Gotham’s Day Off 

He doesn't care about solving crimes. He just likes hanging out with quirky characters.

I guess regular crime doesn't excite him as much as super villian crime. Too bad for him when they get a day off.

Regular criminals have real guns, ain’t no way Batman is trying to fist fight them

@@marileywegner I guess bane using machine guns and joker using all sorts of automatics and pistols don't count

I mean, I’d like to think the GCPD is at least *somewhat* competent at their job cracking down on petty crime. Batman, meanwhile, is for the big fish...who happen to be taking a day off.

He was actually a really good person who's research was the very core of wanting to freeze and unfreeze a person until the time their life could be saved with a cure for disease. Since his wife was terminally ill right? (Don't know everything, but I loved his story in Gotham) Poor man lost her before he actually cracked the code...

@@Zorothex5152 Thing is dr. fries never actually lost his wife, thats a big part of why he's a 'supervillian' because he typically cant get what he needs for his research legally, and needs to turn to not so legal pursuits to acquire it. Its why in a lot of batman media he's not actually a villian and will go out of his way to help batman, especially if he feels like he can get batman's help in some way... which, well, yeah, batman is pretty on board for helping others as long as its not putting people in danger or at risk.

@@MessyGamer616 batman even funds some of mr freezes treatment in one of the batman series to help his wife

Batman: F*ck you smurf. Me: Ha! Shows a picture of nora and melting ice cream Me: Ooooooohhhh... sh*t. Now I feel bad...

Too bad she had no female voice actor

Ha ha, heartwarming... I'll see myself out.

@@nictini hahahaha

But how would Mr. freeze eat the ice cream

@@RandomRothbardian im pretty sure he just needs the suit when hes outside of his lair.

More like heartCOLDing mwahahahahaha

Yeah, that was a great touch. These skits are getting better and better.

Well, he probably has an unwritten agreement with Gordon to let the regular beat cops handle the "small-timers" like thieves, con-men, perverts and molesters, and regular old robbers. Gotta make it look like the GCPD isn't depending on Batman for EVERY little thing, right?

@@duelgundam gotta get that city funding amiright

@@charliec.3518 ...from Bruce Wayne!

@@duelgundam even in the Nolan trilogy, they only really send Batman after the Joker, and after Lau, thus making Batman leave Gotham for a few days so either the streets runs rampant… Or Gordon cleans them up as well.

I bet he's hitting the gym so that his body may look like his mind: Strong and powerful. (And because he's afraid of being called a pussy by someone)

@@felipecosta-kv2fxNah it's because his father doesn't hug him anymore

well being a personal trainer is Bane's job. are they friends or is this just professional?

@@gonzy_estavez Bane offered him a discount, and even offered him a little green something to help him get that motivation and muscles. The first dose is free of course, but if he wants more...

And Bane being a fitness coach makes a lot of sense. Venom aside, he's obviously a hardcore gymrat, and those guys just love giving people fitness advice.

I like the idea it came about naturally, just kinda “well I’d freeze is gonna be doing his memorial thing then I might as well cancel that days caper and schedule my gym sessions then” then they’re two potential collaborators down and everyone just sorta decides to take their days off then to make the scheduling easier

@@tallymanz6756 Had to ruin the lulz of your comment having 69 likes, because it was too wholesome NOT to like.

@@tallymanz6756 yeah

@@tallymanz6756 The idea of the joker seeing a chat message that says: Freeze: Hey dudes... Just wanted to tell you that next week is my aniversary and... Well. If you could, you know, chill out a bit and make that day a bit more peaceful. I would be thankful... Just saying. And just deciding to do something good for the community because he understands what's to love someone you can't be together with.

Sometimes there is even honor among super villains. Although I think joker Didn't even plan to clean up the park. I bet he was just driving by in his fancy purple hotrod, Noticed how filthy and unfun it was getting. ( joker actually does have a deep care for aesthetics, It goes with his style. You can't have a circus in the park if the park is dirty, and after the circus leaves the park, it needs to clean up the park. ) he realized it would be even more fun if it fell in line with everyone else's day off Just clean up, Gotham park to mess with Batman. Bombs attempt Of murder. Robbery. All of that aside. What the joker always wants most out of Batman is Mess with his head. And even doing something As mundane as this is more than enough to count. Remember, this is a guy who thought He could copyright fish by making them all have his smile. And then ended up having to pay so much to the IRS .He literally fears them more than Batman. I would not put something like this by him at all.

But why does he even need to go out for ice cream? His lair is in a literal fucking ice cream factory.

@@Inferno65 thats only in the lego batman game

@@Inferno65 not every version of it

@@Inferno65 ...it's the same ice cream place he and Nora used to go to

I have to agree with the other dude, he absolutely went into fucking town to same ice cream store him and his wife used to eat out all the time

Sometimes we forget some of these villains got really sad back stories, especially Mr.Freeze he's especially a sad case in any iteration of batman, good on them for taking days off and doing something more productive with their grievances

I think they just catch up while they're in Arkham Asylum.

How about 3. They know that Freeze needs this day, so they specifically co-ordinated this so that he can have spend his anniversary without any work obligations

Or 4 everyone (except Mr freeze I guess) wants to commit the biggest scheme ever by giving batman depression by realizing all he has is his job and if he doesn't have that who is he. As a fly is to a zapper or a soldier to war, batman is ultimately never to have a day peice as he is nothing without crime no matter the ramifications on his own being

Out of all the supervillains shown in the video, the only one who would actually do something like this in canon would be Joker, but only to troll batman lmao

It’s not that deep

The real question is... how can mr freeze even eat ice cream?

If his scheme is to get Bats wondering about his scheme, it has already failed. But he could always say it's cathartic, like everything els he does.

@@davidwuhrer6704 Well whether it fails depends on the motivation. The Joker's motives are often said to be known only to him. It may seem from the outside looking in that it was pointless, but that's kinda what I mean. If everything he does is part of some grand plan, it's not really a surprise that some wacky thing he did fits into the overarching story. But if every now and again, there seems to be literally no point to his actions, then predicting him becomes a lot tougher.

@@oliverholm3973 I see your point. You are saying that doing things that are not part of the plan is part of the plan. But for Batman to simply ignore the irrelevant, the motivation for it is irrelevant.

"I may be a criminal, Batsy, but even I take pride in my community!" is a line I can actually see the Mark Hamill joker saying.

The few times Joker has gone sane usually happened as a result of Batman being gone, so it's somewhat implied they drive each other to do what they do

Most of them are mentally ill, and so don't get fixed prison sentences; instead being able to leave Arkham whenever their conditions seem manageable. The others, I imagine, get off on a mistrial since "Batman caught him being shady" doesn't constitute strong evidence in court.

There is a surprising number of real criminals who seem to think the same thing. If someone called the cops over a different matter, they can't arrest you on your warrants because that _isn't why they were called_ , or they are convinced that you can't pull them over for "just" a suspended license or unregistered tags when there are "real criminals" and drunks you should be out busting. Like you can tell who is wanted or drunk without pulling cars over to check them out.

Well the Gotham politicians are corrupt so a law was probably passed on that concerning the deputization of vigilantes

Ironically, before the Animated Series, Mr. Freeze (or Mr. Zero, as he was originally called) was a C-list villain with no such tragic backstory. He was unceremoniously killed by Joker in Chuck Dixon's Robin series and was used in Grant Morrison's Animal Man as an example of a character no one will remember. Hell, Captain Cold was the main ice-themed villain in DC for decades.

Batman could deal with Mr. Freeze by just hireing him for Wayne Enterprises. All the guy wants is to have the resources to develop a cure for his wife illness/ his illness.

I teared up a little

@@cavareenvius7886 but what is the profit at

@@squidsquad8697 I don't think the profit would matter to Bruce if it'd help lessen the crimes committed around Gotham.

@@squidsquad8697 cryogenic technology can be used for a pretty good amount of things if you really utilize it. It can be used to keep perishables cold, it can keep the sick in stasis so their treatment can be undertaken without worry of death, and it has even more military applications. Freeze just needs to patent and sell his technology and he can fund his research while being classified as an asset to Wayne Corp

That sounds so twisted I wouldn't be surprise if he were to actually use that as an excuse in canon at some point.

Unless the main ingredient in that joker gas is chlorine

Mr freeze can't take a day off from his grief😥

Doesn’t Batman have like a multi billion dollar corporation that he could be running?

@@Saurophaganax1931 Does he want to run it though? Depends on the iteration I guess. Sonetimes he leaves it all to Lucius. In others he takes charge himself.

Idk, the New 52's take on Freeze was pretty bad. In that canon, he never met Nora before she was frozen. She's just some almost dead lady he's infatuated with.

@@TheNotoriousBTG Someone really looked at the one thing that makes Mr. Freeze a really good character and just casually fucking threw it out a window huh?

@@plantain.1739 Basically. I suspect it was done because they felt a creative block on how to write the character without rehashing the same plot points. And the authors that wrote that issue are good, though it could have been a mandate from higher ups.

@@TheNotoriousBTG Has anyone made him a climate activist? Maybe not the best idea (especially now) but atleast that seems like a better idea.

@@plantain.1739 I'm not certain. My comic pull list isn't as long as it once was, and it's been awhile since I've read anything with Freeze in it. Could be an interesting way to go, though they kinda already have Ivy as the climate activist Villian/ Anti-Hero. I feel like Freeze is one of those instances of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Riddle me this, who's banes brand new bestie? Me!

@@glendarjj3991 Honestly this all feels completely in character for everyone but Batman anyways. Joker's entire thing is that he's chaotic, of course he'd have unseen adventures of doing good deeds. It's all meaningless to him, the joke is that it doesn't matter either way. Riddler's biggest weakness is physicality, and Bane is Batman's superior. Bane's a merc. Riddler pays well.

Yeah he's always been my favorite too. Perhaps the most relatable villain, because I think most of us would do anything to save our wife/husband if we were in the same shoes.

Except for the one in "The Batman", although that Freeze had the coolest look.

He's an anti-villain, which is to say a villain with noble or selfless motivations. (The opposite of the anti-hero, who acts heroically for personal gain or benefit.) Villains are usually antagonists, but antagonists don't have to be villains.

The last thing you want to do is provoke him. Assuming he actually is doing something sinister, it probably begins when someone tries to detain him.

A lot of joker's traps are some form of "Touch me and this bad thing happens if you don't do this other thing to disarm it first"

@@davidwuhrer6704 Adding onto what the guy above me said, there really just isn't anything Bats could actually do about social inequality. You could throw as much money at the problem as you want, but as long as governments just don't do anything about it, you won't be helping at all.

@@ghidorah4695 There is a reason why it is the job of governments. The reason is people like Bruce Wayne. They benefit personally from social inequality. Not necessarily by giving them an excuse to assault petty criminals as a hobby, but mostly because it gives them power over others and keeps wages low. And the only reason some governments have become unable or unwilling to do this job is people like Bruce Wayne. The idea that the money issued by governments is wasted and therefore private enterprise is more efficient has encouraged deregulation and fostered monopolies, for the benefit of you get the idea. The phrase "golden parachute" is used unironically nowadays. "Revolving door" and "regulatory capture" have also become common. The root problem is the misbegotten idea that money is finite and what you can get for it is not, so there is incentive to extract as much money from the economy as possible while there are still things that can be bought. Which is enough to imply that Batman is not serious. But if he were, there are things he could do, easily. Not preventing good policies would be a start. The deregulated economy also calls people like him "job creators" even though the name of the game has been "downsizing" for decades now. Governments can create jobs which fosters the economy and reduces poverty, crime, and, yes, mental illness. But so can captains of industry. They don't even need to pay for it with their own money. But, as mentioned above, they have no incentive to do so. And as Margaret Thatcher stated when she privatised government services and deregulated the economy: "There is no such thing as society. There are only incentives." Famously, a Mr Musk has announced on a website he later bought that if the UN could present him with a plan for how a fraction of his inherited wealth could alleviate world hunger, he would pay the required amount. The UN did present him with that plan. Apparently he believed that to be impossible, because so far he has not kept his promise. He does donate enough money to a charity about homelessness to not pay any taxes, a charity that seems surprisingly ineffective and seems to use its funds in ways that return those donations to him. Batsy is in an even easier position because, for one, he is fictional, and for another, depending on writer, Gotham is a company town built by and around WayneCorp or, when it isn't, he has enough power and influence to reign in certain politicians he doesn't like. Now, back to governments not doing their job: When that happens, when enough people resort to crime to survive (which has higher risk, lower reward, and no government benefits compared to honest work), crime becomes organised. In some cases this has led to organised crime running hospitals and schools and creating jobs and fostering small businesses, effectively doing government work without the accountability of government. And in practically all instances of Batman, organised crime is a huge problem in Gotham City for Batman to do something about. (Although it would be WayneCorp who is selling the mobsters their hardware. Incentives.)
