How did you get penguin and the joker to sit beside each other?

I liked Michael Keaton as Batman. At least he didn't sound like he was gargling gravel when he spoke

This game helps me fulfill my dream of beating up juggalos.

Flashpoint Batman uses guns also, but its Thomas Wayne not Bruce Wayne.

Not being able to turn his neck actually gives batman more of a menacing presence. It's similar to Darth Vader, who you never imagine as being very athletic or nimble; he generally just walks forward slowly hurling aside oncomers.

I love Batman Returns...both the movie and the SNES game. Actually it may be my favorite superhero movie of all time

This is the second time 2 people played this together on cinemassecre

Never have I ever thought that a bunch of pixels were hot until Catwoman in this game.

I remember playing this over and over. Still a really fun game.

this is one of my favorite games ever

Please play Batman Forever, so I can see what true rage really looks like.

This game was the cornerstone of so many memories for me as a small child.

I grew up with Batman: The Animated Series and that was the best Batman cartoon ever made.

When Andy Serkis was finally able to play Smegal in Return of the King, no one was bitching, he did so much work, it was epic to see him finally get to act...though it was corny, I respected it and many others did. So Mike and Ryan get to play games...I really hate seeing so much hate for the guys who worked behind the scenes enjoying a side project that doesn't belittle the normal AVGN episodes.

This game is so much fun. Easily one of my favorite beat 'em ups and most playable games that I have on the SNES.

Batman Returns has always been my favorite of the Batman movies

The Batman/Mario game would be nothing but "Its a me, MARIO!" "I'm Batman" for 4 hours!

The comic story arcs at the time the movie was made were basically "Please don't let us go bankrupt. We just want to keep the the heat on."

Batman Returns is probably my favorite Tim Burton movie next to Nightmare Before Christmas

This was a great game, and the music was awesome!

Batman Returns; a fun looking beat 'em up game. Wish they could reissue it for modern consoles in a Batman collection of classic and older Batman games.

Take a shot whenever Mike says "Y'know". Enjoy your hangover.

I agree, 60's Batman is great fun to watch.

I dunno if Ryan or Mike will actually see this, but... If one were to make a real life batsuit that was able to actually protect the wearer while being flexible, it would likely use some kind of kevlar (or other body armor) mesh around the neck, as well as the hips and joints. Think of how medieval plate chainmail combination armor works, where hard plates protect the chest and other vital areas, but a metal mesh is used where the wearer needs to be flexible. Someone like Bruce would have access to the most cutting edge of body armor, so he could easily produce himself a good looking set of armor made out of flexible and protective materials.

None of the negative comments matter. Ryan, you're a lucky dude to get to play rad videogames with Mike & James. So cool. Really enjoy all the AVGN/Cinemassacre videos.

Hold up and then the attack button when you're holding them. You can throw them into the background elements. God I still remember this game.

Awesome you guys did a batman game! Can you guys please do Adventures of Batman and Robin on Genesis lol

Now that I'm watching this video, I'm realizing that Ryan has eerily similar looks to Danny DeVito's "Penguin" character...

I think the neck not turning just makes him more badass! There are so many moments when a guy jumps at his side and he just punches them without even looking! How cool is that?!

Tim Burton's Batman was actually very dark for it's time. But, it was still stylish and fun for most of the time.

I love the Mike & Ryan videos! I look forward to these every week. Thanks guys!

I can't believe neither of you played this when it came out. This is one of the BEST SNES games ever. I played this to DEATH along with Contra 3!

If Batman went back to using a gun, he wouldn't have a rogues gallery.

Say what you will about the DC Extended Universe but the Batsuit LOOKS like the best live action onscreen suit.

*laughing* "Y'know? Right?!.. Like..." Love Ryan.

I think it made Batman way more badass when he could beat down a group of thugs without turning his head

"When I see Batman, I see guns, murder and prison rape" Visionary Director Hack Fraudner 2016

Tim Burton's 2 Batman movies are the best by far. They're the perfect mix of cartoony and silly (which superheroes are by nature) and serious. All the other Batman movies are too over the top (Bat-credit card) or try way to hard to be serious (Nolan ones) which take me out of it because goofy shit is happening that's not serious. Tim Burton found a great balance.

mike and Ryan are so entertaining to play the classics. keep it up guys

"Do you got to fight The Penguin now?" *Transition to fighting The Penguin*

Love this Game. This is my childhood Game and I still like to play it

Surely one of my fav blind buys ever. Great graphics, fantastic sounds & music, nice difficulty.

24:30 When Batman came, the laughs died.

Keaton Bats is the only ONLY Golden Age fucking god damn Batman that murders EVERYBODY! EVERBODY! Keaton IS the god damn Rocksteady Batman, breaking every fucking bone of bad guys and ending their criminal careers. HE FUCKING KILLS EVERYONE! Plus he's the best fucking Bruce Wayne.

I really loved Batman forever even though it was impossible to learn how to play and use the utilities on your own.

Batman Returns is my favorite movie as a kid and I like The Penguin and Catwoman I don't understand why people hate this movie?

Problem with Tim Burton is he only works with Johnny depp as head lead actor. He doesn't seem to challenge himself in that regard

Haven't thought about Tim Burton's Batman not turning his head. Didn't make the connection when they joked about it in Dark Knight. But now I won't be able to unsee it. :P

Loved this game as a kid. Great vid! Use the test tubes on the driving bosses :P

I loved playing this game.

Batman sees some parts of himself in Catwoman but at the same time he can't trust her not to steal.

Tim burton film anatomy: Dark, Macabre, Innocent and Childlike all twistedly assimilated together like The Thing.

The Batman in Scooby-doo was Neil Adams's one.

thumbs up just for the line "in movies I'm just thinking, I don't have to wear it"

If this was released now you would be able to download DLC to play as Max Shreck.

still one of my favourite Snes Games

Did you know that in the 90's Tim Burton was on for making a Goosebumps movie? Can you imagine how amazing that would have looked?! Hell he might even have been on a different path had he not done Planet of the Apes.

i just wanna point out something that I always noticed while playing, some of the music in the game is VERY similar to the Nightmare before Christmas, especially thr opening stages

There is only one director with a perfect track record Mike. The biggest James of them all.

I guess you could say Quentin Tarantino has a perfect track record. admittedly he hasn't done as many moves as some other directors.

Batman nes, batman adventure's of batman and robin and batman arkham asylum = best Batman games

I Remember renting this as a kid and loving it.

Why the fuck would you expect Batman to kill?

I'm a man in my 30s who watches other men in their 30s play video games on the internet.

This is the best Batman for SNES!

The main villain was Max Shreck

You've got it backwards. Batman: The Animated Series was heavily influenced by THESE movies. But they went a really cool new way with it by having that retro, art deco look going on. I fucking LOVE the art style in that show.

I used to be so good at this game that I was able to play the whole thing, except the Catwoman boss battle, without dying. The second stage battle, on the rooftop, is where I would always die. Thankfully I only died once when I reached that stage.

The blue suit Batman is now referred to as the Silver-Age Batman.

Well by the time Batman Returns, and even Batman in 1989, the comics had already gotten past the Adam West era. I'll say since mid 1969. In cartoons it was a different story, but in the late 60's into the 70's, that's where comics started getting grittier again. I believe Ra's Al Ghul was introduced in 1970 or 71. This was around the time where a lot of Batman's villains stopped just being colorful villains. There's some good stuff from that time, and the art was awesome. You should check some of it out. Especially The Joker's Five Way Revenge.

Great point, it's absolutely somewhere right in the middle of 60's - Nolan versions.. which is cool.

Ryan: if shortness of breath was a person

2:50 Yes, I always thought the head thing was goofy looking, and he never actually looked that skilled at fighting. Batman should be agile, and able to do martial arts and shit. Despite that, I really like the 2 Burton films.

One of my all time favourite SNES games ever; forever ever ^_^ Good choice guys

Man, I was so jelly when I saw the reviews of this one in magazines, when all I had was a lousy NES. Thank god for emulation lol.

batman begins' costume actually also suffers from the "stiff-neck' design

I loved this game on the NES...

Batman vs Pennywise: i lost my shit

Yea, because the penguin and mr freeze and aren't cheesy lol

Not only could Keaton not turn his head in the'89 batsuit he could barely move. Go back and watch the fight scenes. his opponent would be flailing around and doing all sorts of moves and Keaton would move nothing but his arms. The suit with cape weighed 90lbs allegedly.

idk why they laughed at the pixel versions of the characters they looked really good for SNES

The Batman on Scooby Doo was Adam West... Face palm

batman returns oh my i love this game

Vincent Schiavelli was some real trouble.

Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot is kickin ass in this game.

please more mike and Ryan!!!!!!

yall should have dressed as penguin and riddler for this video....

Didn't James and Doug do this game already?

LOVE this game. Before there was Arkham Asylum, there was this game.

Infant sloths normally cling to their mother's fur, but occasionally fall off~

I don't even care about the let's play. I just have grown to like hearing you dudes talk about stuff. this was a really good talk

I loved this game back in the day. I own a SNES and can't wait to get this game again!

The Penguin and Robin play "Batman Returns" on SNES.

If this game was 2 player it would of got a lot more recognition. As good as this game is, a 1 player beat em up is a sin!

You guys should play Seperation Anxiety, that Spiderman & Venom beat em up

Funny Batman and spiderman are thought to have the best Rouges Gallery .

" George Lucas *made* Star Wars " did he?

You need to play the Sega Genesis Sunsoft Batman game.

You guys need to play The Death and Return of Superman
