personally its my favorite Batman game of alltime, and I'm born mostly in N64-NGC-PS2 era, but I still have a working NES with a few games that I do enjoy. the game is a fun side scroller but is mercilessly hard...needless to say the music in this game is more memorable than in most modern batman games
slightly unrelated, but Batman Returns (the movie) was originally going to have a sequel, a third TB Batman movie would have been great, apparently Joker was going to return, and so was Cat Woman, but people complained that it was too dark and violent so instead.....we got the Batman Forever movies.... Imagine this kind of flashy badass music ON SNES, a third Batman game based on the third movie could have been amazing. I really want to hear this in 16-bit now!
There was nothing like switching on the NES on a Saturday morning as a kid and playing through an entire game. Even if the game froze or you got your ass kicked, you just accepted it and restarted the game. I really think that taught me a bit of patience and discipline. We now live in an age of instant gratification and expecting everything for nothing. Times sure have changed - nothing will ever beat the 90s. They were the golden years.
Back in the day, this game was a state of the art masterpiece for the NES. The music, the graphics, the level design, the boss battles, you name it. Definitely one of the best NES games.
For those that have this game-no matter how-play it today with your whole heart, for a great actor and human being has left us recently. Thank you Kevin Conroy. 😢😭
This was one of the greatest game on the NES imo. And one of the, if not THE best licensed moviegame of all time. Dear lord the music is still adreanaline pumping to this day..
Whenever I hear cool sounding NES music like this I always try to imagine what it would sound like if a band was playing it. (guitars, bass, and drums)
For NES, this is a very strong composition. It's like a mini-song. Tragic minor-key, fitting for the subject material. A 4-phrase(!) intro. Nice chord progression and interesting melody for the verse. And a chorus climax that almost repeats. Very driven tempo, like a locomotive. It even has an outro before it loops. Not an expert but I'd rank it as one of the best Stage themes ever composed for NES. That the sound team was able to extract this from a limited channel and sound producing system is extraordinary. I mean, I hear a bass-line, drum-line and a complex sounding echo melody in the chorus.
Sunsoft were masters of sound on the NES! Fully sample drums hits, a near FM synthesis sound emulation, reverb on a 5 channel 8-bit sound chip, and one of the greatest epic songs ever written!
@Lindsay Vail first off Millennials range up to the 40s so unless you're a damn near 50 year old guy on CZcams you might want to check your facts. Also Bale was the better Batman.
@Densester Man, I can hear the pearls falling on the ground tore off from Bruce Wayne's mother necklace when he had a flashback of his childhood in the Batcave.
I remember playing this game when I was little and remembered this song instantly. Games were a lot harder back then, or at least made you play through them all in one sitting.
This game will forever stay in my and my brother's beating heart forever !! :) we played this , contra , monaco , spiderman , robocop , terminator , chip and dale ... alot of mario stuff ... lion king ... tetris ... Battle tanks :D man oh man ... those were the days 15 years ago :P .. im 22 now my bro is 24 .. things change fast but we are still the same kids inside :) always passing stages in life :D NICE VIDEO !! love this game's soundtrack's thx alot dude ! :)
One of my favorite video game songs ever. For 8 bit NES, this was well ahead of it's time. I'd love to see any of these new gamers try and play this game. Games these days aren't about the gameplay like it used to be. This game had it all! It suited the Batman franchise very well. Just my .02
Damn, I always thought i was the only one who love this tune, liked it nearly 20 years ago as I play the game, and now I find here metal covers and other remixes....great !
I could hear this song looping for eternity and still not get enough of it. Simply Epic. Back in the days videogame music was still videogame music and not movielike music like it is now
i was 12 when i played that game. At my 25 i was trying to decide which song was the best song on nes. This or vimpire killer on castlevania. Now i am 44. I haven't decided yet. One of the most difficult decisions in my life
I always listening to this version and the Jimmy Thell version of Streets of Desolation in work..... And man..... i would cry about this music... Extremely good.
Ryuujin1078 I stated playing it in 5th standard and completed at the end of 7th. Took me 3 years. I never quit it because I found to be dark, intense and challenging!
I was born too late. Those were the days, I hear that from people all the time, I wish i was alive then to experience it when it came out. fuck all the new consoles, NES is and will be the best forever..
I remember I had this game in a pirate console called Xoomstation XS-1 that included other 75 games apart and I rlly liked it (mostly because of this theme that also appeared in the game menu)
It's still mindblowing how such a good song can be composed on a 8bit system
No super high tech or autotune, just pure Batman
this track has bass in it omfg these people back then were no less than Einstein
Still gets my heart racing!!!!!
the guy was Japanese
ever heard of the C64 and Jeroen Tel?
This game is a visual and audio masterpiece. It's definitely one of the greatest NES games of all time.

yeah it is an great game but it' hard
Zealot King
i like pink ass holes :)
IBroLLyI ISephirothI hahahhaha xD
but really , i live this theme so bad
Dear lord, I'm 28 and crying like a b*tch listening to this.
The nostalgia is mighty.
25 mate, still remember playing this...
Amen. // 35 year old.
35 listening to this in 2020. 1 of the GOAT right here. Whoever composed this song is worthy of greater status than Mozart.
42 and doing the same nostalgia is a very powerful thing
32 😑
What they did within the many technical limits is pretty amazing. Its still IMO some of the best music ever made. Elegance in simplicity
This music needs to come back in a new Batman game
Batman Returns music is quite sick as well!
Batman Returns had the better soundtrack IMO. But it's too fucking underrated.

Z-95SkyHunter definitely agree with u

I wholeheartedly agree
Oh my god, I remember getting so pumped up playing this. The music got your blood flowing.
Back in the day, this game was a state of the art masterpiece for the NES. The music, the graphics, the level design, the boss battles, you name it. Definitely one of the best NES games.

“We just need music for a Nintendo game, nothing special.”
Naoki Kodaka: “YOU WANNA GET NUTS?!?! COME ON!!! Let’s get nuts!!”
you have to admit, this was the best, if not one of the best batman games in the 90"s
Still the best Batman game.
yes
Since this game, all were thrash until arkham saga. Still playing this from time to time :).
Andrés Vlad Doménech Alcaide Batman II, the ones made by Konami and Sega were excellent too, breh
Adventures of Batman And Robin for both the SNES and the Genesis were masterpieces, althought they were hard af
This was one of the greatest game on the NES imo. And one of the, if not THE best licensed moviegame of all time. Dear lord the music is still adreanaline pumping to this day..
The best music of NES.
Whenever I hear cool sounding NES music like this I always try to imagine what it would sound like if a band was playing it. (guitars, bass, and drums)
I remember getting this game on my birthday a long time ago. such a great game wish i still had it.
It's not only great, it screams Batman. Every time I see a Batman movie it automatically plays on my head. It fits so well.

for 8 bit it even beats 16 bit damn i always loved this game and the music
This sounds incredible on headphones
never gets old
You are right it never gets old
2 years later (or 3, not really sure) and it’s still not old.

“Fear is a tool. When that light hits the sky, it’s not just a call, it’s a warning.”
It's a warning that a guy wearing a massive purple suit will run at criminals and throw 36 boomerangs at them
I play this song on a loop when I play Arkham games
@SolidSnake0621 I should try that lmao :P
Michael Keaton-best Batman ever!
Nah Christian bales is the batman
@@thatbeefman8042 both are great
Juan S. Moreno Kevin conroy?
@Lindsay Vail first off Millennials range up to the 40s so unless you're a damn near 50 year old guy on CZcams you might want to check your facts. Also Bale was the better Batman.
@Lindsay Vail Im literally a gen z
Maybe the best NES audio track ever. Certainly within the top five to be sure.
My brother couldn't end this game & he was having only single life left.
He gave me the controller but somehow i managed to kill joker :D
Man it was damn hard to kill joker. He used to suck 4 bars of life with just one electric shock😅
play arkham knight with the 89 batsuit.....play this song... = BATMAN EM TO DEATH
FACTS*
oh god so many flashbacks on my head listening to this theme T^T. awesome theme
i can smell the smoke coming from the nes.
I can see the actual thing melting.
No kidding.
OMG... Burnt plastic... I remember too...
@Densester Man, I can hear the pearls falling on the ground tore off from Bruce Wayne's mother necklace when he had a flashback of his childhood in the Batcave.
Lol
Man this takes me back... and STILL it kicks ass why in fuck are their not remix's of this!!!?
This song started playing in my head again and I haven't played it since five years. Dis is the best track in the game from my opinion.
Great music, I remember how happy I was when my dad got me this game, unfortunately I never could get past the 2nd level
Why
Even the MIDI versions are outstanding. Some of those files are above 50kb and by looking at the track data it's intense as the music itself.
I remember playing this game when I was little and remembered this song instantly. Games were a lot harder back then, or at least made you play through them all in one sitting.
This game will forever stay in my and my brother's beating heart forever !! :) we played this , contra , monaco , spiderman , robocop , terminator , chip and dale ... alot of mario stuff ... lion king ... tetris ... Battle tanks :D man oh man ... those were the days 15 years ago :P .. im 22 now my bro is 24 .. things change fast but we are still the same kids inside :) always passing stages in life :D NICE VIDEO !! love this game's soundtrack's thx alot dude ! :)
damn so ur like 31 now lol bless u bro
This track and the first stage music of Ninja Gaiden get you so hyped
The music had a special power that let us remember our best memories of our life. Greetings and God bless you !! : )
I played this game so
Much,that I had to put the Nintendo cartridge in the freezer to get it to work at times.
The Best Batman game ever. Fight me

so sick
Omg memorieeees :')
ive spend days on this game :D 5/5 and fave
After all these years, I still remember it
Batman logic: get hit 8 times to die and shrivel into fire
The drums 🤩🤩🤩
The BEST music
Damn this brings back memories
i loved this game, i played it over and over again back then.
Streets of desolation best music in the game ever.
One of my favorite Nes game music themes besides Guardian Legend and Ninja Gaiden
This is the greatest Nes song ever made! this is coming from a die hard megaman fan and we all know how good dat megaman music is.
dynamic and the drum beats are exceptionally impressive for an nes title!
The music makes me flashback younger age. Very memorable ♥️
May be the best video game song ever. This shit's so good
I always listening to this version and the Jimmy Thell version of Streets of Desolation in work..... And man..... i would cry about this music... Extremely good.
I played this game before I saw the movie & I read the comic adaption of the movie before I saw the movie! XD
Awesome game!
this is the song i always imagine on every batman novel,comic,game,series and movie
uplifting beats and badass synth.
I remember first hearing this song and thinking that it sounded like something from earthbound beginnings, I still think that.
That theme gives me goosebumps.
This track rightfully belongs to The Shadow.
Masterpiece!!!!! Classic! EPIC!
This game is so hard n challenging it’ll turn off modern millienial gamers of without batting an eye
Ryuujin1078 I stated playing it in 5th standard and completed at the end of 7th. Took me 3 years. I never quit it because I found to be dark, intense and challenging!
@@shubhashishpandit6083 ok then. Castlevania next up :p
Ryuujin1078 never got past stage 2, but played the first stage many times just to hear this
Christ...this makes me remember my childhood all over again. Those were the days!
yeeeeaaaah i remenber this song very cool aaaa yhat old days
i love this song =)
YEAHHHHHHHHH ! FINALLY I FOUND U XD
iPhone ringtone!
True batman theme
This game really portraits Batman as Batman. Dark as a bat must be.
best game song ever, up there with the first castlevania song
All these old school games had amazing soundtracks!
GOAT.
I love Mega Man's music, too (particularly the opening theme from MM2). But I really like the tunes in Batman.
I enjoy this music in 2019, (i did played batman nes in 1988).
This is the very best song ever of all time. Fact.
Batman is now punching air!
I returned to my childhood! awesome
I was born too late. Those were the days, I hear that from people all the time, I wish i was alive then to experience it when it came out. fuck all the new consoles, NES is and will be the best forever..
I know it’s very unlikely but I do hope this song appears in the flash movie.
BATMAN es sin duda uno de los mejores juegos de la nintendo....
Man, this song gives some of my favorite NES music pieces some competition.
This theme reminds me of Shinobi (SEGA Master System) and Castlevania (NES Stage 1)
Holy sh ⭐ t.... I didn't think I'd find this 🦇!!!!
I remember I had this game in a pirate console called Xoomstation XS-1 that included other 75 games apart and I rlly liked it (mostly because of this theme that also appeared in the game menu)
The drums go hard on this but that piano go hard like heck 2020 and this beat go nuts
how can anyone dislike this music? amazing how it all comes from a nes
one of my all time favorites,, thanks for posting this!!!
T__T I cried playing this game
This song... Grooves into my soul.
meticulousgeek same here. What an intense flow this song has got.
What a nice, excellent, impressive theme. Will always love it !!!
This game was really good shit and nobody knew about it.
It was like Castlevania or Contra, but with batarangs and Joker goons.
Master i remember, the Gotham memories.¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
One of the hardest NES games of all time.
God-like for its time.
@Eddyles I agree 100%. And, I don't like how times have changed since then. I wish things were back to those days again.
