personally its my favorite Batman game of alltime, and I'm born mostly in N64-NGC-PS2 era, but I still have a working NES with a few games that I do enjoy. the game is a fun side scroller but is mercilessly hard...needless to say the music in this game is more memorable than in most modern batman games
slightly unrelated, but Batman Returns (the movie) was originally going to have a sequel, a third TB Batman movie would have been great, apparently Joker was going to return, and so was Cat Woman, but people complained that it was too dark and violent so instead.....we got the Batman Forever movies.... Imagine this kind of flashy badass music ON SNES, a third Batman game based on the third movie could have been amazing. I really want to hear this in 16-bit now!
There was nothing like switching on the NES on a Saturday morning as a kid and playing through an entire game. Even if the game froze or you got your ass kicked, you just accepted it and restarted the game. I really think that taught me a bit of patience and discipline. We now live in an age of instant gratification and expecting everything for nothing. Times sure have changed - nothing will ever beat the 90s. They were the golden years.
For those that have this game-no matter how-play it today with your whole heart, for a great actor and human being has left us recently. Thank you Kevin Conroy. 😢😭
@Densester Man, I can hear the pearls falling on the ground tore off from Bruce Wayne's mother necklace when he had a flashback of his childhood in the Batcave.
Back in the day, this game was a state of the art masterpiece for the NES. The music, the graphics, the level design, the boss battles, you name it. Definitely one of the best NES games.
@Lindsay Vail first off Millennials range up to the 40s so unless you're a damn near 50 year old guy on RUclips you might want to check your facts. Also Bale was the better Batman.
Whenever I hear cool sounding NES music like this I always try to imagine what it would sound like if a band was playing it. (guitars, bass, and drums)
For NES, this is a very strong composition. It's like a mini-song. Tragic minor-key, fitting for the subject material. A 4-phrase(!) intro. Nice chord progression and interesting melody for the verse. And a chorus climax that almost repeats. Very driven tempo, like a locomotive. It even has an outro before it loops. Not an expert but I'd rank it as one of the best Stage themes ever composed for NES. That the sound team was able to extract this from a limited channel and sound producing system is extraordinary. I mean, I hear a bass-line, drum-line and a complex sounding echo melody in the chorus.
This was one of the greatest game on the NES imo. And one of the, if not THE best licensed moviegame of all time. Dear lord the music is still adreanaline pumping to this day..
i was 12 when i played that game. At my 25 i was trying to decide which song was the best song on nes. This or vimpire killer on castlevania. Now i am 44. I haven't decided yet. One of the most difficult decisions in my life
This game will forever stay in my and my brother's beating heart forever !! :) we played this , contra , monaco , spiderman , robocop , terminator , chip and dale ... alot of mario stuff ... lion king ... tetris ... Battle tanks :D man oh man ... those were the days 15 years ago :P .. im 22 now my bro is 24 .. things change fast but we are still the same kids inside :) always passing stages in life :D NICE VIDEO !! love this game's soundtrack's thx alot dude ! :)
Ryuujin1078 I stated playing it in 5th standard and completed at the end of 7th. Took me 3 years. I never quit it because I found to be dark, intense and challenging!
Sunsoft were masters of sound on the NES! Fully sample drums hits, a near FM synthesis sound emulation, reverb on a 5 channel 8-bit sound chip, and one of the greatest epic songs ever written!
One of my favorite video game songs ever. For 8 bit NES, this was well ahead of it's time. I'd love to see any of these new gamers try and play this game. Games these days aren't about the gameplay like it used to be. This game had it all! It suited the Batman franchise very well. Just my .02
I remember playing this game when I was little and remembered this song instantly. Games were a lot harder back then, or at least made you play through them all in one sitting.
That is very true. I have a group of friends. Out of them, I am the only one who does not love FPS, and two more do enjoy good games once in a while. Also, something seems to be missing from a lot of new games: Difficulty and needing to think. All my COD friends hate Minecraft, yet the ones who have mixed opinions enjoy it. Is it me or are people losing the will to think and be creative. Not even build your own stuff, but find a way around a given puzzle. All people want now is to blow shit up.
I took my girlfriend on a date whilst driving to the movie theatre I played this song...she said, “are you serious?” I told her, “yes! I have to beat this fucking traffic.” She broken up with me that night...Since then I started to jog at night all in black to wear off the emotional pain...
Addictive, yes. Good, not necessarily. It falls into the category of "wasting your time" more often than anything. My roommate just stayed up all night to level up his blacksmithing. That's not fun.
Yeah, I'm the one fucking up video games by liking the good ones and not wasting money on the bad ones so they can fund more bad ones. It's my fault and not yours. #petulantchild
I played all of those, but couldn't stand to finish most of them because they're so repetitive and boring. You like commercially popular bullshit, that's your cross to bear.
Look behind that and you'll see a crapton of hidden gems. Super Mario Galaxy Batman: Arkham Asylum/City Zelda: Skyward Sword Sonic Generations Metroid Prime 3 Get them. NOW!
SunSoft zawsze miał dobrą muzykę w swych grach.. Ta nie jest wyjątkiem. Rządzi tak bardzo że nawet na gitarce sobie ją pogrywam... Fantastyczny klimat fantastycznie idzie w parze z gameplayem ktory reprezentuje ta gra. Jezeli czytasz ten koment a jeszcze w to nie grales sciagaj emulator lub kup ten gre bo wypada ja znac.
Damn, I always thought i was the only one who love this tune, liked it nearly 20 years ago as I play the game, and now I find here metal covers and other remixes....great !
the old music is better because it was all unique to the company...now a days it's all orchestrated by the same programs or done in the same fashion....you had to be really creative back then and it could be interpreted different as to what beep and blip was the instrument you wanted it to be...Perfect example, I have not enjoyed Mario music since Super Marioworld, it lost it's up beat tempo and tone...Galaxy music is prime example of how more does not mean better.
yes i have played some modern games that i could beat in 3 days tops and when i played super return of the jedi i took me 2 WEEKS cause the game was so fricken hard!!! and even then the game was to difficult on the final stage when i played some megaman 2 i have been playing that game for months and i have never beat it but ocarina of time i lashed through 3 of the dungeons in less than a day long story short 3d games are to easy
Now, I mainly love retro games, and definitely consider this to be a good one... but Call of Duty (including its Modern Warfare variant) are far better than this. And no, I'm not being a graphics whore, there's a lot more to do in CoD. CoD is not a perfect game by any means at all, but compared to a linear game like Batman for the NES, it's a lot better. With CoD you can do a ton of stuff (like multiplayer splitscreen); whereas Batman is a linear and repetitive game.
@DougB541 Yeha, I think you're right. Batman serviced its purpose for its time. I never beat the game, it's so hard. But it was from an era when you, the gamer, got so much satisfaction out of doing your best. I do wish we had achievements to brag to our friends back in the day. Modern achievements are cool and are great for bragging rights, but those of us from that period will always remember the anonymous joy we received when our struggles paid off.
I want to know something. I played this game when I was still a kid in the family system (not the original nes) . I really remember this song is from stage 2, not stage 1 like we can hear on the emulators, not at least in family version. Maybe they switched the songs from one version to another, could be that possible?
i have many friends who is playing skyrim.. and i must say that it took up much of their time. i am no a mainstream guy that follows thae crowd.. i make my own opinoinons about games, but i think that is is good, and that it scores good on all the aspcts
not you, everything after 2005 has been going downhill on the dificulty department on "mainstream" game, if you ask me its kinda hilarious because before they were clearly the hardest games on their old days (cept for probably mario & others :/).
You people are crazy if you think this was a good Batman game. Maybe a good platforming game, but not a good Batman game. This was just another generic sidescroller game that happened to have Batman in. The Arkham games are the definitive Batman games.
they had passwords,lol,as much as i love arkham asylum and arkham city,this game will always be special,i remember being young and watching my brother and his friends try to beat this game,good times.
@SyBabyProductions Agree completely. Doesn't matter what game it is, modern games can't compare with the older ones... Yeah, better graphics, sound effects etc but that doesn't matter to me
@Johnlindsey289 yeah, TAS rocks, and because it was inspired in Burton's Batman. My bet about Dark Knight Rises is, Batman will still be an idiot and catwoman will kick his ass.Time will tell.
I was born too late. Those were the days, I hear that from people all the time, I wish i was alive then to experience it when it came out. fuck all the new consoles, NES is and will be the best forever..
much better than robocops music. movie games have good music at time 1989 at this is one of them. this was a very challenging game, this music was also used on stage 5 as well.
@megagrey well probably nintendo wii couldn't add to the brawl batman, that would something to laugh about ^^ the coming back of Adam West even more campier then ever before :P
It's still mindblowing how such a good song can be composed on a 8bit system
No super high tech or autotune, just pure Batman
this track has bass in it omfg these people back then were no less than Einstein
Still gets my heart racing!!!!!
the guy was Japanese
ever heard of the C64 and Jeroen Tel?
This game is a visual and audio masterpiece. It's definitely one of the greatest NES games of all time.
personally its my favorite Batman game of alltime, and I'm born mostly in N64-NGC-PS2 era, but I still have a working NES with a few games that I do enjoy. the game is a fun side scroller but is mercilessly hard...needless to say the music in this game is more memorable than in most modern batman games
yeah it is an great game but it' hard
Zealot King
i like pink ass holes :)
IBroLLyI ISephirothI hahahhaha xD
but really , i live this theme so bad
This music needs to come back in a new Batman game
Batman Returns music is quite sick as well!
Batman Returns had the better soundtrack IMO. But it's too fucking underrated.
slightly unrelated, but Batman Returns (the movie) was originally going to have a sequel, a third TB Batman movie would have been great, apparently Joker was going to return, and so was Cat Woman, but people complained that it was too dark and violent so instead.....we got the Batman Forever movies....
Imagine this kind of flashy badass music ON SNES, a third Batman game based on the third movie could have been amazing. I really want to hear this in 16-bit now!
Z-95SkyHunter definitely agree with u
What they did within the many technical limits is pretty amazing. Its still IMO some of the best music ever made. Elegance in simplicity
Dear lord, I'm 28 and crying like a b*tch listening to this.
The nostalgia is mighty.
25 mate, still remember playing this...
Amen. // 35 year old.
35 listening to this in 2020. 1 of the GOAT right here. Whoever composed this song is worthy of greater status than Mozart.
42 and doing the same nostalgia is a very powerful thing
32 😑
Oh my god, I remember getting so pumped up playing this. The music got your blood flowing.
play arkham knight with the 89 batsuit.....play this song... = BATMAN EM TO DEATH
FACTS*
My brother couldn't end this game & he was having only single life left.
He gave me the controller but somehow i managed to kill joker :D
Man it was damn hard to kill joker. He used to suck 4 bars of life with just one electric shock😅
“We just need music for a Nintendo game, nothing special.”

There was nothing like switching on the NES on a Saturday morning as a kid and playing through an entire game. Even if the game froze or you got your ass kicked, you just accepted it and restarted the game. I really think that taught me a bit of patience and discipline. We now live in an age of instant gratification and expecting everything for nothing. Times sure have changed - nothing will ever beat the 90s. They were the golden years.
I wholeheartedly agree
For those that have this game-no matter how-play it today with your whole heart, for a great actor and human being has left us recently.
Thank you Kevin Conroy. 😢😭
i can smell the smoke coming from the nes.
I can see the actual thing melting.
No kidding.
OMG... Burnt plastic... I remember too...
@Densester Man, I can hear the pearls falling on the ground tore off from Bruce Wayne's mother necklace when he had a flashback of his childhood in the Batcave.
Lol
Back in the day, this game was a state of the art masterpiece for the NES. The music, the graphics, the level design, the boss battles, you name it. Definitely one of the best NES games.
The best music of NES.
for 8 bit it even beats 16 bit damn i always loved this game and the music
I remember getting this game on my birthday a long time ago. such a great game wish i still had it.
Michael Keaton-best Batman ever!
Nah Christian bales is the batman
@@thatbeefman8042 both are great
Juan S. Moreno Kevin conroy?
@Lindsay Vail first off Millennials range up to the 40s so unless you're a damn near 50 year old guy on RUclips you might want to check your facts. Also Bale was the better Batman.
@Lindsay Vail Im literally a gen z

you have to admit, this was the best, if not one of the best batman games in the 90"s
Still the best Batman game.
yes
Since this game, all were thrash until arkham saga. Still playing this from time to time :).
Andrés Vlad Doménech Alcaide Batman II, the ones made by Konami and Sega were excellent too, breh
Adventures of Batman And Robin for both the SNES and the Genesis were masterpieces, althought they were hard af
never gets old
You are right it never gets old
2 years later (or 3, not really sure) and it’s still not old.
This sounds incredible on headphones
It's not only great, it screams Batman. Every time I see a Batman movie it automatically plays on my head. It fits so well.
This track rightfully belongs to The Shadow.
This game really portraits Batman as Batman. Dark as a bat must be.
I play this song on a loop when I play Arkham games
@SolidSnake0621 I should try that lmao :P
i was 12 when i played that game. At my 25 i was trying to decide which song was the best song on nes. This or vimpire killer on castlevania. Now i am 44. I haven't decided yet. One of the most difficult decisions in my life
oh god so many flashbacks on my head listening to this theme T^T. awesome theme
Man this takes me back... and STILL it kicks ass why in fuck are their not remix's of this!!!?
Maybe the best NES audio track ever. Certainly within the top five to be sure.
Batman logic: get hit 8 times to die and shrivel into fire
The fucking drums
This game will forever stay in my and my brother's beating heart forever !! :) we played this , contra , monaco , spiderman , robocop , terminator , chip and dale ... alot of mario stuff ... lion king ... tetris ... Battle tanks :D man oh man ... those were the days 15 years ago :P .. im 22 now my bro is 24 .. things change fast but we are still the same kids inside :) always passing stages in life :D NICE VIDEO !! love this game's soundtrack's thx alot dude ! :)
damn so ur like 31 now lol bless u bro
iPhone ringtone!
The Best Batman game ever. Fight me
but...it's fucking batman...T_T
This game is so hard n challenging it’ll turn off modern millienial gamers of without batting an eye
Ryuujin1078 I stated playing it in 5th standard and completed at the end of 7th. Took me 3 years. I never quit it because I found to be dark, intense and challenging!
@@shubhashishpandit6083 ok then. Castlevania next up :p
Ryuujin1078 never got past stage 2, but played the first stage many times just to hear this
The music had a special power that let us remember our best memories of our life. Greetings and God bless you !! : )
YEAHHHHHHHHH ! FINALLY I FOUND U XD
Even the MIDI versions are outstanding. Some of those files are above 50kb and by looking at the track data it's intense as the music itself.
so sick
I played this game so
Much,that I had to put the Nintendo cartridge in the freezer to get it to work at times.
“Fear is a tool. When that light hits the sky, it’s not just a call, it’s a warning.”
It's a warning that a guy wearing a massive purple suit will run at criminals and throw 36 boomerangs at them
the guy who made the themes to this game must have ben high on a drug unknown to mandkind
What? No!
Sunsoft were masters of sound on the NES! Fully sample drums hits, a near FM synthesis sound emulation, reverb on a 5 channel 8-bit sound chip, and one of the greatest epic songs ever written!
I know it’s very unlikely but I do hope this song appears in the flash movie.
One of my favorite Nes game music themes besides Guardian Legend and Ninja Gaiden
Great music, I remember how happy I was when my dad got me this game, unfortunately I never could get past the 2nd level
Why
This theme reminds me of Shinobi (SEGA Master System) and Castlevania (NES Stage 1)
Who is here because of Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch?
Streets of desolation best music in the game ever.
This song started playing in my head again and I haven't played it since five years. Dis is the best track in the game from my opinion.
Omg memorieeees :')
ive spend days on this game :D 5/5 and fave
I love Mega Man's music, too (particularly the opening theme from MM2). But I really like the tunes in Batman.
This track and the first stage music of Ninja Gaiden get you so hyped
It's kinda sad that this old 8-bit song is better than the new music these days everyone likes..like Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga
Unfortunately music nowadays is worse than 13 years ago. I may not have been a fan of them two, but they're way better than today's trendy music
I remember first hearing this song and thinking that it sounded like something from earthbound beginnings, I still think that.
I played this game before I saw the movie & I read the comic adaption of the movie before I saw the movie! XD
Awesome game!
One of my favorite video game songs ever. For 8 bit NES, this was well ahead of it's time. I'd love to see any of these new gamers try and play this game. Games these days aren't about the gameplay like it used to be. This game had it all! It suited the Batman franchise very well. Just my .02
I remember playing this game when I was little and remembered this song instantly. Games were a lot harder back then, or at least made you play through them all in one sitting.
True batman theme
Because I'm Batman.
I beat the game in 50 minutes.the 8 bit cutscenes where really good for that time.. Looking like the movie always gives an edge..
T__T I cried playing this game
GOAT.
Damn this brings back memories
May be the best video game song ever. This shit's so good
Joker you killed my parents.
Now you will dance with the devil on a pale moon light.
That is very true. I have a group of friends. Out of them, I am the only one who does not love FPS, and two more do enjoy good games once in a while.

Damn, I always thought i was the only one who love this tune, liked it nearly 20 years ago as I play the game, and now I find here metal covers and other remixes....great !
I enjoy this music in 2019, (i did played batman nes in 1988).
This game was really good shit and nobody knew about it.
It was like Castlevania or Contra, but with batarangs and Joker goons.
The BEST music
Best Batman game I have ever played... like which Batman game lets you infinitely wall jump?
the old music is better because it was all unique to the company...now a days it's all orchestrated by the same programs or done in the same fashion....you had to be really creative back then and it could be interpreted different as to what beep and blip was the instrument you wanted it to be...Perfect example, I have not enjoyed Mario music since Super Marioworld, it lost it's up beat tempo and tone...Galaxy music is prime example of how more does not mean better.
yes i have played some modern games that i could beat in 3 days tops and when i played super return of the jedi i took me 2 WEEKS cause the game was so fricken hard!!! and even then the game was to difficult on the final stage when i played some megaman 2 i have been playing that game for months and i have never beat it but ocarina of time i lashed through 3 of the dungeons in less than a day long story short 3d games are to easy
Now, I mainly love retro games, and definitely consider this to be a good one... but Call of Duty (including its Modern Warfare variant) are far better than this. And no, I'm not being a graphics whore, there's a lot more to do in CoD.
CoD is not a perfect game by any means at all, but compared to a linear game like Batman for the NES, it's a lot better. With CoD you can do a ton of stuff (like multiplayer splitscreen); whereas Batman is a linear and repetitive game.
@DougB541 Yeha, I think you're right. Batman serviced its purpose for its time. I never beat the game, it's so hard.

I want to know something. I played this game when I was still a kid in the family system (not the original nes) . I really remember this song is from stage 2, not stage 1 like we can hear on the emulators, not at least in family version. Maybe they switched the songs from one version to another, could be that possible?
The drums 🤩🤩🤩
i have many friends who is playing skyrim.. and i must say that it took up much of their time.
i am no a mainstream guy that follows thae crowd.. i make my own opinoinons about games, but i think that is is good, and that it scores good on all the aspcts
not you, everything after 2005 has been going downhill on the dificulty department on "mainstream" game, if you ask me its kinda hilarious because before they were clearly the hardest games on their old days (cept for probably mario & others :/).
You people are crazy if you think this was a good Batman game. Maybe a good platforming game, but not a good Batman game. This was just another generic sidescroller game that happened to have Batman in. The Arkham games are the definitive Batman games.
i love this song =)
@SyBabyProductions So true. There is a reason my NES gets more playtime than any other console.
@1996mazel you're wrong you should check out Superman on Nintendo 64 I heard it was pretty good
Bat man new games are always gonna have that one fast track in there somewhere
they had passwords,lol,as much as i love arkham asylum and arkham city,this game will always be special,i remember being young and watching my brother and his friends try to beat this game,good times.
@SyBabyProductions Agree completely. Doesn't matter what game it is, modern games can't compare with the older ones... Yeah, better graphics, sound effects etc but that doesn't matter to me
@Johnlindsey289 yeah, TAS rocks, and because it was inspired in Burton's Batman.
My bet about Dark Knight Rises is, Batman will still be an idiot and catwoman will kick his ass.Time will tell.
I was born too late. Those were the days, I hear that from people all the time, I wish i was alive then to experience it when it came out. fuck all the new consoles, NES is and will be the best forever..
much better than robocops music. movie games have good music at time 1989 at this is one of them. this was a very challenging game, this music was also used on stage 5 as well.
@megagrey well probably nintendo wii couldn't add to the brawl batman, that would something to laugh about ^^
the coming back of Adam West even more campier then ever before :P
