Batman Part 1

"I am the bat" -- Hank Venture

Ledger? Nicholson? No... Matei is the greatest Joker.

I totally know what James angers with Batman forever When I was younger I had the same exact problems within the first five mins...If I only would have known, I could have told the shop I rented from that I´m Batman....too bad the shop isnt around anymore...

Anyway...the best Batman game ever made is the one based off TAS. Love it till today

I think this is hands down my favorite episode. James' rage at the controls of Batman Forever seems more genuine than any other episode, making that much funnier.

Im Batmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!

Heh, I didn't really thing Batman Forever was bat... ehrm, bad, just frustrating. The worst part, and I still remember this, is the special moves. You don't talk about them, but they were awesome because of the arsenal of gadgets you could use. However, the button combinations in the manual weren't right. I checked my box, there I still have a piece of paper with the button combinations that did work. I had to find out through trial and error! And those combinations are so elaborate, I didn't use them a whole lot. Anyway, I still think the game is pretty fun once you get used to it, even though I never got past the brutal circus stage.

I love moments when Mike goes Ape Shit....

James do a batman arkham asylum review for the fans man or will keep telling you and try the sequel arkham city come on everyone let's keep telling him to do a batman arkham asylum and city review PS James you don't need the angry nerd for this man.

Oh man, I used to have batman forever on the sega genesis, if you think this was bad, try doing those controls with only 3 buttons and no triggers.

Mike's hilarious in this one as the joker lol

Wish we could get more awesome vids like this but seems like James has toned it down quite a bit for his movie right? Meh I rather just see lots more of these.

Please someone deliver an oscar to Mike Matei

Mike Matei delivers one of the best portrayals of The Joker I've seen.

Dang, I never saw James so mad on any review. This deserve the "Mad Medal" achievement. (Though everything he says is true, and damnly funny on how he does it.)

Omg, I just tried watching ONE TGWTG video and he's so whiny i'd rather watch the same AVGN videos over and over! He repeats himself and thinks his jokes are funny. I don't like his face, either.

James Rolfe > all.

I cant believe I made it to Two Face as a kid on Sega :/

Riddle me this, AVGN fans!

What normally has a pot of gold at its end, but you'll only find shit at the end of this one?

I had Batman Forever for PC. You think it's hard playing with 12 buttons? Try a fucking keyboard. I never made it past the grappling part and I had it for years.

before my dog chewed my SNES cord this year i bought Batman Forever .... i know what it means ...its fucking HORRIFYINGLY BAD

Erm Forever**

As a child i remember renting Batman returns for the Sega Genesis... The controls were so bad and i was so lost at that first grappling hook part I litterally thought my game was defective and had my parents take me back to return it for another copy. When i realized the game was just bad i reluctantly went back to my other games because i could at least PLAY them. No select button on the sega controller... i wonder if it was just some weird button combo to use the hook...

one of the best AVGN video and........I would love to see James as Batman+mike as joker in a real batman movie...lol

- James Rolfe

baahaha reminds me of the episode you go "who where's a mask playing video games"

Batman Forever it sucked back then and it sucks forever! That had me in stitches.

Just as -headcase- Said, This is also one of my fav's due to those two things.. When ya go all out RAGE! on the stupid controll settings.. "THERES FOUR BUTTONS RIGHT INFRONT OF THE CONTROLLER!!.. WHA.. !.. THATS NOT ENOUGH TO WORK WITH!??111! & "Who the fuck is talkin about restarting?!" :D

One thing I noticed when watching through the videos from the beginning: you moved! Why wasn't this acknowledged in the series? The nerd lair with wood paneling in the basement is 1,000,000 times more iconic than the dingy cramped apartment living room with the old radiator and the high plaster ceilings, although the apartment has its place in nostalgia to be sure. I also believe this is the FIRST video in the series to take place in the Nerd Lair. Great way to start, love Matei's Joker!

ROFL everytime i watch this episode, when he gets all pissed about the buttons....

Wow the Batman Forever Analysis on Snes brings me Back to an old debate. what is better Snes or Sega Genesis. My Cousin Had Snes I Had Genesis. Back in tho's times it was great to have one or the other and have a close friend / relative have the other so you could see what you might be missing out on either system as Batman Forever is a key example of what People who only had access to Snes where missing out on. On genesis it was the same game but the controls weren't all fucked up it was a Fun Game. But I remember my cousin who rented it on Snes was going through the exact same shit as AVGN In this episode So basically in conclusion Don't base your opionion of Batman Forever only the Snes. Check it out on Genesis Of course the 6 button controller or Nomad is mandatory. It is a Fun game i remember playing it allot in my past. But on Snes The button set up dose almost ruin the entire experience.

Gaming enthusiasts actually made a hack for Batman for the NES that made it easier. Considering that almost every hack is designed to make the game harder, this says something about how hard (and cheap) the game is.

I love this episode for two reasons. First is the "Restart Game? Who the fuck is talking about restarting?" Second is the sheer angriness at the comically poor control scheme of Batman Forever.

i playied batman forever and all i can say its that : THAT GAME CAN SUCK MY BALLS !!!! I WAS YOUNG BUT WTF I COULDNT PASS THE THIRD LVL OR WHATEVER IT WAS !!!

IM BATMAN!!! Hilarious!XD

Bat-Tastic!

This is one of your best videos. Every time I watch this one it gets better. Funny funny ass shit.. The nerd at his best.

I haven't seen this one in a while. I forgot about the abomination that was Batman Forever. Man, when my cousins and I rented that game, we thought it was going to be as awesome as Batman Returns (SNES) was...boy were we disappointed. I don't even know how the game ended. lol

Wait a minute: there are actually good Batman games besides Arkham Asylum? Just kidding. Of course the Batman Forever game is bad: it was made by Acclaim.

Did anyone else play Shatterhand? Great game that reminded me a ton of the excellent original Batman on the NES, though both games are harder than porn star's cock.

Batman is my all-time favorite superhero, and the film series are one of my all-time favorites, and it's thanks to the Christopher Nolan films.

I love your new location, James, especially since this 2-parter episode. It's like the Nerd Cave.

I've played some of the NES game, but I've only made it to the middle of the 2nd level. It I was gonna finish this game, I gotta be hard-core.

I wonder if Joel Schumacher help design the Batman Forever game. Also, what's with the stock enemies? Doesn't this game have Riddler and Two-Face? At least you saved yourself the insanity that is "Batman & Robin" for the PlayStation.

The good Batman games I've played from start to finish are Batman Begins, Justice League Heroes, and (shocker) Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Im Batmaaaaann! lol

Mike is fuckin hillarious! Your lucky to have great friends James

you know what, there is at least1 batman game that you left out, Its batman for the gameboy. I will be looking at this game at my youtube channel TheNintendoMaserXD, in the near future. But still, AWESOME!!!!

Im so glad I never played Batman Forever! The only Batman game that rocks is Batman: Arkam Asylum! That game kicks ass!!! Long live the Nerd!!!

I'm batmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!

@moustachex
Ugh, you fuck nugget. You need that toaster in that bath with you as Ferrobbra said. While we're at it, make it the Nintoaster. The game is shit, and you eat it up. We might say it is a mixed bag (though few would say that). But, as James said best, "It's a trash bag that's had a bad day. Like, your mom empties the cat litter box in it. Fresh doodie pebbles right into the bad. Then, your sister throws away her used tampons in the same bag. Then, your brother comes home, piss-ass drunk, and he upchucks, just pukes, right into the bag!" And that's the bag you'd fit into.

but first I got to tell it i'm 'Bat Man!"....I'M Bat Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan lol

@moustachex

if u dont like james rolfe then why would u make an account on cinemassacre you stupid idiot and are u really that mad about a stupid game then u must be a real freaking low life nerd

@moustachex

you again? son of a bitch. why hasnt somebody set you on fire yet.
you and this game should take a bath together. and while your at it. throw a toaster in the water.

JESUS FUCK
BATMAN FOREVER ON THE SNES WAS FUCKING AWESOME
HOW HOLD ARE YOU FOR FUCK SAKE
I PLAYED THIS GAME WHEN IT CAME OUT AND I WAS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL!
WE PLAYED THE GAMES 2 PLAYER COOP AND WE BEAT THE GAME EASILY
AND WHY THE FUCK AIN'T YOU PLAYING COOP GAME IN COOP ?
I GET THE PART THAT YOU ARE A USELESS PIECE OF SHIT WITHOUT ANY FRIEND, BUT WHAT ABOUT SELLING A FEW OF YOUR GAMES TO HIRE A FRIEND TO PLAY THE GAME AS THEY ARE USUALLY MEANT TO BE PLAYED !??!??
YOU DID NOT EVEN MENTIONED THE 2 PLAYER (MORTAL KOMBAT STYLE) INCLUDED WITH BATMAN FOREVER.

DUDE I SERIOUSLY WISH THAT YOU WILL DIE ALONE WITH A BUNCH OF KITTEN
