Victor only attacks Boyle he saves the world after Batman has reasoned in his second appearance (Deep Freeze). If it is important to bring depth to his character, which he did later add even more depth and sympathy. First, in the cartoon, he is sympathetic because of his back-story but with some actions later. I think he is better written in this medium than in comics in general for several reasons. Mr Freeze is my favourite cartoon character. This was an odd collection of choices that made everyone involved far less likable. Further, the hard-hearted capitalist that pulled the plug on Victor Fries’s labor of misguided love was somehow Bruce Wayne. Freeze by effectively making him as imbalanced as any other Arkham resident, revealing that his view of reality is flawed to the point where Nora was never actually his wife, but a young woman suffering from some fictional terminal illness who had been in suspended animation for decades. In the Batman annual that came out during the “Night of the Owls” storyline, Snyder altered the accepted perception of Mr. For years, it was accepted that Freeze was not insane, a rare exception among Batman’s rogues gallery, but simply driven by an inhuman rage masked by a cold, apathetic exterior.

Freeze remained largely informed by the Animated Series version until the New 52, when Scott Snyder reinvented him once again, but arguably for the worse. For a lighthearted, groan-inducing romp down memory lane, here is a collection of them from YouTube:ĭespite the film, the comics version of Mr. This version, which is (sadly) the version most mainstream audiences remember, was a ridiculous spoof of a man who made painfully corny puns about the cold. Freeze remained the most notable and visible for several years until the travesty that was Joel Schumacher’s Batman & Robin, where the character was played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. He even made a much later appearance in an episode of Batman Beyond. Freeze would go on in his later appearances in the Animated Series to discover that his wife, Nora, still lived on in suspended animation, and he would suffer further degradation to his physical condition due to the nature of the accident that day in his lab. Freeze as a broken man gone cold both inside and out, consumed with nothing but his drive to avenge his wife and himself against Ferris Boyle (pun likely intended). Freeze from Batman: The Animated Series courtesy of DC Comics and found at (DCAU)Īnsara’s deep, agonized voice lent itself well to his depiction of Mr.
The resulting seizure of his lab by its big businessman owner ( Ferris Boyle of Gothcorp in some versions) ended with Victor Fries being bathed in a cryogenic formula that drastically lowered his body temperature and made it nearly impossible for him to survive exposure to even the mildest environment without the aid of an armored suit. Freeze (voiced by the late, great Michael Ansara) was an entirely new take on the character defined by his sorrow and his quest for vengeance against the company that pulled funding on his studies to cure his wife (then in suspended animation) of an undisclosed terminal illness. That is, until the 1992 episode of Batman: The Animated Series entitled “Heart of Ice.” Freeze remained an unremarkable sometime foe of Batman for decades, despite a slight bump in popularity during the Adam West years based in no small part by portrayals by such esteemed actors as Eli Wallach. At first, he was a somewhat ridiculous, generic ice villain, of which there were several in the Silver Age (the Flash’s Captain Cold being another notable example). Zero) was created in 1959 by Bob Kane, David Wood, and Sheldon Moldoff. Freeze, Batman’s most underrated and sympathetic opponent. For this week’s post, I want to focus on another Batman villain the way I did the Joker many weeks ago. Good day, everyone! I hope your week is going well.
