Batman Forever The Game Commercial

[live4marilyn]

"I'm Batman!" (AVGN as the Bat Nerd)

[live4marilyn]

The AVGN will explain how this game was programmed to in an "asanine ball brained cockamamie ridiculous fashion". They should definitely program the controls with more than just 2 buttons.

[live4marilyn]

The combat moves are identical to the ones in Mortal Kombat. Both games are made by the same company Acclaim! "This game is Tricerytops Testicles!" LOL!!!

[Eigoud01]

I want the song more then the game.

[KISSarmyGuy]

Great for Genesis but crap on SNES.

[LawrenceOlaf]

0:18 He looks like either the Mad Hatter or the Ventriloquist

[KidMagnum]

"When good battles evil, the real game begins"

*Watches AVGN's Batman Forever Review*

[masterKF123]

i dont know whats worse. this or shaq fu. or the fact that i owned both of them

[Aloysius10]

who sings this song

[SimplyFabulouzTV]

Incredible 3D Graphics=LIES!! lol

[PvtSkittles619]

Imagine if they made an batman arkham city commercial with this song

[EvilCupcakePewPEw]

Thank you for uploading it, I remember seeing it when I was younger but I couldn't remember what is for .

[Seafordshadow]

@EvilCupcakePewPEw says at the end of the commercial what it was for

[EvilCupcakePewPEw]

@Seafordshadow I know but for years I could only remember the beginning of the commercial

:P

[Xyberfaust]

The game's pretty cool.  People are just too retarded and get frustrated with a game because they actually have to think.

[whaowman]

@Xyberfaust AGREED.

[ckyfan08]

Would have loved a full version of this song

[NatDuv121]

Really don't know why everyone is ranking on the game so much. I loved it.

[LOKBLUDOM3N]

Kickass Movie

Shit Game.

[marvelbrothers]

0:20 OH SHIT SON

[RandomoVideos]

I remember this advert! :P It's on the VHS tape of Batman Forever :D

[drunkenmaster1605199]

@RandomoVideos me too :D

[Seafordshadow]

@RandomoVideos this is more like batman thn the actual film

[marvelbrothers]

awsome commerical .... remember seeing it on the VHS tape of batman forever to bad i heared the game sucked

[MiddleEasternBorder]

This has to be the prequel for MK vs DCU game

[Swampert384]

I had this game on the genesis, and since there is no select button, I still don't know how you were supposed to get up the hole. Also, you gotta love how they don't show any game footage in this commercial at all, as if they know they made a shitty game.

[getmario64]

BULLSHIT!!! THIS GAME SUCKS!!! I COULDN'T GET UP IN THE HOLE TO BE PRESSING UP BUTTON AND SLIGHTING PRESS THE SELECT BUTTON!

Thank You for ruining my christmas gift and responsible for making this control buttons is out of nowhere! Who is reponsible for making these bad control buttons? Who?

[ssquirrel16]

none of these clips are from the movie

[Ezekiel222]

Bad keyboarding, Nine Inch Nails -esque video, cheesy lyrics, and 2d graphics... you can tell this was the 90's. 

[Surebro0]

THE GAME SUCKS I LIKE THE NEW ONE ARKHAM ASYLUM

[dkeeks]

What's the name of this song?

[EnigmaW2011]

why is there no online info in this trailer?

[DoctorPretorious616]

@EnigmaW2011 It was 1995; the Internet sucked back then and not all games had online promotion.

[Skeletonwitharaygun]

@EnigmaW2011

LMAO!

Were you not alive back then?

The Internet wasn't exactly what it is today.

[sonic8005]

One of the times when the game's commercial is MUCh better than the actual game!

[LTal94]

INCREDIBLE 3D GRAPHICS.

[RekAnthony]

I was pretty disappointed when the game came out. It should have been great, but it wasn't.

I sang another commercial for a toy car that drove on the ceiling, called Anti-Gravity.

During prototype testing the car kept falling from the ceiling, and they were worried it might hurt kids, so they pulled the car and the commercial. I saw a commercial a couple of months ago for something very similar, but can't recall the name.

[RekAnthony]

Hi,

I am the person who sang on this video. It was a fun project. I actually sang four commercials for the movie. Two for radio, one for movie trailers and one for TV.

Feel free to check out some of my other stuff: myspacedotcom/RekAnthony

[RekAnthony]

RekAnthony

Correction: I sang four commercials for the video game, not the movie. Sorry or the typo.

[milkmanv1]

@RekAnthony Awesome, dude; I hold the song in more nostalgic regard than the game lol....

[TBryant20]

HOF best commercial ever!!!

[cloflo217]

NOBODY BETTER LAY A FINGER ON MY BUTTER FINGER!

Am I the only one who noticed that at the start?

[PvtSkittles619]

@cloflo217 yea i noticed :P it and you better not touch my butterfinger

[cloflo217]

@PvtSkittles619 TOO LATE, COZ I ALREADY DID!! Mm-hm!! XD

[PvtSkittles619]

@cloflo217 CURSE YOU. You will pay for that. I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE FOR MY BUTTERFINGER

[cloflo217]

@PvtSkittles619 LOL, YOUR FUNNY! XD What are butter-fingers anyway? XD

[PvtSkittles619]

@cloflo217 :o

[cloflo217]

@PvtSkittles619 Damn, I've really DONE it now! XD

[PvtSkittles619]

@cloflo217 You sure did Now I activate my lawl Lazers

[cloflo217]

@PvtSkittles619 Well, guess that means I'll just have to . . . FIRE-MAH-LAZAAAHH-BLAAAAARRRRR­RGH!!

[PvtSkittles619]

@cloflo217 Oz noz its super effective must go to my roflcopter

[Xyberfaust]

The game was pretty cool. It sucks when people hate something because its too hard for them.

[perun1nj]

I found Waldo!

[MarkTheGreat555666]

I think I know who sings this song. I think it's this guy named Jesse Frederick, the guy who song the opening song to Family Matters since it sounds a lot like him.

[DETROIT2MILWAUKEE]

this reminds me of the 95 cup finals between the devils and wings for some reason

[RocketeerRaccoon]

Good commercial, bad game.

[ThunderLizardsRule]

THE REAL GAME BEGINS!!!

That's what the Riddler said.

[TheUnknowngamer96]

what is the name off that song

[03blaird]

Why do I still remember this add years later? still cant get it out of my head!

[ChrisJ092]

A great commercial to a truly horrible game.

[antitroll890]

This song is so much better than the shitiness that is Kiss from a Rose and every other song they used in the movie........this industrial heavy dance/metal whatever it is song would have been awesome if they used it in Batman Forever IMO

[calumpat9]

WHEN GOOD BATTLES EEVIILL!!!!!! THE REAL GAME BEGINS! 

[TheShmander]

reminds me of my childhood

[DrGnockerz]

What's the song called?

[Rexco33]

Why does the guy whose supposed to be Riddler look like Scrooge?

[AlextheSuperfly]

Awww, I love this advert. The game itself was way too hard (the controls on the SNES version were all messed up) but I remember thinking that the advert was awesome!

[lurch1066]

i have this song on my iphone i love it

[theartyone]

@lurch1066 What is the song?

[lurch1066]

@theartyone the song was recorded especially for batman so this vid is the whole song

[theartyone]

@lurch1066 Awww shame... ah well. Thanks for that ;o)

[MrLeo1586]

@lurch1066

Where can you find this song cause i want it too!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lurch1066]

@MrLeo1586 the song was made for the advert so there isnt a full length one but i do have this clip

[MrLeo1586]

@lurch1066

so you have this clip in your ipod ? How do I put it in mine? AND Where did get the clip from?

[lurch1066]

@MrLeo1586 i ripped the audio off this video clip, converted it to an mp3 file then dragged and dropped it onto my iphone

[PeckProject]

incredible 3d graphics!

[TheNosferatu5]

wow very lame music.

[DarkShadowRage2]

this game was a bitch, simply because I couldn't use any of the fuckim gadgets. pissed me off seriously.

[1Dugie]

I only watch this cause of the song.

[theartyone]

@1Dugie Same here.. but what is the song?

[1Dugie]

@theartyone Been trying to find out about that too.

[namcoshinAkuma]

what song is that?

[steviebhoy7]

I used to love this!!!!!! :) Haven't seen it in years!

[bronco24]

The real game begins! Ahhh I miss the 90's so much. Awesome commercial shitty game

[SLIPKN0Tvids]

0:07 to this day man, it disturbs me.

[mcashx87x]

The singer of this song sounds exactly like the singer of Evergrey. But it can't be, Evergrey didnt come out till '98.

[CodenameSailorEarth]

It took me the better part of a decade before I ever figured out that to use the grappling hook, you have to hit (On the SNES) select and Up. And you can't be a nano-second off, nor can you hold one of the buttons. It's select-up. Like that. Not even at the same time. Nice of Akklaim to put this in the instruction manual, NOT!!

Ack-Lame Akklaim. Even WITH cheat codes I have never finished this game, nor do I even want to. Many a night I have chucked the game across the room while screaming.

[SoadIsAwesome87]

@CodenameSailorEarth I argee with everything you just said. The controls made the game uncontrolable. I had the Sega(worse) version and the fact that there was no save game.. When I look back and realize the time I took out of my childhood years to play this piece of garbage of a game, it really saddens me.

[StephenAlexWalker]

@SoadIsAwesome87 Sega version was much better than the SNES version it didn't have all the loading screens and the basic control were much easier with the 6 button pad. I still disliked the way you have to do weird button combos to get the specials moves to work and the way they only worked half the time oh and the stock villains, the graphics were good though.

[live4marilyn]

@CodenameSailorEarth The Angry Video Game Nerd would've told you how to use the grappling hook!

[theoddronin1]

When the commercial is more awesome than the game and movie you made, you've done something wrong.

And what is the name of the song in this commercial anyway?

[TheLastStand001]

It sucked back then and it sucks forever

[adongodlymaster]

@TheLastStand001 Were they trying to just ruin this game? Just flat out, just fuck it up?

Well they did! Batman Forever...

[whaowman]

@TheLastStand001 AVGN...

[ScorePN44]

@TheLastStand001 u just copied what the angry video game nerd said

[SamsXPtuts]

@TheLastStand001 noooo

[MikeMJPMUNCH]

my god this brings back some memories.

[jhackney88]

I Liked playing this for about the first 20mins after owning it, I might have kept playing it if the game had some save points, I got so frustrated trying to go back over what i had just done over and over again.

[TruMorbid]

Sadly, the game was more enjoyable than the movie.

[trackcar666]

It looks so awesome! But... we all now how it turned out. A real piece of batshit!

[526Gaijin]

@trackcar666 lol

[GokuMcDuck]

The ad rocked! The game sucked.

[famous305matrix]

i really liked this game myself

[piegirl89]

I rented this game when i was 7 in 1995 and did not beat it untill I was 19 because of a cheat code. it was decent with the cheat codes but the commercial somehow made it look cooler lol

[briencrawford]

this is still one of the worst games lol with its elevator music, horrible weapons and specials that are soooooooooooooo weak. does anyone remember trying to jump down in level??? god damn its like the riddler and two face had the producers of this game hi-jacked and forced them to make it impossible to either A. have the chance to even face them or B. make it impoosible to get passed them. horrible game. now and forever

[MrMetroid1998]

@briencrawford I agree the game was a disgrace to even the movie it was based off.

[bofo85]

this game was hard and the controls were horrible

[Goosterooo]

I don't think I ever made it past the bank or the circus stage. The one where you have to defuse bombs. Couldn't do it.

[dudster9867]

@Goosterooo same here that damn game was impossible

[jayce79]

Awesome graphics , . . . . sucky game. 

[Theshark15z]

I'm glad I rented the game before I decided to buy it instead. Thankgod I didn't buy it. At least the Sega Saturn version was a classic style beat em' up game. This one just reeked.

[kevy06]

This commercial actually broke the law, a violation of the "Trades Description Act"

[LetMeSi2]

Wow I still can't believe that this damn song is still stuck in my head all these years later!

[hypnodance]

@LetMeSi2 Yeah, it was the best thing about this game! :p

[SemiJuggaloNumber2]

Batman and Robin don't have nipples on their costumes... My God, even the people who came up with this ad have more sense than Joel Schumacher!

[Skeletonwitharaygun]

@SemiJuggaloNumber2

The nipples are kind of silly.

But if you think about it,It works for the whole "creature of the night" bit that batman works with.

How people aren't sure if he's some kind of beast of just a man.

If they just caught a glimpse of the suit they would think it was his skin.

Id rather the suit not have nipples,But it works if you think about it that way.

[BRAKESUK80]

in the first 7 seconds of this video they show "scary" looking goths - little did they know that 15 years later half the world would look like that ;)

[jacknaipes]

the name of the song pleaseee

[jacknaipes]

the name of the song pleaseee

[etiscool1]

I've played a game of Batman Forever on the playstation. Does anyone else know that version existed? I played it years ago. It was still a beat em up game but looked even worse than the SNES version of the game. Yeah, a PS game that is CD based looks not even half as good as the SNES version which is f***ing cartridge based. Why do people make bad games still. Do they even think straight or do they think about the money over the quality? I bet they only think f***ing money over the quality.

[boyders92]

whats this song thats been used ?

[hammeredbro95]

This game was so freakin hard, I remember when I was like 5 or 6 playing this game and I couldnt even make it past the second level, ah the old SNES days

[12TNAbuDDay18]

wow that commerical was about as good as the game is awful. LOL

[iplaytokickurazz]

I hated this game i spent so many hours at sleep overs with my friends trying to beat it.Didnt the makers know that they were making if for young kids not college graduates.

[jayce79]

Thid did have some pretty cool graphic's. But it was a suck Game. Thumb's up , fun old commercial.

[Naruku2121]

I liked the game, I sucked at it, but it was one of two games that I ever owned. SNES was my first system, so 1 out of probaly hundred games this was first. Though I had little to no prior videogame experince so it seemed fun, still kind of does.

[ThunderLizardsRule]

"Batman Forever" could have been better if Tim Burton and Michael Keaton were still involved in the 90s franchise.

[Antwon627]

The commercial was much better than the crappy game. Thanks for posting it.

[Leatherbubba]

I remember this. Too bad the game turned out to be crap.

[chv4life]

wow acclaim went out of biz? damn i didnt know that 

[Jigsaw082]

@TheRiddler210: The Angry Video Game Nerd said that in his review lol

[xraycat30]

This game was so unbelieveably bad. It is quite possibly the worst movie-game adaptation ever...and that is saying alot because most movie-game crossovers suck...but this one is legend. I've never found anyone who can say that they actually liked the game. I hope there's a special place in hell reserved for the developers of this nightmarish disaster.

[Terryfan]

@xraycat30 I have to agree about 90 percent of video games based off movies go badly another piss poor game based on a classic was Jurassic Park for the super nintendo that game had to be the worst game ever for the system

[ArtQuakedoom95x2]

@xraycat30 what you think about Batman Returns for SNES?

[xraycat30]

@ArtQuakedoom95x2....Never played that one, so I can't comment. Why...is it worse?

[ArtQuakedoom95x2]

@xraycat30 looks like a hard version of Final Fight, but with only one char to use (batman)

[MiddleEasternBorder]

This game is Triceratops Testicles.

[Rkerekes13]

@MiddleEasternBorder Agreed!

[trans8010]

To this day I still cannot beat this fucking piece of awful rotten monkey dick sweat. This game sucks.

[ZyxthePest]

How does "Secret Rooms" constitute as a fucking feature?

[greatarts22]

The commercial is cool at least! i remember watching this!xDD

[newerajj]

I love how the freakin' commercial captured the dark aspect of the series whereas the actual movie crashed and burned.

[killer600000]

@newerajj The movie was actually a big success

[Jeffo717]

as awesome as the song is. its quite similar to one of the themes in Street Fighter 2 the animated movie. The one at the beginning when Ryu Hadoukens Sagat

[Daytripper2212]

i loved this ad as a kid. shame the game was a bit shitty

[AVGNnostalgiazilla00]

at the end of the ad where the gargoyle turns into batman and robin joins him and then batman jumps was the original end of the movie

[SuperLuigi111]

@AVGNnostalgiazilla00 really? cool.

[TheDmanWiThiN]

@AVGNnostalgiazilla00 it still freaks me out

[drrowley90]

this use 2 be on the begining of the vhs tape i loved it the music is the best even though the movie sucked good memorys thank u 4 puttin this up

[rejectofsoul24]

i love how the commercial is darker than the movie

[MarkTheGreat555666]

This song is so catchy and I remember it all these years 15 years ago. They should have had this song on the OST of the Dark Knight and I wish it was longer.

[leon102]

lol, Forever the Game.

[goldensolder44]

the movie is better than that shitty game

[Wh3nYour3Strang3]

This game wasn't the best, but I loved the music in it.

[Samson1091]

Wow I am surprised someone put this up. The jingle has echoed in my mind until I loaded this commercial.

[cyshadowx]

I used to love this game.

[GoldenFox67]

80 stages yeah right

[logan8020]

does anyone know the song??????

[lurch1066]

@logan8020 i have it as an mp3 message me if you want it

[526Gaijin]

@lurch1066 dude do you have this song as an mp3? could you send it to me? ive been looking for it forever.

[lurch1066]

@526Gaijin i have this as an mp3 on my ipod im just downloading it again as my wipod got wiped the other day :(

want it?

[526Gaijin]

@lurch1066 dude omg ill be ur friend for life lol.

[Rodeorigo]

This was the first game I rented from Blockbusters. I remember going inside, seeing the cover and running back out after stealing the box and yellling to my mother to get it.

Got home,played on it and threw it out the window in frustration and I was shit scared of all the mad inmates in Arkham and the creepy music,lol.

[Darthlongi]

"3d graphics"

lol!

[presleyj1]

I remember "Nobody Lay a Finger on my Butterfinger" If you missed it, watch the intro of the video again.

[jrptap]

The ending where he jumps of the building thats how the movie was gonna end but they cut it

[presleyj1]

it would of made a better ending,.

[christpunchers]

Fuck the haters, not the best game ever but the atmosphere was very very dark. And it was as hard as fuck.

[presleyj1]

I liked the game. The atmosphere was dark, much better than the movie.
