Ima take a moment to appreciate the accent Mike was acting with

Hearing mike speak in a country accent just made my day

Damn, mike should be on the voice casting for Nathan Arch in BATDR

I just realized the pun with the cat character. "Fat cat" is slang for a rich man. Made me smile lol. I'm so excited for BATDR omg

I always used to wonder how Allison easily got the role of Alice from Susie. In almost every log related to her, she would be praised and spoken kindly of by her coworker, including Joey. Even Susie said that everyone seemed to love her Alice Angel voice. Now it’s all coming together. Because Nathan was a huge investor with a lot of money, he could bribe Joey into doing what he wanted, like enlisting Allison, his own worker, to become part of the Bendy family. He also had enough money to keep the change concealed from Susie until the announcement was made. So many more changes and aspects of the studio could’ve been made by Nathan. Maybe he was even the one who instigated the rivalries in the studio in order to push it to the ground so Joey could be pushed to insanity. It was all part of his scheme! Side note, imagine if Henry could out about Nathan bringing Bendy and friends back to life. Lol, after going through a cycle of endless torture, I don’t think he’d be too happy about all his work going to waste

One thing I can’t figure out is how Audrey fits into all of this. I’ve heard theories that she’s the girl’s voice we hear at the end of batim, making her connected somehow to Joey or Henry and making her the true heir to the Bendy legacy, so Nathen wants her out of the way. I’m not sure if I buy that but it’s definitely an interesting idea.

Mike's voices for each character are just elite.

Let’s be honest. Nobody knew about the name until this video

Great theory as always, Mike! Keepin' us on toes till Dark Revival comes out. (This was written in a slight southern accent)

I think the voice might be Nathan's, after all the character possibly molded after him smokes 3:03. Then again, we dont know for certain if the cat is suppose to be him or if the cigar is there because of the trope of "rich man smokes cigar to show richness"

Wait Wait wait, mysterious voice was checking the archives, just like Nathan wanted to, could the voice be Nathan or maybe Nathan consumed by the living ink just like Sammy (the tape in the money office at the start of ch 4 could be Nathan being consumed (connection to "Unknown" in that tape), also those nubers on the walls would confirm this) as he tried to get to the archives deep below.

6:23 Just my theory, but it's possible the shadow character is referencing Nathan Arch. As for the recording, at 11:41 I believe it's Nathan Arch because the voice sounds like an elderly man which he would be in the year 1972 and at 7:29 he says they were digging through the archives and he would probably make the comment "How very interesting." finding all of Joey's secrets.

Damnnnn things are getting interesting 😮 Also, mini theory, could Audrey have worked at archgate films and that’s how she got involved in the scenario?

As a southern fried nerd: I rather enjoyed that Nathan voice.

Watch TheMeatly use his Archgate Films logo-

What if scott cawthon and meatly made a game together, imagine the Internet blowing up with theories

if joey drew died, then how do we see him in the game? the batim game takes place *30 years after* this point in the timeline the video talks about right? if so, does that mean that joey drew was forced to give the franchise away in some other way?

Petition to make mike the actual voice of Nathan sign here -Foxesbeyond

What if the more Bendy evolves, the less "evil" he becomes. I quoted it like that because I dont believe Bendy is truly evil. I believe that he simply wants to gain revenge from those who locked him away because of his terrifying appearance. I mean, what would you have done if you born as an "abomination" and you locked away from human kind for God knows how many years as if you were a "monster".

OMG! YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF THE CHARACTERS ARE AMAZING!!!

Just imagine in-universe being a Bendy fan after WW1 when everything went to heck. It be trash.

That accent for Nathan was awesome dude!! Your character voices always exite me! 😆

Your right about the voice belonging to Nathen or Bendy having equal marit. Nathen raved about the secrets he found, much like the voice. The line “oh mr Joey Drew, secrets you left behind” could be Nathen discovering the plans to the ink machine. But there is the detail of the voice where Everytime I here it I can here a straining ear to ear grin in the voice much like a cherisher cats grin. It would be disappointing if it’s not Bendy only because while there were hints here and there in the game that Bendy was his own character. He lost his relevancy as one and was only an obstacle to avoid. This Bendy that could share his thoughts with speech would remedy this. But I am still hopeful that the different Bendy figures we see are what Bendy looks like depending on your choices. And that we still get the choice to work with Bendy

the pieces just fit well together. the fact that allison pendle is an employee of Nathan explains well the appearance of good Alice angel in BATDR. Nathan continuing the legacy of bendy means he probably stumbled upon the ink machine and set for its 'dark revival'.Im indeed speechless :0 good job mike!!

"How every interesting" Man I can't wait for BATDR

Could dark revival have something to do with the sketches we see on Joey's desk of bendy with a darker look and I believe Sammy with a weapon. Could a dark revival mean a comeback but with a darker interpretation?

My thought was definitely that the raspy voice is Nathan. Perhaps, dying of lung cancer from those cigars in the comic, he's intrigued by Joey's ambitions to use the machine to cheat death... Which also kind of makes me lean heavier towards my previous theory that Creepy Teeth Bendy is Joey & Cute Bendy With Clothes is Henry... And, oddly, makes me revisit my theory that the patchwork recording was the original, pre-machine Bendy manipulating the physical world to try and communicate his excitement at what he noticed Joey doing... I do wonder if the reason Joey thought Henry could fix his mess is because he accidentally created what Joey could only attempt to steal (life)...

Huh Who knew that a comic book collection would tell us that JOEY IS FILPING DEAD!

bendy will come back. He will never die

Nathan might be the voice we'll hear in Dark Revival.

Man, you should be his voice actor, I sincerely say it

It’s been a year and I’m still addicted to this game ✨🏳️‍🌈🥐✨

I think I now know what the creators meant about Bendy and the dark revival being not a sequel or prequel, maybe it's a reboot. It still has the old characters, but in a new twisted story and universe done by Nathan Arch.

Anybody else getting Augustus Sinclair (Bioshock 2) vibes from this? Southern accent; plutocratic and underhanded tycoon; uses his charisma to hoodwink anyone desperate enough for a 'cure-all' to their problems?

I think the voice that said “how very interesting... such knowledge” might be Nathan.

I like the voice overs he does in this video great work!

What if the huge upscale in graphical details is due to the change in company. Joey Drew studios being cartoony, while Archgate is more detailed and less cartoony.

6:31 So your saying he like N-gen from Jurassic Park series.

i think Nathan Arch will be consumed by the ink once he found out about the secret project then reborn as the new bendy. because he doesn’t know much of what joey drew hid but the voice seeks knowledge which could mean Nathan also seeks knowledge. this is why bendy will have a more human like appearance as said in the merchandise. after Nathan knows everything, then thats why he wants to get out and thats why he will use Audrey to help him escape the studio. I will conclude with this theory.

I’m not so sure about Nathan Arch having trouble with the lack of souls, as Joey seemed to throw in a lot of those, they may still be around. I think Nathan is gonna get a lot more chaos than he bargained for...

Hey Mike! Hope you see this, but thanks for being my main source of bendy info and theory. Your great :3

We all know that Nathan is making a bigger and inkyer mistake than Joey. All Hell will unleashed thanks to Nathan. Nathan: "UNLEASH THE INK DEMON!" Me grabbing everything I own and running away with the circus before shit gets real.

@SuperHorrorBro, If Nathan Arch reinstated the Ink machine, wouldn't this mean that the "evolved Bendy" is actually a separate entity from the first, or has his conscience somehow been transported to a new vessel?

Nathan must have invested in Gent. It would explain the machines in the first game.

I love how everyone thought nathan was this evil corporate overlord when in reality he just wanted his old friend’s legacy to live on

:mini theory: Nathan is going to use the ink machine to gain immortality as bendy. so the voice at the end is both Nathan's and bendy's.

When will it come out? 2020 is halfway over.

I have to give props to your voice acting. I love watching your theory vids they have left thinking and wanting to know more about how everything fits together.

Perfect!! The hype for bendy was through the roof today so this video is gonna be amazing=)

*But what if Nathan is the guy speaking in the batdr tapes and the trailer ?* *i mean, it would make sense.*

Am I the only one that finds the stuff about the work enviorement and economic fall of Joey Drew Studios more interesting than the supernatural stuff? It's basically the story of a business man who's ambition and desperate attempts at saving his company from bankrupcy only made things worse

I love how this just keeps coming together!

Also maybe Nathan becomes a more evil version of bendy we will have to face in bendy and the dark revival. Maybe something Joey Drew wished to become. And maybe because of this, we team up with Ink Bendy who will help us defeat and free Nathan. Also, in the book ot says at the bottom of the epilogue that it was written in 1972. Perhaps because of this some other characters besides Joey, such as Susie Campell or Sammy Lawrence, died aswell, so maybe we won't see them in Bendy and The Dark Revival. Unless, they are brought back to life from the ink machine again.

I honestly think that Nathan is the mysterious voice cause what the mysterious voice said in the audio log in Boris and the Dark Survival sounds pretty similar to what was revealed about him in the video. They could also be planning on having Nathan be Bendy in the upcoming game just like how they supposedly originally planned on the reveal in the First game that Joey was Bendy.

FINALLY BENDY HAS RETURNED-

This excites me beyond belief. I’m hoping that since this book came out Joey Drew Studios will post something either this month or next month. Love the video Mike! ❤️

Nathan Arch is just a budget Grant Cohen

Good work as always Mike Keep it up and be safe

I think that’s Arch speaking, if he was around the same age as Joey then it’s possible he’s super old and decrepit with breathing problems that cause his voice to be very raspy

Amazing theory! Keep up the good work!

Awesome love it like always and you are the most hard working youtuber of all time please do more videos because I love you so much!!!

Could it be possible that the creepy voice could be Henry himself?!!

Now I know why it’s called the dark revival, it’s because Nathan is gonna bring bendy back to life in the media and the “dark” part could be what you said about the monsters being brought to life from the machine

Bro I always love your bendy videos

My theory, henry did succeed and killed bendy, but is still stuck in a loop. But now, Nathan tried activating the ink machine and Audrey, a guardian of the inky timeline is now trying to set things right.

As a southerner i can appreciate the accent and the attempt at it. But Mike my man, oh bless your heart. You can hear the your accent coming through! But i love your attempt and i applaud you. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS KEEP MAKING EM!

I was expecting a FNAF Security Breach video, but this one is just as good, godspeed with your quality content SHB.

Omg when your video come i am full of excitement watching you since 100k subs i was waiting for a bendy video for so long!

Wow mikes voice acting for nathan is amazing. Joey drew studios.should hire him for the voice of Nathan 😊

4:42 Or among one of the greatest madman's.

Nice to see some Bendy content after so long. The question is: What lies ahead for the seires?

I can already hear myself screaming at that horror version of the cat character

I also think that the mysterious new voice we’ve heard recently I’m BATDR videos could be Nathan Arch

I was nervous and panicking Mike reading a paragraph in different sound made me calm

I think the unknown voice is Nathan, corrupted by the ink.

There's one thing you should know about the film at the end of chapter 5 of bendy and the ink machine. There was invisible ink on the film in chapter 5, the line on the film said "This is not The End"

Also did you notice that in the comics there is a character similar to the projectionist? But a lot more cartoony

the other day i was wondering about news from batdr, and it seems the team has delivered

A possibility that comes to my mind is that if Nathan discovered the secret of the machine, I theorize that perhaps Nathan Arch is the new Bendy. Only a theory, however.

We are learning so much about the game.

Hello, superhorrobro love you videos man

Actually I think that voice may belong to Nathan himself! Nathan stated in the beginning of the book that he went through the archives of Joey Drew Studios, and the mysterious voice comments on the amount of knowledge, so perhaps Nathan's experiments backfired and corrupted him somehow. Or better yet... He might have given Ink Bendy a soul! ;)

Fun fact: In BATIM Chapter 5, during the section in the administration offices, there is a board with all of the people waiting to for their meetings with Joey Drew. Among the names listed are "Frank Fontane" and "Sam Hayden (UAC)".

I feel like the raspy voice would be Bendy. Since now that he has actual teeth (and probably a tongue) I have a feeling that Bendy could be able to have a voice; also thinking about what Mike said about Bendy evolving and such.

All I can say is that you did an excellent job on your voice there! Also, is it just me or the name Nathan isn't really a bad guy name? Just asking :/

And Joey wondered why Henry left....

Let me get this straight. Henry left in 1930 and came back 30 years later at the request of Joey. If Nathan Arch says it's 1972, wouldn't that mean Henry has been in the machine for about 12 years. 12 years or more have possibly passed from the first game to the second game.

1:44 ok Mike but these voice you do are hilarious I love them keep it up in not hating there with so funny

Very Interesting indeed. Myself, I want Twisted Alice/Susie Campbell to come back, but there isn't enough there I don't think. Of course, we will see when the game releases. I look forward to more character development for Allison Angel too!

"How very interesting? Such Knowledge." - Nathan Arch (Maybe)

DAMNNNNNNN that was a really good ascent!

His voice for Nathan reminds me of Leonardo Dicaprio's plantation owner from Django Unchained. Loved it!

Yay! Another bendy and the dark revival theory!

" A story of a corrupt business man " The Stupendium: It's showtime

Since BATIM characters are seemingly loosely based on real world figures in the animation industry, I’ll bet Nathan will be loosely based on Charles Mintz, the guy who bought out Disney animators and took the Oswald cartoon

Uuuhh these theory vids make me hyped for BATDR..I'm definitely playing it when it releases

Nice video and keep going

Keeping expectations in the minimum is a wise idea including the fifth anniversary of Bendy👍🏻

The Lore Is Getting More Confusing, Like the FNAF Lore, 2019: FNAF Lore 2020: BATIM & BATDR Lore

It would be interesting if the mystery unknown voice was Nathan Arch, it fits, to be honest. If he knew Joey from the 1930s then it would make sense that his voice would sound like an old man if he is speaking in the 1970s (also I do really agree that the unknown voice is Bendy, tbh, I cannot imagine him having that type of voice). But I think it also may bring in some connection to Audrey. My theory could be that she was working for Nathan but found something that she should have (relation to the quote "a pretty girl like you shouldn't be wandering around all by yourself'), therefore died and ended up in the Ink Machine World. But since the magic/ritual wasn't done by Joey, but instead Nathan who may have tried to improve it could also explain the power/spiral hand that Audrey has.
