DrJuice1 IMO It's a case of people doing something great because they "know" nobody is watching. I doubt people had much appreciation for video game music until at least the SNES era
I loved NES music before the SNES era. This game came out when the first movie was released, and I remember renting it from a local Blockbuster when I was 10. The music has stuck with me since. Along with tons more NES music. I appreciated its music, only because before that, I had Atari, which had no music. It only beeped. 😂 Im 40 now, and still enjoy these soundtracks.
Same here! I had only Atari and this was one of the first NES games I played. When listened its music I felt in love. And Batman was one of the first movies I watched in my life. So, I must like its game
+vidura Cause the the composers were writing for short stages. They have no other choice but to pack a punch in a short amount of time. It's really crazy when you're given limitations, you're creativity really comes out.
+Robert Albrecht - this is not the reason. Did you ever tried to analize modern Hollywood movies? How much stupid things there, logic flaws, cheap characters and so on. The similar reason is with the music. It made by bad educated people these days.
@@mr.awesome6011 Or maybe he's right and you think that name-calling and chiding him in a condescending manner for praising something from a bygone era will put you in the right. It won't.
yeah i remember first song when i was kid i have this game ony my conslole so big nostalgia how much times i lesent this song when i start the game in the front of my tv it was something awsome when i was kid
It is but there are few who rivals. but batman have more song hits in the album handsdown. in my opinion, these soundtracks come close,. Super Spy Hunter, Ninja Gaiden 2.,, Supermario 3, the other batman with joker, and the Japanese Castlevania 3( that has more audio channels)
Listening to the opening for the first time was one of the most intense NES tunes ever. It just gave you that feeling that what was behind the start button was an insanely intense game.
If you think this sounds great? Check the download link version, more condensed sound with reverb and the sound channels, but still clear and crisp in a pseudo-stereo! ;D
Streets of Gotham used to play in my head when I wasn't even playing the game. After years passed I forgot where I heard this music from and it drove me crazy. Thanks for the memories.
I remember going to the mall and was in Electronics Boutique and saw this demo and every kid watched in sheer awe. there was nothing like this in '89 to that point.
It is incredible how good the music of this game is , I mean all the games I played or soundtracks I have been listening to are so good . The long gone years of 8Bit music and epic games :( :( ... I have never heard in my life such good music on a game like in the games from NES , it shows how much interest and effort producers puted in this games so that the players will have a EPIC product .
+Warffles I'll look into it. There's seriously just something about this OST though. It's not just NES music..there's something truly special about it.
***** Hi wiiguy, i dont know if u have the chance to play this game, since soccer is no big deal in america(im assuming thats where you are from) but i believe the Captain Tsubasa series (especially the first one) deserves your attention, and i hope your work aswell :3 heres a sample watch?v=h_C5UTWUXXk&list=PL06672DAF503CEEB9 thanks
***** What annoys me the most that I remember while playing this back in I think 1990s was those jumping wolverine type enemies on the toxic sewer stage. I hate them so much I almost threw my famicom controller to the TV out of frustration...hehe
one of the few companies that actually put effort into a game over music. Which means they KNEW you'd die multiple times, but still find the music appealing.
How does this not have more views? It's the absolute best video game music ever made. (I'm not a fan of batman or super heroes in general. This game was good, but the music is mind blowing.)
I just want to commend you on how excellent and handy these ost posts are. I do vgm covers and have utilized your wide array of posts and links on multiple occasions. Thank you for this very solid and reliable resource.
One of my all-time favorite NES titles AND soundtracks. Probably the only truly great movie license game ever. This game was simple in its gameplay and design, but it was quality from start to finish. No WTF moments, and not hard for the sake of being hard. This game and Blaster Master made me love SunSoft's stuff.
I literally grew up with this game (both from '89.) Love it. I still have my original cart but I was lucky enough to pick up a CIB copy as well a few weeks ago. One of the few games I liked seeing the Game Over screen. That music is too good.
I remember playing this game as a kid and getting so pissed at how hard this game was. I played this again recently and it's STILL difficult as hell. Either that, or I'm losing my touch in my old age.
No other game music had the unique elegance that the NES had. It’s distinct tones are identifiable immediately. In my opinion, they are by far the best in retro gaming. Compare this with the Sega Master System music. Not even close. Stage 4-Laboratory Ruins is one of the best examples, although this entire soundtrack is astounding
Agree with you man. I played this game before 15 years BUT ... sometime I just start the game (yes I have my NES xD) just for the Game Over song. I will remember this song forever xD
You're welcome! If you'd like, consider getting the new download link I've put, I have taken the time to update all soundtracks of current (and future) download links to have less "reverby" version of the videos here, it's still clear and crisp and has that echo/reverb, but isn't as prevalent, which I think makes it the best versions yet.
One of my good friends made a really sick hip hop beat out of the game over track in like 07. Every time I hear that music his beat comes right on in my head.
Let me commend you on a spectacular job in properly separating and making AMAZING stereophonic versions of these excellent soundtracks! Batman HAS to be my favorite 8-bit soundtrack of all time! Thank you for all your long suffering and hard work! Well done!

That Stage 1 track could be the theme song for Batman, across all genres. It's that damn good.
never ceases to amaze me how much imagination some of the 8- and 16-bit composers had.
DrJuice1 IMO It's a case of people doing something great because they "know" nobody is watching. I doubt people had much appreciation for video game music until at least the SNES era
iirc, this composer teaches music theory at a university now.

yep such art and talent working with what you had the restrictions these game soundtracks got no love
This NES mesic DESERVES over a half million hits!
Stage 1 is one of the best game tunes of all time.
Agree, so awesome
Stage 3 is great asw!
Why can't game music these days pack so much emotion as this! This is pure art.

it was a different time back then, games were more than just mere entertainment, they were spirit quests.
Because they do and you're just acting like a boomer
@@mr.awesome6011 Or maybe he's right and you think that name-calling and chiding him in a condescending manner for praising something from a bygone era will put you in the right. It won't.
The intro to this game always tricked me into thinking it locked up.
Jeung21 x2
SAME
Me too lol.
Hahahahahahahahaha hell yes! same here!
yeah i remember first song when i was kid i have this game ony my conslole so big nostalgia how much times i lesent this song when i start the game in the front of my tv it was something awsome when i was kid
7:35 Stage 4: Laboratory Ruins! Shit got real!
The more I listen to this the more I think it just might be the best NES soundtrack of all time. No flaws.
It is but there are few who rivals. but batman have more song hits in the album handsdown. in my opinion, these soundtracks come close,. Super Spy Hunter, Ninja Gaiden 2.,, Supermario 3, the other batman with joker, and the Japanese Castlevania 3( that has more audio channels)
Yes ! With Megaman 2 👌🏼👍🏼
Listening to the opening for the first time was one of the most intense NES tunes ever. It just gave you that feeling that what was behind the start button was an insanely intense game.
Sunsoft always had bitchin tunes in their games
This is way better in stereo. Axis Chemical Factory has been stuck in my head ever since playing it for the first time!
If you think this sounds great? Check the download link version, more condensed sound with reverb and the sound channels, but still clear and crisp in a pseudo-stereo! ;D
Downloaded it. I can hear so much more detail!
I used to time my attacks to the music in the Axis level...
Yeah, I'm a geek :p
I can still hear the sound of Batman's epic punches against this music. Dear God, those were the days. Epicness lay in 8-bit !!!
I want that game over theme played at my funeral.
Stage 1 music epic
Agreed is the best of all the midi songs
+Alone Wolf Still my favorite track and my favorite game from all batman series
+RuGaLxD yes me to
+Alone Wolf BGM of stage one best of all the midi song ever can't agree anymore ！！！
Streets of Gotham used to play in my head when I wasn't even playing the game.
After years passed I forgot where I heard this music from and it drove me crazy. Thanks for the memories.
Stage 4: Laboratory Ruins!!! awesome!!
I'm dancing with the devil in a pale moonlight.
The epicness is strong with this one
Laboratory Ruins is still after 20+ years kicks serious ass...If I was a Pro Wrestler, I'll use that theme for my entrance music =)
I remember going to the mall and was in Electronics Boutique and saw this demo and every kid watched in sheer awe. there was nothing like this in '89 to that point.
It is incredible how good the music of this game is , I mean all the games I played or soundtracks I have been listening to are so good . The long gone years of 8Bit music and epic games :( :( ...

Been gaming for 30 years, and I agree.
They're not gone dude, just go play NES
Stage 1 just has the most awesome freaking song. I love all the remixes and covers of it out there. Just has a great melody.
Sunsoft had there shit down, quality throughout!
I can't believe how good this music is lol...
This is so far my absolute favorite of any NES music.
Scott Vogler Ever played Journey to Silius? Personally that title has my favorite NES soundtrack of all time.

+Warffles I'll look into it. There's seriously just something about this OST though. It's not just NES music..there's something truly special about it.
"Got to give the Batman punishment"
" I'm Batman "
+rodrigo mendonca "Boring as shit. Next Game"
"I'm batmaaan*
Oh Look at that! Chainsaw to the dick!
"Oh, the bat dance! (wiggling his hands)"
Batman Forever! It sucked back then, and it sucks forever!
IM BATMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
at the end, when I was able to finish each time the game, I played only for the musics ... just great. GREAT.
If everybody played NES games for the music, much more NES soundtracks would be well known :P
***** what? you can play nes games for something else?
***** Hi wiiguy, i dont know if u have the chance to play this game, since soccer is no big deal in america(im assuming thats where you are from) but i believe the Captain Tsubasa series (especially the first one) deserves your attention, and i hope your work aswell :3
heres a sample watch?v=h_C5UTWUXXk&list=PL06672DAF503CEEB9
thanks
lindo222222 OMG....tsubasa series is one of a kind in the NES...
Very true, NES music was actually a replayability factor! When does that happen nowadays?
Best Batman Game Ever.
For sure
One of the best NES games ever and some of the best NES music (possibly THE best NES music) ever...
Need I say more?
It's my favorite NES soundtrack of all time.
:)
***** It's certainly one of the best. I'll have to think if I can pick a favorite out of all the NES games myself...
Cool.
I never own that game.
Have you played it, though? If not, you probably could in an emulator.
This game was so hard but so satisfying when you finally beat Joker.
***** What annoys me the most that I remember while playing this back in I think 1990s was those jumping wolverine type enemies on the toxic sewer stage. I hate them so much I almost threw my famicom controller to the TV out of frustration...hehe
I was only 11-12 years old when I completed this game. Yes It was a hard game.
Being hard isn't a bad thing as long as the game is good.
That very first track, the title screen music, that pause....the amount of times I reset my NES thinking the game had crashed! lol
So, I wasn't the only one that thought this, lol.
strifey07 Lol same. I have an old copy, and kept thinking the intro music was the game crashing, so I was constantly resetting it, lol.
Andres Ulloa lol!! Dude, I freaked out
X2
that game over song is sick man.
one of the few companies that actually put effort into a game over music. Which means they KNEW you'd die multiple times, but still find the music appealing.
That prologue theme is such a banger.
My heart goes wild... EPIC 'till thrill ! Am I the only one who voluntarily lost out to hear the game over theme?
While I suck horribly at this game, I freaking love this soundtrack. Sunsoft's games had incredible music!
I was able to beat the game, but never was able to played some of the music on a keyboard :/
No hay nada mejor que terminar de ver la película de Batman y escuchar este soundtrack clásico 😺
Best Batman game ever
Yes
Wow, james rolfe was right. The dark knight did get better treatment than Superman when it came to video games. This music rocks
Those drums tho!!!!
Probably some of the best DPCM drums on the NES.
How does this not have more views? It's the absolute best video game music ever made. (I'm not a fan of batman or super heroes in general. This game was good, but the music is mind blowing.)
The percussion line in this soundtrack is top notch
What an absolute MASTERPIECE.
👍
I just want to commend you on how excellent and handy these ost posts are. I do vgm covers and have utilized your wide array of posts and links on multiple occasions. Thank you for this very solid and reliable resource.
I miss SUNSOFT so much, they always had such High quality in their music
i miss sunsoft
ye i want them to make a blaster master remaster, not a remake.
i want them to make nes games and kick ass music

I've beaten it 200 times and I'm really starting to become Batman.

Kurt Gembolis its no joke.
Kurt Gembolis I hate people who doubt me.
***** I hate people who hate people who doubt them

Of course, you're welcome ;3
January 2023 and im here still rocking to this lol love it
my absolute favorite NES OST. This thing was absolutely genius
This honestly has like some of the best pixel art in any game, its up with like super metroid in NES era.
It was a late release
Grande jogo. Até hoje eu me lembro dos anos 80 a noite eu jogando essa maravilha que só fui zerar 20 anos depois
Jogo muito difícil mas muito bem feito! Poderiam fazer um Remake!
1st stage music is my favourite! So awesome!!! High concentrated pure awesomeness!!!
Eu joguei na fita! ERA ÉPICO!
How can you put a thumbs down to a soundtrack like that with this quality...!?! Haters gonna hate !
One of my all-time favorite NES titles AND soundtracks. Probably the only truly great movie license game ever. This game was simple in its gameplay and design, but it was quality from start to finish. No WTF moments, and not hard for the sake of being hard. This game and Blaster Master made me love SunSoft's stuff.
"Probably the only truly great movie license game ever"? That couldn't be further from the truth.
Dude !! These are just amazing. Well.done....well done !
Thank you so much! :)
+WiiGuy's 8BitStereo did you make these sounds?
+Guts Berserker do you not read??? look at the screen
it's from batman on the NES. and it even says who the composer is!
Mike Werley o my bad. Then why are we saying "well done" for uploading someone else creative content?
Guts Berserker well that guy is clearly confused.
Brings back so many childhood memories
1:25, one of the greatest sounds of my childhood. ^^
I literally grew up with this game (both from '89.) Love it. I still have my original cart but I was lucky enough to pick up a CIB copy as well a few weeks ago. One of the few games I liked seeing the Game Over screen. That music is too good.

oh MG! Thanks to upload this awesome musics, lot of memories, lots of afternoon spent to finish
1:24 Oh man, that sweet childhood gaming nostalgia :)
I love the game that I got 2 days ago and I love the music just like the movie I love so much.
Playing the new batman while playing this= awesome mode lol
o_0 I never thought about it! I have to try it!
i jam to this soundtrack in my car when i arrive to work and wait in my car before i can punch in lol why was sunsoft music so kicked ass
this sounds like glory
thank you! man for this and your others videos like this
The good ol' Sunsoft, criminally underrated developer until this day, along Natsume
Underrated? Everyone knows about Sunsoft. rofl
Not the last 2 or 3 gaming generations...
thanks man !!!
you are the best
It's my #1 favorite NES game EVER! and It's based on my favorite movie of all time. :)
thank you very much for all of your efforts, you're making my evening!
Stage 1&5 is eargasm
One of the best 8 bit soundtracks ever!
Badass soundtrack of a badass game!!!
Great soundtrack.....Life Force and Duck Tales were great too. I never did finish this game.
No other game music had the unique elegance that the NES had. It’s distinct tones are identifiable immediately. In my opinion, they are by far the best in retro gaming. Compare this with the Sega Master System music. Not even close.
Stage 4-Laboratory Ruins is one of the best examples, although this entire soundtrack is astounding
Started my first ever Batman game experince with this NES series.. Now ive come to Arkham Knight 2018. Give me a Hell Yeah Baby!!!
Subscribed! I will need this for the nights I'm burning the midnight oil while in grad school.
brings back so many memory wow crazy never got to pass this game but was really good
Only the music from castlevania could compete!!
/watch?v=6A2wcOmsYBM
OMFG... THIS IS REAL MUSIC¡¡¡ 😲😲😲 💪💪💪 🤘🤘🤘
Couldn't agree more. I even spent more time playing Festers Quest that I normally would have just because of the soundtrack.
One of the best old school console retro tracks ever! Thankyou very much wii guy for sharing this with us all.
Man.. (sigh) The Nostalgia.. I used to press reset all the time to listen to the Prologue.. such compositions over 16 bits.. baffling yet quality..
Gotta love stage 2.
My favorite 8 bit soundtrack EVER
that Game Over theme Rocked probably the best Game Over I ever heard in VGM history.
Stage 4 & Game Over = best ever.
not many people put effort into Game Over music. This one has a very meaningful, and powerful theme to fit the "now, try harder"
The beginning of Stage 4 sounds like Castlevania for whatever reason. :P
Agree with you man. I played this game before 15 years BUT ... sometime I just start the game (yes I have my NES xD) just for the Game Over song. I will remember this song forever xD
Brutallize
I think Prologue is actually pretty damn good too.
HornedDemoN mhm
Streets of Desolation. Fuck yeah!
Epic soundtrack to a epic Game.
Amazing game and soundtrack, one of the best NES releases IMHO
Hey Wiiguy, THANK YOU for giving out DL links for this stuff. I had this blasting in the car today, certainly kept the journey fun! :D
You're welcome! If you'd like, consider getting the new download link I've put, I have taken the time to update all soundtracks of current (and future) download links to have less "reverby" version of the videos here, it's still clear and crisp and has that echo/reverb, but isn't as prevalent, which I think makes it the best versions yet.
One of my good friends made a really sick hip hop beat out of the game over track in like 07. Every time I hear that music his beat comes right on in my head.
Laboratory Ruins is just amazing, but this entire soundtrack is just incredible. One of the best NES soundtracks ever made.
thanks men,favourite music of my childhood
Thanks dude. Especially for this game and the Ninja Gaidens. I'm gonna blow the dust out my cartridges now and play.
HIT ME WITH THAT SWEET, SWEET LABORATORY RUINS.
Let me commend you on a spectacular job in properly separating and making AMAZING stereophonic versions of these excellent soundtracks! Batman HAS to be my favorite 8-bit soundtrack of all time! Thank you for all your long suffering and hard work! Well done!
Haha, thanks, ain't nothin' but a thing I love to do! :)
