"To never again walk on a summers day with the hot wind in your face,
and a warm hand to hold."
There are many live-action, not for kids films that could never pull off a dialog this shakespearean, this touching. The real tragedy, the real emotion of this episode is something few live action movies get to, let alone new cartoon shows.
I think I missed this one! What I love even more about this episode, besides poor Victor Freeze, is that it has music from my favorite movie 'Edward Scissorhands'! Makes sense though, since the animated series was based on Tim Burton's Batman with the original theme by Danny Elfman. (Same guy that did the Scissorhands music)
@MarkArandjus I may be wrong, but I'm almost certain that's Summer Gleeson, the news reporter. She was in a lot of episodes, actually. Still, nice comment, I got a chuckle!
When they make new batman movies in 20 or 30 years from now, they really should come back to this version of Mr. Freeze. Out of all the Batman villains in the show, the 2 villains who had the most touching and sympathetic stories were Two Face and Freeze. I really want to see this backstory done on the silver screen properly (rather than people remembering Mr. Freeze for Arnold's monstrosity)
Best Line: "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 told. Oh yes, I'd kill for that."
Paul Dini's Emmy win for Outstanding Writing in an Animated Program was well-deserved!
@rioslakerfan123 Agreed. It works on two levels. It shows how Freeze is fooling himself when he claims to be emotionless. It also lets the audience know that despite his M.O., Freeze mourns the lose of the "warmer" things of life.
They give Mr. Freeze a cell with a huge barred window? Lol and how does he survive being exposed like that? Still, I wish the show were on today. It was one of the best cartoons ever. The animation style was great, the villains were all developed well, and the storylines were dark enough. Batman and The Joker were awesome too.
I heard a recording of Robert Frost reading Fire and Ice when I was a kid. The similarities are uncanny. I'd love to find another recording nowadays to compare.
I humbly disagree, though. Freeze, like Dent and Bruce, is a victim burdened with the weight of despair and revenge. Whenever Batman looks at Mr. Freeze, he will remember his parents, dead in that dark alley. He'll remember Rachel Dawes. But most of all, he'll remember Harvey Dent, laying dead and unblinking on the ground after cruel fate had it's way with him. And Bruce will be forced to see, in the icy mirror of Freeze's glass helmet, his own rage. His own helplessness.
Mr. Freeze character in the Batman Animated Series did very well, not like Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze in Batman & Robin with ice puns and cheesy comedic lines.
@23456789Alexis Boyle promoted Gothcorp as an open, reliable, "family" company, an image that probably appealed to the emotional Mr. Freis, though it was but a facade. Bruce in contrast allowed the world to see him as the irresponsible, aloof billionaire playboy, an image which unfortunately came to be associated with his company as well. Freis most likely fell victim to misjudgement, and after Wayne Enterprise's saving his wife in Subzero, himself wonders what could have been.
What would have made it more intense after Boyle's begging would be replacing Freeze's next line with "I begged" emphasizing the "I" and then going into the Nora nightmares.
This was not the comic book story and that is a good thing because it is way more awesome it is used in arkham city and everything else with freeze in it
Very well done -- only one complaint, and a slight idea:
Complaint: no fade out to the video, the music abroptly ends.
Slight idea: At the end after his speech of failing, a breif still of the broken doll figure on the floor from "Deep Freeze" could have been used to symbolize lose and failure.
@droge085 the differance wasn't what they were, but what made then that way.
mr. freeze was always driven to this by the loss of nora.
Dent was driven to madness by the notion that nothing we can do can change the world.
thats how mr. Freeze is like batman, they're both driven by loss and the hope to change, where as Dent is merely "going through the motions" as he sees it.
@droge085 Well they got Two Face right but they did not give him enough screen time...seriously it would have been a better idea to have two face the main villian in Dark Knight Rises. But I do think Mr. Freeze is the most tragic batman villian.
@droge085 yeah ofcoarse I already knew that Im just saying I think Mr. Freeze is more tragic than Two Face. Just throwing this out there but Mr. Freeze and Two Face are my favourate batman villians. which is why I think Two Face needed more screentime in Dark Knight or be the main villian in Dark Knight Rises. As for Arnolds Mr. Freeze well he was just plain silly but I think arnold could have played a serious Mr. freeze.
nailed mr freeze's role very well. freeze is calm, cold and emotionless. there shouldn't have any happy or positive emotions, no laughs. schwazeneggar could've been better as freeze if he acted the way he did in the terminator
I love that pretty much everything good about Mr. Freeze came from the TV series :P Even his name came from the 60's series, before which he was "Mr. Zero"
I wish they went with Mr Freeze for their last Nolan Movie. No offense to Bane and Catwoman Fans but this would have been perfect for a Nolan Batman Movie
I remember watching this episode when I was a kid. To this day, this episode has some of the best dialogue and writing I've ever heard in any TV show or movie I've seen.
After seeing this amazing episode, it's hard to believe Mr. Freeze started off as a forgettable C-list villain. TAS elevated him to A-lister with this amazing reconstruction of the character.
Is that the "Edward Scissorhands" theme song occasionally playing throughout this video? If so, good choice for a video about Mr. Freeze, one of my favorite and most sympathetic villains of Batman.
This was an awesome episode for they days when people weren`t afraid to mix cartoons with food for thought; just because the target audience is children doesn`t mean that you have to spoon feed them pink unicorns and fart jokes! -_- 90s cartoons FTW
This Mr. Freeze, along with the rest of Batman TAS for that matter, is fantastic. His backstory is tragic and he is compelling at the same time. Unfortunately, the comic Mr. Freeze is an overrated one trick pony. If he could be more like this Freeze that would be great.
im not ashamed to admit that i kind of cried for mr freeze in the series because they played him out to be tragic man who lost everything. its kind of the opposite of batman and yet they are the same.
Those lines...like NC said. They pretty much write themselves. My favorite villain after seeing this episode (which was my first viewing of Mr Freeze back then).
The style and feel of this series really influenced some of my behavior and style (like my fidora and coat...along with the tommy gun 'n stuff).
Who else remembers when kid's cartoons were allowed to deal with death, revenge, loss of humanity and the effects of grief on a human mind? Yeah, I miss the good ol' days.
Yeah, now they over simplify things in order to make the next generations increasingly dumber and thus make everyone into a single mass of idiots that is easy and convenient to control. That's the current world order.
Actually, their purpose is not to make the next generations dumber, since intelligence is a genetic thing and intellectual capacity doesn't really increase or decrease over time. But through what they're doing, they're trying to decrease people's willpower and desire to improve and progress over a certain level, a level that they are trying to reduce as much as possible in order to make manipulation of the masses that much easier.
@Ofir84 True enough, but can you honestly say they're as well dealt with as they were in TAS? Hell, even abusive relationships, racial prejudice and insanity are dealt with on a level that would put most adult shows to shame.
@CapnMarvel22 Are you kidding? Late 80s/early 90s cartoons weren't allowed to even use the word 'kill' any more than a few times per series. They had to find synonyms for kill that rarely sounded threatening at all. And Batman was one of the only cartoons that dealt with such dark subject matter. Other cartoons of the time were nowhere near as deep...
I am an emotionless fuck, oh yes I am. Yet, I get tears to my eyes when I see the sorrow of Mr Freeze. He is and will always be the only human(even though he is a cartoon) I will ever feel compassion towards.
wow.......thats really sad...i mean he did not want to destroy the world or take over it .....he just wanted to right the wrong that others have caused him.....batman and robin made him look like shithead.....they turned such a well made batman villain into some peice of trash everyday badguy......sad
I absolutley love Mr.Freeze's voice. He's my favorite Batman villan. He has no love, sympathy, or compassion for anyone else except, his beloved Nora. If anyone stands in his way, GAME OVER. You know this guy's serious when he explains to Batman: "To never again walk on the summer day with a hot wind on your face, and a warm hand to hold...ahh...yes...I'd kill for that..."
@viciousclan I totally agree. He does show some compassion in a few of his later appearances though -- he helps Batman save a city full of strangers in the sequel episode to this one.
Just realized Batman is such a hippocrite... what happened to "I am Vengeance!" No justice... wtf batman being a dick and stealing Victor's closure...
@Helionova15 Video tape evidence = vengeance. Murder is intolerable even for Batman, who had a chance to kill his parents' murderer. No hypocrisy here.
@Helionova15 But that wasn't my point. The video tape evidence is justice to Batman's point-of-view and vengeance in Freeze's. But the latter still wanted to take a life. Even Batman chose not to do that to his parents' murderer.
@TheMichaelThonger In another episode, it was revealed that Arkham is where you take sick and injured bad guys (kind of like how Bellevue is in our world). He's not insane but because of his medical condition he needs special equipment to stay alive (his cell has to be kept below zero degrees Fahrenheit at all times, which would be difficult to maintain in a regular prison).
I take it that Schumacher didn't even bother watching this episode. Such a poetic character reduced to just speaking in ice puns by Schwarzenegger. One of the most idiotic decisions in film history.
"Think of it Batman. To never again walk on a summer's day with a hot wind in your face and a warm hand to hold. Oh yes, I'd KILL for that"
I just cant help but be sympathetic towards Mr. Freeze. You can really the anger he has even though he became emotionless. His story is one of the more tragic in the series which makes it one of the best episodes.
This is a perfect example of why TAS is and always will be the greatest non comic book adaptation of Batman; how I wish someone would syndicate it and bring it back to TV
@endersgame55 plus, since he froze the doors and windows to that building at the end, he would have killed everyone else in the room, too (slowly and painfully from hypothermia). That's pretty bad, even if you don't count what happened to Boyle.
@ internetthemepark Love this vid, but I do have to mention something. While you are more than entitled to your opinion regarding the Christopher Nolan films, I feel the need to point out that they did not steal the "bad guy who's not really all that bad, just heartbroken and a bit unstable after an attack/accident combo that both killed his love and left him disfigured" aspect. That was already blatantly in the comics. Its one of the core themes of the character for God's sake!
What "justice" did Mr. Freeze really end up getting? So tragic...

Yeah, now they over simplify things in order to make the next generations increasingly dumber and thus make everyone into a single mass of idiots that is easy and convenient to control. That's the current world order.

Actually, their purpose is not to make the next generations dumber, since intelligence is a genetic thing and intellectual capacity doesn't really increase or decrease over time. But through what they're doing, they're trying to decrease people's willpower and desire to improve and progress over a certain level, a level that they are trying to reduce as much as possible in order to make manipulation of the masses that much easier.

@Ofir84 True enough, but can you honestly say they're as well dealt with as they were in TAS? Hell, even abusive relationships, racial prejudice and insanity are dealt with on a level that would put most adult shows to shame.

@CapnMarvel22 Are you kidding? Late 80s/early 90s cartoons weren't allowed to even use the word 'kill' any more than a few times per series. They had to find synonyms for kill that rarely sounded threatening at all. And Batman was one of the only cartoons that dealt with such dark subject matter. Other cartoons of the time were nowhere near as deep...

I am an emotionless fuck, oh yes I am. Yet, I get tears to my eyes when I see the sorrow of Mr Freeze. He is and will always be the only human(even though he is a cartoon) I will ever feel compassion towards.

This video is amazing. And the music you used is beautiful. It sounds so familiar; could anyone tell me what its called? Thanks!

I absolutley love Mr.Freeze's voice. He's my favorite Batman villan. He has no love, sympathy, or compassion for anyone else except, his beloved Nora. If anyone stands in his way, GAME OVER. You know this guy's serious when he explains to Batman: "To never again walk on the summer day with a hot wind on your face, and a warm hand to hold...ahh...yes...I'd kill for that..."

@viciousclan I totally agree. He does show some compassion in a few of his later appearances though -- he helps Batman save a city full of strangers in the sequel episode to this one.

Just realized Batman is such a hippocrite... what happened to "I am Vengeance!" No justice... wtf batman being a dick and stealing Victor's closure...

@Helionova15 Video tape evidence = vengeance. Murder is intolerable even for Batman, who had a chance to kill his parents' murderer. No hypocrisy here.
jp3813 4 months ago
@jp3813 He should have said no this isnt vengeance instead of "no... justice derp" then XD see ur point tho batman was a noob in tas
Helionova15 4 months ago
@Helionova15 But that wasn't my point. The video tape evidence is justice to Batman's point-of-view and vengeance in Freeze's. But the latter still wanted to take a life. Even Batman chose not to do that to his parents' murderer.

Why is Mr Freeze in Arkham Asylum? He isn't insane...
TheMichaelThonger 4 months ago
@TheMichaelThonger In another episode, it was revealed that Arkham is where you take sick and injured bad guys (kind of like how Bellevue is in our world). He's not insane but because of his medical condition he needs special equipment to stay alive (his cell has to be kept below zero degrees Fahrenheit at all times, which would be difficult to maintain in a regular prison).

@Horticultural1 Oh right. Interesting...

I take it that Schumacher didn't even bother watching this episode. Such a poetic character reduced to just speaking in ice puns by Schwarzenegger. One of the most idiotic decisions in film history.
jp3813 4 months ago
@jp3813 He had to be aware of it, since he stole the whole "Nora Frieze" thing from it.
Horticultural1 4 months ago
@Horticultural1 I think the comic books adapted that idea as well. So he could've gotten it from there.

"Think of it Batman. To never again walk on a summer's day with a hot wind in your face and a warm hand to hold. Oh yes, I'd KILL for that"
I just cant help but be sympathetic towards Mr. Freeze. You can really the anger he has even though he became emotionless. His story is one of the more tragic in the series which makes it one of the best episodes.

We are all Emotional to mr Freeze since this i think the moral is about Revange and loss.
And yes we couldve had someone to play mr Frezze like him exept for Anorld.

This is a perfect example of why TAS is and always will be the greatest non comic book adaptation of Batman; how I wish someone would syndicate it and bring it back to TV

@highestpower999 First degree murder is pretty bad. Well, attempted murder, since this is a kid's show, but that's splitting hairs.
endersgame55 5 months ago
@endersgame55 plus, since he froze the doors and windows to that building at the end, he would have killed everyone else in the room, too (slowly and painfully from hypothermia). That's pretty bad, even if you don't count what happened to Boyle.

I love the speech that Mr. Freeze does at 2:31 - 2:45
You can literally feel his pain and agony when he says it. And the last line of it, he says it with such determination and vengeful.
Like everyone here, you feel really sorry for Mr. Freeze.

@ internetthemepark Love this vid, but I do have to mention something. While you are more than entitled to your opinion regarding the Christopher Nolan films, I feel the need to point out that they did not steal the "bad guy who's not really all that bad, just heartbroken and a bit unstable after an attack/accident combo that both killed his love and left him disfigured" aspect. That was already blatantly in the comics. Its one of the core themes of the character for God's sake!
