i’ve been playing batman returns for the nes lately, and it’s really not that bad. you kill the gargoyles by shooting them when they charge their attack. but anyway, it’s a fun game. it has good power ups, unlimited continues, and a simple password structure. id recommend it for anyone that wants a good side scrolling shooter.
The nerd anger meter is off the charts in this video. “AGAIN!!! THE FIRST F**KING LEVEL!!!” “BATMAN CAN”T TOUCH A F**KING STATUE!?” and the classic “…. F**K!!!” whenever he dies. “THAT DOESN”T EVEN OBEY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS!!!”
The music is really great.
Mike Matei as the joker, i love it Batman: SHUT UP!, Joker: F**K YOU MOTHERF**KER!!!
and boy do the Nerd and Motherf**ker Mike love to fight each other in videos.
And the Batnerd shoving those games up the Joker’s ass is one of the greatest moments in nerd history. The Nerd really went all out in this one.
Funny as hell; I have to thank the Nerd for the Batman The Caped Crusader review: I always wondered how that game worked, If he ever revisits this topic again I hope for a review of the Mega Drive Batman game; it was a good game but hard as heck and I needed a damn Game Genie to finish it. More power to the Nerd!
Oh great you reminded me of the Bat-Dance! Also, Mike’s Joker reminds me of Cesar Romero. Although, I guess from the ’60s series jokes that you guys intended it that way.
I always feel bad for the batman villains, evenin the old TV show. Does anyone remember when the riddler was strapped to a medevil spinning torture wheel!
I don’t know about all the games he plays, but Batman return of the Joker on NES isn’t a bad game! It’s a good game! OK the difficulty is insane but many of the game at this time were hard as hell.
I found this video on Youtube not to long ago. It’s basically a rehash of the ending except instead of the Joker getting games shoved up his ass, it’s Rainbow Dash that gets the shoving treatment.
In the Bugs bunny: crazy castle episode the nerd gets his ass handed to him by mike. lolz oh and in the behind the scenes Mike does accidentally hit him too.
@Dr Bigs Kimble Oh I get it. I’ve seen the 70′s Batman show (and movie).

@agenttrav I actually agree the cowardly lion is a little obnoxious but the Joker is second only to Bugs Bunny. I really like Mike as the Joker, he’s hysterical!
Just wondering, as I haven’t watched every episode yet: If I were to ask you “Hey, remember the episode where you had to ram all that stuff up Mike’s ass?”, how many eps would come to mind?
April 21, 2010 at 2:32 am
Damn no Adventures of Batman and Robin on Sega Genesis, that’s like the best one.
April 29, 2010 at 12:55 pm
I’ve seen this a thousand times, but i can’t stop laughing! The script ist brilliant, so is Mike.
My fav episode besides Gozilla =)

the gargoyle rant is possibly the angriest and definitely one of the funniest AVGN moments.
June 4, 2010 at 12:44 am
Haha, “Biff” and then “Marty”… Love it
June 9, 2010 at 7:34 am
@gonzoneil: i still think the superman 64 review is angryer.
June 13, 2010 at 4:39 am
Mike is crazy as hell. His laughter reminds me of an old cartoon but I don’t remember where I heard it (maybe it was some kind of bird)
July 8, 2010 at 2:52 pm
arkham asylum is fucking awesome

it’s the best batman game ever
July 8, 2010 at 3:42 pm
i’m gonna shove these games up your aaaasss!!!
July 15, 2010 at 3:29 am
that was a fantastic and amusing review, good job
July 27, 2010 at 2:43 am
Man I love his flip-outs.
August 18, 2010 at 9:19 am
hey shemsen u shld see plumbers dont wher ties best and i lov his flip outs

HOLY BAT SHIT THAT’S FUNNY!!! lol.

Frikin funny!! The nerds anger is beyond angry this time! Classic! Mike is frikin funny as the Joker too
October 22, 2010 at 11:54 am
Mike always does a great job as the guest stars, and is role as The Joker is no exception. =)
The music in “Return of the Joker” is awesome. Chris Holland also did his guitar version of it, and it can be found on his YouTube page.
Batman in the Game Boy version looks as bulky as he was in the graphic novel, “The Dark Knight Returns.”
The end fight is pure comedy gold.

Bad batman games up jokers ass, that sounds poetic, because some of those games seemingly COMES from ass.
January 24, 2011 at 3:56 am
mutha fucka mike is a crazy mutha fucka.
January 25, 2011 at 11:55 pm
The joker likes to play with batmans bat shit
February 9, 2011 at 11:09 am
*BIFF!!!* *MARTY!!!* *WAKAWAKAWAKA!!!* *FUCKBALLS!!!*
Lol, thought you’d just slip those in there did ya, James?
April 25, 2011 at 7:59 pm
I think every videogame/Batman Fan Has been Waiting for the Day when we see Batman Shoving Bad Batman Games up Jokers Ass
April 27, 2011 at 10:24 am
Funny as fuck
May 6, 2011 at 2:00 pm
LMAO! Ya think Mike could tone down his Joker impersonation? Just a little? lol
July 3, 2011 at 6:24 pm
James & Mike are so fucking funny!
July 5, 2011 at 7:01 am
Would be interesting to see this LSD-Mike guest star in a Board James episode – the ultimate mismatch.
July 14, 2011 at 1:17 pm
I can not believe I just watched A grown man shove A game cartridge up another man ass… Classic.
August 21, 2011 at 12:05 am
I think motherfucker mike should have been joker in darkknight instead of heath ledger.
August 22, 2011 at 12:03 pm
Mick you are the new Romero !
September 15, 2011 at 4:02 pm
Dude you seriously suck at Return of the Joker. lol. Nah I know its ‘s a pain in the ass. That’s a classic HARD game in my opinion.
October 19, 2011 at 8:49 pm
I always feel bad for the batman villains, evenin the old TV show. Does anyone remember when the riddler was strapped to a medevil spinning torture wheel!
October 21, 2011 at 7:49 am
What the FUCK!!!! Why are there all these links.
November 3, 2011 at 10:55 am
did enyone beside me find that james is filming in his new house or basement besides his normal room.
I would like to know why if you you changed where you make the videos james.
November 8, 2011 at 9:24 am
Mike is really great as the Joker! I love this episode.
November 25, 2011 at 4:34 pm
I don’t know about all the games he plays, but Batman return of the Joker on NES isn’t a bad game! It’s a good game! OK the difficulty is insane but many of the game at this time were hard as hell.
December 6, 2011 at 3:15 pm
lol mike at the ending.
December 7, 2011 at 12:12 pm
Mike starts to be annoying after 3,4,5 his acts like Joker.
December 10, 2011 at 4:49 am
Mike really stole the show as Joker
December 26, 2011 at 8:12 pm
i got arkam city yesterday, and its fucking AWESOME. im still playing return of the joker right now for some reason…
January 1, 2012 at 6:12 am
mike is awesome as every “side” character such as bugs bunny, joker, etc.
January 2, 2012 at 2:08 am
But Luigi has a different mustache…and no chin!

This is one of the best episodes.
January 28, 2012 at 6:58 am
If Mike would live in Gotham – Batman would be TOAST!!
January 28, 2012 at 6:07 pm
IM GONNA SHOVE THESE FUCKING GAMES UP UR ASS U
MOTHERFUCKING SON OF A BITCH
February 3, 2012 at 1:45 am
lol mike does an awesome job at being the joker. This was one of the nerds best episodes
February 12, 2012 at 2:56 pm
ahhhh!¬!! adverts!!! MOVE AWAY FROM YOUTUBE!!!
March 7, 2012 at 11:15 pm
@down_grunger I just downloaded ad block plus (ABP) on Google Chrome and it skips all these ads.
February 13, 2012 at 6:39 pm
This Joker isn’t Two-Face but he’s clearly “on acid”!
March 6, 2012 at 1:45 am
@Hugoso the irony is, that the acid is on two-face..
February 14, 2012 at 11:37 pm
This episode has it all, from bondage to sadism!
February 20, 2012 at 12:28 am
mike plays a fucking crazy joker, he is like daffy duck as the joker
February 25, 2012 at 10:07 am
Is it just me or does every AVGN episode with Mike playing someone involve him getting beat up? Lol.
March 4, 2012 at 10:41 pm
In the Bugs bunny: crazy castle episode the nerd gets his ass handed to him by mike. lolz oh and in the behind the scenes Mike does accidentally hit him too.
March 1, 2012 at 6:59 pm
I love how at the end James shoves all the crappy games up The Joker’s/Mike’s ass XD
March 3, 2012 at 11:22 pm
I like how there just happens to be a pile of boxes stacked there for no apparent reason.
March 10, 2012 at 3:42 pm
(1:39-1:50) uuuuuuuuuu bat dance =3 jajajajaja mike matei
March 15, 2012 at 11:34 pm
I like how he doesn’t just shove the Gameboy game but the whole Gameboy up his ass!
March 19, 2012 at 12:18 pm
i love how instead of saying something witty, he just yells “I GONNA SHOVE THESE GAMES UP YOUR ASS!!” lol we love you James =D
March 22, 2012 at 12:12 pm
I love Mike, but some of these characters he does are so fucking irritating. Joker and the Cowardly Lion especially.
March 23, 2012 at 12:21 pm
As far as the joker, the voice is intentionally irritating. He is immitating the maniacal attitude of Cesar Romero Joker from the 50′s Batman TV Show.
March 23, 2012 at 12:27 pm
@Dr Bigs Kimble Oh I get it. I’ve seen the 70′s Batman show (and movie).
March 23, 2012 at 12:30 pm
oops, I mean 60′s, not 70′s.
March 23, 2012 at 4:24 pm
@agenttrav I actually agree the cowardly lion is a little obnoxious but the Joker is second only to Bugs Bunny. I really like Mike as the Joker, he’s hysterical!
April 6, 2012 at 5:56 pm
Poor Mike…
April 20, 2012 at 10:19 pm
@Snejku: Hey, James likes his boxes!
April 30, 2012 at 8:13 am
Hey James (or anyone).
Have you seen this…
http://wkdq.com/racing-1966-batmobile-vs-1989-batmobile-which-one-wins-video/
It’s a vid of the (best) 1966 and the 1989 Batmobiles drag racing…which one wins?
July 14, 2012 at 2:38 am
“The control is like trying to get a horse to wipe its ass with an eagle” now that’s a weird mental image xD
This has to be my favorite performance of Mike in an AVGN episode.
November 15, 2012 at 1:14 pm
Joker is intentionally irritated actually
November 17, 2012 at 8:02 pm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPZW8_ID-l4
XD twiter Fun updates XDDD Superman and Batman XD
November 20, 2012 at 9:17 pm
I love the BTTF reference @ 8:28 lol
December 21, 2012 at 6:19 am
Great episode.
January 16, 2013 at 10:32 am
One of my favorite AVGN videos of all time. Mike Matei is maniac.
January 18, 2013 at 2:16 pm
Just wondering, as I haven’t watched every episode yet: If I were to ask you “Hey, remember the episode where you had to ram all that stuff up Mike’s ass?”, how many eps would come to mind?
January 21, 2013 at 2:19 am
The Batman video series has to be some of the funniest you’ve made..i can’t help but to laugh my ass off the whole time
February 23, 2013 at 12:52 pm
After the masterpiece that was Batman on the NES they just tried too hard.. And Mike is fucking hilarious as the Joker
June 13, 2013 at 3:30 am
