Who would you think could make a good actor to play Mr. Freeze in a movie? I'm nominating Patrick Stewart.

Arnold Schwarzenegger would've been good if they didn't try to make Mr. Freeze some kind of cold-themed comedian. If Arnold Schwarzenegger played Mr. Freeze just like he played the T-800/T-850 Terminator, it would've worked.

While the Joker will always be my all-time favorite Batman villain, this portrayal of Mr.Freeze is a super close second! I've seen this clip over ten times but it still makes me teary-eyed each time. The respect they give to this figure, one who was easily forgettable before this point, is just awe-inspiring.

I'd love to see Nolan or anyone use this version of Mr.Freeze in a movie so long as he is given the depth he had in "Heart of Ice".

I know this is long but there's so much to say!!

My pick to play Freeze has been and always will be David Strathairn. Most know him from "Good Night and Good Luck" (he was Murrow).

@demiser21 I agree. I liked what they did with his character. They turned him into a Shakespearean character with a very emotional and sad story from beginning to end. We see how it all began, the lengths he's willing to go for his wife, the rage and sadness he feels, and then we see it all come to a tragic end where the character finally finds peace with himself.

I recently got all 4 seasons of the series and I just watch this episode. When I was a kid I actually cried a little. I'm 23 now and this scene still manages to get me a little teary eyed. It's just amazing how they turned this character into a Shakespearean tragedy. He's not a villain because he wants to be, but because he has to be.

Batman forever and batman and the brave the bold does not have this kind of mr freeze he is the saddest villain ever

[MyWilliam1996]

@ironballs16 Yeah, but he still ended up in jail, feeling bad that he ( in his mind) failed his beloved Wife.

[ironballs16]

@MyWilliam1996 He did win, after a fashion - the executive (voiced by Mark Hamill) was given the tape where he'd caused the incident, all but insuring that his company would get a PR hit, and he'd probably get the boot due to it.

I just love how Batman is watching him at the end. Like he too feels sorry for Freeze.

Funny how this episode, this 20 miunte episode, is better than most of the movies.

I think they should have chosen Christopher Loyd over Arnold in the Joel Schumacher movie.

[MyWilliam1996]

God, this is a brilliant version of the Freeze character, I feel so sorry for him, I sort of wish he'd won in this episode. its just annoying mr. Freeze is more commonly associated with the stupid pun spewing asshole from Batman And Robin

This was the first BTAS episode I ever watched. My brother was with me and at the end I looked over and realized he was crying. And then I realized that there were tears in my eyes too. This cartoon was exceptional. It dealt with some really deep stuff.
