Batman Part 1 - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- In this part one of two special, the Nerd dons his cowl and cape and prepares to beat back the darkness of bad video games, as he looks over a series of games based upon the dark knight himself, Batman, that were made for the Commodore 64, NES, Sega CD, Atari Lynx, SNES, Game Boy, and Genesis. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 52.
James dresses up like Batman and reviews several video games based on the famous caped crusader of comic book and movie fame. The first game he reviews in this episode is "Batman: The Caped Crusader" for the Commodore 64, a redundant game with comic book style graphics that was published by Ocean Software in 1988. Next, he reviews the classic, stylish, addicting NES game "Batman" made by Sunsoft; "Batman Returns" for the SNES, Sega CD and Atari Lynx consoles based on the 1992 Tim Burton film of the same name; "The Adventures of Batman and Robin" based on the cartoon Batman: The Animated Series which aired on Fox from 1992 to 1995; and finally the atrocious and befuddling SNES game "Batman Forever" based on the 1995 Joel Schumacher film Batman Forever. At the end of the episode, Batman's arch-nemesis, the Joker, makes an unwanted appearance and ties the nerd up. Check out part two for the conclusion!

#AngryVideoGameNerd #AVGN #AVGN52 #Batman
What makes the Batman Forever rant one of my favorites is how angry he genuinely sounds when trying to figure out the controls, its the pure essence of his character, and what helps emphasize his points of frustration is the music playing in the background. Whether planned or not, the horror tone of the music makes his rant sound dangerous like he’ll explode in a blood splash of rage if he gets anymore pissed. A true masterpiece!
2010 AVGN was quality work, nothing was unintentional
I love these episodes....
Acted Genuine Rage is always better than Acted Rage though
Agree totally on all replies and the post here. That's the reason why this and silver surfer are 2 of my favorite episodes... you can tell for sure he's actually mad. Love the batman forever control rant!
I don’t think that was an AVGN rant. I think that was a James rant
Why did they program the jump button UP?
The grappling hook rant felt pretty damn real. Like, he was GENUINELY pissed. And it's all the more funny~
I mean sure, I like the moderness of the newer episodes, but I like the genuine rage of the older ones. I just wish he would sound this pissed again.
We rented this game when I was a kid. We spent hours but never figured out how to get past that part. I share his frustration...
Yeah, like in the Silver Surfer episode. He barely starts talking at the beggining and already pulls "HE LOOKS SO STUPID".
That is the single greatest part. I lose my shit every time. Good stuff.
Jesse GD I have this game and OMG it is God awful. He completely got it right.
The Batman Forever rant is still one of my favorite AVGN moments.
Up should never be jump
HE SAID THE THING
I don't see what's wrong with up being jump, as long as its programmed properly, maybe its just because I play fighting games
ooo ooo ooo
Never said wiser words
yep
That loud rant about the "Up" and "Select was hysterical.
VertexHero Not to mention how to jump down.....
THAT'S A GOOD REASON WHY THE JUMP BUTTON, SHOULD NOT BE UP!!! WHY CAN'T IT BE ONE OF THE FUCKING BUTTONS?!?!?!
Having the Fucking up button jump is Fucking FUCKED UP!
He doesn't get as angry anymore, he needs to get angry like that again in his latest videos, it is hysterical, his early days as the Nerd were the best. Can't believe this was 10 years ago now !!
IF THIS AIMED YOUR GRAPPLING HOOK AND THIS JUMPED THEN IT WOULD BE FINE BUT NO THEY GOTTA BE THE SAME BUTTON!!!!!!!!!
9:39
That rant is still one of the funniest AVGN moments. He sounds like he is genuinely pissed off lmao.
id hate to be his fam when he's recording an episode
My rant over Re-Zero in a nutchell.
The Nerd at his absolute best
@@ellnats You do realize that James is playing a character? James in real life is actually like a super nice guy
@@cloudshines812 -when he's recording an episode- read.
"Now I gotta give it the Batman punishment...... I'm Batman." I absolutely love that part. It's so minimal and perfect for the overall video. He truly is a legend.
pafp
The "Batman Forever"-part has to be one of the best AVGN-moments in history!
and it found a way into many of his top 10 worst lists
His most angry by far.
every part is the best part
BA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA BA DA YAH AH DAH YAH
BATMAN FOREVER, IT SUCKED BACKED THEN AND IT SUCKS FOREVER
Wow, there was a lot of action in this video.
Oh, it's episode 52.
Hmm...
Chris ... *grin*
Chris BEAUTIFUL, 10 OUTTA 10, WOULD ACTION 52 never again. That game is a load of crap. However, good eyes! I never noticed it.
Chris I see what you did there...
+Chris Action 52.
+Chris Hmm indeed! lol
I feel like when ranting about Batman Forever, we weren't listening to the Nerd ranting....we were listening to James Rolfe screaming out his frustrations.
Probably one of the only episodes where we see the nerd at his angriest.
Watch his Bill & Ted Episode
The Bugs Bunny one is where he goes the most ape.
Also, Rob The Robot and Mario 3 he looses his top too.
I loved it & when this came out I prayed he would do that one because i had that when i was like 10 & used to play it with my buddy and wed be so fuckinf confused & laughed at the “please wait”’sign...hahah
Or Hold On rather *
E1ite Yoshi it’s probably becouse he’s playing shit games
The Batman Forever bit is one of my favorite parts of any AVGN episode! I think what puts it over the edge aside from the Nerd's inflection is that the music from the game really does sound like it's subconsciously adding to his rage.
Yes, this is my favourite avgn episode
Why can I never just watch one episode of avgn... I always try to watch one but then I will watch like 10 more... so it begins ._.
That's so true! These videos are addicting.
MrCheesyBaconBits I'm in the same boat I watch one and then like magic I'm on my twentieth
i'm doing it now infact.
TurtleBurger just like me
So true, man
"THIS IS FUCKED BEYOND BELIEF!!!" one of my favorite AVGN lines! XD
- You are awful, Nerd.
- Awful? How am I awful?
- Playing my Video Games... Invited me to your show...
"You just wanted to make fun of me."
How about another shitty game, Nerd?
"He couldn't beat the final boss to save his lives."
6:19 This sentence alone and the way he pronounces it defines AVGN when he was at his best.
619
Smug Anime Girl *THIS FUCKFEST IS*
Æss
He's still at his best
@@channel5980 His cursing kinda lost its touch. It almost felt like his rage was real with all these games from his childhood. Nowadays he's just trying to be funny and probably just does it for the clicks.
Whenever I feel depressed, I come back and rewatch these episodes (especially this one)
The sad part is the amount of times I come back watching these because of the depression
I come back to this episode when I am utterly pissed. Seeing james angry helps me cool off for some reason
nerd probably feels more than depressed
The way he throws the disc at 4:08 cracks me up every time. So perfectly done.
For me it was the face he was making when he threw it.
@@TheScribe1.0Yeah, He Was Like 😲
2:37 The rarest of gems: a genuinely good movie-based game for the old NES. Perhaps Nintendo should've had Sunsoft produce all their movie-licenced games instead of LJN.
Well, sunsoft did fuck up fester's quest, so....yeah.
doctor fienstone But the music for Fester's Quest is still addicting. So technically, they didn't entirely fuck up Fester's Quest.
The music for gremlins 2 (also sunsoft) was also really addicting but man, what a hard game. Blaster master had awesome music too.
That could have saved many lives
It's amazing that Mike is so dull when he's himself. But he entertaining as hell when he's playing a character role. Also I love his version of the joker. Classic Romero.
Rabid Churro lol he’s not dull he’s a guy’s guy
7:30, i think this is the most rage moment in AVGN history. Hahahahahah!
It is XD
But this is definitely a close second
I think the “WHY ARE THERE NO CONTINUES!?” rage takes the cake
10:36
Still a better Joker than Jared Leto.
Incoherent laughing in the background
Lol, kinda agree with you
"haHaHAaAaAaAAh"
-Jared Leto, 2016
But nah they still make him joker like tf
And not to mention, he has more screentime than Leto did in the entire movie!
Damn he's really angry in this episode.
NightNinja well he called the angry video game nerd for nothing
This comment really has some letters
Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie turns 30 years old this year (1989-2019)
It's as old as I am.
Still a better Joker than Jared Leto.
ikr
YOU TAKE THAT BACK.
+Addison Bortion no
+Tomasz Losinski
I wasn't talking to you
+Addison Bortion no
That face he makes at 10:02 amuses me, because it looks like Bale Batman when he got Scarecrow'd.
7:18 I'm amazed that camera showed your fingerprints so clearly.
Loved this episode, You can really hear the anger in James voice when he reviewed Batman Forever.
My favorite episode in AVGN history
and I've beaten Batman NES 48 times and I'm still gonna beat it 50 times.
Mike does fucking awesome playing as the joker! I want to see Mike play as the joker in every batman movie for now on.
i think he laughs too much.
His acting is a bit cheesey,but still and David Davidson Nobody cares
I love Mike as a character actor, The Joker and the Cowardly Lion are my favourites.
Psycho1343 This man speaks the truth. Joker is supposed to be a crazy psychopath, not a cheesy always laughing buffoon.
Mant111 I think Mike was going for the 60's version of the Joker, back when he was more of a comedic criminal than much of a deranged psycopath... that's how it felt to me, anyway. But, you're both right; it feels weird and out of place considering how we know the character today.
This might be my favorite episode because he seems genuinely furious or he's acting brilliantly. It's the peak of what ANGRY Video Game Nerd is about.
RIP Kevin Conroy
Who's Kevin conroy
@@NoelCo-yd1gu you don't know who Kevin Conroy is!?
"WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO KILL PEOPLE!"
-Serial Killer ( 2010 )
Batman never kills.
"I'm Batmaaaaan" lol
I know right:) Absolutely hilarious, James tough talking the video game cartridges
I'd love to see them make a whole movie based off the Batnerd lol That'd be pretty cool.
+Don Scott Batmhhhaaaahhhhnnnnn*
+PrinceMarcus William (throws floppy disk )
2:36 Most epic batman shot ever!
One of the best episodes in the series.
Wow, I don't know which is worse: The Batman and Robin movie or the Batman Forever game adaptation.
This aired in 2008, the same year my wife and I got married. 15 years almost later (October 2008), still going strong with our marriage and still enjoying AVGN.
That was the same year I was born but In November
When he's yelling about the grappling hook, he began channeling his inner Michael Jones.
Watching this in preparation of Arkham Knight.
williamssekai Asylum=got stuck like a half an hour in. City=Good graphics, sound effects top notch, good story (for a Batman game).
Origins=Meh, it was alright, but I still prefer city.
williamssekai I literally cannot express how excited I am.
williamssekai Can't wait!
Same
Watching to wait for the update. Damn modern games
Mike as the joker is Amazing.
"This game is triceratops testicles!" 😂😂😂
Vote Mike for Suicide Squad's joker.
Mike seems like would pay great homage to the Ceaser Romeo Joker
Holy smokes Batman, That Joker is so good!
I think Mike had waaay too much fun playing Joker.
my favorite avgn episode, he really goes all out on batman forever
+hussambu Rightfully so. That game fucking blows!
hussambu Which I find hilarious and also amusing because I enjoy that game.
His rant on Batman Forever is entirely justified. Fully validated my anger back in the 90s
My uncle bought me Batman Forever way back in the day and I totally relived my frustrations watching your video. New fan but big fan. Great entertainment.
Way back in the day? Dude that was 20 years ago, not that old. Cyborg is almost 40. Now that's way back in the day.
@@unwelldanny7108 20 years ago is way back in the day...
Every day is back in the day for somebody some day.
8:57 best quote ever
7:23 I love it how mad he. Gets it so funny
6:14 For fighting games, up on the D-pad for jumping is acceptable (and preferable) since those games tend to be one screen and you fight on level ground, so there's no practical need to move up without jumping. It has the added advantage of freeing up a button for another attack move.
But for a platformer, as the Nerd points out, up on the D-pad can cover climbing and aiming upward, so to make it the jump function requires all sorts of weird things like "select+up" to shoot the grapple, etc.
They really should have found another game engine for Batman Forever.
" To be honest I've never made it past these driving stages. They just go on and on and on."
Everyone's opinion on Arkham Knight.
Shots fired, couldn't agree more
Though
Played Arkham Knight to 240% and can say it sucks less the second time. It actually is more fun the second time around.
I don't think it's that bad, I just hate how many tank bosses there are. Rest of the game is fantastic and if you don't use the batmobile to travel around Gotham you don't see it that much.
Git gud
+Zeo 240%?
Last time I've seen this episode I was about 15 or 16. Now I'm 20, and the chainsaw to the dick part made me laugh as hard as ever.
Hahaha. I feel it same way :-D
At least he didn’t play Batman: Dark Tomorrow. Now THATS a bad game
Too bad. I'd love to see his reaction to Batman's death grunt.
"Uuuugh!"
or batman and robin PS1
where is my medal? i finished batman to the nes
Juan ryu I don't have any medals. But I can give you a high five. And a cookie. A delicious zero-calorie internet cookie.
FirestarJ ha ha ha||
+Juan ryu (°•\)
here it is
+Juan ryu I don't have a medal, but I can give you the d....
SalmonAniminim ¿d?
2:00 James remember Batman does not kill
Play LEGO Batman if you want to see the Dark Knight knocking people and things down to pieces.
The controls are so cryptic because Batman is the world's greatest detective 😋
mike's joker is best joker.
Don't forget about Mike as Bugs Bunny and the Cowardly Lion
The nerd really lost his mind in both of these episodes.
The most classic of all rants is in this episode.
This is one of my favorite episodes, the thumbnail has me rolling 😂
I was just laughing my ass off the whole time he was talking about Batman Forever xD
Anyone else's favorite part "this game is triceratops testacles!!!" ?
mine. lmao
My reaction to Minecraft
+Smelly Smell Thank you. Minecraft is garbage. So dull. I'd like to see some pussy Minecraft kid step up to Megaman Zero.
Mine is when he said: "I'd rather have a diarrhea dog take a lava dump all over the screen!"
me
2:05 this image is going to haunt my dreams. 😂
That would be cool to see Batman rip someone's spinal cord out in a Batman game!
They could have done that in Mortal Kombat Vs DC.
Yes, because Batman would do that,
Well its basically a detective version of MORTAL COMBAT with batmantextures so its not of
***** That whole thing is kinda hilarious in hindsight considering the creators of the Mortal Kombat reboot went on to make Injustice: Gods Among Us, a DC universe fighting game.
I wish he reviewed the Genesis version of The Adventures of Batman and Robin. That game is impossible. (great music though)
That game was tough but I eventually beat it. Best way to do it is get the maxed out bola weapon. Does massive damage to bosses.
I recall one with digitised grapics. Near the beginning there's this message going "credit is given where credit is due" or the like. It was a rental, and I was never able to make any progress whatsoever for some odd reason. Try as I might, it confounded me to no end!
My neighbor had that one.
Ironic how Batman Forever was an ok movie and an awful game while Batman & Robin was an ok game and an awful movie.
6:06 LOL it looks like the Nerd is attacking batman with a NES controller as he's so pissed of being in such a shitty game. PRICELESS!
Sorry for that. Let me end this. Basically my mind was going up and down through a very non fluent type of communication where I would type correctly with great effort and then type nonsense the next. So basically i had enough strength put in to type one paragraph really good, and then completely lose it and fuck up the rest. It's not going to be understood, but i was kinda not right in the head.
Dude that was great! "You want to play a really shitty game Batman!"
"How bout Return of The Joker on the Nintendo Entertainment System Batman?"
"Yeah but I'm not really Batman though."
"Batman, your Batman! I'm Batman!"
"Hey Batman!"
"I'm not playing anymore shitty batman games."
The 10-15 seconds after 4:35 is my favorite AVGN moment.
We all just come here every once in a while to watch the batman forever rant.
And yes you aren’t wrong to.
The nerd's rage over Batman Forever's gameplay and controls is one of my favorite AVGN moments
The Dark Knight has been treated very well in Modern Day, ESPECIALLY with the Arkham Games.
At 10:05 The Nerd goes batshit insane
Avgn at 10:15 reminds me of hulk hogan from gremlins 2
wow he really got pissed off
This was released exactly 10 years ago today.
How time flies by....
really should've let Ljn make the nes batman
said no one ever?
+xj0462 Good Xj good take his bait muhahaha
***** ?
LJN: The Laughing Joker of NIntendo
In a way it did kind of happen since ljn was subsidiary of Akklaim and batman forever was made by the ladder company.
5:10
I remember trying that game at a cousin's house when I was little and and getting stuck on that part.
I think Batman Forever is one of the game he gets the most pissed at, like jeez. The entire time he talks about it he's practically yelling.
*That's why I love it.*
"HAVIN' THE FUCKIN' UP BUTTON JUMP IS FUCKIN" FUCKED UP!!!!!"
The Nerd's incredibly expressive face is second only to that of Jim Carrey.
Didn't expect me to be here HEH HUH HUH?
@@Iamnotaspy. Actually, Jim Carrey auditioned as “The Riddler.”
@adamuzumaki98
No I just replied to this guy because he replied very recently to when I did so when I came back to this video I thought that maybe he wouldn't expect somebody to reply so soon to such an old video.
"all right let's dig into a pile of bat shit"
I believe you mean bat guano
The Batman Forever rant is one of his angriest moments and it kills me.
8:40. Batman Al Bundy.
2:45 "There do exist good Batman games."
Seems so obvious nowadays. When was this video made? 2007 maybe?
This is late but this video is in 2010. And avgn usually reviews old games so he probably just means out of the old games.
Video was originally posted on Game Trailers in 2008. But posted to UA-cam in 2010. Idk why he'd wait to do that.
@@Z-A-Cwron this was 2008 its a hd reupload in 2010
Okaaaaay so
Batman Forever was Mythologies Sub-Zero BEFORE Mythologies Sub-Zero
.-.
that's right 😆
The grapple and drop-down controls were weird, but if you're a huge Mortal Kombat, you love it.
Love the level of rage at 9:38 lol, classic AVGN and with understandable reasons!
Lmao i love how when James says he ain’t playing more Batman games, Mike/Joker immediately snaps from his daze and says “Yes you are” 😂😂😂 gets me every time
1:57 NO KILLING! Batman doesn't kill xD
*_BATMAN NEVER KILLS_* (words shake around)
Unless it's in the Golden Age but whatever that was *_RETCONNED_* (words shake around again)
I’ve watched this episode like 20 times and it never gets old.
I love his phrase "diarrhea dog", like its an actual breed of dog.
3:45 "Eat floor. High fiber."
He didn't even mention gadgets like Smoke Pellet and Cape Morph that require more button combinations :D
5:40 Batman forever looks like a precursor to the infamous Mortal Kombat Mythologies.
7:12 Okay, so the grappling hook commands are a bit unfriendly, but are these tricky commands described in the manual or not?
When ever I think of an episode where the Nerd truelly felt angry this one always pops in my mind. The whole Batman Forever part he seems genuily pissed 🤣.
3:16 you can STAND on the gear so ... i think you can go *TURTLES* on this one... and just walk over it like that infamous gap :I
I would love to see avgn and Michael from rooster teeth's rage quit play a impossible platformer together... lmao
Yet another two-parter. The sketches that endcap the gameplay segments are the best. No other game reviewer can compare as far as execution goes. I can't imagine a suiperior game review series. You've earned your legions of fans, Mr. Rolfe- you are the king of game reviews and I am only a lowly peon. 10/10.
Gee, there's 4 buttons on the front of the controller. *WHAT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TO WORK WITH?!*
*Jim724* no
It is nice to see someone relive that Batman forever nightmare
