Batman Video Games Explained (1989 - 2008)

[@DonCritic]

*small mistake, I accidentally pronounce Cillian Murphy’s name wrong, it’s correctly pronounced “Ki-lee-uhn”. Kicking myself for this as he’s one of my favourite actors 😂🙏 Thanks all for the patience on this one. It took almost two weeks to go through all these games and put this video together. This is the first of many future DC Universe videos that will cover the whole history of DC Video Games before Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad releases in 2024.

That was a great retrospective, thank you. I vaguely remember playing the first NES Batman game, and Rise of Sin Tzu was a game I wanted but never got to play. Vengeance and Begins also looked pretty fun.

Thanks for watching Mike!!

[@KingdomHeart556]

Arkham Origins is INCREDIBLY underrated imo

[@bihansiceclone]

25:25 was that a damn riddler trophy in batman & robin ? We’ll be forever haunted by them in every batman game

[@DonCritic]

😂 haha yeah

[@Lowlight23]

Great video! That first Batman NES game was my favorite for a long time… and my most challenging. 👍

[@DonCritic]

Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it! The first Batman was so much fun to play, and the second game, Return of the Joker. I so wish their could be a collection of classic Batman games on current systems instead of having to find them on emulators.

[@parkerlee123]

I love the videos! I hope this gets a lot of activity!

[@DonCritic]

Thanks Parker!!

[@TheWashout13]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I missed out on early Batman games but I've played a few of the newest ones and they kick ass!!

[@DonCritic]

Thanks! I’m so glad you had a good time watching the video! Which of the new ones have you been playing? 😃

[@TheWashout13]

@@DonCritic I played the Arkham Knight recently and it was pretty fun but I didn't get too far in. The Batman tell tale game was pretty dope too!!

[@ewanbone6053]

I love this video, its great to see some other games as well as MK 😊

[@DonCritic]

Thank you so much!

[@System_Sega]

You missed the Ocean version of Batman 89 for the 8 & 16 bit home Micros. That version was more popular in the UK than the Sunsoft game. It was the pack in game for the Amiga & C64 for a while.

[@DonCritic]

Absolutely right, I should’ve made it more clear in the video, my series are mostly just covering console games. Home computer games and Java/mobile games specifically, I don’t spend much time on, simply due to them being much more difficult to get a hold off and have access to. A lot of them were also very archaic action games, point and click or text adventures and the amount of differences each version of a lot of home computer games had, it would take so long to talk about the most simple games. So to make the videos a little more streamlined and in my area of enjoyment, I just limit to console and modern PC gaming 🙂 my apologies it wasn’t more clear 🙏

[@xxshadow_k9t]

I don’t why but I watched it all the way through lol good work man 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@DonCritic]

Thank you my friend!! 🙏

[@MathiasDemo]

I could never get out of the first room in the Game Boy version of Batman Forever.

[@DonCritic]

I don’t blame you, that game is a struggle 😄

[@PhDFloppur]

Another excellent video. MK vs DC koming soon?

[@DonCritic]

Thanks so much for watching! It definitely is! 😃

[@acidgolem2132]

Fun fact : the gba port of batman return of the joker's ost was composed by the same people who compose megaman 1 and 2 ost.

[@DonCritic]

That’ll be why it’s so good! 😃

[@KingKadaver]

Amazing as always

[@DonCritic]

Thank you King!

[@kevinphillips8948]

@Don Critic I Would Like To See You Cover The Batman Arkham Games, Since The Batman Arkham Trilogy Is Coming Soon On Nintendo Switch.

[@DonCritic]

Thanks Kevin! I definitely will cover the Arkham games in the near future, but first I want to finish Mortal Kombat 😃

[@twelvezeros]

I'm biased, however, i just saw all of these and I still think adventures of batman and robin, sega mega drive version, is the best looking, best sounding, and one of my favourite games of all time. Still holds up, tl this day

[@DonCritic]

Thanks so much for watching! 🙂

[@twelvezeros]

@@DonCritic hey it was a pleasure, vid was super entertaining :) but PLEASE, can you tell me which remix did you use in intro for MK9 explained video? I asked there, but no response 🥲

[@gamervet4760]

Okay so it was Batman Forever and not Batman and Robin for the Sega Saturn. I only watched my friend play Batman Begins. Such a weird game.

[@RealAlphaDrum]

That Batman & Robin PS1 game actually looks pretty decent. Unfortunately, it seems like it was very overshadowed by the film's terrible performance because being a prime demographic, I had never seen nor heard of that game.

[@gamervet4760]

I still love Batman but never wanted to play the games. Except Arkham. I wanted (still badly want) a Superman game. It's hard to say which hero I love more but if you ask me which one I want to be my answer is Superman. For 2 very shallow reasons. Heat vision and flight, everything else is just icing on the cake. 😁

[@DonCritic]

Yeah the Arkham games are top. It would be so interesting to see a modern Superman game. Maybe we’ll see one in the future 🙂

[@gamervet4760]

@@DonCritic Would you be willing to cover more comic book games? X-Men, Spider-Man and Spawn have quite a lot of games. Those I played the crap out of. While other kids were playing DMC, Metal Gear and sports games I was playing these. I was late to the party with DMC and Metal Gear and flat out despise boring, basic ass sports games that get shat out year after year. 😝

[@DonCritic]

100% I would, in fact Spider-Man and Spawn I wanna do Explained videos on real soon 🙂

[@gamervet4760]

@@DonCritic I think we have a psychic here. Or an exploitation of nostalgia. 😝

[@kristofercarter9470]

this games of the batman is fun.

[@DonCritic]

Some of them were super fun, Batman 1989, Batman Returns SNES and Batman Begins were great! Thanks so much for watching 🙂

i thought next video was going to be mk9 =(

MK Vs DC before MK9 🙂

[@thosetwodudes]

3:49 I think you're missing something about this game NES version, the music. The music in this game is phenomenal

[@DonCritic]

💯 the music is amazing 5:10
