Heart of Ice - A Beautiful B:TAS Tragedy 

I showed my wife this episode not only did she cry at the end she gasped after that line. She completely understood Mr. Freezes pain and motivation

@@savievere9759 I also cry at the end.

"Old and infirm as you are, I'd trade a thousand of my frozen years for your worst day."

It’s almost Shakespearean

This is one of the reasons why I believe 90's cartoons were the best and were good for kids it was cool and fun but so well written that it had a strong message and taught kids something as well as being interesting for adults to watch so you can watch it together with your parents.

Oh. You. Interesting. I've been following these videos and I appreciate how you all communicate with each other. It would warm my heart if that was possible.

A live-action movie with Patrick Stewart as Mr. Freeze is my greatest dream.

This is one of my all time favorite episode, second to the episode Almost Got Him, when five of Batman's Enemies, The Joker (who is voiced by the Legendary and Esteemed Actor Mark Hamill (and as the late, great, Legendary Actor Phil Hartman (R.I.P) who did the voice acting of Troy McClure in the Animated Series "The Simpsons" (Off-Topic, I'm still outraged that Pokemon didn't make the kids choice for favorite animated series again, You might Know Him (Mark Hamill) in other movies as Luke Skywalker In the star Wars Movies, and The Killer Doll Chucky In The 2019 Remake of Child's Play), The Penguin (In My Opinion Danny Devito was Amazing Portraying The Penguin In The 1992 Warner Bros Movie Batman Returns), Two-Face (also In My Opinion I think that Tommy Lee Jones Was Amazing Portraying Two-Face In The 1995 Warner Bros Movie Batman Forever), Poison Ivy, and Killer Croc, was playing a game of cards and talking about their Foe Batman, Second to another episode The Cat and The Caw, When Batman encounters a new Cat Burglar calling herself Catwoman (all right I have a tie between two women, One is Michelle Pfeiffer (who played the Catwoman in the 1992 Warner Brothers Movie Batman Returns), and the second one is Anne Hathaway (she was Catwoman in the 2012 Warner Brothers Movie The Dark Knight Rises), But When He's (Batman) Bruce Wayne, He meets a woman named Selina Kyle, This episode was a two parter, Third To Another Episode Perchance To Dream, etc. etc.

@kassandra odessa apparently Matt Reeves wants to adapt Heart of Ice for the sequel to The Batman. He also suggests Robin too and Robert apparently wants a 10 year old Dick so they can go full comic. The sequel sounds interesting and I'm excited for a less chromed out and muscle bound Freeze. My picks are Bryan Cranston, Mark Strong and Giancarlo Esposito, I know that fits the right age for a brilliant scientist accomplished in the world of cryogenics being turned into this ice cold villian. Plus they've got the looks and acting chops to fit the Battisonverse. I'm so excited to see a more Arkham or Animated Series inspire suit. I think they nailed that realistic but also cinematic suit in Knight.

And the Arkham games.

That line is very ironic, yet very brilliant. Because in the end of the episode, he shed tears.

@@krome431 the whole episode is iconic. It’s one of the best episodes of the best Batman animated series

True I never realized

Face Off I believe he called clayface by his real name when clayface “dies”

I’m sure he did the same with Two-Face.

Less often than calling two-face Harvey

Nope. Two-Face and Clayface also, have Batman reffering to them by their names.

Alden R. Davis Delivered in Michael Ansara's voice, it was like listening to someone speaking through an old telephone or early 20th Century radio

"To never again walk upon a summers day with a hot wind in your face, and a warm hand to hold. Oh yes, I'd kill for that." Another great line, at least in my opinion.

Love that line

"I failed you. I wish there were another way for me to say it. I cannot. I can only beg your forgiveness and pray that you hear me somehow. Someplace. Someplace where a warm hand waits for mine." Absolutely eviscerating closing line. Those last 2 lines are worth more then entire scripts.

@@Theomite Me whenever I drop a chip on the dirty dirty floor.... *sniff*

Yes. It's clear he DOES feel emotions. The desire for revenge is almost always driven completely by emotion, and in addition to Freeze having this, we can also feel the sadness and longing he still has within him.

@@Adamguy2003 can you imagine the existential crisis you'd be facing if you could never feel warmth again? Or the warm touch of another person? I can feel for Freeze and I relate through living in Canada. It's stupid cold sometimes in the winter and I can only image having to experience that for every living hour of your life, adapting from feeling warmth for decades to nothing and wearing a space suit on-top basically.

When you think that all you'll ever feel is loss, pain, sorrow, wouldn't you prefer to instead act like you feel nothing.

Awesome

The name of the studio was Spectrum. I honestly thought it was the best studio that animated Batman TAS. Telecom was good but their character acting wasn't as refined as the latter studio.

Now that's dedication to the craft.

I think he tried to convince himself he was emotionally dead but he actually wasn't.

He just buries his emotions and wants to make Ferris Boyle suffer by his Cryo gun, Instead Ferris was Apprehended For murder, Freeze was in arkham because he cannot survive warm temperatures And needs Cold temperature to survive.

Mr. Freeze says that to hide his pain, which isn't different from real life. People numb their pain to hide the hurt they go through or have been through.

I think the title itself ''Heart Of Ice'' is extremely ironic, because Freeze is perhaps the least cold person in the entire batman universe. His weakness isn't that he doesn't feel anything; it's that he feels too much.

Captain Jakemerica Scott Snyder himself, who wrote the new origin in the first place (possibly influenced by the editorial), retconned that new origin away.

Thankfully in rebirth they made it more like this version

@@Wyck1349 Good

@@rcbmmines4579 Scott Snyder is an overrated hack he made Batman too graphic and like Tom The Hack King didn't get Batman and had a reign of terror writing for Batman

Hah, Boyle to Boil, I just got it.

Is it weird I dont get it

@@The8B1tWarrior Temperature. Fries (freeze) became a monster of Ice, because of Boyle's (boil) hot impatient temper.

AJ Pappas Me too, although it became truly heartbreaking when I saw it again as a college student.

Yes, apparently those coolant chemicals can turn a timid scientist into a pessimistic poet, not quite sure how it works though.

Yes, it would move me to tears If I still had tears to shed

Holy shit, now that you mention it... Good Lord, it really IS Mignola's aesthetic, isn't it?

Burger Fiction Thank you very much! I never thought of that, but I can definitely see the connection now. Great observation!

Burger fiction... Meet beefy boi

Feat Of Clay is up there for me

Thanks, Owen! Welllll, there's always another episode of B:TAS! Maybe "On Leather Wings" or "Almost Got 'Im?"

Definitely, I've been waiting for a reason to talk about B:TAS haha!

Andy Randall I think he's saying some people saw the show before they saw those films.

JB0071051982 sub zero is arguably the best Batman film period

@@unclepalo lmao no.It s ok.Not the worst animated batman film set in the dcau but not the best

I have no idea, but that movie was definitely not a return to form like I was hoping.

Matt Draper i wish they would just leave the animated series behind and put their efforts into something new.

I think everyone wants to recapture the B:TAS magic. But if Timm can't with the new movie, then no one can and they really should move on.

corbenfan84 I think he really did make a huge difference

To be a comeback for an older audience, I was let down.

Core Ideas Thanks, buddy!

So good it was referenced in the Arkham Origins DLC: Cold, Cold Heart: "Take a seat, humanitarian."

Dude, it's extremely strange to compare the Mad Hatter and Mr. Freeze. These are literally two opposites - two kinds of love, one sincere, when Frieze, being a kind person, goes to evil deeds for the sake of the recovery of a loved one. There is literally a tragedy behind Mr. Freeze - the love of his life is at death's door, and his body literally cannot survive without a special suit. Thatch is literally an incel who invented love in his head himself, he was offended that Alice chose another person and literally all this is motivation to enslave the mind of the girl he loves and force her to love herself, and then say that he would rather kill her than she got to someone.

@@user-jf1wv5mw8u Sigh. I'm not comparing them. I said I thought they "were 2 of the best TAS episodes". There's no need for a diatribe and break down of either. Nowhere in my statement did I remotely 'compare' the two. I just said I thought they were really good. Don't be that guy. Clearly we both loved TAS. Just because I might think something of an episode doesn't negate what you might think of that one or another. Be better. Revel that we both enjoy and appreciate what Timm and Dini did.

Collin Wimbish Thank you very much!

5-Star JMar Thank you! I promise to never die!

Thanks! It's slowly getting there and sharing will always help the channel, so it's greatly appreciated.

We need to seriously start pumping out some mindless shite, with O-faces in the thumbnails, numerical rating systems and Minecraft let's play segments. That'll net us some easy subs... kill me

WEN CONFIRMED FOR STAR WARS EPISODE 9??? Click here to find out!

Agreed let's get this out there.

Glad you enjoyed it. So awesome of iamthatroby to give me a shoutout on his channel. He's awesome!

John Ivan Pasquil Thank you!
