The DISRESPECT to my mans Alfred. “Isn’t he just the butler” The former spy without a code against killing. An absolute UNIT of a man. Alfred is the baddest of asses

Arin's little communicator mix up is just another example of why eyewitness testimony is essentially useless.

I love how much Dan always sounds like he just left an underground vault he spent the past 30 years in. "Batgirl is Gordon's daughter." "Is that right? Wow."

Title and thumbnail exude rage, and yet Arin is so serene in this video

RIP Kevin Conroy, he was vengeance, he was the night, he was Batman. This was the first game I ever played, and I have such fond memories of my dad and I sitting on the couch playing this game, and watching the show. Love that you are playing this!

Our sweet Danny boy starting this video off with “So Bruce Wayne was walking with his parents…” Goodness. Also still miss Kevin Conroy. Will always be my Batman.

Arin -“so is Batman bulletproof?” Also Arin minutes earlier as Batman - “well I have this bulletproof outfit, so…”

"Who's Mary?" Despite a decade of precedence, it still astounds me just how little Arin pays attention to what he's doing. lol

Kinda miss this era of games when they were trying to emulate art style of a show they were making into a game, this game looks rather good, I think. With modern technologies it could look absolutely stellar. The game itself didn't age as gracefuly as it's presentation, it seems.

I hope this is a game where you exclusively pass mustard whilst having your identity outed

I love how it says “ps2 games”. When the game said “the R button” I immediately thought….wait doesn’t ps2 have two R buttons? Flash forward to Alfred’s training where they clearly show a GameCube controller in the top right 😂

"swear off bad PS2 games forever" game input uses Nintendo Gamecube inputs and tutorials.

Alfred: Use your martial arts. Your fists. Hit the thing with your fists. Arin: (throws batarangs)

Dan asking 'Do you think Batman gets chafey?' reminds me of in Into the Spiderverse when Miles asks Peter for Spider-Man advice and one of words of wisdom is "You're gonna wanna use baby powder in the suit, heaver on the joints. You don't want any chafing, right?"

I love that this game has the title cards just like in the animated series. The artwork for each is fantastic.

Hearing Kevin Conroy’s voice still brings tears to my eyes. There will really never be another one like him.

I see Batman has returned after the dreaded mustard/ice tea incident. I'm proud of him.

Arin was thinking of the kid in Tailspin who had the board that folds out and looks like a croissant

I liked this game when it came out. It was about as authentic as superhero games got at the time, and it felt cool to seemingly be playing an interactive episode of the animated series.

OMG Dan knowing about Grendel and the whole black, white, and red issues made me so happy! I felt like I had practically imagined that series and its multiple iterations, so Dan bringing it up out of the blue kinda surprised me. *Owen Wilson voice* Wow! Aw man!

Probably one of the best parts of the Harley Quinn show is when Batgirl always calls Commissioner Gordon "dad" frequently by accident. He never catches on and just thinks she has a complex.

“Wrote a profile on this woman. See if ‘it’s complicated.’” I see you, Dan. That was a good one.

Arin's ability to simultaneously complain about and completely ignore a tutorial is truly mind-blowing

I love that their Batman voice is like Batman but he went onna small drinking binge 😂

33:28 “I don’t know what’s next…for batman…” freaking KILLED me for some reason

This game feels like the weird pre-alpha bones of the Arkham games. It's actually really cool to see.

The "Croissant Board" is Kit Cloudkicker from Talespin, but Staic Shock uses a folding disk/ trashcan lid to fly around on.

I love that all the voice actors are in this! Mark Hamill's Joker will always be perfection.

Mad Respect for the Grumps recognizing Kevin Conroy, RIP

If the Pixar Mom turns out to be Harley Quinn in disguise I’m going to scream

love that Dan has an appreciation for The Young Ones, such classic british humour - R.I.P Rik Mayall, he was such a sweetheart

With that floating on a board thing, I assume Arin was thinking of Static Shock. I miss that show, Static was a real great hero, local level, relatable. Most of his villains were also fairly relatable, it wasn't all 'I will rule/destroy the world!' Also there was an episode where Commissioner Gordon pretty much said without actually saying that he knew Barbara was Batgirl, and somewhat implied he knew Bruce was Bats. It was an episode where Barbara was hallucinating her worst fears thanks to Scarecrow. Her fear being that Gordon learns she's Batgirl as she's dying in the role, and Gordon essentially raids Wayne Manor with the entire Gotham PD, gets into the Batcave, and so forth. Man I miss the older DC shows.

Arin saying “what dat ass do tho” at the same time Danny said “what a cute bomb!” is peak Game Grumps

The delivery on “I don’t know what’s next for Batman” was brilliant

This game is actual a childhood favorite for me and i love watching them play it regardless of how much they may hate it

Guys, Violent Night was SO much fun and surprisingly heartfelt for a holiday-themed action movie. Good stuff, and David Harbour is fantastic as Santa.

While Tara Strong is an excellent Harley Quinn, the role in TAS originated with Arleen Sorkin (who also voices Harley in this game). Strong was the voice of Batgirl in the animated series (and in Vengeance). She picked up the role of Harley in other projects (like the Arkham games and Injustice).

I loved this game when I was a kid. So many memories watching the Animated Series.

The animation in this game is delightful. Aged, for sure, but very smooth most of the time. I'm impressed.

its like 3am and batmans face at 8:59 KILLED me after reading a note like that omg

Batman's feet while he's sidling along the wall reminds me of a heartless's feet in Kingdom Hearts for some reason.

The idea of Dan as Batman, Arin as Robin, and Ally as Barbara is making me smile inadvertently

"Static Shock" is the cartoon Arin is after with the "croissant board that flies". It was originally a trash can lid and his buddy made him a hover disc.

Can we make this a series lol - the batman jokes were gold 😆

"That's not what he looked like in the Bruce Tim show" In later seasons yes he did

Arin: flying disk? What am I thinking of. Meanwhile me: Static Shock?

my god, I thank you Danny every time you mention The Young Ones that show is the absolute best and if you haven't watched it, you NEED it in your life

As soon as I saw the opening cutscene of this game it shot me into a wave of nostalgia, I use to play this game all the time as a kid, it’s so familiar and yet I can’t remember any details. How surreal, thank you grumps :,)

Every so often Dan and Arin play a game of one of my hyperfixations. It always makes me wish that I was with them so I could infodump at them.

That moment when Erin is perfectly describing Kit from Tale Spin and his weird little flying saucer thing from that show. Why was it so obvious for me? lol

The whole voice cast from the animated series being in this is amazing. Also Joker did look like that. He got a re-design for The New Adventures of Batman. ANd that's not Tara Strong doing Harley Quinn, it's her original VA Arleen Sorkin.

"Type-casting" Happened to Mark Hamill. Star Wars put a stigma on his face, when it came to finding work, because (back in the day, especially) no one wanted to compete with Star Wars. They probably never even got passed the calling stage because just the name "Mark Hamill," conjured the same image in everyone's head. "Luke Skywalker" So he went off screen, went behind the mic, and found pretty good success in voice acting. Not a stretch to consider him going for this part, as well

At 7:44 Arin you might be thinking of Static Shock. He had a little collapsible disk that he would charge up and ride on.

Every time I hear Allie's laughter in the background, it makes the moment 10 times more funny to me for some reason.

29:27 I love bits like these lol. The first thing that came to my head was a convo like this: Arin: “So how much time do you have left, about another year?” Danny: “Oh, it’s already shipped.” A: “Oh great, you already shipped it to the testers?” D: “No… it’s on store shelves.” A: “I don’t understand. Did you ship it to the testers or store it on the shelf? Which is it?” D: “…”

Interesting how Arin refers to Harley and her VA being Tara Strong, but this was actually Arleen Sorkin who inspired the character and has voiced her occasionally. Batgirl is Tara Strong in this, so she still deserves the recognition for being in this game, and in general as she has had so many great roles

This game was my childhood. I absolutely loved playing it with my bother and it was always a very loved game for us. Didn't expect to see it here but good nonetheless.

I think a better title for the episode would be ‘Arin finally plays the tutorial’

despite the title i hope they continue this one RIP Kevin - we miss the hell out of you

You guys. PLEASE. I BEG YOU. Do at least one more episode of this game. This was a favorite of mine as a kid. And your commentary was hilarious as per norm. I would love to see more.

R.I.P Kevin Conroy my, and many others first Batman 🖤

RIP Rik Mayall. He'll forever be one of the young ones.

I feel like this game aged quite well graphically tbh

Arleen Sorkin was the original inspiration and voice actress for Harley Quinn and she voiced her in this game. Tara Strong voiced Batgirl in this game

Just finished my last therapy session, going to celebrate with some Game Grumps. 🧡

Arin being upset about the “and” not having a comma makes me wonder if he ever watched School House Rock as a kid.

Man, I'd love these two to do a one-off of Mirror's edge.

The character with the "little board that folds out like a croissant" Arin is thinking of may be Static Shock, or less likely...Kit Cloudkicker from Tailspin.

Tail Spin has the croissant shaped air surf board that Cubby would throw out and it would unfold to something he could glide on top of. It was a pretty cool little gadget. Also Electric Shock used a piece of metal to fly around on in the 90/00s cartoons era.

Arin at 26 minutes in: "I didn't know her name was Mary. Who's Mary?" Me: Wow, he really doesn't read any of the things...

7:57 I'm 80% sure you're talkin about Static Shock. He used tin foil when thrown out, would turn into a hover board. It was the shape of le croissant!

7:55 "Some cartoon where some character has, like, like, a board that, like, folds out? It's like a croissant? And then they fly around on it." You're thinking of Kit Cloudkicker from Disney's TaleSpin, Arin.

The yelling of "he runs like a weiner" then going on to say "there's something weinery about that" sent me to space

This batman game was so much of my childhood, I'll always love it

7:57 The cartoon you’re referring to is static shock 😂😂 another great show! ✌🏼

I love how the title of this episode says they swear off bad ps2 games, but at 12:00 it's clearly a Gamecube controller.

Video: swears off PS2 Game: Is a GameCube game Me: Am confused.

Title: Game makes us swear off bad PS2 games forever Video: playing a Gamecube game

I think Arin somehow conflated Kit Cloudkicker's airfoil from TaleSpin with some of Batman's Batarangs.

Someone tell arin the croissant skyboard he was thinking of is from TaleSpin. The little bear Balu hangs out with glides around in the sky with it

The buffy game is a treasure.

this is giving me weird nostalgia cause I remember playing the gamecube version as a kid but also hating it with every fiber of my being

This was the very first game I played on the ps2. It was complicated back then, but I had so much fun enjoying the memories of having the game as my first Playstation game ever. I also remember when I was a kid, I do my best to finish my homework and everything just to catch the animated Batman show 6:00 almost every night. And honestly, Kevin Conroy is, in my opinion, the best voice for Batman I have heard in any animated creation. Rest in peace, Kevin. Thank you for the fond memories, truly legendary.

Arin always mistaking Arleen Sorkin's Harley Quinn voice with Tara Strong's never fails to make me sad. Recognition for Arleen Sorkin, the superior Harley Quinn

The thing Arin is thinking of at 8:02 is from Static Shock.

Arin somehow thinking about Kit Cloudkicker's sky flyer from Tail Spin in a Batman game is very funny.

Dan and Arin talking about their love of Tara Strong while seemingly missing that she voices Batgirl IN this game is hysterical to me.

Hey! The Flying Croissant Board is probably Static Shock's. he pulls it out and fliess around and i also thought it looked like a croissant. He also teamed up with Batman Beyond in a special i think. so semi related.

I remember playing this as a kid in the local McDonald's and never getting past the Batcave. Also, want to say, Dan has good taste with the Young Ones. Highly recommended.

Can we we just have Allie forever laughing in the background please

Batgirl's identity depends on the version. In Batman and Robin, she was Alfred's niece (also Alfred died). I don't remember much about Batman the animated series (despite loving it, I was pretty young), but I do know in Harley Quinn Animated, Batgirl is the daughter of Gordon.

Arin: How does Batman strike fear into anyone? I can guarantee, if an absolute MONOLITH of a man stalked the night and beat people until their brains leak out their ears, the last thing I'm going to do is insult his outfit

I hope we get a series on Batman dark tomorrow next. That is an Arin legendary freak out waiting to happen.

Early crew lets goooooo!!!

when the fought Mr. Freeze in the beginning of the first movie they have expandable air surf boards when they are flying through the air.

God, the era of games like this was a fun one, and missed terribly. Thanks for playing this one, guys! On a side note... did Arin seem even MORE clueless than usual this time around, like asking "What am supposed to do?" 3 seconds AFTER hearing the explanation/seeing the scene play out, in game? Like legitimate toe-curling, teeth-clenching, "It JUST SHOWED/TOLD you what to do?! HOW did you miss that, Arin?! JEEZ! Quit trying to kiss Danny, and play the (*@^^&#$^%*@ game!" LOL

Please God play more of this. This game is so fun to watch and your commentary is killer as always! Please please 🙏 play more!

I just fucking love how Arin mixed up Batman and Kit Cloudkicker from Tailspin. Never change, Arin.

Hey Arin the croissant flying thing is from the cartoon Tail Spin. That lil bear that flys around with Baloo unfolds the croissant thing, holds a rope out the back of the plane and sky surfs 🤣.

I always get excited when someone mentions the Young Ones. Otherwise I feel like it was just fever dreams I had in the wee hours with MTV on in the background.
