Nobody beats Michael Keaton as Batman, unless you're Adam West!...lol
Patman QC is killing it today as always!
Thanks sir!
How nice of you to say LOL thank you
Or Kevin Conroy of Batman the Animated series
@@odizm5196 Nope.
I'm talking about human actors on the big screen.
Just my personal preference.
Keaton and West sucked, that wasn't Batman. I'm sure they were great memories when you watched but realistically they were horrible. 89 Batman was so popular because it had been such a long time since a live action version was on screen. 66 Batman was a parody of the comic book scene. Both could not fight, Keaton's version couldn't even move, and both showed no sign of being a trained detective like the real Batman from the comics. Everyone has such fond memories of them because of how they made them feel. I get it, but no, they were horrible.
@@joetorres9892 Then who would you say is the best Batman? 🤔
For a few years, Disneyland had an arcade that had both the Batman game, and the Taito Superman game. It’s the only time I’ve ever seen either arcade machine in person.
The Superman I saw a lot when I was growing up but never did see the Batman
I saw the Superman one at Chuck-E-Cheese, but I don't remember ever seeing the Batman one.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Same here. There was a waterpark I used to go to when I lived in Portland many years ago that had the Superman arcade game as well as a submarine arcade game with a working periscope too right next to it. I've yet to have seen the Batman arcade game in person but have played the game plenty of times via emulator.
I'm suprised by the Superman one. I saw that quite a bit
Instant like for the best TH-camr ever! Especially considering Batman is the best superhero of all time! Or as it is usually said in the hip-hop world........ The GOAT (The GREATEST OF ALL TIME)
Thanks a lot, I appreciate that
How is a man that anyone could just shoot the best of all time? Probably even dumber than thinking a billionaire is a good person.
like number 41, great video as always, I'm playing on a mame emulator this batman game and is great, I'm from bogota colombia, PatmanQC keep up the amazing videos and in a blink of an eye you will get a million subscribers, you are the true example of how to face and overcome difficulties.
Thanks a lot. You're the first person I spoke to from Columbia so greetings from the United States. Hope you are right about the million subscribers :-) thanks again
I bet this had to be one of your favorite reviews personally and I bet you had a good time making it. Batman is my favorite superhero character so I really enjoy this. I remember this time. And boy everything was Batman. What a Time! 😉 Awesome video thank you Pat!
I loved every minute of it LOL Batman has been my favorite character for a long time so every few years when bat mania takes off it's a glorious time :-) thanks
Hooray!!! Nice and early :) Look forward to your videos with tons of anticipation!!
Thanks a lot, Hope you enjoy!
Gotta say that your review/documentaries are some of the finest anywhere. Always impressed by the depth of your content. Cheers and thanks again!
Excellent, thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed them

This guy makes some of the best videos on TH-cam. Awesome content, thanks for these !
Wow, thanks!
Like all your videos, this is another good one and your channel is very underrated.
That's so nice of you to say, thanks
Thanks for another great video! I really enjoy watching them and I always learn a few things along the way. Cheers!
Thank you so much, I appreciate that
You missed a very unknown detail about the genesis game. When batman holds that block stance he can reflect bullets.
Man, bring me back and leave me there. Batman, Simpsons, and Turtles at the heights of their games, what a time to be alive.
Great video as always! What a time to be alive when that first Batman movie first came out! It was something special and didn’t disappoint. And the Batman NES game is a classic, despite its difficulty.
Thanks, is a lifelong Batman fan 1989 was a fantastic year :-)
Man your videos never fail to make me laugh. Good stuff!! Keep it coming
Thanks a lot my friend :-)
One of the most relaxing channels on TH-cam for me
Happy to hear that!
Batman (1989) is my favorite movie of all time and I love the games too. The NES version is my favorite out of all the games based on the movie. The Genesis version really follows the movie really well.
Yes it does, most of the versions that came out really good although the PC engine version is a bit suspect :-)
Ocean games were always difficult, but their music was always awesome!
Yes they were :-)
0:05 I'm Patman and There Are My Happy Little Game's!!! 🌟I Love You PatmanQC Your Totally Awesome Thanks for the New Episode History of The Batman Video Game's🌟👍👍
Thank you my friend :-) hope you enjoy the video
0:34 Oh Yeah I Didn't Know they're Doing a The Batman Little Caesars Pizza of a Bat Shaped Pizza Only at Little Caesars Pizza PIZZA!! PIZZA!! .
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Your Welcome PatmanQC Happy Valentine's Day My Friend 💘❤️💞
2:13 The First Character of BATMAN Made His First Debut in His Issue of Detective Comics No 27 of THE BATMAN Issue #1 On May 1939 I Love THE BATMAN or BATMAN Because He is The World's Greatest Detective in The DC COMICS UNIVERSE DC UNIVERSE And BATMAN UNIVERSE.
3:39 I Love 1966 BATMAN Starring Adam West Which I love That TV Show Too They Used to Show That on TV Land Part of Nick @ Nite But By it's Own Ways.
Another ringer episode from the greatest guy on TH-cam.
How nice of you to say, thanks
I always loved this game because it had that Ninja Gaiden play style to it that I enjoyed. The score is great in this game also. Great video brotha, thanks for the upload.
The NES game was very good although it doesn't feel like a Batman game which I mentioned. Still a whole lot of fun and brutally hard at some points. Thanks
I come for the gaming history facts. I stay for the dad jokes.
I played the arcade game in Chicago a few years ago but I never understood why an arcade game based on a big movie like this wasn't much more common.
Considering how massive the movie was I don't know why more cabinets weren't made? Perhaps they realized that it wasn't very good? I really don't know
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Yeah... the arcade game's use of stills from the movie makes it look like a middle schooler's Windows Movie Maker presentation.
It would’ve sold more if it was released a year earlier near the time that the movie was released. Instead this was released two years after the fact. Maybe that’s why. The movie was released in 1989, this game didn’t come out until late 1991.
Patman uploaded... I must watch... !
Thanks :-)
I only remember seeing the commercial for the game. Of course I was only able to get other available Bat-Merch at the time.
NES Batman was my favorite as kid :)
Great video Pat, thanks again for the entertainment!!!
Absolutely, thanks so much for watching
Awesome !!!! You still have the best videos on TH-cam !!!!
Wow, thanks!
Bravo Patman!!! I've seen at least 3 reviewers talk about sunsoft's Batman, and none of them have ever known the game was a re-skin.
Thank you a friend
Batman twilight, I'll buy the popcorn. The worlds greatest detective does a TH-cam video game doc about the world's greatest detective. PatmanQC vs batman. This was all random text, and I'm downloading this video to play while I do chores tomorrow. Thank you for the food entertainment sir
Absolutely, I'll check out the new movie as well. I've got my virtual fingers crossed but so far it looks pretty good. Thanks
I loved Batman for the NES!!! One of my favorites and was so much fun to play!
It is so good although it doesn't really feel like a Batman game
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Compared to newer Batman games, I can see that.... But at the time I really didn't care, I just thought it was fun. Plus I really wasn't into Batman that much as a kid so I really wasn't looking at, "Hey, this game isn't like Batman at all...."
I really like the Arcade version, it has a great atmosphere and Batman is super cool. Great video!!
Thanks a lot :-)
Always love the research you do as well as your presentation. Always keeps me coming back every time.
Ba ba booey
LOL, thanks and ba ba booey to you all
people always trashed licensed movie games back when they were around, but boy do i miss 'em. even when they were bad (99% of the time), they were a great complement to the experience of a movie you were really excited about. of course they couldn't make a standard modern game with a big budget and years of development, but if some cheap shovelware based on The Batman or The Flash came out, i'd buy it in a heartbeat.
and i was lucky enough to find the Batman cabinet years after release at a little family restaurant on a road trip in Texas. it was the only game they had, so it felt like destiny.
p.s. using the ABC saturday morning cartoon commercial bumper was perfect!
For me, an *arcade* is rare to find in the wild.
I still have 2 drive in theaters I can go to... but no arcade that I'm aware of within 30 or more miles of where I live. They up and left.
Yes, that's the way it is nowadays
Update: I actually found a few arcades near me... but they are nothing like the ones I used to go to. Just a bunch of big huge machines, some dancing game, a Raving Rabbids VR "rollercoaster", and a bunch of skill cranes.
The only actual video games they had were a Terminator game (I dont think it was T2) and some giant... and I mean GIANT Pacman game. The screen is literally 10 feet tall.
So finding these "arcades" was actually pretty bittersweet... because I found them to be arcades in name ONLY.
Another Fantastic video, wonderful stuff Pat
Thanks a lot :-)
I remember getting a copy of Batman for the Amiga 500 copying it to a yellow disk and spending forever drawing the label
I really enjoyed it back in the day. The music and the driving sections were phenomenal.
Batman the Video Game on the NES is one of my favorite games. I recently played it again and it is still a great game.
It is a definite classic
Thanks for another awesome video, PatmanQC!! Your documentaries are always a treat!! :D
Glad you like them! Thank you so much
I love Batman but as someone who grew up in the 80's, I'm definitely suffering from Batman fatigue. When's the last time a new superhero was created that had extreme success? Are we destined to just continue recycling the same ones created in around a 40 year span for the rest of time?
There hasn't been a new/original superhero created in 30 years that has stuck.
@@eskanda3434 I dunno. Spawn was pretty cool when he first came out.
@@Dorelaxen Which was... 30 years ago.
The only reason Batman keeps getting so many movies and reboots is because the character is so popular. We have had other superheroes pop up that were massive like the avengers, Spider-Man, etc.
And poor old Swamp Thing got a PG movie with a hot ladies boobs in the 80s before Burton Batman
Hulu's got a great documentary called BATMAN & BILL that's all about the fight to give Bill Finger the credit he now gets. It's one of the happiest of endings you'll ever watch.
I have seen it multiple times in its fantastic
Ocean's game for the Amiga was the one I had growing up. To this day I still laugh at the placement of his grappling hook, and his 30 ft bat-wang you can use to slap both the game's bosses.
LOL
There was also a Batman LCD wristwatch game. I had that and the Commodore 64 one.
I never had the wristwatch but I did have the handheld
great video, never played the arcade, but did go to see the movie. one of my favorites.
Thank you so much
Ok, was not expecting that random Bruce Forsyth picture in there 🤣
I had fun with the NES version, but Joker was something else. Like you I played the arcade version on MAME as well.
The Joker was terribly hard on the NES LOL
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries at that time had to cheat to beat him
Fun Fact about the Mega Drive version. The game was completely in English because Sunsoft had every intention to release it in Na. They had to sue Nintendo of America to get the contract rescinded. In JP, there are no deals like what was in NA which is why the game was able to be released there without issue. Once Nintendo was take to court, they decided to change the conditions of their contracts to allow for competitive releases by the same publishers on other platforms. And immediately after that judgement was in favor of the publishers (Sunsoft and others) the game was repackaged into a Genesis cart/case and sold right away.
I bought the JP Mega Drive version because it was stated the game was not allowed to come to NA... then it did the following year. My copy still is in my collection.
I knew about the system exclusivity which is why I bought the Japanese version of the game as well. Thanks for the info
Holy great documentary, BPatman! I never even heard of the Atari coin op game before. You'd think it would have been everywhere in 1990.
I know, it's amazing considering how huge the movie was that it was more widespread. I went to a a lot of arcades and never did run across it
Batman the arcade game is at the galloping ghost arcade in Brookfield il right outside of Chicago. They also have the superman and Spiderman arcade games.
Never have made it up there yet but I will at some point. Thanks
30:20 Was really not expecting to see Bruce Forsyth in one of your videos 😂
LOL, thank you
In the eighties I watched reruns of the 1960s Batman TV series, and I loved it. The casting was excellent, not only for Batman and Robin but also for the Joker, the Penguin, Catwoman, and the Riddler. Mr Freeze was portrayed by a different actor in each of his three outings, but they all did a good job.
I agree, I can't imagine any other actor was for any of the roles in the TV show. There were just perfect
The arcade game was pretty cool. I remember when I first saw one in a water park arcade - OUT OF ORDER! I think this upset me more than if I had never been able to find it at all, like you. However, I was lucky enough to find a working game at a locally owned pizza parlor just out of town. I made a few special trips here to eat pizza and play Batman! Sadly it shut down not long after.
Ironically, I just ate the Batman Calzony from Little Caesars HAHA!!
LOL, haven't had the chance to try it yet but I plan on it
WCMB represent! Great video. Gonna track down the arcade version. ✌️
Thanks a lot :-)
Tiger also produced a Batman LCD watch game. I still have mine. It's exactly what you'd expect of a Tiger watch game.
I never had the watch but I did have The handheld
Sunsoft games had a certain sound to them. You can tell it's a Sunsoft game by the music alone.
I think it's due to the fact that they use the same composer but I could be mistaken
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Some developers had their own custom sound drivers too.
I've encountered the Batman arcade machine a few times at Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire. Never played it personally, but I have played on emulation. Truth be told, I'd never heard of such a machine existing until I encountered it.
That “after these messages” jingle hit me in here...
You and me both my friend
I got to play the arcade game at various locations from 10 to my teen years at Circus circus Vegas, Golf and stuff etc. 11 yr old self when i got the Genesis game, i thought it was the arcade game.
Genesis version was really good though. Always wanted to go to circus circus but never had the chance
I’m partial to Batman returns but I sure that will be later, same bat time same bat channel. Thanks for a great video.
I already did a two hour video on the games of Batman returns. Thanks
If you’re ever in Chicago, swing by Galloping Ghost in Brookfield. They have the arcade and pinball - played both last week.
It's on my to do list, thanks
Fun fact: Lewis Wilson was the father of Michael G. Wilson, the current co-producer of the James Bond films.
Interesting, I did not know that. Thanks
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries You're Welcome !
Wow those PC Engine cut scenes are beautiful. Love the nes cutscene music pc engine rendition
They are fantastic which is why I had to include them :-)
Well now I know where some of SegalordX's music choices come from.
I think that Batman arcade game would have been WAY better if it had been made by Taito on the Taito B System hardware with a Zuntata rendition of the Danny Elfman Batman theme with similar gameplay to Crime City.
I agree, crime city was a lot of fun
Aww, you just made this so you could make the Patman pun, DIDN'T YA?
LOL, I've been found out :-)
The boss music in this game (12:17 for example) is very similar to the boss music in the TMNT game on Nintendo.
I'm so glad I clicked on this video.
The NES and Genesis Batman games are two of my favorites of all time. My local arcade at the mall also had the Batman arcade cab. As a kid I thought the game was just ok, not amazing like the genesis game. It also drove me nuts that the music in the sunsoft game was so good and the music in the Batman Returns for the genesis sounded like digitized screaming nightmares.
LOL
23:05 - I could listen to this tune all day!
You and me both :-)
That Sunsoft game was one of the best on the NES. It has tremendous atmosphere and while it's very hard, the controls are tight. I never could make it through the cathedral stage.
I rented it and beat it one weekend but it took a lot of playtime to do so. The game is fantastic
I truly enjoyed the NES version. The graphics, the gameplay, and definitely the music. Never needed to use my weapons much. I mostly was able to punch my enemies and still managed to finish it.
Excellent. It really is fantastic
Got the thousandth like! You earned it, Patman!
Thanks a lot! I appreciate that
That music is so good. Kinda reminds me of Shatterhand
It is really good
Very much enjoyed that retro trip 🦇
Glad you enjoyed it
That Little Caesers Calzone makes me rethink Little Caesers.
I haven't tried it yet but I plan on it
Even Batman will no doubt try the Little Caesar's Cowlzone Batman Pizza. ;) Cool history of Batman, thanks! Having played all of the Batman games now, my favorites are the Super NES Brawler Batman Returns game, and the Batman 89 Movie Arcade Batman game with the weird cape look.
Thanks. I haven't tried the calzone yet but I plan on it
Best Batman movie. I really liked the NES game as a kid but never had it. Apparently my Aunt was going to buy it for me but was told it was too difficult so she got me Fester’s Quest instead…. Played the Genesis game well after the fact in 1994 or so. I wanted to track a copy down but it was long out of print.
I'm watching this with my Batman Calzony. This is going to be a good one.
Excellent, hope you enjoyed it
Love the videos!
Thank you
Arcade Games were the Bomb back then, aside with T2 and various Pinball machines, good memories
I agree 100%
I remember when Batman and Batman Returns first came out and it was so Amazing.... I absolutely love the Michael Keaton films ❤️.... And Bill Murray is one of my favorite actors of all time.... but I don't think him portraying Batman would have worked out all that well.... So I'm glad we missed out on that one too......😅.... I remember renting the Nintendo SunSoft Game watching my brother play it till he beat it.... Among lots of others.... If it was made in the '80s and early '90s I can guarantee you I played it....
Sounds like we are about the same age :-)
Great video as always.
I appreciate that, Thanks
10:58 I had no idea these were actually Batman villains. I thought they were random thugs and ninjas.
When I first started playing the game back in the day I did as well until I read the manual. A lot of those villains were really obscure and didn't translate well into the eight bit format
The Sunsoft Batman game on the NES has a special place in my heart, even if I was never able to finish it back in the day. I received my copy for free from Sunsoft a couple of weeks before it's original release in exchange for my detailed thoughts on the game. I had previously purchased Blaster Master and Fester's Quest shortly after they were released and had sent mail to Sunsoft for each of those games. Sadly I didn't receive any other games or correspondence from Sunsoft. Also, the cartridge I received was a final retail one. I even compared it to a friend's cartridge which had been purchased several months later and there were no differences that we could see.
That is very cool, those gains were not cheap especially back in the day
Alfred : Master Bruce, what happened? Your Batman suit is rainbow coloured.
Batman : (irritable) The Joker set a paint-bomb trap and I walked right into it. I tried to clean it, but it just won't wash off. I'll need a new suit.
LOL
The developers were very inclusive. 😁
I never knew Sunsoft snagged the Batman license in '87 - interesting. Arcade version has some interesting info as well. Even though it shows a copyright of '90; US arcades did not get it till summer of '91 and supposedly 500 kits to the US and 500 to European distributors. I wonder if this hold up was due to Nicholson's likeness (which I never knew about)? One of the developers was interviewed about this game. It basically was a rush job (6 weeks) once Atari acquired the license; Konami was another one that was in the bidding war. Some stuff was cut. There was a aerial level with Batman and his cape that was nixed. Noticed how the game is very buggy was well. I'm pretty sure Atari was done with this game at this point, hence the limited distribution.
I did not know that about the six weeks rush job. It makes sense. I would love tto read all about that, do you have a link? Thanks
This video made me realize that I haven't seen the movie in many years. Maybe it's time to dust off that old VHS :)
I agree, it's a classic
Glad I still have both the NES and Game Boy versions
I love how all the games have Batman throw him off a building . Joker fell from a helicopter ladder
In the Amiga version he falls from the helicopter ladder.
I think this was an early script they were working off when Batman throws him off the roof. The only version where it's not like that is the home computer versions for he is climbing up a ladder
Great video!.
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks again
Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy?! That is truly hilarious 🤣
I know, I don't know what the heck they were thinking
No Disrespect to Sunsoft, But it Would have been Awesome if Konami got a hold of the Batman Franchise & Produced a Batman Game in the Same Vein as Batman Returns.
I agree
The Amiga game all the way, what a game. I do own both games but Batman The Movie was incredible back in the day.
It sure was, I was blown away by both the graphics and the sounds
Great work Sir thank you
Most welcome, Thanks
I remember an interview Jack Nicholson gave that he was mad he wasnt asked to do The Joker in TDK. Like what, he wouldve asked half the films budget
I don't recall that, LOL
Batman movie 1989 still kick ass a lot I play the nes version, game boy version, and the Sega genesis version. 😀👍🎮
They are all really good
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries yes they are good. 😀👍🎮
The amega one takes me back took me a year to complete it
It was so good, especially back in the day
I remember the PC engine version! It was so different I really wanted it!!!
It wasn't very fun to play but to me it was worth it just for the cut scenes
The NES game from Sunsoft is one of the greatest games ever made!
Awesome video buddy
Thanks 👍
