The second big achievement of Batman the Animated serie after Two-Face rebuild...the rebuild of Mr Freeze and his backstory...Before that episode, he was a C or D vilain with a cool ice gun, after that episode, he became a Shakespearian tragedy...It win the Emmy without question, every dialogue are amazing, so many chilling line !! 3rd achievement of the serie will come soon...

Yes the Joel Schumacher version of mr. Freeze tried combining the original Ice Pun Mr. Zero with the Bruce Timm Mr. Freeze.

I thought the Batman Arkham games did Mr. Freeze justice, including his resolution with Nora in the Arkham Knight DLC.

[@MMTrigger]

Freeze was actually killed by Joker in the comics at the time because DC was retiring the character. During the Knightfall arc though, Freeze woke up in a GCPD morgue talking about a failsafe. In fact, back in the sixties, DC was going to retire Catwoman and Riddler, thinking kids were scared of them. But with the cast of the Adam West movie going on PR shows, they learned that kids liked them and kept them around.

[@Indego84]

What's great about this series is that many of the 'normal' villains like Rupert Thorne and Ferris Boyle are actually more monstrous than the more outlandish supervillains like Mr. Freeze and Two-Face.

[@AuspexAO]

And people mistakenly think Bruce is out to help the rich, but he spends a lot of time dismantling the rich assholes that are behind the villains.

We are not even in the most disguising one. Daggett was so infamous that was even featured in Dark Knight Rises, played by Ben Mendelsohn.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

they’re more the villains who get to blend into society which is why they are allowed to do a lot of harm, though Mr freeze and many other villains have tried to wipe out gotham and the world before and i think that makes them pretty bad.

[@sparkshark789]

Probably the only exception to this trend is Joker, who was a hitman before his transformation.

I love Michael Ansara's voice acting as Mister Freeze. He has to use that mechanical monotone yet he still manages to make you feel the character's rage and pain and sorrow.

I think that as good as his Mr Freeze is, he made a far better Brainiac. That villain in Justice League was up there with Darkseid for being terrifying.

[@bencebotye3904]

Don't want to be rude, but this is the spirit I never like in Frank Miller interpretation of the Bat(also Zack Snyder). His rogue gallery is infamous not just because they are iconic characters but also they are foils to Batman himself, most of them had familiar experiences with tragedy what molded them into what they become. He always emphasized with them, just as much as the innocents he sworn to protect. There are multiple version of the character of course, but this is one of the element made him to a hero, without this just a maniac sociopath.

[@Lazrael32]

not sure how killer moth would fit into that.... but yeah i have always disliked frank miller's interpretation. It's also wrongly credited as why batman went back to his roots. It is interesting to see more and more people seem to be agreeing that his stuff wasn't that good. but hey art is subjective.

[@bencebotye3904]

@@Lazrael32 Miller's early works with Batman was reasonable. But the man got crazy in the 2000s, and his early writing about sex and violence become uncontrolled. The 80s was famous about featuring complicated themes in the world of superheroes, but a generation of comic writers are like D&D from Got, don't understand that being edgy without substance is juvenile and comedic.

[@jp3813]

Imagine if Joker is a Superman villain while Darkseid is a Batman villain, outside of the Justice League. I doubt that the matchups would be iconic. Parallels w/ the hero really are key in creating the best nemeses.

“Mr. Freeze is in the back, chillin’?” 😄

[@kaybaumann4989]

“Think of it, Batman. To never again walk on a summer's day with the hot wind in your face and a warm hand to hold. Oh yes, I'd kill for that!” There’s so much awesome dialogue in that episode and I think the opening and final monologue are even better, just so damn good. Easily one of the best episodes of all DCAU shows, also Freeze’s suit was designed by Hellboy’s creator.

[@Harri927]

Heart of Ice is one of the best episodes in the Batman TAS. They really nailed Mr. Freeze right down to the letter T.

[@anarchomando7707]

Nailed it? Mr freeze was a joke villain before this. They completely built it from the ground up. Any future rendition will most likely use this back story

[@danielsessions7808]

I re-watched this episode while I had to self-isolate in my dorm for being exposed to corona, gotta say the speech Freeze gives about killing just to be able to go do something like walk on beach, feel the wind, hit different. And that was only 2 weeks for me and I was losing it.

[@popeye697]

By dude, you mean Ferris Boyle

[@dannybob42]

The story that changed Mr. Freeze forever. Before this, Mr. Freeze was at most a gag character popularized by the Adam West series where 3 different actors played him, Mr Freeze simply would be after Batman because he exposed him to a 'solution of instant freeze' that meant his body could only exist in the cold. When Paul Dini got his hands on him though, he revitalized Mr. Freeze as a tragic character, Dr. Victor Fries, giving him the Nora backstory to add further purpose to his plight. A newer, more imposing look aided in creating the blueprint of how Mr. Freeze is seen today, and the episode skyrocketed Batman TAS' popularity, winning a Daytime Emmy. Mr. Freeze would indeed return in a straight to video movie called Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero Fun Fact: Mark Hamill voices Ferris Boyle, just to add to his list of TAS voicework They definitely tried to homage this episode in the Batman & Robin movie, it's just that the rest of the film doesn't carry well

[@popeye697]

Fun fact: Batman Returns was so gross to WB execs that they took the franchise from Tim Burton and gave it to Joel Schumacher so they could sell more family friendly merchandise. In fact, everytime WB ends something the fans like, it's because they are trying to maximize their merchandising sales.

[@benschultz1784]

Thus why the 90s Batman movies are split up into the two good ones and the two 120-minute toy commercials

[@CitizenoftheWorld1]

Makes sense. I loved the Schumacher Batman movies as a kid then laughed my ass off watching it as an adult

[@GreatGarloo]

I was expecting Rana to tear up during this one but, no. It's been over 20 years but Freeze's monologue at the end still gets me every time.

[@jonjohns8145]

The Voice of Mr Freeze was done by a Legendary Actor Michael Ansara Who Also played Commander Kang on Several Star Trek Episode of the Original Series, Deep Space Nine and Voyager. He was also Elric the Technomage on Babylon 5. One of the most distinct voices and presence on the screen in my opinion.

[@tyqwanmills03]

There was a solo Batman movie in the DCAU called Sub Zero that had Mr.Freeze as the villain if that's the one you're referring to

[@ninavale.]

This is one of the episodes of this show that never fails to hit me right in the feels. They made Mr. Freeze almost fit for a Sheakspirian tragedy. With the sad backstory, lost loved one, and the poetic lines and everything.

[@popeye697]

Arnold was actually perfect casting for Mr. Freeze. His performance is only bad because he was directed to do it that way. If they showed him this episode and told him to play it that way, he would've done it justice. Arnold is low key a very good actor.

[@anthonyrangel7239]

I mean when he wasn't reading the cheesy and hammy script his expressions in the more somber scene look so genuine anything that involved him and his wife arnie's acting shows everything else in that movie is pure Schumacher shlock

[@Reivanhist]

Not Schumacher, but the Warners. Schumacher agreed to the film only because he thought he could save it, but in the end he had almost no control over it. When the script does not interfere, the film can be very soulful, and here you can see the real Schumacher. That's why people are asking for a director's version of Batman Forever. Here are just two scenes and theatrical versions of the film. Here's the real Schumacher, not the producer's nipples. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6PcYneql6uWqZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2LXk39uoZp0rJo

Arnold made arguably the most money off of that movie. This was because he took a lightly reduced rate with a percentage of toy sales going to him in his contract.

"I failed you. I wish there were another way for me to say it. I cannot.

There's two recent movies such as Batman and Harley and Justice League vs the Fatal Five that are debatably canon to this universe and are open to interpretation according to the producers.

[@Drawkcabi]

Notice the Empire Strikes Back references? The goon being put in the chemical bath looking just like Luke in the bacta tank and Freeze hanging Batman upside down with his feet stuck in ice like the wompa did with Luke. This is the first episode with a character they knew would be voiced by Mark Hamill, and they saw the chance to put those easter eggs in there. Originally Tim Curry was going to be the voice of the Joker and he recorded the first few episodes with Joker. As wonderful and fantastic Tim Curry's voice is, they just weren't getting what they were looking for with him, so they recast. Mark Hamill had been campaigning to do a voice for this show, and he got the chance with Ferris, but then he tried out for Joker and they loved him and had him go back and rerecord the episodes that Curry had already done.

[@Ravenclaw75908]

I love mr freeze for multiple reasons, but this will always remain one of the best episodes in television for me in general. I know if it was my family behind that glass I would do anything to save them. Even if it meant resorting to violence and crime. Because when it comes to the ones you love, the lines between good and evil get blurred beyond recognition.

[@ShelbyBaby27]

@10:16 You guys have the original version. At some point they edit out Batman saying "My God" and replaced it with "My Goodness" because it wasn't considered "child friendly language". Hearing Batmam say "My God" as a kid registered how serious it was to me.

[@PassiveSmoking]

This episode is a landmark episode. It took a very minor character that nobody had previously cared about and turned him into a tragic antivillain. In fact it basically completely redefined the character of Mr. Freeze and all subsequent versions of the character have been abased o this episode's origin story to some extent.

[@SellavinAtoms]

Fun fact: it was this very episode that cemented Mr freeze as a character in DC comics, for this episode he was just known as Mr zero a comic relief comic book villain and even Adam West it's time as Batman but after this about the tragedy of his wife how you got screwed over by his boss and made to be a freak you can only live in cold temperatures forever he became one of the best characters ever and they liked his character and backstory so much that they made him Canon to the comics so basically this episode made Mr freeze a legendunlike Batman and Robin and Schwarzenegger's portrayal of him that made him look like a joke.

[@MrFarnanonical]

Arnold as Mr Freeze was almost a perfect casting. I'm being serious. It seems so arbitrary that you would have Mr. Olympia as a scientist but the reason he was cast was because of the terminator. Mr. Freeze is supposed to be emotionless. That's the most important aspect of his character. He's driven by revenge but He's cold, calculated, and completely emotionless. EXCEPT when it comes to his wife. that's his shred of humanity. If Arnold and the director actually understood the role he could have been great at it. You have to remember that the Batman movie with Mr Freeze came out in like, 97. True lies came out in 94 which was the first movie besides the terminator movies where Arnold's acting wasn't awful, on the contrary, it was great. My point is, I do believe that Arnold could have done that role justice had the writers and director known anything about batman and Mr. Freeze. It's a damn shame, because he's probably the best Batman villain (yes, aside from The Joker, obviously).

[@douglassnyder9206]

I considered the part when Batman sneezes after saving that thug to be kind of funny. Anyway, it should be noted that the voice-role of Mr. Freeze was originally meant for Anthony Hopkins as well as Anthony Zerbe before Michael Ansara (RIP) was cast. Not to mention that the design of Mr. Freeze was done by Mike Mignola of Hellboy fame.

[@JTaylortrois]

BTAS pretty much got Christopher Lloyd in position for an easy layup in terms of casting with this episode but WB passed to Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[@babymariobrother3793]

I love how Mr Boyle is the bad guy but Mr Freeze is the one who put him 3 million dollars in debt.......when they decided to cut Mr Freezes funds because his work is going nowhere Mr Freeze pulls out a gun (which is understandable) and gets killed because Mr Boyle defends himself

[@generalgrievous5483]

Freeze , two face reimagining and Harley Quinn the 3 greatest creations of this show

[@blueroninstudios]

Two titans of two famous franchises had voices in this epeisode: Mark Hamill was Ferris Boyle and Michael Ansara who played a badass Klingon on the original 60's Star Trek voiced Mr. Freeze. Also, Im kinda sad because this was the most perfect version of Mr Freeze, and people sleep on it because its not in a major live action motion picture, but at least its better than the god-awful pun-heavy Shumacher version. I'd always wanted more episodes with Mr. Freeze because he's a sympathetic villain, unlike the Joker. I'd really love for Hollywood to do a serious take on Freeze like this episode does, he's such an interesting character IMHO.

In the end of Batman and Robin, Alfred also had the disease Mr Freeze's wife had and put her in a cryogenic state until a cure could be found. Batman found a cure for Alfred, and offered to make one for Freeze's wife, which is why he was willing to sit out his term and not cause trouble. Also in Batman and Robin also had Batgirl, played by Alicia Silverstone. However in Batman and Robin Batgirl was Alfred's Granddaughter instead of Gordon's daughter.

Coming soon: the deleted scene where Mr. Freeze is banned from Mario Kart, or 'Gotham Kart'. Some of the most acclaimed 22 minutes on animated television. The whole show technically won awards for good writing but earned special mention for this. I always like when Freeze is juxtaposed with Batman showing the dangers of his eternal mission leaving him too 'cold', robotic and detached to have any friends or partners. That's the key difference between them, and it's always good to see Bruce recognize that and willingly pull back from the abyss.

Well these guys aren't gonna be happy to know that in Batman Beyond, Nora ends up leaving Freeze after he finally cures her

Attempt #190: of trying to get The Normies to check out Symbionic-Titan or Primal. Both made by Genndy Tartakovsky, the guy who made Samurai Jack.

Funny enough, his wife turns out to still be alive, but frozen in the cryogenic chamber. She was used as a bargaining chip in a later episode and, in the animated movie... Well, let's say the ending is very well deserved for him.

Arnold was the only good part of that movie. I would love him back as a serious Fries.

My favorite version of Mr. Freeze! I was hoping they adopted that for Gotham but like everything including logic they went another way. "Remember, there may be some momentary discomfort." R.I.P. Michael Ansara Best Mr. Freeze ever! How about reacting to Gargoyles, 90s Spiderman, Samurai Pizza Cats and/or Brimstone (a sci fi series that only lasted one season co-starring John Glover).
