I'm pretty sure Batman 89 killed as many or more henchmen than Batfleck did in BVS but for some reason that couple guys who get killed in the car chase are martyrs compared to the one who got thrown off the clock tower.
@Leonardo Vargas And no one ever mention the possible damage to the environment that must be done when blowing up a freaking chemical plant. I guess we know why there is a big thick layer of cloud at all time for the bat signal to shine on. lol
Please bring this series back. These are the most relaxing and enjoyable vids. It's not often you find a series that really feels like sitting around with your buddies playing clasic games!
That's a pretty good idea! But I think Mr. Rolfe and Mr. Matei should actually try to get Christopher Lloyd and play Addams Family: Fester's Quest! That would be awesome and so surreal! 🤘😃
They should have but they film these pretty far in Advance as far as I've heard. They might not of even realized it till it was too late. I figure that Mike has to own one.
Batman the Movie by Ocean on various computer systems was very close to the movie. Stage 1: Platform through Axis Chemicals chasing down Jack Stage 2: Driving through Gotham avoiding police roadblocks Stage 3: Puzzle stage trying to find antidote to Smyle Stage 4: Flying through Gotham snagging the Joker's poison balloons Stage 5: Platform through Cathedral chasing after the Joker For 1989, it was pretty damn cool.
When James was talking about the "realism" in King Kong, I was reminded of a guy I knew when I was a teenager. He really, really hated all forms of Japanese storytelling, but especially fantasy stuff, and would make complaints like "In Final Fantasy, Cloud wouldn't be able to wield a sword that big in real life, it's so unrealistic" Yeah, but Cloud's a genetically modified super soldier (albeit a failed one) who can leap twenty stories into the air unaided I think that's a smidgen more unrealistic than "big sword" myself
I got is and just found it funny that they used the song yet could only say "Genesis does what". As the original song was all about saying how its better than Nintendo. Yet Sega got their asses handed to them in the console wars. So its not like they can brag about what their classic console does compared to Nintendo.
The museum was full of Batman stuff because it’s the 80th anniversary of the character. Just so happens that the Tim Burton film is 30 years old this year too.
This looks very much like the C64 game. I remember once I was waiting for it to load and I was just spamming random stuff on the keyboard. All sorts of things, from "I am Batman" to random gibberish. I managed to activate a cheat mode for infinite lives. I then completed the game in a unexpected playthrough. That cosmetics level was the hardest in the game, so finally getting past that was such a joy.
Tim Burton's Batman came out in the UK on August 11th, 1989. I always remember that date, because everyone was going about with Batman logo T-shirts, with AUGUST 11 under it. The level of hype was insane.
Yeah. James liked games, but most of the idea for the nerd and a lot of the channel's early content was thought up by Mike, but the title CINEMAssacre was James.
Angry Video Game Mike. Mike is definitely the cliche "get mad when playing games". James is a lot more soft spoken and chill about it. It does happen to him as well, but not to the same extent and ease. I'm just now wondering; in what other hobby is it so ingrained people get this frustrated?
I'm gonna be honest I just love Mike Matei. I can so relate to him when it comes to excruciatingly difficult videogames that make you so goddamn mad. I have slapped many a couch cushions and spent probably a small fortune on new game controllers because I wind up throwing mine at walls and destroying them.
"Well, there were dinosaurs, too, so that's unrealistic." Having dinosaurs in our modern world doesn't magically change aerodynamics and atmospheric effects. This is the lowest tier comeback to a complaint about unrealistic things. "OH, Herschel had infinite ammo? WELL THERE'S ZOMBIES, SO THERE!" Yeah, you're right. Because zombies exist, therefore ammo becomes infinite, so long as you type idfa. You got me, everything makes sense now.
I had the Gameboy Batman movie game, which was also made by Sunsoft. It had a similar spinning Batman logo at the beginning, but the Gameboy version basically had Batman shooting pellets/throwing batarangs instead of punching or kicking. There were also some Batwing flight stages that felt like they belonged in a different game.
There's a way to farm batarangs in the cathedral level. With those you can easily kill The Joker by just standing still and throwing them. It takes 11 batarangs to kill him. :)
The commadore Amiga version was great and a big part of my early gaming experience and very closely followed the movie, would love to see you give it a try
I remember seeing Batman at a flea market in early 90s NY called Busy Bee Flea Market. It was the japanese version and came in a small clamshell that just fit the cartridge and the graphics blew my mind. I ended up buying an import of Strider...
It's a decent game, not quite as creative (no wall jump for example) but also not as frustrating as the NES one and I liked the shooter levels. Great music.
Would rather play the NES game until forever than ever have to watch this garbage game for another 5 min. If my introduction to Batman would be through this game, boy would have i hated the entire super hero franchise
There is so much complaints about the DCEU but when I look at it overall it has a lot more good movies to me than the MCU. I enjoyed suicide squad for what it was and Justice League was not any worse to me than Thor The Dark World.
I think you're right about Batman being a lil more popular than usual lately. I know I've been grabbing every 80th Anniversary Batman Funko they're making
i really think nes version is much better. Usally games based on movies arent really good... But nes batman managed to nail it. Actually backgrounds at nes's batman is more dark and moody than Tim Burton's movie. i got no idea who is art director of nes's batman. But he(she) is genious. :) at sega version its looks like batman just walkin at brightest parts of city. There is always a light around him. At nes version one there is no bright paths to walk at night at all.
Played through this one recently and posted up a tutorial. Alot better than I initially thought when I tried it years ago. The NES one still blows it away in gameplay and presentation, despite technically worse visuals (prefer the cleaner look of the NES game), but its cool to get another unique batman game by sunsoft during that era. The soundtrack is top notch and there are some driving and shooter style stages to mix things up a little. Definately easier than the NES game as well. Once you learn the few boss patterns its very easy since there is a boss gauntlet later, where the bosses repeat. Theres also a few areas where you can easily farm 1-ups if you want to keep topped off at the max of 9 lives. Limited continues but not hard aside from some slightly tricky platforming at the end. Fun overall game.
Harvey Dent wasn’t originally meant to die, there where plans to use him in the sequel that was why he was pushed off a ledge with death left ambiguous. Until the sequel where they confirmed his death after Nolan went in a different direction.
I like it when Mike dresses like a sports coach.
Ok this one caught me off guard. Lmao
He has a very Russian fashion sense
This made me lol.
Better than a sports couch.
Even James looks like a hiker

What happened to the Angry Nerd James? He seems like a regular guy in these videos :(
*I miss AVGN*
89 batman killed so many of jokers men. And he blew up a chemical plant
I'm pretty sure Batman 89 killed as many or more henchmen than Batfleck did in BVS but for some reason that couple guys who get killed in the car chase are martyrs compared to the one who got thrown off the clock tower.
What are you talking about?! Batman doesnt kill,he never kills,have never killed and will never kill,get real bro!
😜
@Leonardo Vargas And no one ever mention the possible damage to the environment that must be done when blowing up a freaking chemical plant. I guess we know why there is a big thick layer of cloud at all time for the bat signal to shine on. lol
*Those are ROOKIE numbers*

Damnit, Batman, that chemical plant was making all the PCP! Now what am I gonna do?

Darkwing Duck uses a gun and doesn't kill people. "Suck gas, evildoers!"
Lets get dAngerous!
I am the terror that flaps in the night.
Danny De Vito should play Fester in the Fester's Quest movie!
🤣 that would be hilarious and amazing
That would be a good movie
That's a pretty good idea! But I think Mr. Rolfe and Mr. Matei should actually try to get Christopher Lloyd and play Addams Family: Fester's Quest! That would be awesome and so surreal! 🤘😃

Should have played some Dreamcast today for the 20th anniversary

"The dream is over."

These videos are of great company, especially at night. I live completely alone and some nights are melancholic to say the least
Batman seems "extra" popular lately because it's the 80th Anniversary of Batman and the 30th anniversary of the 89 film.
Love the 1989 Batman film
"Deploy the Batman leg move"
I'm dying of laughter
19:10 In the ‘89 Batman, he says, “I’m GONNA kill you,” and he clearly does mean it.
5:50 Watching how James got game over was hilarious to me.
Same. The way he just stay in place to have Batman's face blown by a rocket was funny.
A rocket launcher? No problem! I'll just deploy a few Batman leg moves.
Batman the Movie by Ocean on various computer systems was very close to the movie.
Stage 1: Platform through Axis Chemicals chasing down Jack
Stage 2: Driving through Gotham avoiding police roadblocks
Stage 3: Puzzle stage trying to find antidote to Smyle
Stage 4: Flying through Gotham snagging the Joker's poison balloons
Stage 5: Platform through Cathedral chasing after the Joker
For 1989, it was pretty damn cool.
I would love to see them playing Contra Hard Corps.
best Contra imo
Theres a new Contra on the Switch this month.
and get all the different endings
that would be shortest episode so far
@@ksysinf Nah they are both decent at contra I am pretty sure they have done several contra videos.

I think that's a smidgen more unrealistic than "big sword" myself
Mario never does any real plumbing!
You know when mike's ready to play, when he gets tired of watching James die over and over
@@bubgrewal hahaha yes!
I love the soundtrack in this game. I wish we'd get Little V Mills to cover some of the songs on here.
Our day just got brighter. Thanks James and Mike!!!
Don't you mean it just got darker?
I'm Batman...the Dark Knight!
Oops...forgot to create a new youtube account before making this reply...D-oh!
Well said hahaha
is everyone else getting the sega classic thing as the ad video? i keep thinking it's going to be a mike edit..but nope just sega. haha

Nah

Total Recall on NES is kinda accurate. Pretty much all the levels of the game are in the movie.
20:12 Mike's "no!" Sounds exactly like Michael Scott from The Office saying "no!"
This comment needs more likes.
Hell yeah, forgot it was Monday.

Nate Kline It was moments like that which is why I like BATMAN RETURNS better
I had this for genesis so thank you guys for playing this game brought me back wonderful memories 🙏🏾💪🏾🤘🏾
I don't know what it is, but Mike looks suspiciously similar to the joker of the early avgn episodes!
Tomaten Mark Yeah he played the joker in the early episodes
@@DataBlinx You don't say ;)
LOVED this game when it came out in '91. Fantastic soundtrack as well.
1:22 "You didn't invite me, so I CRASHED!"
"Honestly, I really like these Tom Holland Spider-Man movies a lot."
I got bad news for you Mike....
Not really... They still gonna make spiderman movies with Holland
@@TungstenViper not gonna be the same
Good news for me!
"Why does Batman not use a gun?"
Oh I don't know, might have something to do with the fact that HIS PARENTS WERE SHOT TO DEATH?!
Thank YOU Batman vowed never to use a gun (of course after his vigilante phase post 1945ish)
Well, we have the new Robert Pattinson Batman interviews that came out recently, so maybe that's why James feels that Batman's more popular right now.
Mike should be the next Batman, and just swear the entire time while he's fighting like he does at the end of this vid xD
It looks like they might come out with another Batman movie if they're promoting Batman like you're saying. Hopefully, it'll be Batman vs. Predator.
That would actually be a good matchup...I'd pay to see that crossover! Great idea man... Batman vs Predator!
Give Prime-1 comment some likes people!
It comes out in 2021. Robert Pattinson is the new Batman
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 Thanks !
You two would dig the recent arcade game where you drive all the coolest Batmobiles around an open world Gotham City.
TheLadsBand4ever they still make arcade games? Haha
Joaquin Phoenix had to call Mike, for tips on how to play Joker 😎
no
I sure do love James Rolfe and Michael Matei Mondays
Yup I agree.🤗
Agreed
James and Mike should try Chakan: the Forever Man on Genesis. That game was to Sega what Dark Souls is to Xbox and PlayStation. Extremely difficult.
Difficult and a ...-rewarding- ending meheheheheh...
Stay for the post-credits in this game. You should~
I played that for the game gear very hard game
This looks very much like the C64 game.
I remember once I was waiting for it to load and I was just spamming random stuff on the keyboard. All sorts of things, from "I am Batman" to random gibberish.
I managed to activate a cheat mode for infinite lives. I then completed the game in a unexpected playthrough.
That cosmetics level was the hardest in the game, so finally getting past that was such a joy.
I always thought they could just cast any random dude as Batman but they should hire Kevin Conroy to dub all his lines
James impression of his dad made me want to hear his dad talk.
Its batman's 80 year anniversary that's why hes so popular right now.
That excuse comes around every 5 years. I remember all the fuzz about the 75th.
Tim Burton's Batman came out in the UK on August 11th, 1989.
I always remember that date, because everyone was going about with Batman logo T-shirts, with AUGUST 11 under it. The level of hype was insane.
Michael Keaton wore 89 Air Jordans on his feet when he played role as... Batman!👍 Lot people don't know that
Finally! One of the most nostalgic games for me, awesome to see it here. I have waited for this J&MM for long!
In my opinion batman 1989 arcade was the best. It had accurate enimes, it had the soundtrack and all the scenes were in order.
Although the game was gorgeous on the graphics department, audio was awesome; the fighting mechanics for gameplay was horrendous.
Back in the 80s, Batman started using guns loaded with rubber bullets.
James looks like the guy on the Power Blade cover.
Kinda but the dude on the cover reminds more of Tarantino or Schwarzenegger.
17:00 OMG! James Rolfe is Batman!? How could we miss this!?
Technically he was the original drummer, Stu Sutcliffe was the 5th Beatle, the original bass player.
Adventures of Batman and Robin on Genesis would be fun to watch James and Mike play
As another Kevin R, i can get on board with that.
@@kevinr.3542 We Kevin R.'s must stick together
Anyone get the impression Mike's the one that actually likes games?
Mikes the game guy. James the movie guy.
Yeah. James liked games, but most of the idea for the nerd and a lot of the channel's early content was thought up by Mike, but the title CINEMAssacre was James.

I do wish they focus more on playing the game. James seems like he has outgrown playing them. Mike still has it.
Have you seen James play Contra?

I like how the knife guy was knocked out with one hit in the movie but they made him a boss.
Hahahaha 😂 Mike does look like Pete Best. Nice
*James & Mike:* Names every other superhero movie.
*Christopher Nolan & Christian Bale:* Are we a fucking joke to you?!
This game was really hard to get the controls right in my experience
“This is a bitch!” 😂 nice outro of rage
Was just playing Arkham City 3hours ago. Batman games are always fun.
I had the Gameboy Batman movie game, which was also made by Sunsoft. It had a similar spinning Batman logo at the beginning, but the Gameboy version basically had Batman shooting pellets/throwing batarangs instead of punching or kicking. There were also some Batwing flight stages that felt like they belonged in a different game.
I completely forgot it was Monday until I got this notification.
Shout out to Mike for actually finishing the games on his own. MVP
I havent had time to watch this 20+ minute video but i already like it
What do you mean you haven't had time? It literally got posted 14 min ago 😂😂😂
There's a way to farm batarangs in the cathedral level. With those you can easily kill The Joker by just standing still and throwing them. It takes 11 batarangs to kill him. :)
James: "The Spider-man movie with Electro was OK."
*Face palm*
James looks and sounds like 'Captain' Tim Watters from the Deep Space 9 episode "Valiant"
That....is pretty specific and quite obscure...(checking Google images because I wasn't the biggest DS9 fan)
Yeah...actually yeah he kind of does....if he lost the glasses. Wow. You must've watched that recently.

The Batman NES is such a great game with just the righy kind of difficult & absolutely gorgeous for a NES title.

If he's gotta go, go with a smile.
Not too long ago, a random dude in a bar came up to me and said that I look like the foster home dad from the Shazam movie.
He was picking you up
20:04 Mike is turning into the Nerd..or maybe he was the nerd the entire time.
Loved the end edits of MIKE 😆
Batman has a Pistol in the Gameboy game.
Batman the movie is 30 years old, Batman the character is 80 years old.
And I'm happy that Mike did the Mario thing and made Batman jump on an enemy.
The commadore Amiga version was great and a big part of my early gaming experience and very closely followed the movie, would love to see you give it a try
Amiga and great don't belong in the same sentence.
I remember seeing Batman at a flea market in early 90s NY called Busy Bee Flea Market. It was the japanese version and came in a small clamshell that just fit the cartridge and the graphics blew my mind. I ended up buying an import of Strider...
It's a decent game, not quite as creative (no wall jump for example) but also not as frustrating as the NES one and I liked the shooter levels. Great music.
My minor gripe as well... platforming levels a little blah; difficulty was too easy even on *hard*
I had the opportunity to work with the Batman exhibit in Balboa Park. I missed my chance to meet James!
My favorite version of James and Mike Mondays is this version. Where Mike is playing the game and James is talking. It's so much more entertaining!
"Superman should just kill everyone" -> The 2019 movie Brightburn has this plot. Weird that the guys didn't mention it.
Now this looks like a Batman game. NES version looks like reskinned post-apocalyptic sci-fi... something.
Would rather play the NES game until forever than ever have to watch this garbage game for another 5 min. If my introduction to Batman would be through this game, boy would have i hated the entire super hero franchise
U can tell Mikes a real gamer, looks tired as hell lol stays up for 30 hours playing some crazy new release, awesome man
