Batman Arkham Origins Joker Meets Harley Quinn for the First Time : Play as The Joker

[@_Stromboli_]

Amazing how Joker can tell the truth about Batman and lie to harley at the same time

[@lag00n54]

+Stromboli he is the master of manipulation after all

[@Elemento0420]

Harley is just too gullible

[@JNJUNO]

@@artfex1289 maybe just maybe, Batman is such a good guy he'd rather see someone alive than dead?

[@JNJUNO]

I know what you mean but, where did he actually ever lie to Harley..?

[@ashtynplunkett8572]

I love how the Joker was actually talking about Batman the whole time but instead he worded it to manipulate Harley without her even knowing. She thinks he means he's finally found someone he can open up to which is her goal as a physiatrist. It's so ingenious and clever.

[@spasticpug5209]

It kind of made me feel bad for joker especially how batman was made as a monster that threw him in the chemicals Evil yet some sort of heart the joker has

[@arancienne]

Batman didn't throw him into the chemicals, he fell in, but he blames Batman, because if Batman wasn't chasing him, he wouldn't have fell in.

[@mayanfield6337]

I hasn't thogth about it to be honest lol wow

[@Amiguelado]

I thought she just fell because of how joker expresed himself and shit

[@beefcheeks69]

i know right

[@solidsword9241]

Harley: I don't have many friends. Joker: Well Harley, you got one now. Me: FUUUUCCCKKKK.....

[@eliainati3268]

That was the beginning of his manipulation

[@ExMachina70]

Whoever set up that Joker conversation with Harley Quinn was a friggen genius.

[@PerovNigma]

ExMachina70 It was fate.

[@SliverRogue2012]

The only way this scene would have been completely perfect is if Mark Hamill voiced the joker in this game.

[@deathmonkeysean]

Eh. Sounded nice. But the fact that joker turned a trained psychologist insane with a couple pretty words seems iffy to me

[@ExMachina70]

Sean Grogan i personally found it to be quite romantic.

[@deathmonkeysean]

I did as well. It is beautifully written and a great piece of dialogue. My only issue is that this scene made it look like a trained professional to go insane and become a devoted lover and what not in one paragraph.

[@GilCAnjos]

So Harley falls for Joker because she thinks he's fallen for her, when he actually fell for Batman

[@mayanfield6337]

omg omg he did felt for batman? I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that

[@mfae6003]

I have this whole theory on batman and joker being in love haha

[@MomoKanjaki]

@@mfae6003 lol You and me both.

[@soygato2722]

The joker can't love. Stop making him human

[@PalashaGabarra]

@@mfae6003 I don't think Batman feels the same way. The love is pretty one sided.

[@roykeane8670]

How the eff is it possible that video game writers are far superior to live action writers, this scene is far better than suicide squad.

[@harshses33]

Suicide Squad rushed this scene it was like 20 sec, Stupid.

[@LadyKataNova]

Maybe because the videogame writers know the characters really well and have a lot of time to improve the scenes. David ayer wrote SS in six weeks!

[@shai5651]

+willi jones to be fair, that's like half of the Joker's screentime.

[@fangsabre]

because the video game writers had more time. and used the original origin not the fucking New 52 one

[@angelofdeath8739]

Because they are! That was what the profession of game writer meant. Game means "Better than anything" and writer. Better than any writer is game writer in Ancients Hyroglyphycs

[@ArthurBandeira1]

Man.. that was WAY better than the Joker/Harley meeting scene in the Suicide squad. That one was just, like, "gimmie a machine gun" "right you are mr puddin"

[@payne7473]

Extended cut is way better as it showcases the Joker slowly driving her insane and abusing her in some moments.

[@kiwiana444]

mr puddin 😭

[@TheJotaroKujo]

I love how the Joker's like "LOL I was actually talking about Bats, but yeah sure, why not, even I'm not crazy enough to turn down some pussy"

[@unspecified641]

lol I was thinking the same thing

[@estefpowers173]

hahaha yeah

[@mayanfield6337]

PAHAHAHAH OMGGGGG BUT THE JOKER into bat dicks

[@randomrachel7049]

DONT MOVE, FREAK! I think he's talking to you. omg! I lost it right there! 😂😂😂😂

[@LadyKataNova]

Classic joker.

[@mayanfield6337]

hahah that was a good one

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

He was talking to Batman though haha

[@JoeySehn]

I love the joker dude😂😂😂

[@anumeon]

I love the fact that the actor who does Joker, actually manages to sound more and more as Mark Hamill (AKA the one true Joker) as the dialogue progresses,

[@autobitch7993]

troy baker is one of my favorite voice actors in gaming

[@strahinjagov]

this scene was done beautifully, they didn't even need to show the rest because you just get it.

That aged terribly and amazingly

[@arlenekitty1]

And remember kids, this all happened on Christmas Eve.

[@annettemaple2835]

this is beautiful. this is fantastic. this is amazing. it perfectly captured how the Joker feels about Batman and how he managed to descend even further into himself in trying to place his newfound discovery and realization of batman and how it coincides with his life. But its even more amazing in that he managed to entangle Harley by a sort of accident. And to think how Harley has her own story in that she feels like this and it shows how she didn't run away with the joker because she was a lovesick puppy who wanted affection, but because she saw someone who could understand...

[@ame7272]

The writing is amazing but also the delivering from both actors is amazing as well.

[@Vinny_Great]

You fucking absolutely, god damn right, mate!

[@josephpercy8772]

Just in case anyone wants to know, there's still more dialogue during the fight after Joker says "My favorite stage." You REALLY have to drag the fight out to hear it all.

[@redfox1366]

Really good all things considered. Clever how they paralleled lying to Quinn with his love for Batman. The part where she automatically loves him is rushed though. Should've saved that for later.

[@theredstonefortress]

He is insanely genius!

[@wariyoshidirector]

I just realized something. When Harley says "Acceptance" and Joker laughs and says, "My favorite stage," which we, of course, assume he means as a comedy stage. The way he laughs about it, though, it might have a double-meaning. He might mean acceptance is his favorite stage of the 5 stages of loss (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance), because he's been through all the rest due to the death of his wife and he enjoys the acceptance stage.

[@unouloveme5495]

I thought of that too, but it could also be acceptance of what he has become, just a thought

[@titularhero]

@@unouloveme5495 I'm fairly sure everyone thought he meant the stage of grief

[@SuperZeldaGirl]

I like to see this as joker not even wording it to try trick Harley and that he’s simply talking and that it’s only at the end he realises how Harley’s feeling and that’s the moment he starts to use her.

[@Preytorcam]

Woah....... The jokers words were surprisingly touching...

[@shaunkirtley1223]

its an interesting amount of perspective on who the joker is, it is also a good spin on how Harley fell for him and also the jokers feelings on batman, what with Harley believing that everything he was talking about, the one person he feels understands him and who "completes" him in a sense the "one he met tonight" was herself when in reality he was talking about batman. really sets up both of there obsessions well.

[@kojK3U]

Jokers mind always makes me go "Wow reality you got screwed over by The Joker"

[@OmkarKulkarniLive]

This is was better than The Killing Joke, Animated movie.

[@JoviLevi]

Says more about the latter, frankly.

[@HominidMachinae]

That's because this was basically a CGI version of The Killing Joke, the seminal comic, at least the Joker's bits.

[@itachiuchiha2095]

It seems to me that The Joker is not afraid of death, because really, he wants to die and with a bang. He sees fate as evil and I see it as him causing destruction to show the true nature of what Gotham really is. Corrupt and not able to be tamed. Batman saving his life is almost like a mercy that he constantly refuses the Joker at every turn, causing Batman to be the Joker's obsession. Why is Batman the only one willing to save his life at every turn, knowing that he is Batman's possibly greatest enemy and knows that he will kill again?

[@fist-of-doom487]

The Origin story they refrenced here for the Joker is truly as sad one and was actually the first time he met Batman before he became Joker. Before he was Joker he was an Engineer who was failing at a career in Standup Comedy. He had a wife who was about to have a child, he was broke and they lived in a terrible apartment. One day at a bar a group of thugs are talking about breaking into a chemical plant that's working on some strange chemical and recruit the sad man to pose as The Red Hood and help them break in. Just moments before it happens he gets a call that his wife's died due to an electric appliance failure that killed her. She was the reason he agreed to do the crime and now that she was gone he wanted to leave, but the criminals wouldn't let him. Once in Batman catches him and accidentally knocks him into the chemicals and he gets flushed out of the plant. As he took of the disguise he discovered the chemicals bleached his skin white and turned his hair green. He looked like a clown, and it broke him. This was just a cruel joke the universe made. A sad man who lost everything has been made a clown, and he laughed. He laughed loud and hard. He would be the cruel joke that would ruin peoples lives. He wanted to show the everyone how cruel the world was and to show them their whole lives are nothing more than a monstrous, demented, joke. All it took was one bad day to turn a normal man into a monster.

[@itachiuchiha2095]

That was a good post, man. Mind sharing the source? I remember reading something similar to that.

[@fist-of-doom487]

I'm sure you have seen people talk about it but the Origin Story was in the Batman Comic called "The Killing Joke"

[@itachiuchiha2095]

Ah, thanks! I will check that out. I have heard of that title.

[@fist-of-doom487]

That would make a little sense, because he rarely has shown the desire to save himself. But his near death almost always comes right after he did something so horrible that good people would willing to do bad things. I think his end goal is to not simply die but bring as many people as he can down to his level, if he happens to die in the process then so be it.

[@outcastpov9366]

I just luv the fact that Joker seduced Harley by talking about how he thinks of Batman

[@outcastpov9366]

I wish he also did this in Batman animated series instead of making up a bunch of crap about an abusive father

[@Noodlemonkey7]

Intellectual Jizz! The Joker is a psychopathic genius and I adore him. His mind is such a seductive Wonderland and he is the Rabbit that I keep chasing after. I can't get enough. I really feel like he should have his own game.

Gotta admit, before this game, I didn't have very high hopes for the new Joker voice. But now I'm glad they got Troy doing the role, he really sells it

[@demetriusmack5221]

What.. this is Troy and not Hammil?? They are identical

[@Sickdistic]

not identical

thats because the idea of playing Troy as the joker was to sound like a younger version of the joker so yes theyre meant to sound alike but not spot on identical

I have to agree with the Joker. I used to think fate was evil and was completely predetermined. A few years ago, I realized it was the opposite, we create destiny, not it creating us. I have as of yet to reach a moment my whole life has been building up too, but it will happen.

harley quinn and joker were the partners in crime. who ever created their love story is a genius esp. the narration how a psychologist falls inlove with a pyschotic patient. how harley relate herself to joker who feels alone inside that why he wants to make everyone smile with his evil yet crazy antics.

Uh theyre both straight men. Joker isnt gay at all. If anything Joker wants to prove a point that Batman is no different than us. That he can kill he just stops himself. Thats why Joker does what he does. Hes trying to drive Bats into killing him

you should watch Batman the Animated Series Harley Quinn origin episodes. this is kindof like a condensed version of that but with imagery to make it clear he's talking about Batman not Harley.

Suicide squad needed to do the Arkham asylum scene like this

[@insertnamehere4269]

Extremely late to the party but interesting thought. In high security prisons and psychiatric facilities doctors are not allowed to tell them their name or anything about themselves. This definitely adds a whole new perspective when harley tells him her name and the trust she felt with him.
