Episode 21
Batman may be the best NES game that's based on a live action movie! Many other licensed games were terrible, but Sunsoft actually took the time to make an incredible game.
It's often compared to Ninja Gaiden, and while the game mechanics are similar, the feel of the games is very different.
Surprisingly, the Joker wasn't the final boss in the first draft of this game! Joker was added to the final version, and he is easily one of the most difficult final bosses in the entire NES library!
In this video we'll learn:
*Strategies for completing EVERY stage!
* How to de-spawn some of the game's most DANGEROUS enemies!
* The best weapon for EVERY situation!
* Multiple strategies for defeating the DIFFICULT bosses!
* TWO ways to defeat the JOKER... AND MORE!
SPECIAL NOTE - Music Track from Iron Mike Sharp!
In today's video I'm featuring another song by Iron Mike Sharp! Iron Mike makes AMAZING remixes of Nintendo chip tunes. If you enjoy old school video game music, make sure to check him out. You can listen to his entire album for FREE at this Link: ironmikesharp.bandcamp.com/al...

Thought i would try this game again spent hours playing left my NES on to try stage 5 again in morning got in bed saw this video and 30 mins later I have finished batman for first time 😍 thank you for a great video. I got some unfinished business with ninja gaiden next
Thank you so much, Dean! This comment made my whole day!
Good luck on Ninja Gaiden! I'm sure if you can beat Batman you can do it. The most important thing is just knowing you might have to play that mean last level more than once, but if you do, you get to bring Spin Slash, and you can't lose.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Thanks for the tip and replying back. Beating batman has gave me confidence going forward with these tough games i will be sure to check out your guide and your other content going forward keep the good work up 👍
@@deanwilson2175 Awesome! Thanks, Dean!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames can u help me with tips on how to beat glass joe still stuck tyson punch out
@@voltrondefofunv5708 try not punching, just dodge and pay attention to his pattern. May take awhile but do that with every character and you’ll get there. Been a long time but I use to be able to beat punch out without a single down. Takes a lot of practice .
This game has an awesome soundtrack. The graphics really pushed the NES to its limits, looks incredible.
Sunsoft games always had kick-ass soundtracks
I can't believe I was so close to the end! I was 3 jumps away from the top and I always messed up the wall jump. Now I'll be able to try again with a renewed confidence! Thank you!
You got this!!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames this is wonderful... guess who you're currently helping gain the confidence to beat BatMan... me! I've been getting to the 4th level boss and wanted a boost lol. love to know you can just duck up there and punch. you made the last level look simple enough too. great work!
The music really sets the mood of this game. 👍
Real talk
Regards like 90% of 80s/90s retro games. 👍🏻
It really had a great soundtrack. Same for the Batman & Robin: TAS game
Sunsoft and Capcom always had great music. And that game actraiser from enix has pretty. Good graphic . enix always had really good graphics as well as music.
@14:36 “the green water … is actually safe”. Likely the only time I’ll ever hear that in my life.
I remember waking up at around 4 and secretly playing this game on my famicom 🤣🤣 good times.
I love these videos. They are well researched, super informative, and very nostalgic. I love how his narration isn't over the top and there isn't seizure triggering special effects.
YESS! I was finally able to beat it a couple of days ago thanks to this guide! So helpful, Thanks a ton Big Dawg!
I think Sunsoft's Batman is the finest movie tie-in game ever made for any system. Thanks for a great video on it!
I see great potential in your channel & hope it grows big. Love the research you did of the game prior and your attention to detail for gameplay 👍
Thanks, Mo!!
My favorite part too! Of course I love seeing how to beat the game but the history of it beforehand is fantastic
I beat this game so many times and the replay value is outstanding...just watching for the nostalgia
Your videos are so well done. The history lessons at the beginning are great and you’re seriously so chill explaining how to beat everything. Keep up the excellent work
Thanks, Jim!
I can't believe this actually works, I got to the 3rd level using your video and I truly suck at video games but love playing them, can't wait to keep going! Thank you for all your help! Have a great day everyone.
Let’s not gloss over how amazing the music in this game is. Great video, loving this channel. I never beat any of these games as a kid. I was very young when playing these and hadn’t hit my stride yet, but the few times I have revisited any of these, I found them unbelievably hard and bailed out
Thanks to you, I've finally beaten the Joker. Never thought I'd even see him, much less defeat him.
Great content here, man. I won't lie, I've spent many nights in bed trying to fall asleep, and just listen to you explain various games (ones I've never heard of, either). Keep on keeping on, amigo!
I look forward to the day when you start tapping more into Genesis games.
My name is Josh I've been watching your CZcams channel for one year now and I love your videos they've been very helpful for some of my NES games I've been playing I play the NES Nintendo 64 Sega Genesis and super Nintendo and I love your channel please keep making cool videos my name is josh
Batman and BlasterMaster is what put Sunsoft on the map.
I had a friend of mine back in the 80's that had this game and we played it for DAYS.. what great memories.. this game still holds today... 10/10
Totally agree!!
Love how dramatic Batman is and he never runs. He speedwalks the justice to the perps lol
😂
That stage 1 music still gets me jacked, even now.
I didn't own this game as a kid but one of my best friend's did and I'd play it at his house. Difficult but the look, feel, and sound was amazing. This game is a great example for why pixel art took off.
I think I get why select is pause and start is weapon swap. With it set like that you can keep Batman moving while switching weapons. Less chance of getting hit and no need to stop what you're doing to change weapons.
Man, I'm glad I found your channel after your TMNT video showed up in my recommended. This was another one of my favorite NES games. I think I coveted it even more because my buddy owned it and I only got to play it when he let me borrow it. I could never beat the Joker. He did, but apparently right after he did his older brother jumped up in excitement and ended up yanking the NES down for the tv stand because the controller cord was under his shoe. The game of course reset and he never got to see the ending.
Oh man, I'd be so mad if I did that!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Oh, he was furious.
Great channel, keep it up. I love how you actually use the in game name as meant by the designers for every mob and weapon.
Also, Batman has one of the best NES soundtracks.
Great job with the intros and stories attached to these games/releases.
Amazing video, as always. That final stage was challenging to say the least, but this one is also in the books!
This is a thing of beauty! Love these videos! Thanks for the upload and all the hard work! I was sooo close to beating this back in the day, now I'm ready to finish it!
Thanks! Let me know if you manage to win!
I used to play this all the time as a kid... I love these videos. Definitely a blast from the past. 😁
Finally beat this game today on my birthday. Instant like and now subscribed!!
Batman throwing criminals to their death was his core trait in the comics. In Detective Comics #27: "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate", Batman's debut, he lifts a fat man named Stryker over his head and throws him into a vat at Apex Chemicals and says "A fitting end for his kind", before disappearing through an open skylight. Batman was created to be a pulp action hero like The Phantom, he even used guns. The reason he stopped killing and using guns was because of the Comics Code Authority. Now while we all love the more heroic Batman of the 60 Adam West show and 90s animated series, we must NEVER forget Batman started off as a deadly gun-toting vigilante. In fact, I want to see a story where that is his character arc, shifting from vigilante to hero after her first battle with Joker and Joker's determination to break Batman is to try and get him to revert back to his deadly ways as a never-ending reminder of how he started.
One of my favorite games. That music, amazing.
Step by step guide and great research about the game.
Good work!...
Thank you!!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames "So when are you going to be doing #BatmanReturnOfTheJoker & #BatmanReturns on the NES playthrough???" #TakeItUnderAdvisement #MiddlebrooksFanatics 🤨💖🕹️🎮♈💭📱🔮
All your vids are sick, but this is surely the best. Kudos
Great content man! Keep up the good work. Also loved your voiceover work in pee wees big adventure when he was the bellhop.
Paging Mr. Herman!
Your pulling my leg!
Always loved this game. Glad to see that it is so well respected. Great strategy vid!
this was one of my childhood favs, along with rygar and metroid. nice throwback!
Iv been subscribed for awhile now and just wanted to say keep up the great work and I know 2022 will be even better for you.
Thank you again! Another childhood game beat.
You make this look effortless. Love it. I think i love watching people play old school video games more than I like actually playing them myself.
it's like rewatching a classic football game
I got hooked right away with the Turtles NES and now this video.
Thank you very much for this video, helped me a lot especially for stage 3 and for the 2 last bosses.
Nice work. Great vid. Your joker strats are far more sensible than my approach. Made it look easy
Thanks man!
Your videos are super entertaining. I LOVE all of these games dearly and its nice to see that these tips are being catalogued in such a well presented way. Keep rocking!
Thank you so much! It's really awesome to be able to share my passion for old video games with so many people.
The music is great. Got my kids humming it. That's when you know it's that good.
My new fav channel ive been binge watching gamesack lately and u can beat video games 🔥
Absolutley THANK YOU! what a beautifully well crafted good time.
Thanks for the assist! Another win in the books, I love your channel.
I like the tone as you explain your strategies. It reminds me of online lectures with math professors at my community college. Keep up these videos, you’re doing a great job with your presentation(s)!!!
Thank you!! Glad you're enjoying it!
No way i get beyond 3-1 without this video. Thanks for a great walkthrough!
I forgot all about this game. Great game. Never beat it but loved to play. Thx
Another great video :) , thanks for the awesome work.
Thanks, Pericles!
I like watching speedruns but watching the game get completely destroyed isn't a learning experience most of the time. This channel is a refreshing change of pace.
I beat this game back in the day. Totally enjoyed it
You easily would have been my best friend back in 1990 when I tried to beat this game and turtles so many times. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Thanks! we'd have probably talked through TMNT and Batman strategies at school lunch time
I remmember this game as a wonderful KID it was HARD you earned my sub just now !!
Thanks for the sub!! This game was def tough as a kid - I remember the first time I beat the Joker, I used Game Genie for infinite lives (and maybe Infinite ammo, too) and fought him for HOURS. At some point I finally won, probably got a little bit lucky. Tried to beat it again another time and couldn't do it. It was so refreshing to come back as a adult and really beat him.
Thank you another game beat!!!!I have been using your page since I came across this..thank you....
Thank You for helping me beat Batman The Videogame.
I love your dog, Charlie!
Wow i never managed to beat this game as a kid but that music stuck with me for 20 years. Maybe ill revisit it now
Love these videos so much. You have a dedicated fan here. I was able to beat Batman now on NES thanks to your videos I'm 2 for 2. Ninja Gaiden next.... wish me luck.
Congratulations!! I love hearing that! Good luck on Ninja Gaiden - you can do it! Don't get discouraged if you get killed by one of the end bosses, just take a minute to regain your composure, and then get back up there with the Spin Slash!
I loved this game as a kid!!!
Super challenging game, awesome play through
Damn dude, your channel blew up! Congrats. You deserve it. Just dropping in to say Batman rules!
Thanks a lot, Bits!
For anyone reading this - BitsAndGlory has a pretty cool retrogaming channel that I like to watch when taking a break from my own videos. Worth a look!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Thanks for the plug, I appreciate it! Honestly though I'm not surprised to see you doing so well. I think the first video I found for you was Legacy of the Wizard and I remember saying to myself how you were a very unique & informative channel!
@@Bitsandglory Thanks, Bits! That means a lot coming from you!
You can tell how intense this game is by the serious look on Kylo's face in the intro. The pupper knows this game is no easy task!
No doubt!
hey man... just a lil note... i listen to your commentary on games before i go to sleep and pass out to ur voice... your voice so soothing and calming hehehehe
My best friend and I got to the Joker a couple of times back in 1990, but I don't think we ever beat him. Love your videos :)
This reminds me of the old gameplayers tips and tricks video cassetes👍👍👍
I've previously never beat the 1st level of this, but man, sunsoft sure knew how to make the best graphics on nes!
Awesome video and amazing graphics for NES.
Had an awesome soundtrack too!!
Loved this game. Perfect difficulty level too imo. Challenging but not impossible, and when you die you feel like it was your own fault and not something cheap in the game. Sometimes enemies respawn too fast and thats annoying, but other than that its ok I think. Joker isnt bad at all once you know the pattern.
The firts 4 levels are hard but doable. But the last one is hell. An on top of that, you go all the way back if you die against fire bug and joker.
thanks for the video
Amazing !!
Feel like I just called into the Nintendo Power Line...Well done!
My brother brought over a shoe box of old NES games. This was one in the collection that I've never even played. Going to give it a whirl on the original hardware!
I loved this game when I was a kid!!!
I loved this game as a kid it was totally Awesome man
New subscribers...love your channel
Fantastic. Beat this before, but always love seeing other tips and tricks. Had no idea so many enemies could be despawned. Would love to see bionic commando next.
Thanks, Christopher! Bionic Commando is a great idea for an episode - Look for a Bionic Commando episode within the next month or two!
Man....I love bionic commando! Please do this!!!
@@pointedspider This one is definitely on the schedule for the next couple weeks. My next video is recorded already, (I'm still working on the graphics and the intro), but we'll probably see a Bionic Commando episode at the end of this month or beginning of next month!
Good video. It's a neat alternative to the one I made a few years ago.
I borrowed this game from my friend back when I was in high school I could never beat the second stage I only had it for 2 days good memories playing this it kind of reminds me of castlevania
love your channel, keep up the good work
Thank you!!
Everytime UCBVG says use the dirks I think of the Letterkenny episode where Wayne says 'dirks' derisively lol
You make great content, inspiring! You deserve a lot more views and subscribers! :)
Thank you so much! Tell your friends :)
Hey man i really appreciate that gets games easy or easeyr
You have such a beautiful, soothing voice for a golden retriever! ☺️
My mother bought me this game for Christmas was I was 10. Had NO IDEA I was getting it (I hinted around it to her), but i went crazy on Christmas morning when "Santa " got it for me!!
I can't tell if the voice is a robot or human. xD
I AM ROBOT. I AM HERE TO BEAT YOUR VIDEO GAMES 🤣
@@UCanBeatVideoGames HAHA! Thanks for the awesome guides. Batman The Videogame is my favorite NES game. I still have my OG one CIB.
It's actually a dog. The one you see at the beginning of the video. Ha.
I know, right? I liked the VO on the Ninja Turtles video but his delivery at the top of this one is a weird choice.
@Craig Adams Quit complaining about my complaint
I've beaten the game before but that Joker strategy is top-tier. Great video.
Thanks, Eikichi!!
Another great video and I love this channel. Your strategies are so simple and easy to follow. I know you did Super C but can you consider doing Contra on the NES. I am struggling with it. Thanks for the great content
This robot has some very insightful analysis. Next step is to learn human conversational cadence. keep at it bud! I just subbed!
Thanks man!
6:43 some third party controllers offer a "slow motion feature" that rather consists in a "turbo pause mode", which is commonly set in the start button. By placing the pause function in the select button this and other games avoid the use of that feature and prevent cheapening the experience. Game developers use that strategy or set a long "pause sequence" like in the Street Fighter II franchise for SNES -I had the games and system so I totally remember it.
Its a great channel, keep up the outstanding work.
I love this game. All aspects. And I bought the funko pop of batman from this. He's even purple and blue.
That's really cool!
Loved playing this as a kid.
This game was so cool with its dark graphics and killer soundtrack.
Great verdio
My good friend had this game when we were kids and I remember it being oh so so damn difficult for us kids who were like 10 years old or so. It was a huge accomplishment for us when we finally beat it. We were able to get to Joker multiple times before but it was some random saturday afternoon we finally managed to beat him. The feeling was awesome.
The game also has a totally awesome soundtrack. I would say it's only second to Mega Man 3 soundtrack.
The NES Advantage turbo function helped big time with this game.
Start switches weapons because it is next to A&B.. Love the Channel.. Keep it up.
WOW these games are just taking me back to my childhood this is Awesome i loved this BatMan game i miss my childhood 😔
Thanks! - I feel you, man - hanging out as kids just playing Nintendo, those were good times.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames hell Yeah those were good times
Always interesting to learn a bit of history about the games. That was actually a good approach Sunsoft had. Start development before trying for the license so you have a better quality game.
I feel like this wasnt going to be a batman game at all and they changed some stuff and added the sprites. Think about it, joker wasnt supposed to be in the game, the enemies were just weird and way off, the wall jump hmm?
