Naturally, some idiot civilian has to stand up to him so he can show off his powers. Fun game: take a drink whenever he cracks a one-liner worthy of Joel Schumacher and Akiva Goldsman. His dialogue, however, is another matter. Krabs” Brown turns in a surprisingly badass performance. His voice… well, no one can really stack up to the late, great Michael Ansara, but Clancy “Mr. Take a closer look and you’ll notice just how emaciated the actual Victor Fries is, under all that shiny tech. It might not have the same retro charm of Mike Mignola’s design for That Other Show, and I do kinda miss the goggles, but it’s a nice and sleek, and creepy to boot. To be fair, though, I’m pretty sure that Jack and Rose never had to deal with a cryokinetic pirate who looks like this:Īs radical Jeff Matsuda redesigns go, this is strictly kiddie pool. “All hands off deck! Women and children last!” Proving that they’ve learned nothing from Titanic, the crew tries to swerve away, which just ends up aggravating the damage. Even the night offers little relief… until a certain unlucky yacht runs into an iceberg. We begin as “Heart of Ice” did: with Gotham gripped by a brutal heat wave. The most unfuckwithable villain in animated Batman history paired with the most unfuckwithable writer in Western animation. “Oh, you two want to play pity poker? Disney fucked me up so badly people WISH I got cut short!” “Greater shows than you have been undone by less. “Oh, come ON! He was only in one episode!” “More importantly, didn’t you LITERALLY give us the worst Joker in history?” I think we all know who he’s really talking about.” It was he who fathered one of the most beloved action/superhero ‘toons of all time, one that pushed envelopes and captured fans even That Other Show could never- “Aww. Weisman, as any self-respecting millennial knows, is probably the only writer in “serious” Western animation with a more sterling reputation than Dini. This, no doubt, horrified legions of fans who’d already been twice-burned by its portrayals of Joker and Penguin, but chances are that at least some of them breathed a sigh of relief when they got word that this Freeze was being handled by none other than Greg Weisman. Hell, he was getting theme-song coverage from day one. Given post-’92 Freeze’s popular recognition and his massive toy potential, it was inevitable that The Batman would eventually take its own crack at him. It’s one of the few episodes of That Other Show that comes close to living up to the hype.) (By the way – if you haven’t seen “Heart of Ice”, please go do so right now. Turning a C-list villain from the comics who used to look like this into a tragic, Emmy-winning A-lister, though… now that takes Paul Dini-at-the-top-of-his-game talent. All they really needed were people interested in faithful adaptation. Sure, its depictions of the Joker and Two-Face, and of course Batman himself, are all justly celebrated, but those guys already had a pretty strong following from the comics. Freeze isn’t the literal Messiah, but there’s little denying that he’s That Other Show’s proudest legacy (facing competition from only the Mad Hatter – maybe – in that category). And they sent him to the old WB studio and said, “Go and search carefully for the one called Freeze, and when you have found him, bring back word to us, that our show may come and worship him also.” “Then Capizzi and Goguen, when they had secretly called the Weisman, determined from him what time the star appeared.

Batman later learns that Chill was hired by mob boss Lew Moxon, who left young Bruce Wayne alive only to provide alibi that it was not Moxon who committed the murders, which sends Batman on a larger mission to bring down organized crime in Gotham City.( DISCLAIMER: The author of this blog owns none of the properties depicted below. Furious that their boss is responsible for the Batman, Chill's goons gunned him down in cold blood, and he died in Batman's arms. A frightened Chill ran away, telling his goons that he knows who the Batman is, since it was him (Chill) who created him. When Bruce Wayne figures out that Chill is the crook that also murdered his parents, he confronts Chill as Batman, ultimately unmasking himself as Bruce Wayne.
