Yup. Mid 40s and I still whistle the first stage tune now and then and remember throwing the clowns into the window displays. Also yes it has been 30 years which makes me very depressed. I was it was only 20 years.
This is the gold standard for movie tie-in games for this era. The care taken to capture the look and feel of the movie is outstanding. I remember playing at a friends house and he was shocked when I showed him you could replicate Batman shooting the grapnel at the Stun Gun Clown and pulling out the chunk of the wall behind him.
Same with me and also a childhood favorite SNES Game and The Movie itself that was a Summer Hit in 1992 back then, but still consider as a Christmas Movie too…
beware the first 2 dumbasses who comment and say "i hack gf account" they are bot and probably they link to malicious site report them and hope that they get removed....
How is it ahead of its time? Beat-em-ups weren't exactly hard to come by on the SNES back in the day, and this one is good but not exactly ground breaking.
I love this game, It's my favorite game on the SNES and It's based on my favorite Batman movie of all time, I've beaten this game 1000 times and I still play it on the Halloween and Christmas months.
I love this game so much. The Final Fight style of gameplay, the music feels like Danny Elfman composed it, the graphics are phenomenal, etc. Konami did so great with this game.
I was just thinking of final fight looking at it. I think YT recommended me this video because I just uploaded some beat em ups.. I've never played this one, but I almost definitely will.
I Think it's safe to say that this might be the only DC Game that Konami had made like X-Men The Arcade Game which is the only Marvel Game that they made..I am a huge fan of Batman since The New Adventures of Batman and Robin which is one of my favorite Batman Cartoons up to this day and Batman The Animated Series
So god damn fantastic Its follow the movie perfect Graphic is a amazing Soundtrack identical to the movie 10/10 one of the best SNES games ever created ,
Purchased this game back when I got my very first SNES here in Australia. Loved this game greatly, the satisfaction you get from delivering BAT justice to the penguin's minions was amazing. Perfect example of a perfect brawler, eat your heart out Capcom.
I find it hard to believe that back in the day companies like Capcom & Konami were not only releasing tons of great properties of their own without ripping off fans but even quality movie based games... Now it's just DLC Street Fighter Resident Evil DLC Metal Gear Solid DLC Silent Hill DLC... Did I forget to mention the DLC?
DLC has become the main market for games now. Since Home consoles have become more advance equipped with internet accessed to the web, a lot of the young demography have resorted to using the PSN and XBLA for content. DLC has become a stronger market then just selling games in retail stores. Because of that, Capcom and Konami have to keep up with modern times and adjust and provide to the consumers. Yes it sucks for old school gamers like you and I but that is the way it is. The generation now has Online Multiplayer, we had Arcades.
of course fans were being ripped of then ¿how many tenagers of the late 80's, early 90's could afford paying 70$ - 100$ (japanese imports then even more, up to 140$) for a snes or megadrive game? at least in europe that was a complete ripoff. no internet to inform beforehand, just covers and still images in gaming magazines. if lucky enought a department sore would have it playing in the electronics section. Chances that after losing your year savings to a game you realize that you bought a complete garbage of a game, And how long until you could afford yourself another one? just think how much money would be 70$ - 100$ comparativelly in purchasing power today. today gaming scene is a ripoff, but yesterday game scene was a ripoff too, but worse as it was difficult to get informed well.
This is one of the most faithful video game adaptations of a major motion picture, which makes this one of the best SNES games and possibly THE best Batman game ever.
I owned a genesis and my cousin owned snes. We played this game for hours and hours on the snes and i was so excited to get it on my genesis then i did and man what a disappointment it was. Didn't even play that junk for 3 mins not that genesis wasnt capable but would have been awesome if the same developer made the genesis version and what the difference would have been then.
Oh man, this game I rented from Blockbuster in the 1990s. The gameplay is superb. I don't know why I didn't buy it for my collection. This is one of the best games on the snes. Konami did such a great job creating this game. Lots of fun. Way ahead of it's time. A classic on the snes.
30:14 That scream still haunts me to this day. I had played this game in '94 and had seen the movie beforehand, but I wasn't expecting the woman you're trying to save to die in a SNES game, a beat 'em up no less.
This brings back a lot of memories! One of my favourite Batman game on snes! Beat em up, flying kick, smashing enemies into each over and throwing clowns up against store windows… this game had all the right ingredients!
Yes, they were. This game is just one of rare exceptions. Cut out that mythos about "good old days", movie-based games even then were either mediocre, or just a piece of shit. And even today we still get to see a good game based on a movie, like Chronicles of Riddick (which was actually better than the movie) or Battle of Middle-Earth.
Genesivare Genesivare Yeah every single one I played back in these "Good old days" was absolutely atrocious. The King of Shit had to be Total Recall, which included a level where you had to kill about 80 rats and 80 bums, all because there was one quick scene in the movie in an abandoned building where one rat was shot. Lol. The bums all looked the same of course, and attacked you on sight, of course.
One of the best beat em ups Konami has made based on a comic book movie. I like how while this game is an SNES exclusive, it has that arcade feel to its controls and theme.
One of the few only iconic caped crusader VG I cannot get sick of, and that has shaped me into the Bat I am today. The music also has an everlasting impression on me in every aspects
I think that the SNES version of "Batman Returns" is one of the best movie-based video games of all time. I know it 's not saying much--considering the reputation of movie-based video games but it's one of my personal favorite video games.
I still have the cartridge for this! One of my favorites growing up! I'm really happy with how good Streets of Rage 4 is, but this is still better imo.
I remember spending countless hours in the first 3 levels cause i couldn't beat it, i was like 7 years old. watching this brings back so many good memories! Thank you for sharing.
I also got a dvd copy of the original batman returns movie. As child I always watch my older brothers play this game alot on the super nes. When growing up during my middle school days I was always curious what game was my older brothers playing but years later the time I was in middle school my brother downloaded this game on my emulator for me to play. And I enjoy this game alot on my emulator. Batman returns was the best licensed title super nes game from konami game they may not make games like they use to but at least some good memory is left behind from golden ages both the movie and game I enjoy alot Thank you for uploading this video.
You know Konami did a amazing job with the Batman license. This game, the Batman and Robin Adventures game. They took all of what the fans loved and incorporated them into the games. Unlike LJN who always butchered movie based games, these were perfectly made!
This was one of my favorite games for the SNES. Great music from the movie, solid gameplay, and good graphics for the time. Way better than Maximum Carnage.
This one of the best beaten ups of all time, so much fun. Sound track was good too. There’s something about getting in a street fight with some ruffian clowns that is magical. Some of those clowns were tough customers.

This is one of those rare games you remember perfectly even 20 years later! What a gem!
More like 30 years!
Which is scary yikes
Yup. Mid 40s and I still whistle the first stage tune now and then and remember throwing the clowns into the window displays. Also yes it has been 30 years which makes me very depressed. I was it was only 20 years.
17:18 flawless teamwork by the bazooka clowns.
I loved this game so much.
😂
🤡👏🏻🤣
The music in this game is simply awesome.
I just love the sound of the punches Batman lands on all of the thugs he fights and the groans of pain from the bosses.
Yeah, it's cool!
"Pam! Pam! Bram!"
this was the Arkham Knight of my Childhood...
Mine was the NES version
Yeah. What a great game.
Arkham Knight is the worst batman game I've ever played
@@mkb144p6 you have shit taste
I was waiting for an Arkahm reference.
This is the gold standard for movie tie-in games for this era. The care taken to capture the look and feel of the movie is outstanding. I remember playing at a friends house and he was shocked when I showed him you could replicate Batman shooting the grapnel at the Stun Gun Clown and pulling out the chunk of the wall behind him.
who still here in 2020 reminiscing of the good childhood days!!! I was addicted to this game ! The music itself gave me chills in the best ways mann 🥲
You are not alone bro
Same with me and
also a childhood favorite
SNES Game and The
Movie itself that was a
Summer Hit in 1992 back then,
but still consider as a Christmas
Movie too…
2022 and I just rewatch this for a throwback 🍺.
I actually never had this one. It looks pretty good! I think I'll give it a shot.
It never ends for me, even now in 2022 after more than 25 years of gaming. 😁
“Fat Clown” “ Tall Clown” “Thin Clown”
Straight to the point.
Fast fwd to 2021- “Batman Returns has been CANCELLED due to offensive language. And how do we know Batman is a man???!!!”
Ok, the best part in this, when you ,have done win the Catwoman stage :-) :-) hot

Where's Short Clown?
Wayyyyy ahead of its time this game. 10/10
How is it ahead of its time? Beat-em-ups weren't exactly hard to come by on the SNES back in the day, and this one is good but not exactly ground breaking.
give me a break lol
Dumbest comment ever read
It was a good game
Good game, but honestly beat em ups were on the way out by the mid '90s
I love this game, It's my favorite game on the SNES and It's based on my favorite Batman movie of all time, I've beaten this game 1000 times and I still play it on the Halloween and Christmas months.
This is # 1 bullshit

I'm trying now to play this same game on Sega

So god damn fantastic
Its follow the movie perfect
Graphic is a amazing
Soundtrack identical to the movie
10/10 one of the best SNES games ever created ,

I'm Michael Keaton, and I approve this game.
BeetleJuice would kick batmans ass.
Well, I guess you really could tell Michael Keaton that he needs to stop punching himself...
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants fucking idiot
@@AlexKaneROTN You didn’t get the joke clearly
What a soundtrack coming from this snes game.
Nothing is better than the good old-fashioned beat'em up games
Definitely one of the best games ever made on snes! I played this for endless hours as a kid
Ugh. I wish they still made side-scrolling beat em' ups.
The Adrianator101 yup, better than all that 3d bullshit, makes me dizzy.
I don't
I'm 34 years old & i still love beat em ups!!!!!
@@nathanbabiuk6286 Nobody gives a fuck about you. Shut your mouth.
We still get one or two of them every couple of years from Indie developers, like Castle Crashers, Scott Pilgrim, and Streets of Rage 4.
I LOVED this back in the day, I was impressed with the BIG colourful graphics and I loved throwing baddies into the background!
Great Game, Great Soundtrack, Great Memories! : )

Well all the DLC in Street Fighter V is actually unlockable and in the game.
Capitalism!!

The best SNES game of all time! Best game and best soundtrack!
the movie was so amazing, still my favorite movie!
This was my shit back in the 90's. I think I beat this when I was 8. Kids were smarter back then.
@Cactus Jack Nice way to prove a point. If he was around 8 in the 90s how can he be a boomer?
Cactus Jack kid please go to a fortnite vid kid 😂😂
@Cactus Jack : Mommy must be so proud of you. Another participation trophy for your collection.
Ok millenial
@@Sentinelelmejor928 : Just call them a Zoomer. It's obviously a child.
Had a lot of fun with this game as a teenager, great vid
another Konami SNES jewel
Batman’s throwing combos? I completely forgot about this game. Amazing
This game was actually really great. One of my favorites. It's very relevant to the movie, unlike the Batman Forever game.
Well all batman related movies and video games in the 90's, after batman returns sucked so what can you expect?
So glad I found this. I am putting it on my emulator. Going to have a good time revisiting my childhood lol
🐱👍
This is one of the most faithful video game adaptations of a major motion picture, which makes this one of the best SNES games and possibly THE best Batman game ever.
This one and Turtles in Time, Best Beat-Em-Up Games !!!, wish i could play these games on Switch
That Makes TWO of us.
Is homebrew working fine in nintendo switch ?
What if Rocksteady made a batman game based off Tim Burton's batman?
I know they are never going to do it but it would of been cool if they did.
Probably make it like the Arkham series
@@Joe_Kerr_9797hello exist a Game of Batman where Batman throw a rope to the statue and the Joker fall?
Gotta Go Girl Talk !
Best punchline ever in the video game industry's history...
I'd like to see an Arkham game based loosely around Batman Returns, with more focus on brawling.
This version was so much better than the Genesis version..
1000x better
Holy shit night and day!!!
They're different
I hate to say it but it really kinda is and this is coming from a life long genesis fan
I owned a genesis and my cousin owned snes. We played this game for hours and hours on the snes and i was so excited to get it on my genesis then i did and man what a disappointment it was.

Tomaleeee, esse foi o primeiro jogo de herói que joguei na vida. Batman é meu herói favorito pra sempre.
Best Batman game pre Arkham.
+Zeus Poseidon The Adventures of Batman & Robin was pretty damn good, as was Batman for the NES.
+Zeus Poseidon no way, Batman The Video Game for NES was outstanding. This game is fun, but it's a basic beat em up
Dolan Trumpet
Batman Return Of The Joker on the NES was the best batman game IMO
I like Batman Vengeance on PS2.
I was a Sega guy but what an amazing machine the SNES was 🤩
masterpiece of konami
I remember this game! So awesome! Crackin' the skulls of Gotham's crooks and even destroying a garbage can (Which qualified as an enemy) was such fun.
80’s babies where y’all at?
Batman is one of the top best games on the SNES. I spent my best moments of my life playing this one and some other games of the console
Ah, the good ol' days when movie-based games weren't worthless shovelware...
Even if the movie they were based on was...
Yes, they were. This game is just one of rare exceptions. Cut out that mythos about "good old days", movie-based games even then were either mediocre, or just a piece of shit.

Power rangers the movie video game
Alot of LJN movie games were trash lol. Batman returns, and a few others definitely were exceptions for sure though.
Not only is the music very well done, but the opening and between-stage cinemas were pretty good stuff for a 1993 cartridge-based game.
4:24 - As a young boy, that intro gave me chills.
One of my favorite beat em ups. Love the soundtrack and the sound of punching your enemies in the face.
The head smashing together is great!
32:46 That's the fastest campaign van I've ever seen in my life !
This game looks and sound amazing! I remember being awed by this gem. I also love the realistic impact sounds of batman hitting punches!
One of the best beat em ups Konami has made based on a comic book movie.
I like how while this game is an SNES exclusive, it has that arcade feel to its controls and theme.
all the new kids hyped about the Batmobile being in the new Arhkam game lol
OMFG, those penguins are more effective in killing batman than all of the clowns in the game....
I loved this game as a kid. Watching it now brings back memories
2019 who’s with me!! This game was the shit
Oh yes it was
One of the few only iconic caped crusader VG I cannot get sick of, and that has shaped me into the Bat I am today. The music also has an everlasting impression on me in every aspects
Wow I can't believe Batman beat the penguin in Batman Returns on snes congratulations.
17:20 - 17:35 -- Man, those bazooka clowns were just having a grand old time blowing each other up, not even coming anywhere close to hitting Batman.
The game music and sound FX was just on a whole nother level!!! Very Suspenseful
Don’t you miss those days when Michael Keaton was Batman? ☺️
I think that the SNES version of "Batman Returns" is one of the best movie-based video games of all time. I know it 's not saying much--considering the reputation of movie-based video games but it's one of my personal favorite video games.
Marvin Wicks i agree. Warner bros is slaughtering the franchise these days
This one and Batman Begins tho
Along with True Lies ,Lion King ,Aladdin and
Demolition man
I still have the cartridge for this! One of my favorites growing up! I'm really happy with how good Streets of Rage 4 is, but this is still better imo.
Very difficult game. Just started playing it
Call me crazy but I think this looks more fun than the Arkham games!
Adrian Hahn arkham games are pretty legendary though
dat one pimp Then tell why
You're crazy
this better than Arkham? give me a break, have fun doing the same thing over and over, like every other beat em' up lol
wow, what a Throwback! Haven't played this in a while lol
I remember spending countless hours in the first 3 levels cause i couldn't beat it, i was like 7 years old. watching this brings back so many good memories! Thank you for sharing.
Still love this game
Great movie, great game. 'nuff said!
I waited for 15 year to see the end I couldn't not finish, thanks for sharing.
I was 5 when I started playing this I still reminisce about playing this game. Wish I still had this I’d still play it.
Mi primer juego 💗u💗, cuanta nostalgia 🙈
One of my top 5 favorite Batman games of all time
My favorite Batman Returns game.Ever!
Wow, that's a long intro! But it perfectly tells the story :D

saudade do meu super nintendo melhor época dos games .kkkk jogava quando tinhas uns 7 anos
Some nostalgia in this video right here!
18:09 the way he rips the newspaper and enters the fight is so formidable and opposing!
The circus train soundtrack sounds good for it's time! Memories of my teenage years and feeling nostalgic!
Batman, return that was a big video game. It came out when I was about 13
This was one of my favorite games for the SNES. Great music from the movie, solid gameplay, and good graphics for the time. Way better than Maximum Carnage.
I still love this game
Man you kicked ass in this game!!! Impressive Snake! Long live Batman!

Today, I was playing batman arkham origins 2013 and now enthralled to see so much advancement in just a couple of decades
Soooo one of the best games I've ever played. Though I couldn't stop laughing during some of the boss fights... ARGH!
I never could beat this game as a kid. I would always be on my last life when I got to the Penguins lair. No chance lol
Lol same but i did manage to finish eventually after numerous tries
+Captain Cartman same I couldnt finish it
+Captain Cartman Same here, unfortunately.
Omg same with me!
I remember reaching that first penguin battle and thinking it was the final boss lol
I remember for those tall flame throwing guys I always used the test tube attack before I figured out you had to jump.
this look better than batman 1 and batman forever
LOVED this game when I was young !
47:53 The Penguin goes down on Batman's.....ass?
Fucken hell! So much hours spent on this game lol
I always thought smashing a clown into the glass window was the coolest
