[TAS] [Obsoleted] NES Batman by DreamYao in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
This movie has been obsoleted by tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2023-06-19
Batman is a licensed NES video game adaptation of the 1989 Tim Burton movie of the same name. Here, the hero of Gotham City goes against the villains of Gotham City, the Joker and whatever unfortunate lackey that teams up with him. His fists are more powerful than any weapon in the world, but he rarely kills anyone. It's not like his enemies can hurt him anyway. After all, he's the hero, and heroes are supposed to be invincible. But let's not dwell on that and enjoy the excellent graphics and music by Sunsoft.
DreamYao ( tasvideos.org/... ) improves the previous movie ( tasvideos.org/... ) by 36 frames, thanks to better boss strategies that reduce lag in the process.

Watch this run being played back on a real console ( • [TAS Verified] NES Bat... ).

That soundtrack. So well done, and such complex emotions it brings with the memories it conjures. The summer of 92, renting games for our first console, sessions of play in between chasing off to the woods. Everybody from that time’s gone, now… all just echoes.

[@avalonjustin]

Are you trans?

[@devill2312]

[@MythicMagus]

The OST in this game is flawless.

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

Funny that this gets posted today, since on Adam Savage's channel they were showcasing matte paintings, and one of them was the Batcave from the Keaton movies. XD

[@moneymikz]

That’s cold in the movie he at least tried to save Joker

[@manolochapa7534]

Gran leyenda y juegazo increíble

[@EdmanXERO]

That moment when Batman is faster than the Flash. XD

[@callmeshaggy5166]

Back when Batman just straight-up murders Joker by punching him off a skyscraper

[@nat_cat2923]

better boss strategies that reduce lag in the process??? wow gg!

[@MidnightWonko]

I like how this game bears only the most fleeting of resemblances to the movie, with the chemical plant and the cathedral being the only locations I recall from the movie. Seriously, I've never played this game, but it looks like a lot more fun than a game based more faithfully off the movie. It's basically just taking Ninja Gaiden and slapping on a Batman skin.

[@devildantedd666]

What a surprise, I've just finished Arkham series and here is suddenly TAS.

[@BrbZrk]

This and Ninja Gaiden i remember very well frpm my childhood.

[@mustanggt33]

Oh the nostalgia! Awesome video

[@Venomex]

Complete with movie accurate ending

[@EvilMariobot]

I loved the part in the movie where The Joker called down lightning from the heavens!

[@artstrutzenberg7197]

Fond memories....spending hours with trying to beat this game as well as Final Fantasy 1, the Bards Tale series (Commodore 64), and a bunch of other games :D

[@patrickmurphy9470]

Joker is twice the size of Batman. Lol.

[@kyokitagawa7977]

He keeps improving it

[@bradhedgehog12]

4:41 I hope that’s not the batcave

[@JuanCarlos-hu5ov]

En unos buenos minutos el juego fue completado de venserlo como modo expert 😎

[@willgrellosbelts8695]

These songs are bangers. I can't decide which level is the best. I mean the 4th is maybe the weakest, but would be the best track on 99% of any other NES games.

[@ammiebaker2911]

Let's go!!! TAS edition

[@mosaton]

I had this game and played it all the time. I loved the music. But I had one itty bitty tiny complaint. Batman doesn't kill

[@RUSViRTuE]

DreamYao improves the previous movie by 36 frames

[@RADish-official]

Best game on the system at the time

[@avalonjustin]

Just goes to show what you can do to an 80's NES game with 2023 tech.

[@craigluft7453]

Game devs: Hey NES, can you do purple? NES PPU: I got purple for days. Every purple you want. Game devs: Can you do yellow? NES PPU: Ye...BROWN ye...ORANGE ye...PUKE GREEN

[@bradhedgehog12]

I hope you didn’t use codes in this

[@sportsjefe]

No, TASers aren't allowed to use codes unless they explicitly disclose it.

[@bradhedgehog12]

@@sportsjefe ok

[@chelseaengland7536]

😢 die in the flash

[@SmoggyLambGG]

What black magic is this!? I don't see any part of the screen appearing on the top, bottom, or sides with this 4-way scrolling nonsense. (Normally, parts of the screen are redrawn as a side effect of 4-way scrolling)

[@hhallahh]

So this is one of these 80s games where they just created a generic urban/tech setting and then grafted on some sort of licensing in the last 5 minutes of development, I presume? A real classic.

[@testicularchin-slapper9686]

cheats and turbo don't count
