Batman Begins - Hero or Zero?

Homer, there's a man here who thinks he can help you. Batman? No, he's a scientist. Batman's a scientist. It's not Batman!

Spiderman is the scientist, Homer. Batman's an entrepreneur.

@@NeoSaturos123 Batman probably has enough degrees that he can be whatever the hell he wants to be.

[@taterslam0573]

I played this game so much. I didn’t play any of the Arkham games until 2013 so I played this game a lot! I even had my own personal game challenges like don’t get hit or spotted once. Good times

[@scrambled5948]

You should definitely do an episode of Spider-Man: shattered dimensions on this show

[@Lomaxxx53]

you mean Web of Shadows

[@scrambled5948]

Dixit Dominus no

[@Hraesvlgr]

How about Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects?

[@chrizrann6412]

I had a scratched version of that on ps2 and I could make it to the second level and it'd freeze. Still played the shit out of it

[@StrawberryDreemurr]

That game is like a fever dream lmao. Such a good game, but It’s not very memorable to me. They somehow managed to make Elektra cool though.

[@astrangehero]

@@StrawberryDreemurr Somehow? Elektra has always been cool man. It's just the live action adaptations that suck... she kicks ass in the comics.

[@D4WN0FF1R3]

Yo, I played that game so much as a kid. No idea if it holds up but back then it was so awesome.

[@StrawberryDreemurr]

Ultra Hero I mean, I’m not saying you can’t like her, but she’s just kinda an accessory to Daredevil.

[@joemorgan2390]

Oh man, this was one of my staple games as a kid.

[@WoodlandDrake]

What about the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game from 2009?

[@greenswamponion7330]

This was one of my favorite games growing up

[@bisexualichigo4227]

Love that Intro! WAIT WHAT?! There’s a Batman Beyond game?!

[@newflesh666]

They were, for a time, even making a Dark Knight game, but that got scrapped and it was decided to make Arkham Asylum instead.

[@Meowarco]

I remember going to see this movie with my dad the day it came out, then walking into the mall and seeing it at EBGames and getting it as an early birthday gift. Loved it.

[@William_Millar]

I have a suggestion, The LEGO Games? They’re actually very fun to play.

[@TBO_Punk665]

Would love to see this continued. Maybe with some lesser known titles like the Ghost Rider game, or doing some throwbacks to the x men legends franchise

[@warldworZ]

The Batman screaming at 2:40 isn't Christian Bale. It's one of the copy cats at the beginning of The Dark Knight. The ones wearing hockey pads.

[@GenerationWest]

Been anticipating this series for awhile now, and I thought it was so weird that got 90% of the cast, even the SEGA Marvel Studios games couldn't get everyone. Now you can cover Zeroes like Marvel Nemesis, that gem of a game, that was super busted,but it was 2005, it was just about all I had, besides X-Men Legends 1 & 2, those are some Heroes!

[@farticusmaximusOG]

You are the best voice actor comparison channel! Your work is highly appreciated!

[@Riggs_The_Roadie]

Man, I hope Ghost Rider is in this series. That game was so damn good. I will never shut up about it.

[@lnsflare1]

If original superhero IPs count, then I nominate Gravity Rush Remastered and especially Gravity Rush 2 (AKA, Spider-Sonic ga Gotoku: Odyssey of the Wild). The Gravity Queen deserved way more recognition than she got

[@Zostead]

2005, holy shit I still remember this game dropping and all the hype surrounding. My neighbor got the PS2 version and we played it for like 3 hours before going back to X2 Wolverine's Revenge.

[@tenchumatt]

Yes, this is a great looking series. I would happily watch more of this.

[@saimysilvia]

LOL that ladder climbing animation. Imagine that in snake eater.

[@mightyquin6831]

oh god, I remember playing this way back when, the bat mobile mini game was not only hard, but pointless to the plot, the first mission with the car at least. god it looks so much worse then I remember

[@ManiacMayhem7256]

The rest of the game was decent

[@Spike-Prime]

Gotta say, I'm really quite glad how this video came out. I've got a lot of nostalgia for this game, and really loved it a lot as a kid. Looking back, there are some issues to note; for instance, the walking and running controls are a little wonky. Batman has this habit of drifting off to the left or right when moving, so he ends up slaloming around. But at least he has auto-run instead of Arkham's stupid "hold button to run" controls, ughh...

[@spidersonic0110]

Love the intro

[@christophera5055]

Great Vid...keep em coming...also, can we get a Whaaaa Happun about the dumpster buffet that was the Dark Tower movie????

[@beancheesedip8337]

Holy shit I thought I was the only person who's ever played or even remembered this game. I actually bought it again a couple years ago at a retro game store in Seattle because it was like, 6 bucks, and because I remember playing the game religiously as a kid. It actually held up surprisingly well. It's also backwards compatible on the 360 and works extremely well on it (some games, especially older xbox games, have issues on the 360, like audio and visual glitches).

[@D4WN0FF1R3]

I know there's footage of it in the video, but the X-Men Legends games (mostly the second one, the first one is ridiculously hard in places, but I still love it) are some of my favorite PS2 games to this day.

[@crescentfresh8001]

I had always lumped this in with all of the near-unplayable Batman games (in my defense, it was a LONG stretch since the last good one at that point), I'll have to play it, it looks really solid by mid-aughts movie tie-in standards.

[@kainhighwind2]

You should check out Captain America: Super Soldier. It's basically Arkham Asylum, but it's WW2. And you're Captain America. It's also canon to the MCU, because it takes place during that big montage in "The First Avenger" and manages to throw in some comic villains like Madame Hydra.

[@squeethemog213]

This series looks like ita gonna be fun. Can't wait for more Matt 😄

[@SkyeTheNerd]

Thank you for pointing me towards this video! Great video as always!

[@datdankdj8264]

Nice NES Batman, and Batman forever soundtrack…streets of desolation…nice

[@ArcaneOmen2041]

I still feel like the only reason that The Dark Knight game was cancelled comes down to Heath Ledger's tragic & untimely death. Given how much of what made this game was the character models & VO starpower, to have someone even TRY mimicking that performance (whatever you think of it now in 2020) would not only have fallen short talentwise but also come off as potentially tasteless.

[@BEYONDTHESPIDERFILMS]

This was one of favorite Batman game of all time growing up, well until Arkham came out. Still feel Begins is forgotten by so many people, which is a shame

[@wallywest4727]

While not a great game by any means it is noticeable how key things this game does actually gets expanded upon in the Arkham games, i have no idea if Rocksteady took notes from Begins but its clear Begins had the right ideas.

[@MST3KNJ]

I would say X-Men Destiny but that's more of a "Wha Happun" thing. The X-Men Genesis titles would be interesting, especially Spider-Man and the X-Men where they take on Arcade.

[@EinDose]

Video games gave me a VERY incorrect assumption of how big a deal Arcade was in the comics. He was given REALLY high billing in Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and I wonder if that's just because the developers had circus assets laying around or something.

[@Blackhawk19892]

Kudos to the poor sod who had to do those Cape physics. Impressive as hell for the time but boy did it get funky at points.

[@DrWhatson94]

Omg that Batman forever music in the background

[@Monolith1676]

Gotta love that Batman Forever music in the background.

[@PrototypeSpaceMonkey]

Of course the Tumbler is a Batmobile. It's like Air Force One. The second a Batman steps into a vehicle it becomes THE Batmobile.

[@bfhtom]

X-men nemesis or something like that?? It was pretty good, original format that ultimate alliance uses.

[@CrimsonMoonM]

Now this one's going to be interesting. I was always curious about this game because of the whole fear-based gameplay but never actually bought it due to the permeating stinky smell of licensed games at the time.

[@TheOriginalEdFry]

[@gruthakhul100]

[@M1dniter]

I played this game religiously when it dropped. It was so short I beat it pretty much every time I picked it up.

[@OptimusShr]

Full credit for the Batman NES music at the beginning.

[@oedipascourage6262]

One of the bests that generation has to offer graphically.

[@picklehead42]

I remember X Men: The Official Game for my PS2. Split between a beat em up with Wolverine, stealth with Nightcrawler (I think?) and a really cool Ice Man level by the Statue of Liberty.

[@SpardasTechReviews]

That climb animation though lol

[@TrillNye69]

The Adventure of Batman & Robin on SNES is still one of my favorite Batman games

[@MadeBy.Archives]

Woooh, this game! It was meh for me as a kid, but replaying it not too long ago, I appreciate it much more now considering its rushed production. Like the Batman Begins movie itself, it held up incredibly well with age. Glad movie tie-ins are a thing of the past though even if this game was better than most.

[@bananabike279]

Nice, I didn't know April was Superhero month!

[@rooples3267]

Oh Ultimate Spiderman from 2005 that was a weird game that came out a year after the spiderman 2 tie in game which i dont really see talked about that much. Maybe its just cause im kinda nostalgic for it

[@slinkbradshaw8674]

Oh man you gotta do xmen origins wolverine, the best movie tie in I've ever played lol

[@cristianalvarado3473]

I remember beating that game like 3 times at least, the sentinel fight was bad ads.

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Is it just established superheroes? There is a game that features its own original superheroes called Freedom Force that I think you'd enjoy. Only problem is that there is some workarounds that need to be implemented since Windows 10 and Freedom Force don't go so well.

[@firebird1080]

I nominate Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge (is that what it was called?) That game was hard as balls and I want someone to talk about it in length.

[@clintmcbride7830]

Honestly, The videogame adaptation of the Amazing Spider-Man is pretty solid as well. Pretty much a mildly watered down Spider-Man flavored Arkham game. But the quick movement system was awesome.

[@MezTZO]

Ah, I loved this game to bits.

[@ZeOHKay]

I remember playing this game on the Gamecube and having a lot of fun with it.

[@kingofthegundam7974]

Wasn't there a Dark Knight Rises game for the iPhone/iPad?

[@Spacebattler]

Doth my ears decieve me or is that SNES Batman Forever music playing in the background?

[@flippedoutkyrii]

Man, I really should have given this game a chance. I turned it down because all I saw was just a bunch of unimpressive screenshots of barren rooms on some now long-defunct websites. All the levels have such a mid 00's polish that's genuinely pushing the limited hardware. Really should have picked it up, I would have had a blast.

[@haroldsorto6997]

But.....but he does invest a good amount of it back into Gotham. I mean the budget isn't as high as his Batman budget, but he's just following U.S budgetary guidelines. Defense/Offense first and whatever else after. Also, think Gary Oldman was going to be in the Dark Knight game or something, remember reading that he saw a build of it before it was canceled. So, think that there was another reason as to why he wasn't in the first game. And yeah I'm still salty about the tumblr too, even more so because I'm sure it inspired that god-awful bat tank in Arkham Knight.

[@zubzero304050]

Would love to see Ultimate Spider-Man, I loved that game as a kid. Also the soundtrack is just incredible in that.

[@TheMetalGearKid]

Judging from Batman's running/movement cycle is actually a copy paste of Sphinx's running/movment cycle from Sphinx and The Cursed Mummy. Put both games side by side and youll see what i mean

[@Abacabb1]

Is that the Batman Forever game soundtrack in the background?
