hands. He uses other means to to beat them. That's why he is cool. And besides I think batman has the hardest villains to beat than superman since him being a mortal and stuff.
That's what happens when you mix all the DC comics into 1. Character get buffed and nerfed so they can co-exist.
Raidoton All DC?
comic logic: kills thousands. doesn't get executed.
ikr
It's like that in European countries Except in America.
Joseph K Last time I checked America wasn't a European country. Last time I checked, multiple European countries have the death penalty.
They would bring back firing squad style execution just for him.
MrEvilDucky innocent by reason of insanity
Death of The Family should be Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns' first Batman movie.
It should be the second or third imo. What makes this story so special is that it showed how much the joker has changed, after a period of time. Jared Leto is very much a joker living everyday in he DC universe. I think establishing that as a character first is important. Have him in a hanibal lector type role in the first batman movie then have him escape, then disappear for over a year or something then come back different and with a motive
Purnell Collins it would not make sense
Purnell Collins ooooo. Yikes
Ben affleck is a lame ass Batman
Oof.
Scott Snyder is a hell of an author
Robert White opposite time zack Snyder😂
@Among us imagine commenting on a 1 year comment he won’t respond
@@ramonmartinez9609 funny considering Scott recently praised Zack on not following typical superhero movie formula
Greg is one hell of an artist.
Holy shit this Joker is creepy as fuck I like this.
JESUS CHRIST! Where's Adam West when you need him to lighten things up?
LOL
This aged terribly
I think the scariest thing about this story is not the murders or mutalation, but the haunting fact the joker could have known their identities the whole time; through every fight and chase, could have always known...
It shouldn't be called bat family because almost all of them are birds
FIELD DOVE there is actually an equal amount of birds and bats, if you are talking about this story
And the one who started this WAS the BAT. Since he’s supposedly dead, doesn’t that mean Dick becomes the oldest? And hence the family becomes a Bird flock?
Naw batman's the patriarch so they go by bat family
I had a lot of fun making this one, I hope I creep out at least one of you... Time to move into more Spiderman, Green Lanterns and some more origins! Also I wanted to ask, is this newer joker a bit too twisted for you?
Not at all. Between this and ENDGAME, Joker seems like a force of twisted pure evil. Really dig it. Though theres always a place for a more cartoony Mark Hamill Joker.
You creeped the fugh out of me. Great video
Can you please make a kindom come video.please
plez do civil war :)
Well that was fucked up. More please! XD
16:35 "ITS JUST PRANK BRO"
lol
The ending😂😂😂 *The chemical compound HA* 😂😂
Slee L ikr it was so dark then I imagine someone like lol nice
The music at 8:11 really does add to the whole horror theme of this story and just how twisted and insane the Joker really is.
my buddy just told me about your videos there so awesome keep making more
+Sergio Olide Will do thanks for watching!
+Comicstorian WOO HOO
+Comicstorian sup
I have an idea for your intro. Create an animated scene were you are swinging around the city
OK I'm sorry but what the fuck?!
***** this is pretty messed up
Try reading Batman:Endgame.It has a bunch of creepy twists that made me feel uncomfortable.
the killing joke is pretty fucked Aswell
Ha for acid in chemistry, thats genius.
Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill has to voice their characters if there ever will be a death of the family movie 😭
Well it’s a movie out now
@@picassojulien899 oh come on what's jokers real name I bet it's Joe chill I'm sure of it
This is by far my favorite joker story so far
I read this story line and I never really understood, did joker actually get into the batcave to leave the card?
No he was always playing mind games. However in the current story endgame he knows batmans secret Identity
How did he get the card into the bat cave?
Danyal Javaid maybe he had some scotch tape?
Edward Rabbit but how did he know where the batcave is?
This'd make for a great Batman movie for Affleck, IMO.
+Javelin I ship it!!!!!!!
It would definitely be r-rated
+Aneruddha Yadav it should definitely be!
Aneruddha Yadav But still awesome.
isn't it too early for that
Can you imagine if they made this, and the killing joke, into feature films? That wld be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Facts!
+lord harambe I don't think it wld suck as a real feature film
killing joke is already a movie
@Bin Chicken they need to do a remake or something. It was really disappointing.
@@randomrocketsfan3298 Yeah without that weird Batman and Batgirl romance.
This has to be one of Joker's most well elaborate schemes ever.
Joker's real name = Joe Kerr
His real name is Jack Napier
Hyena Hammock he’s kidding you know
That real his real name is
Joker no he’s not
Abdoulaye Dieng then ya’ll idiots
You know, in the end, The Joker sorta did kill the Bat Family. They no longer trust him, no longer want to be associated with him. The things he fights for, the things he holds most and makes him stronger, distrust him and hate him for not telling them these things. That's what really hit me. Not the Joker. SPOILERS Not the Bat Families fake faces on trays, but the fact Batman is now alone. Sure, they may make up later ( I have no idea) but right now, he has nobody left. No parents. No surrogate family. Just himself. Exactly the way the Joker wanted him to be.
not really, i found this story pretty much a waste of time. alfred is still supporting him, same with dick. barbara, jason and tim may avoid him for the moment, but they cant just turn away from him. in endgame for example, they all fight by his side again and so forth.
+Storm Rage That's the beauty of the Joker, he wins although it seems he lost. In the Dark Knight Movie for example, he proved that deep down we're all like him by corrupting Harvey Dent, his goal was to prove it to Batman not the city. And in endgame for example his goal was to kill Batman, and although bruce ,was revived, he is no longer Batman (for now), and in the killing Joke once again while failing to drive Gordon insane he arguably drove Batman to break his one rule or at least make Batman laugh. The Joker always wins.
laz kar Yeah but eventually he's sort of right. You're right, he does frequently lose, but he usually wins ideologically when the writers are smart enough to mention his point of view. Besides, in Arkham City Jokers death sort of drove Bruce insane in Arkham Knight which is one of if not the main goal of the Joker. Meaning I should rephrase myself and say: He frequently wins ideologically.
laz kar Maybe I am him........ HEE HEE HEE HOO HOO HA HA HA
Declan Tagye vchcd
I love this story, because, it's dark, and every scheme the Joker pulls is like a really, really demented joke, and although being really f-ed up, he still remains silver-age-y in which he has a handbuzzer and all, this needs to either be a live action movie in Reeve's trilogy (Although it probably won't be), Or an animated film with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. And he's like all three ages of the Joker, Criminal Mastermind (Golden Age), Clown and Jokester with some gag gadgets (Silver Age), Psychopathic Serial Killer/ Terrorist (Bronze/Modern Age).
this was actually pretty creepy! well done comicstorian!
If they made a story arc in which Batman just kills the joker and decides to drop his stupid no killing rule that would be amazing.
Yeah,but if they did that,One no more Batman comics,regardless of your favorite villain,if joker per mantelet died,so would the batman series.Also everybody would ask why he couldn't kill other people
Marcus Hall Probably already have. But that also kind of ruins the point of Batman.
Marcus Hall Its made, its a graphic novel called The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller
Gadriel Guevara *Joker killed himself in TDKR.*
Marcus Hall I'm pretty sure he already did, they both laughed together while Batman was holding him and then he snapped Joker's neck, I never read it but I did see pictures of the panels
Joker always gets the last laugh...
“ ..But Batman knows this place it is the caves outside of the batcave...” So the batcave is inside another batcave?? Or is there another batcave outside the batcave that Batman already has? I thought the bat cave was underneath Wayne Manor??
*brain overloads from too many caves*
18:59 Awww Jason and Barbara are holding hands.
Seriously batman. I know your morals and everything but CANT YOU JUST KILL THE JOKER
+Card Legends Then Joker would win
+Card Legends Joker pushed himself off of Batman and down the waterfall to die, so technically Joker killed himself but with all the damage he did he was going to get executed anyway so really nothing happened just joker didn't have to go through the torture. Meh yeah
+Paul Francis Goneda If you kill Bin Laden, the terrorists win? That argument is the kind of thing you write for a 4 year old, which I suppose comics are sometimes.
+Eric Ling You clearly don't understand the relationship between Batman and the Joker.
Well Batman does lose control and breaks the jokers neck in the Dark Knight Returns animated film... 😕 Joker said that he won because he made Batman lose control.
This gave me more creeps than The Killing Joke. loved your narration btw!
How TF did he catch Damian!!!! He was raised by the league of assassins and batman
T.W.O Gaming dude it's fucking Joker,fucking Joker
Bullshit plot
T.W.O Gaming ikr how did he even manage to catch nightwing or any member of the bat family? Not even a bunch of thugs can do it but Joker can all by himself? bullshit.
well. if he can fight joker he can fight his sons
Joker is smart.even Superman doesn't want to go against him because joker can outsmart Superman like how batman can outsmart Superman.
Now i know why every villain in DC is scared of the joker.
Always been a Marvel guy but damn: Batman is an amazing hero and series. The Joker is one of my favorite villains.
Same, Batman is like the only interesting character in DC !
@@z7983 I feel sad at your lack of reading about characters. Stay in your shell.
@@davidc. I feel sad at your lack of understanding of how opinions work
@@z7983 yeah batman and joker of course
Same
The music really makes the story better
How cool would this be as a animation movie
Spider- teen13 “cool”
Anything is possible.
TheUnethicalGamer half the theater for super hero movies is filled with kids a live action movie won’t ever happen a straight to dvd animated movie is our only hope
Pikachu I will make my 8 year old daughter would i I’m worried for her
@@wecomingforyoucolbylopez9393 if Joker made it as a R-rated movie then a death of the family won't be that bad, I mean deadpool, Logan and other comicbook movies are also the proof
This was amazing I love how twisted the joker is and I also love how the most twisted man can be broken by saying just a few words ....and if this were a movie I know so many people would watch it this was really great 🔥
I love this story, it's such a big Joker moment and it really shows how unpredictable and insane he can be
No it just shows how much of a plot fucktard he is
@@ghostofdeath7388 umm...🤷 Ok
Who's that sexy clown?
Why joker why
harley quinn?
Yes Man SHUt THe FUCK up
Oh hello other Yes Man
This was the darkest and scariest I've ever seen the Joker
You could say the chemical compound Ha, could be known as the element of surprise! Ba dum tss
The new 52 joker is messed up and pure evil......he's like a horror movie serial killer.........What happened to DC comic books. 85% of DC fanboys loves DC because of batman and now you guys are fucking up the joker....He's use to be a likable villain a guy who had One bad day and made him turn into a psychopath but still has that sad man wishing everything will be OK by laughing it OFF..He's character was unique villain but now he's just another typical crazy serial killer who creeps everyone out.
That's the whole point of the Joker. He someone that you cannot understand and cannot reason with. He is a lunatic that does things because he thinks it's funny. That's what separates him from your average from your average thug. Also that is what makes him scary because he's very unpredictable and you don't know much about him other than the schemes he tries pull to prove his point . I mean we are talking about a guy that kills people for no reason just because he can.
Grace Randolph from Beyond The Trailer and Think About The Inks explains this perfectly, and it is due to the fact that ever since his first appearance the Joker is a reflection of the current era's horror movies, and ever since the late 90s one of the bigger trends in horror are serial killers
I really like how scary he is though now
Exactly and I love it! If anybody thought they knew the Joker then they did the right thing having him darker. Keep him unpredictable. I'm ready to see what he does next
Guys I know joker is a serial killer...But without doubt this guy became even more creepy....the funny thing is..... In the original joker storyline, Joker wasn't even scary at all matter fact I loved watching fuck up batmans but now he keeps me chills and shit.
Just imagine this story line to become a movie it would fall in sync with the current story line of dawn of justice prequel!!!
9:57 i thought barbara was paralyzed.😲😲😲😲😲
She got deparalized
This is new 52 so she is deparalized
I think the killing joke joker is the best anyone? I mean this joker is just fucked (ik joker is suppose to be fked up but I mean really this is just more fked up than usual)
he had been pushed to the edge
Idk, the killing joke is good, but this one comes close to being my favorite. The joker scares me in this one becuz he has lost his mind so much and is so far out there. I mean, he cuts his own face off, that's pretty brutal lol
+Blanca Rowell same here. All for the sake of proving a point. I actually like this version of the joker because he is much intellectual and comes off as deeper. He isn't simply crazy for the sake of crazy. There's a method to his madness which makes the character really interesting
I know that's wat makes him awesome
i used to not like this joker( cause of the face thing) then I read endgame and this version of the joker became my favorite( especially in endgame where hes done playing around)
6:08 batmans got the googly eyes
Degel Kerfuffle put googly eyes on every character. That be funny
This was amazing. You did a great job narrating this!
I cam from work and was interested in Batman Endgame but someone told to watch this video , I was glued to my seat , its raining like hell , thunder and lighting and this was so riveting, you managed to put me on the edge of my seat , fantastic , keep doing more , you have a great ability to paint a picture with your voice.
this is like the darkest story of both batman and joker.plus batman losinghis family is a bad thing for him but at least they didn't got killed or worse not turned into joker's puppeds
Joker is a genius but insane
That beginning with Harley scared me
Sir you just made my day. I read the comics before, it was brilliant, but hearing you read it and bring it to life is so so much more awesome!
dude this the best comic that you've ever done comicstorian, keep up the good work
Didnt Bruce Wayne visit arkham and told joker he was batman but joker ignored him?
That's my favourite bit.
true but he was able to explain the point of that scene without the flashback so I guess it's okay to skip it
Didnt tell him, merely indicated with the batvoice
Ariff Amat He just told him that had found something that he believed "belongs to you"... the Joker knew Batman was there but without his suit/costume so did not want to look back to see who Batman was underneath the mask because it wouln't be funny (or not as funny as is without knowing Batman's identity or his) anymore.
Sweet Jesus, this was the darkest DC had gone with the Clown Prince of Crime at the time. The horror was on point for this series.
Still by far the best video on this channel imo! Love everything about the story and your delivery of it♥️
You really bring the intensity of this story to life with your voice acting. I was actually a bit scared at certain times! Nice job!
OK, A LOT scared, especially that dinner scene. Very impressive indeed
This should never be a movie only a comic i thought the killing joke was messed up but this yes the most messed up comic in the universe like if agree 👍
holy shit joker went to a really dark path
At 15:36 you can just see how done batman is with the still of his eye. I love how the artist for the batman comics can convey so much emotion and meaning in just one pannel
only reason batman hasn't broken his rule and killed joker is because batman needs the joker lowkey
Yea definitely
i wonder if we will ever know who joker really was before he was the joker i hope not because to me that is one of the things that makes the joker so interesting
His past is multiple choice we will never know his true background because he makes up so many different stories
This arc was so insane and twisted, I loved every bit of this arc it's so dark
18:41 Batman becomes jokers eye in that panel of the face falling
Thank you SOOOOOOOO much for doing this! I've been wanting to know about this for so long!
Tbh this is easily in my top 3 if not my #1 favorite version of the Joker. So twisted and demented, i love it!
i always love listening to you read the stories, reminds me of listening to the Shadow radio show with Orson Welles
The narration just adds to the story, great job 👍
"The chemical compound of... _Ha."_ Of course I'm laughing now.
This had me shittin bricks, of how terrifying this was, especially the background music. Great comic.
Anyone else want this Batman story to become a animated movie
This Book is so sane darkest one i have came across but i loved it! had me on my toes the whole time Comicstorian this video was awesome your videos are the bomb keep doing what your doing thumbs up for you my friend!
U actually told the story spot on I really enjoyed I thanks man and don't stop doing this
Best batman comic ever we need more just like this
You are hands down my favorite comic book KZheadr thank you for doing this story, and I understand you want variety on this show and not do just Batman, but is it possible you could do Batman Incorporated ? both pre and new 52 ? Keep up the good work !
I come back to your old videos for the intro. God how It bring some back to a peaceful time.
dude I have to say thank you for your videos you keep me update with my favorite heros.
This may be your best video! I love it!
This might have been the best I've watched yet
This channel is amazing! It allows me to get up to date with all these comics and not be too lost reading Rebirth! (I'm a newbie)
i love this channel specifically for this reason
