16:11 Stuart's little "Oh." combined with Oliver's laughter layered over the clip of Joker smashing his hand on Batman's chest armor got me smiling way more than it should. 😆
When I was in the second grade, my neighbor got this his birthday present. We all played the game at his party. We got so bored, we went outside and ate cake, without finishing. Have not thought of this game since then. Lol
@@SNNetwork No he was Joker 33 years ago. But Keoghan was Joker in a deleted scene for the Batman with Patterson while Phoenix's Joker has a sequel in the works and last Leto had a new scene in ZS Justice League and wants to do more. While on the flipside we have Patterson's Batman and both Keaton and Affleck in the Flash movie. Meaning at the moment we have 3 live action Batmen and 3 live action Jokers something unique to now.
@@sfighter0085 Bale's not currently playing Batman the other 3 actors are hence why I didn't mention Christian Bale or Lewis Wilson, Robert Lowery, Adam West, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, David Mazouz, Iian Glen, Kevin Conroy and Warren Christie. & for the same reason no mention of Caesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, or Cameron Monaghan as Joker because they're not currently playing the character either.
Paul Lomond Games released a game in the early 90s, which I still have to this day, called "Skull & Crossbones". A wonderful, tense, pacy game, in which you play pirate(s), who have committed mutiny and have to escape from an island of treasure and traps, before the captain and the rest of the crew land. This is all played out to a VHS cassette, an hour in length, in which the captain and a allie parrot regularly interact with your uniquely developing game(s). You have an hour to escape the island, with your matching coloured treasure, before all the coves are shut and his crew lands. The Batman game is obviously one of their lessor, "can't be bothered" efforts...
I've still got this game. It was OK but between 1989 and 2020 it sat in my attic until my little lad asked what it was, we got it out and started playing it, he loves it!
The age rating will be mostly based on components rather than complexity. It's expensive to go through the testing you need to sell a game as child-friendly, so many of them are just marked as 12+ or 14+ where you mostly don't have to worry about kids eating the pieces.
I loved Stuarts (totally justified) hatred toward the overall cheapness of this bloody game! Eventhough there seems to be only a fraction of your viewers, Oliver - pleeeaase keep your common hobby of boardgaming with Ashens up! Its so entertaining to see the two of you interact & play. And i thoroughly liked your cuts to Jack Nicholson in this.
Glad I watched this before buying it. It looked fun but it's just a lame back and forth path game with cool artwork. Great to see Bob the Goon had a spot. Nice use of the movie clips! You're guys' laughter and banter was infectious too!
Oh my God, that seems even worse than when I bought a board game for my nephew when he turned 5, called Bajsspelet (I asked for advice in the toy store and the staff gave me it). It turned out that you would only go with game pieces on the playing field and every time you ended up on a brown box you would make a fart sound and every time you ended up on a yellow one you would make a peeing sound. A little too simple for a five year old who loved playing chess..
How old are you guys? When are the BBC or ITV going to fund these guys and let them make their show already? Imagine what they could do with a real budget. Oliver’s films are well made. lets let bbc know to back Ashen and Oliver on a series.
First off, saw on Twitter you've got Covid, ouch! Anyway wishing you a speedy recovery. 😊 Wow, don't think I've ever head of this game...glad I didn't, still wish I've haven't. This is basically a board game version of "You Absolutely Can't Win!" from "Jane Austen's Mafia", and that movie didn't come out until 1998, make me wonder if the makers of that movie got the idea for that fictional casino game from this sorry excuse for a movie tie-in. If I want to good game based off of the 1989 "Batman" movie, I'll stick with the Nintendo Game by Sunsoft, than you very much. LOL
“You crossed my line of DEATH!” “You haven’t dismantled your MX stockpile” “Pakistan is threatening my border!” “THAT’S IT MISTER. NO MORE MILITARY AID!”
Serious "Jumanji" vibes with this one... not the excellent films, but the board game that came out that is just "roll the dice... roll the dice more..." - Its awful and nowhere near as fun as could have been. Feel like I should be making my own board games at this rate. :P Also, I might've had this game... so many rung bells. :P

This game would see a huge improvement if The Joker covered it in paint set to Prince music.
@33:55 lol It's the way Oliver sighs "Nothing really" that cracks me up 😆
"It's got Batman on it....he'll fall for it..."
Really enjoyed the last one you did with Alien. Hope this becomes a bit of a series.
One of the better made board game playthroughs, the clips of the movie spliced in were great :)
Pretty sure Stuart was supposed to get rid of that copter card. He used it twice.
2:58 he does for one brief scene when the scientist is packing up the chemicals to ship to the public
"Ship 'Em All!"
I was gonna say I thought I remembered him going back there
Yep. And then Batman blows it up.
The Joker did go back to the factory in the film. It's where he was making his Joker chemicals. Batman then blows it up.
"Have you shipped a million of those things?!"

Why does Batman need the Batwing to get from Wayne Manor to the Batcave? Isn't the Batcave directly underneath Wayne Manor?
This is great. It reminds me of the board games Ashens played with Larry Bundy Jr. years ago. I wish he had advertised this on his channel.
Patterson, Keaton, Affleck, Phoenix, Leto, and Keoghan 3 Batmen and 3 Jokers so the real world has caught up to the game.
you mean nicholson?

@@jokerz7936 Okay, I see where you're going.
Shouldn't Stuart have drawn a card after moving across with the copter, meaning that Oliver should have drawn the Batwing?
You should consider a job in Vegas!

Nice, the Genesis game soundtrack.
you can go there without the copter/wing if the square tells you to.
21:21 Yes, yes we are. 😂😂
WHATS IN THE BOX!!!!
I used to have this.
Gotham City Hall The Town Hall
I had this game as a kid. I can't believe how often I played it and somehow convinced myself it was good!?!
Wow does that bring back memories :)
*_Batman 1989_* is absolutely amazing.

The best part was when you didn't do any impressions of me for once :P
But...hello you!
(Okay, okay...I'll get me coat...)
Never knew there was a Batman 89 board game.
And it doesn't look like I was missing anything...
Looks like it was only available in the UK.
I was not aware they made a board game of Batman 89.
Same.
I couldn't return this- it was a birthday present to my 10 year old self.
The illustrations are straight out of the comic adaptation, btw, so they didn't even spend money on that.
The Batman logo looks great though.
Batman: The board game
Oddly this one doesn't seem to be on BGG..
I'm Ludo-I mean I'm Batman!
It’s basically candy land with battle cards.
I had this game hahahahahaha! Follow both you guys!
Glad I watched this before buying it. It looked fun but it's just a lame back and forth path game with cool artwork. Great to see Bob the Goon had a spot. Nice use of the movie clips! You're guys' laughter and banter was infectious too!
What is the post credits retro theme anyone? 35:09
I had the RGB boardgame (Still do I think) I seem to remember it being decent enough (spinner was warped out of the box though.

I have somewhere a Back To The Future Board game which I had to send away to SMITHS Crisps for back in 1986. I bet that looks pretty lame too lol.

I have this game but no bugger will play with me🥺
lose turn obviously means the other player loses a turn 🤦♂️
🧐🧐🧐
Why is ashen trying to look like an american from Arkansas?
Couldn't not watch this one all the way through....nice use of Sega Mega drive Sunsoft Batman music...

This game is a bad joke. Let's see: Yes, that's it: Badman and the Joke that is this game.
Review The Omen films.
Trash to Treas.....no just trash 😞
Batman the Bored game.
Batman: 1989 on Boardgame Geek has a rating of 3/10 stars. Dull, bland and boring.
