Honestly wished that Scarecrow had his own interview with Hugo Strange as both would be hyper focused on psycho analzying the other

@@hamizanyunos1502 True, it would have been really entertaining.
Hugo: why’d you kill him? Joker: fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly Hugo: *single vein on forehead pulsates*
Joker was clearly getting to him..
souds like . is in hsi nature
Joker has a unique way of testing, and/or breaking, even the most psychologically sound minds
Anime moment
DAUBENY DAUBENY SHOW YOURSEL....oh there you are
I'd love to see Hugo Strange interviewing Scarecrow. They would analyze the crap out of each other.
They would be absolute equals
I really want to see that now.
I can actually see them going back and forth with each other like Hugo all like your obsessed with fear and then scarecrow like your obsessed with Batman and then they constantly going tit for tat with each other the whole interview till scarecrow gets bored and injects Hugo with fear serum
Mikey Holland the last part was kinda weird and unlikely since Hugo has guards in the room and everything is taken from them but it‘s kinda neat
@@ahmetozturk3000 yeah but still they would be going tit for tat with each other like I said
Hugo actuallly seems disappointed that Harvey went for his coin, interesting.
I think it's because out of all the villains Harvey was originally one of the ''good guys'',working along with Batman to bring those that normally avoided prison because they either bribed or scared people to justice.Sure he had his mental problem before the attack but he wasn't criminal or corrupted.If Hugo would've managed to cure Harvey he'd be a perfect ally for him,bringing more criminals to justice and thus giving Hugo more test subjects.
Probably because it was the most obvious and expected outcome. From a scientific and psychological point of view, him going for the coin was boring. If he hadn’t gone for the coin, Strange would’ve made more progress with Dent than any other doctor who ever came in contact with him. Of course he doesn’t really care for his mental health or the actual wellbeing of his “patients”.
I would be too
Man when I heard strange say what catwomen was doing I was really disappointed that two-face went for it.
@CHAINSofFATE Truuu
Strange: "Are you familiar with the term napoleon complex" penguin: "no, what is it ? Strange: "lel nothing"
DARTHORIAN_DARK_WING that is the best roast i’ve heard in a while
Oswald is a genius so I'm surprised he doesn't know what the napoleon complex is
It's a possibility!
I had to Google that shit lol
@@aspiknf so what is it I am an idiot so please tell me
I really like how Hugo Stanger was able to break everybody except the Joker, Joker made a fool out of Strange, however Hugo completely roasted Riddler.
back when they had good writers for the arkham games...
Because Joker simply doesn't care or have something he cares for. He thrives on chaos, thrives on his own, his only goal is to have a blast.
my favourite part is that Joker actually told him the whole truth about how he came to be, yet Hugo just thought it was another fake origin he made up, too stuck up and too smart to see the truth was right in front of his face laughing at him.
@@lostuser1094 That would be because Paul Dini (the classic writer behind Batman: The Animated Series) wrote Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. There are a lot of nods to B:TAS for that reason in the games. Then Rocksteady booted Dini out which is ridiculous.
Mish375 S Dini did say before that the Arkhamverse is an alternate version of the animated series’ future. This was before Origins & all the spin-off media made since his departure however.
Luke Skywalker and Count Dooku having a conversation? Awesome!
Kira121086 OMG I JUST REALIZED MIND BLOWN
Kira121086
Kira121086 Wait... Hugo Strange is voiced by the same man who voiced Count Dooku?
Corey Burton voiced Dooku in both 2003's "Clone Wars" and 2008's "The Clone Wars."
@Tyler Robbins obvious bait
Damn. Strange actually got Riddler to shut up.
Nothing is more satisfying than that
Riddler got balls of steel.
Clarion XL other than beating the shit out if him
Riddle be like: “Riddle me this” Strange be like: “Riddle me THAT!”
Strange knew the one thing Riddler didn't, it's just like when Strange threatened Holly Robinson. Selina and Victor have loved ones, Joker knows better than to give away anything truly personal aside from Batman, and the rest have an ego to manipulate.
The voice acting is really on another level.
I agree!
Agreed!
Love the blending of voices we know and love with new additions that do the characters' legacies justice
@Numpteez the other Arkham games aren't nearly this passionate in the cutscenes or the tape dialogues
Fr
I love how when Joker accuses Strange of driving Sharpe insane and gives him a mocking "good job," instead of denying it Strange just accepts the compliment. It goes to show how despite all his attempts to place himself above Batman's twisted rogues gallery as their mental superior, he's just the same as them and will never realize it.
The writing of Paul Dini. It's his gift.
Well... Strange is after all a villain. Also if you noticed he clearly knew Joker gonna end up killing more doctors he sent to him or have them somehow dead outside his room, yet he kept sending them anyway. Shows Strange couldn't care less about the workers in the Asylum, all he ever wanted was to be recognised as the guy who successfully broke all major villains of Gotham. Eventually it turns out he was a villain himself trying to take over the city (just like everyone else lol get in line). Then again he was interrogating people that didn't care about human life either and Joker was so out of his mind for how he couldn't care less for everyone to die he pretty much just fabricated a story (or even telling the truth origin story of him) and knew Strange would just listen altho he knew it was just another story. While Joker just does things, Strange tried to grow stronger as he studies more about villains of Gotham.
He's just not afraid to get his hands dirty in achieving his goals.
@@royliber3824 hi i know it’s forever but re hearing this and saw your comment on him helping the joker kill doctors to talk he also told catowman about two face face and then told two face she was on her to get it such a good MANIPULATOR and instigator
@@valentine4620 He also used Mad Hatter for his own ideologies. Doctor Strange really did everything he could to take Gotham into his own hands. Doesn't matter how many people needed to die for it.
"do you know how it is to love someone? to really love them?" "no." love that scene. in one word, rocksteady showed how detached Hugo is from his loved ones.
Hugo doesn't have "Loved Ones". That's the point. He doesn't love anyone.
"Nah, I'm good".
actually no one love's no one
I'men hego strange don't love no one he's only using the joker and penguin and two face to become famous and so all gothem see hego strange as a hero and then disposing of joker and penguin and two face because he don't need theme eny more
I feel like there should have been a pause before the "no" and the tape then ended
Everything the Joker said is from the Killing Joke. Really happy when the writers do their research.
They did the same thing in Arkham Asylum with an interview tape collection of what happened in Batman: Mad Love that Batman has to find.
I think the Killing Joke is probably the official "canon" origin story of the Joker
Man, it's almost verbatim. That is such lazy writing. At this point, having the Joker as an overrated force of authorial bias with no identity who inspires terror in everyone, cheats death all the time, and all of the other characters talk about how scary he is as though they secretly want to take a long walk on the beach while holding hands with him has really worn out its welcome.
Yep, he is like Batman's whole comparison with the rest of the Justice League. The most popular one that has the most stories.
It had Mark Hamill performing Killing Joke-esque material years before the film adaptation was a thing. I think that makes up for it.
Joker was more honest to Strange than he was to Quinn.
Lightman 2120 tbh joker would probably get away even by telling his actual true story since he’s probably taken as a liar at this point so anything he says is probably a lie
@@zerocrashmurilo he told the truth for the most part
Its cause he respects Strange’s work
And strange didn't believe him, that's the funny side
Yeah, that's because even Joker knew that Hugo wouldn't look good in a Harlequin onesie.
Hearing Joker outwitting Strange is awesome and terrifying at the same time.
Wasting someone's time isn't especially like outwitting them.
@@cr820 yeah people think is like GREAT ROAST but it just shows that joker is insane and talking with him dosent make much sense Every other villian got backstory that WE KNOW its true We dont know Joker true origin story so we never can truly know why is he the way he is. His NOT SUPER SMART his just umpredictible ,,agent of chaos"
@@cr820 He is toying with Strange, humiliating him and his entire career
@@cr820 exactly
@@anonlvl1957 The best part is that's probably Joker's actual origin story, but he told a different version so many times before that Strange just doesn't believe him anymore, and he knows it
"You promised me another _doctor, Strange._ " The pause there couldn't've been intentional lol
Joker: Hear me Doctor Stra... Hugo: It's Professor! Joker: Oh why make such a big deal about that? Hugo: Because I have no patience in dealing with pain in my ass Disney lawyers! I doubt either you as well! Joker: .... Joker: Okay. Fair point.
@@GyariSan-kj8lr Thats for that. I needed a good laugh.
@@HRGAMES-rw7yd The Joker doesn't want to mess with the IRS. I think he'd sympathize with Strange in not wanting to deal with Disney lawyers. 😆
@@GyariSan-kj8lr fair point. Eve he knows that they're just some people you don't piss off
I personally feel like the pause is just his Titan disease making that lol
Strange: "... Discover how you came to have such a... frosty outlook on life." BOO.
WarWolf I bet Hugo's parents never loved him
LoL the tone of Strange's voice is on the level of "I don't give a shit".
LeopardPrintZebras
LeopardPrintZebras Cool party!
**YOU STINK!** **Get off the stage!**
Honestly Selina and Joker had the best ones to me. Selina was so confident Strange couldn't break her except then he took her apart. Strange was confident he could understand the Joker and was constantly left begging for more
it's probably why Harley sees something in him
I doubt Strange was confident he could get a truthful story from Joker, I mean, he told Joker he had read through the other Joker's stories.
tristan pena what about fries
to be fair joker was playing games he knew strange would not be satisfied because though jokers life is tragic psychological trauma did not make him the way he did a freak chemical accident did that was jokers true origin that he told
Joker led him onto a fake story and never told him what he wanted to know.
Of all of Batman's villains I have to say Mr. Freeze is the most sympathetic one. You can't help but have pity for him. All he wants is to find a cure for his wife but GothCorp screwed him over. Just goes to show you even in the fictional world life can be a cruel bitch.
+Joshua McDonald Batman's world IS the real world, Earth is one big Arkham Asylum!
what lexcorp who screwed over matello
+Jamik Wapala about*
+Joshua McDonald Yeah, Mr.Freeze is the one villain who isn't really a villain, but more of a misguided soul.
Kaitlyn Foley why cause the clown like attention from batman and made his life hell theirs no turning back from life like the jokers and cause he fell in vat of chemicals he couldn't become a rodeo clown
Every villain or hero has something that motivates them, and I find it amazing that Dr. Strange is able to find them all with ease.
Well, he is a renowned psychiatrist.
Except for the Joker. He just trolled him.
Tom Lv nah, he was telling the truth, that was what really happened to him. He's just so insane and the story sounds so crazy that Hugo didn't believe him
pretty sure he was telling the truth at least partially because his backstory in origins fits this story he's telling
The Joke told several stories about what happened to him. But they all have a similar ending. He fell in a vat of chemicals while wearing a red hood and batman was involved.
strange is the only other person other than batman who can shut riddler up. the ending of riddler's last tape has without a doubt the best burn ive ever heard. and because unlike riddler, hugo already knew who batman is.
Yeah you'd think the guy who is as smart as he claims to be would have figured it out by now. There's only one person it could be.
@@destroyerblackdragon The Riddler usually has it figured out, but doesn't tell it, because if people knew who was Batman it would destroy the mystery.
The Riddler is perfectly capable of finding out Batman's secret identity. One of two reasons as to why he hasn't yet is because he's too much of a self-absorbed prick who's too obsessed with proving himself as Batman's mental superior to do it. The second reason, and the one I like better, is because he thinks that a riddle that everyone knows the answer to isn't any fun. And Batman's secret identity is a great riddle.
Amanda Waller also did it in Assault on Arkham.
@@destroyerblackdragon in his hideout in arkham origins he has for suspects harvey dent and bruce wayne
Hugo strange was the best villain for this game/franchise...joker was great, and scarecrow, too, but Hugo is so refreshingly calmly malevolent
Strange was indeed a very good surprise; I was so glad that in the *Gotham* tv show, BD Wong played Hugo Strange the same way as he is portrayed in "Arkham City". BD Wong's voice was such a great imitation of this one, loved it.
Ismael Santos I did like Hugo Strange as a focal villain for Arkham City, but I was more impressed when I found out his benefactor for everything he was doing was none other than one of my fave Batman villains; Ras' al Ghoul.
Hugo Strange and Joker are the best villains.
@Lockjaw Why?
@Lockjaw no lol
The voice acting is this game is unbelievable! All star cast! Conroy, Hamill, Griffin, Burton, Steven Blum, Wally Wingert Chris Cox, Troy Baker, David Kaye, Nolan North, Tara Strong, and Maurice LaMarche! Each actor gave a great performance, playing off each other so well.
Don't forget Grey DeLisle. ^_^
I did mention her. Griffin is her new surname ever since she got married.
Oh, really? I didn't know that Lol I'm sorry.
It cool. I dint know either at first.
Troy Baker was in AC? Which character?
I actually feel quite sorry for Mad Hatter. Where the Joker uses his madness as his weapon, the Mad Hatter seems submissive to it.
He's an ironic character because as Strange mentions, Tetch believes that there is no free will and uses his technology to try and enslave others to create his own Alice in Wonderland. While at the same time, obeying to his own delusions due to his mental illness that drags him further down his own proverbial rabbit hole with his tech. He's completely enslaved to and by his own fantasy of Alice.
@@romankvapil9184 he killed little girls tho
@@paperchasindude6578 Well I never said he was a good person.
@@romankvapil9184 true
@@paperchasindude6578 He is a victim of mental illness like most nut jobs in Gotham, but they still are horrible people and very few of them could be rehabilitated
I absolutely love Arkham's Two-Face. He's this harmonic blend of every iconic Two-Face we've ever had; he's got his animated version's throaty, guttural voice when he's "Big-Bad Harv", he's got Tommy Lee Jones's appearance in his unburned side and Aaron Eckhart's voice as normal Harvey and his burned side.
It's a shame they didn't do more with him
I agree. Two-Face has always been my favorite villain. This iteration is a wonderful combination of the best aspects of so many others and it's great.
Two-Face isn't utilized in an interesting way in the Arkham games. He's tutorial in Arkham City, and a side mission in Arkham Knight. He's just a generic crime boss in both games, with no personal vendetta against anyone.
In city he had a feud with Catwoman because she stole his files. But yes, aside from that, Harvey was wasted in the Arkham series. Fortunately, the taletell batman series made up for it.
Dialogue and acting is brilliant. I actually started to feel sorry for Harvey when strange started mentally torturing him by showing him multiple coins
I like to think that Strange let Two-Face keep the wrong coin and knows in the back of his mind that he is constantly, perpetually, eternally, trolling the hell out of him.
Catwoman: My eyes are up here by the way. LOL
Favorite line in this video
LoL I guess Hugo Strange was thinking with both heads when he was talking to Catwoman.
Hugo is not that kind of humen
Hugo was not checking her out in the slightest, he doesn't care about that stuff that's why he replied with a mocking "amusing," besides, Catwoman is sarcastic and jokey like that.
Me not that kind of orc
I like how Strange scarified half a dozen doctors to the Joker just so he could tell him a story he already knew that he assumed was fake right from the get-go.
Batman saved two out of the six doctors in the main story.
"Interesting. Tell me Edward ... how is The Riddler like the dictionary? You're both at a lose for words." A riddle that burns ... nice one Hugo.
A BLANK dictionary to be precise.
Luke van Kleef 2x the burn
pablolara125 XD
I know he got fucking ROASTED!
How does "how is The Riddler like the dictionary? You're both at a lose for words." make sense please? 140 peoples liked that? What does it mean? sorry I don't speak english very well...
wow you can learn a lot from these tapes like how penguin found out that the cops where spies
Time Cop and how Two Face found Catwoman
+Lil Savage and how Joker got Nora
All these interview tapes literally dictated what the arkham city story would start and finish like hugo literally allow penguin to get frieze he told two face what catwoman was doing and that's exactly why catwoman showed up at the place where harvey's thugs were. then once she got the phone two face holds her at gunpoint and the crazy thing is these tapes happen before arkham city began once he was done talking to them he sent them into arkham city and that's how and why Everything happened the way it did.
@@willlucas2630 And how Victor Fries ended up in a cell at Penguins Iceberg lounge
Strange: one thing- your face. Penguin: It's beautiful, isn't it? ROFL
Innit*
I like how the tapes fill in a few narrative gaps, such as why Catwoman and Two-Face ended up in conflict at the start of the game.
Montesama314 how did clay face get there?
@@Saint0999 Clayface was initially an inmate at Arkham Asylum. If you play the first game, you can even see him in disguise as different characters. Clayface apparently tricked a guard into letting him out while disguised as someone else, and he ended up sneaking into Arkham City on his own, meeting with the Joker, and crafting their plan.
Montesama314 oh ye I remember seeing him
Right these tapes literally were made way before arkham city began and as soon as they were all recorded hugo sent them into arkham city and that's how two-face found catwoman and how frieze got captured by penguin
Also how Mad Hatter was more than just a side character, he was the reason Hugo took control over Sharpe like a puppet
Mr Freeze is telling his whole backstory like he’s reading a poem to an audience, and I love it.
I wish Scarecrow talked with Hugo Stange
@SorryButYouAreWrong I can imagine some of the employees and/or guards talking about the events that would transpire, as well as the aftermath.
They’d probably get along honestly
@@queencancerous5332 Knowing how evil both are, I agree. Hugo would probably want to have the feargas formula for himself and Crane would probably have fun with the countless prisoners or innocents in Arkham City Strange would provite him to experiment on.
I wished to but he wouldn't tho scarecrow wasn't in Arkham city then he was somewhere else in Gotham
@@xp0fficial304 He WAS in City actually, albeit unseen with a lab on a boat.
I know Joker´s interviews are based on The Killing Joke, but somehow I feel that in this particular story, he´s making it all up just to mess with Strange.
It’s implied in Killing Joke that he’s making it up in that too, or might be at least
It’s possible then again it is kind of hinted that it’s his possible origins in Arkham origin unless he’s lying about that aswell
Tbh any of the stories joker has probably ever told have been a lie joker could tell his real origin story at this point and they’d pass it off as another lie
Igor It’s implied that he’s making it up in Killing Joke too.
Well yes. Strange said that there were 12 other stories or some number around there and Joker says the line about his past being multiple choice which seems to be solid proof he's lying
Hugo Strange: “Joker, tell me how you became what you are today.” Joker: “You wanna know how I got these scars?”
wrong joker
@@bludeuce3855 that's the joke

*And that’s a fact*
Strange sounded genuinely disappointed when Harvey caught the coin.
Love how Strange shows the most emotion in the Joker tapes. He sounds irritated almost all of the time, somewhat sympathetic during Joker’s story. But all of the time, the Joker was in control. Stuff like how the Joker has the first three lines before strange has one- something nobody else has, to how Joker would say things like ‘Don’t answer that!’ or ‘Get me another doctor...’, he commands Strange like Strange commands everybody else. It’s funny really.
Goes to show you that he isn't as insane as he claims to be just a great manipulater that's what he always was always will be
"Of course, she'll be all yours. She's Alice..." Hugo fuckin' giving me chills there, knowing that this 'Alice' might just end up like the first one, and yet he just hands her to Jervis on a plate. Idk how more people aren't talking about Jervis Tetch, he's just as deranged and creepy as any other of Batman's rogue's gallery, and has his own unique motif.
He’s way more fucked up than the other ones I’d argue. Those were definitely the scariest fucking audio logs of the bunch.
This one actually started to make me feel a little bad for Tetch. He is genuinely, completely insane. He's not just a murderer justifying their actions with a mental condition. He's barely lucid at all. In fact, it seems like he's hardly aware of his own situation. It's actually kind of sad.
@@thebighurt2495 yep and by knight he's completely and utterly lost it believing Batman to be Alice
@@thebighurt2495 honestly more than anyone else he could really benefit from just being moved out of Gotham to somewhere with actual funding
Hugo Strange, a man who is by far one of the scariest of Batman's villians. He does not have to do anything to break you. Does not have to send an army, armed thugs, or use fear gas to harm you. Able to break down every bit of you. Leaving you with nothing. Unless you are the Joker. Then, you school Strange.
I would KILL to hear the tapes that Strange would have with Scarecrow. I believe those two would just got back and forth with each other for months
I loved Strange's voice actor! Without a doubt the best voice actor for Hugo Strange. He had that intelligent and creepy vibe. I loved the way Joker completely trolled Strange with his origin story. Joker was the only Arkham villian Strange had no leverage on! LoL I also loved how Riddler had the upper hand on Strange until he mentioned his obession with knowing Batman's true identity. Speaking of which Strange came dangerously close to exposing Batman's identity to both Two-Face and Penguin. Luckily those two men were blinded by hate.
I belive he is the same guy who voiced Brainiac in many cartoons and games. Seems like his voice is perfect for cold blooded intellectuals. He also voiced Count Dooku in the clone wars series.

Flashrun85 funny enough, Mr. Freeze actually put Nora in a Lazarus pit in one comic to save her. She came out of the pit transformed into a flaming being known as Lazaura.
Have you ever heard of Fallout 4
Actually game theory came up with the theory that Nora disease was a cancer and that freezing it helped but since he did it so much he would never cure her

When the Joker seriously threatens you to keep your nose of his past you know that you're doing something right
I wonder what it would be like if Hugo Strange interview the other villains such as Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Victor Zsass, Killer Croc and Scarecrow?

in arkham asylum the patients had always the upper hand ... nice change !!! By the way the audio files were always my favourite part of the arkham games
They are kinda my favorite part in any game. They are something you look for, that also offers stories that are not told in the main one.
The tapes are the deep lore.
It makes me wonder what would’ve happened if Ivy was in there with Strange
@@LegacyKnight-zm6vz It would end in one of two ways: First outcome is Ivy uses her powers to seduce Strange, or Huge would be talking to her through a isolation chamber and Ivy tells him her story after threatening her with weed killer.
I really like how Strange actually saw through the Joker. Everyone who knows the joker knows that this story was likely fabricated and we're secretly laughing at Strange for falling for it. Him actually seeing though that... nice. Just nice.
Makara That’s the thing though. Hugo saw through joker. But joker saw through Hugo
Quite the opposite. Joker actually told him his true origin story but strange was too prideful to accept and instead tried to break Joker down. That's the funny part of it.
To be fair doctor young did that too it’s no surprise at this point in the series but in the end joker will always manipulate you instead
@@olofacosta3192 yeah that was amazing, joker knew Hugo would’ve seen the many false stories he’s made up and knew he wouldn’t take the real one as truth goes to show there are some Batman villains even you can’t break down strange
Thats actually jokers truest story yet lol
Would've been interesting to see Strange try it with Zsasz because Zsasz truly finds zero meaning in anything, therefore there would've been nothing that Strange could have manipulated. Just an interesting interaction to imagine playing out.
"Why do you kill?" "Why not?" "Curious. What made you this way?" "Knives, mostly."
It would be simular to joker He would said that he just dont care about life And Hugo would just say Well his just to far gone NEXT

Strange knows exactly where to stab Fries. He doesn't need to lie, all his assessments are keyed to expose him. He tried to direct him towards rage, but the last interview also planted the seed of self doubt that drove Batman's recommendation home.
I think the interview with The Mad Hatter really shows how ruthless Strange is in this game, even after mastering the science of psychology he is still willing to exploit a meek delusional schizophrenic in order to carry out his plans. Truly evil stuff from a truly perfect game.
I just feel bad for Jervis, he could be a truly brilliant researcher if someone even just gave him meds
I really love how they dig up Victor's backstory, and how he's not just a villain for the sake of villain-y. He wanted to save life even before he met Nora. It's a shame how tragic he is as a character, and glad they re-developed him over the years for the way he became now. He was one example of a character that Batman shouldn't just beat down and call it a day. Not every criminal is Joker.
He's Jeffery Dahmer but instead of acid it's liquid nitrogen
@@1micahryan1 what?? ? ? not even close. you are comparing a serial killer who is a necrophiliac, a pedo, and a cannibal to mr freeze, a guy who was always interested in saving lives/preserving life and just wants to save his dying wife.
It's facsinating to see the difference in the psychiatric sessions between asylum and city. In asylum the psychiatrists failed in the initial interaction to understand the complicity of the inmates and behaved as general human being with strict uncompromising consensus about the irregular symptoms of their behavior and have fallen to their minds defensive mechanisms. Hugo strange through unorthodox means exposes the inmates true motives, and in some cases and in some cases their obsessive means of salvation and ulterior grip of common sense and manipulates them to his own use.
@@EmporerAaronhe may want to help some people just some
Everyone except for the Joker. Riddler got halfway before shitting the bed completely. Joker completely owned Strange by telling him the pretty much canon backstory of the Killing Joke and yet Strange just couldn’t accept it as his pride was too great. You just can’t crack the Joker. His mind is like a steal trap.
@@Odinsday steal
@@Odinsday HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
jarvis muharhararr Bro y u using big ass words
I love that joker is one of the few villains in Batman’s rogue gallery that is able to see right through what strange is trying to do. Joker has strange wrapped around his finger the second they start conversing.
What I think is really sad is that Joker was telling the truth. Or at least, his version of the truth. I think that the version of his backstory that he told Strange was the most accurate one. But because he told it in his usual Joker way, with lots of dramatic flair and cliffhangers, Strange doesn't believe him.
yeah judging from the scene from arkham origins where hes wearing the red hood dome its definitely jokers origin just like in the comic series he appeared in the arkhamverse the same time batman did in gotham
Yep, but like Hugo said, Joker has specially gone through the trouble of making many fake origins. So when he eventually told most of the truth it was assumed completely fake. He did this because it fits his narrative that anyone can be him. Anyone can be as foul as the joker. By creating different origins, he manifests that being the joker is more than being an individual, but it's almost like a stage of life that only the most grief stricken can ever attain. Through pain, longing, desperation and despair Joker found power. That madness he found allowed him to be more than human. He is unrestrained and he has become free to do as he wishes. Joker became the ubermensch in his own way.
Joker did that on purpose and is laughing his ass off thinking about how the only time he was honest about his back story he guaranteed that no one would believe it.
@@Deadlyaztec27 that's more like the various movie jokers, or very recent depictions. This idea that joker is this anarchistic mentally ill guy turned insane by his pain and rejection by society isn't really what the original comic joker was about (that includes cartoons and thus most Mark Hamill portrayels of Joker). The original characterization of Joker is that he is straight up a sociopathic serial killer and criminal, completely self-aware and calculating. Comics/cartoons have often played on the fact that Joker is not even actually "insane". In the end of the day, Joker commits murder because he can, without any deep motivations or poetic reasonings. He messes and plays with people just because it's simply entertaining to him. The only true drive he has is his obsessive hatred for batman, which is derived from fairly petty reasons when you consider the extremes he goes to. To quote the Joker himself from. DCUO: "let me tell you a story ... A bat saves a scorpion from drowning in a river.. but as the bat carries the scorpion out of the deadly churning water, the scorpion stings the bat! The bat cries why?! I tried to save you, now we'll both die! And the scorpion says.. that's the point sucker! (Laughs) I love that story, cracks me up everytime"
Freeze: I want my wife. Penguin: I want my guns! Two-Face: WE WANT OUR COIN!
Joker: I want more doctors!
@@Isaacisaperson4677😂🤣👍🏻
Mad Hatter: I want Alice!!
"Do you know what it feels like to love someone? To really love them?" - Mr. Freeze/Victor Fries. "No." - Hugo Strange. Lmfao.
Strange is the real hero of Arkham City He finally got the Riddler to shut up
What's so interesting about the Joker tapes is that out of all the characters, Strange had absolutely nothing on him. The pure chaos of the Joker just completely outshines the order that Strange exudes. Even when Hugo analyzed Joker in the final tape, Joker simply just didn't give a shit.
Damn, I had never realized that BD Wong's interpretation of Hugo Strange in the *Gotham* show was so similar to Corey Burton's in Arkham City (the only "new" Batman game I didn't play out of the 4 for some reason) Exact same tone, exact same vvvoooiiice haha that's amazing. "Gotham" has so many Easter eggs like that, it's crazy.
Randall Flagg its the best of all the 4 games and you havent played? Oh ok
You need to play Arkham City! It's the best Batman game out of the franchise, when it comes to story telling and character development. That and Arkham Asylum.
It's still a shitty show
@@carlhiller9659 Nope, maybe you just have shitty tastes.
The Riddler is surprisingly scary when he wants to be
37:53 I love how she defended him so passionately there.
A shame their relationship wasn't further developed in these games, since Selina genuinely seems to have a sort of respect and admiration for Batman in her own way
@Miguel Flores batman was on the fence of dating her in arlham knight it seems. She tried getting with him and he went "Selina.. we can't.. I can't.."
Came for Joker, stayed for everyone else. Seriously, the voice acting on errybody was seriously something else. Every character distinctly brought to life through some good VA.
Crazy that just looking at the menu and listening to audio clips of story makes for an hour of gameplay. This game definitely earned it's amazing reputation.
"Do you know what it is to love someone? Really love them?" "No." I love how he says it so casually. Brilliantly chilling.
wait so that thing in penguins eye is not a monocle it the end of a glass bottle
Yes.
Justin T oh, neat
How good is your eyesight?
How the hell did you miss that?
@@65firered I thought it was a monocle too, lol
Man this makes me really feel for Freeze. I never thought of him as evil on par with Riddler or Joker. He really just wants to save his wife.
50:15 You can sense Strange's patience being depleted as he says this.
I would be annoyed if my job was to interview people like Mad Hatter
@@mysoncrumphaseveryinjury3853 I would just be sad
Joker: He threatened to preform oral surgery on me with a nail and a brick!! Joker: Creative guy.
Its difficult to say if hes for justice at all. He manipulate catwoman to steal by Dent and later manipulate Dent that she is stealing from him. Its like he plays with criminals as puppets that way. But i have to say what he did to Dent was actually a great test and therapy if hes to cure.
@Random Gmod Vids Hugo Strange
@@odhranmckillen6889 Exactly
Right like he treats them like toys and is controlling them like some puppets and he literally played with everyone's thoughts , feelings and motives and that's why everything happened the way it was
He isn't for justice. You need to help mentally ill people instead of leave them to die in prisons or asylums. They need to be helped so they don't want to do anything again, not just because they can't but because they've been fixed.
Riddler got roasted lol
Does that mean you got roasted Nygma?
Boom riddles just got bruned
@Lockjaw no he didnt
says The Riddler
@Lockjaw no u
Hugo Strange's interview with Harvey Dent sounded intriguing.
Hugo and Joker is like the smart , serious kid teaming up with the smart yet seems dumb, non-serious kid.
Jesus, Dr. Freeze is probably the most sympathetic villain in all fiction. He never wanted to turn to a life of crime of his own accord, he was forced to - to save the life of the person he loved more than anything else in the world. He devoted himself so much to saving Nora that he put himself through physical and psychological torture from lack of sleep and nutrition. Strange is dead wrong. Freeze's heart isn't cold, it's warmer with more love than Strange can ever comprehend.
5Oblivion but Strange reveled his true nature that Freeze has an obsession of keeping things a live and not letting them die. He thinks by keeping nora alive that he is helping her, but doesn’t understand that through death she does not have to suffer anymore so in a sense Freeze is selfish
@@anthonybayonne9361 she is not suffering though.. she is frozen and unaware. And yes, i know arkham knight pulled some bullshit with their storyline, but i honestly found it to be dreadful (along most other side-stories of that game.. I tend to ignore it though. the writers that worked on asylum and City were not part of making Arkham Knight)
@@anthonybayonne9361 I want to be Mr. Freeze
Strange have a Point.
@@anthonybayonne9361 I disagree that he was selfish, just reckless. I mean, he had a reason to freeze neighbor’s pets, since he was trying to help them. Plus, he tried to help Nora not out of obsession, but actual love. True, you could argue that he could’ve let Boyle know, but Arkham Origins clearly says otherwise.
I gotta say, I really missed this Riddler. Even considering Strange taking control of the power dynamic towards the end, he was the one who had Strange on the backfoot in the beginning. How he had gotten nowhere near Strange, but managed to get so much information on him, it was like he was a fly on the wall - having Strange in a position he had so many other prisoners in. If he desired to, he could've ruined Strange's plans for Arkham City in a heartbeat if he released that information about him. Above all else, the thing that always defined Riddler over many other villains was his sheer intellect and his arrogance about that intellect. Both were displayed excellently here, and I much preferred that over bat shit crazy breakdown in Arkham Knight. He feels a lot more threatening like this, and I felt like his descent into madness made him far more toothless.
Duuuude I’m so glad you pointed this out. I thought I was the only one who hated how riddler was portrayed in Arkham knight
Then you people missed his entire character development. Arkham knight was his breaking point. He is supposed to be that way during the story.
@@GianniLantigua Just because a character is developed a certain way doesn't mean I have to like it. That was the entire point of my comment.
It does seem a little convenient though. Edward is apparently smart enough to find out Strange cosplays as Batman in his free time but is somehow unable to decipher Batman's true identity from him even though the password for Protocol 11 is literally "Wayne".
@@DarkClassicGamer he was too smart to take his meds
I do love the monotone voice of Fries when he is in his suit. A callback to the 90s cartoon, I assume.
This is the perfect Joker. He’s so heinous, yet so funny and charming at the same time. Him talking about killing doctors was great
Strange is always so polite to the people he's interviewing. No matter how angry they get at him.
is it just me...or after listening to these conversations makes me consider i need some psychic analysis of why i act the way i do.. I've listen to these tapes for hours while at home and moving around....even though its a game...makes me sit down and reflect....
If you question your sanity you aren't crazy just ..... aware, as long as you are aware you are fine.
Jay Turner Damn right
Well we don't know you exactly. Maybe ask some friends and family members if you are doing okay and then see if you should get some help.
Jay Turner
If you question your sanity, then your likely sane as it is because your aware of it. If you feel like you need it anyway, just don't ask Strange to do it XD.
The fact that Joker was telling Strange the whole truth about his backstory makes it even more sad, even if Strange thought he was lying to him.
Hugo said "Guards leave us" like the Emperor in The Return of the Jedi
Ironic since Hugo's voice actor also voices Dooku
When two-face grabs the coin ;-;
4:25 "I don't need sleep, I need answers!"
Riddler: Calls Strange Strange: “Ah shit here we go again”
The best thing about the jokers story is that the way mark tells the story is that you can't tell if he's telling the truth, he's so articulated and controlled in his voice, bring back mark 😢
Nah he decided to quit playing Joker when Conroy passed.
In Arkham Knight, it was revealed that a figment of Strange was placed into Quincy Sharp’s head, so that when Sharp was eventually imprisoned after formerly being acquitted of the Arkham City incident, he saw a vision of Strange that convinced him to hang himself with his bedsheets (strongly implied).
Strange shutting Riddler up was very satisfying. Riddler had the upper hand at first, but Strange flipped the tables when he revealed knowing Batman's true identity. I think Riddler *could* have figured it out, but he's too self absorbed to succeed.
Riddler was dominating Strange until he mentioned that he knows who Batman is
That's true.
It’s so scary to think that Joker isn’t just killing these doctors for fun, he’s literally in panic as every doctor isn’t able to help him with his condition.
I wish that he talked about Catwoman's excessively flirtatious attitude from the the way she fights to the way she dresses
It's probably pretty obvious to both Catwoman and Strange why she does it, so perhaps that's why he didn't bother to bring it up. He did mention the lack of a father figure, hinting at childhood issues when it comes to trusting men.
40:39 - 40:50 Jedi Mind Trick...
well technically the guy who voiced Hugo Strange also voiced for Count Dooku in Battlefront so more like sith mind trick
This brings me back to like, 2010, summer nights of just going through these at like 3am 👌
Fr bro this game made me a batman super fan lol
This game came out in October of 2011
Love the dialogue between catwoman and hugo strange. "I've been studying you." "My eyes are up here."
woman moment
I like how dent just gives up on life when his coin is taken
