Forgotten DC and Batman Video Games 

Fun fact. It was the Green lantern movie game that eventually lead to Microsoft to hire the developers to help them make the 2013 Killer Instinct game since they liked the combat.

As a huge hockey fan hearing Austin whiff on pronouncing Lemieux gave me a good laugh 😅

The Justice League and Justice Society are totally separate teams

Yes, I watched Blue Beetle. It genuinely deserved better than being the latest punchline for DC movies. Maybe if people who joked about no one watching it actually did go check it out. Jokes aside, a Blue Beetle game could be pretty neat. Shame it's likely not gonna happen any time soon.

The Brave And The Bold was a cartoon *also* after my time but it's 100% worth a watch, especially if you're a big fan of those "wait, who the hell is THIS guy" moments that lead you down wikipedia rabbit holes. Extremely minor and weird characters pop up all the time and they're always funny.

The Mummy Demastered is a great metroidvania made to promote Tom Cruise's movie, a film that I actively warned my parents to not watch it when it went to stream, they ignored me and apologize for not listening to me every time they remember it exists.

the way you pronounced mario lemieux name...lmao

Dang, Austin really hustlin' with this many vids.

Great selection of games. Just surprised there was no mention of the Batman Begins game as I think that also fits the bill of a forgotten DC and Batman video game and is surprisingly good.

FunFact: Titus bought Infograms in 99. After Titus went bankrupt Infograms bought all Titus assets. So Infograms = Titus. Also would not surprise me if they used part of Superman 64s code for their superman game

Unlike other RU-vidrs, Austin digs for something special for us that we haven’t seen before. *Good thing I subbed this channel*

Man I remember getting that Green Lantern game you ended off the video with & I'm so glad my dad returned it after a week or so, it was a janky mess (from memory) & none of us wanted to play it at all.

I want Jon Moxley to come out to the Swamp Thing theme song.

It's about time you did DC games 😁😁

How are you able to put out such interesting, high-quality videos so often?? It's honestly baffling, Damn, I forgot how hard the soundtracks for the early Batman games go.

"Gopher mote? You could have turned into a dinosaur and you could have turned into lava but your solution to rescue my son was a ****ing GOPHER MOTE?!" - Adult swim's parody of the wonder twins was amazing.

So apologies on that one, I KNOW I JUMBLE SOME WORDS. OTHER THAN THAT, what's your favorite DC Superhero? It's hard not to say Batman for me, but for real Kyle Rayner is dope.

I like how in the mud DC as a brand is, even in the title of the video he had to put in Batman just so people would be interested

Funny that this came out the same day they announced that Gotham Knights is coming to game pass, a game I had no intent to play until I watched your video about it which made me somewhat interested. DCUO is also getting a next gen release which means that it'll likely continue to somehow be better than the majority of modern live services.

Batman Forever the Arcade Game is a perfect game and one who never performs an item crash as Batman is one who never knows wholeness

OKAY SOMEONE ELSE WHO WAS WEIRDLY SPOOKED BY "THE DEATH AND RETURN OF SUPERMAN" FINALLY NOW I CAN LIVE AT PEACE KNOWING THERE'S ANOTHER

I was just shocked that they made a "good enough" Batman Forever game. I still have nightmares of the five minutes I played of the platformer almost 30 years back.

Clearly none of them will ever compare to the masterpiece that is Superman 64. Though to get serious, one of the most elusive DC Comics based games is a GameBoy Color game based on a lesser known DC Character named Sgt. Rock. The game was called Sgt. Rock on the Frontline, and it’s so odd that this lesser-known character got a video game.

Another fantastic video. I love how you show games from so many different generations. Makes for great content of someone my age (37) lol keep up the good work 👍🏻

I can't believe Gotham City Imposters didn't make the list! My brother and I bought a second PS3 just so we could play this game together! We were obsessed and nobody I know has even heard of it

Honestly I'd love to hear a Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms review. Those were some of my favorite games growing up and I feel like they aren't talked about enough

That Swamp Thing song is one of the most insane things I've ever heard. I can't believe that got made at all. Also that they didn't get sued. Absolutely hilarious.

one of your best videos, i love your channel! it’s really hard for me to click on new videos and learn something about video games and get new information, but you always hook us up

ill never understand how Austin is able to pump out so much content with such high quality

The old DC logo. That takes me back. To better days.

While the combat in Death of Superman is pretty basic, there is a counter to punches not hitting multiple foes. You always have four throw moves in every direction available, and those do hit multiple opponents. It's about as good as Maximum Carnage.

I’m so appreciative when a new Austin video comes out, love it man!

Thanks Austin, get well soon. Always enjoy your videos, truly unlocks memories more than my phycologist ever could

Love that you referenced the crossover and the call to Lambaste! First time I've seen anyone mention it.

Thanks for putting out a video despite being sick. Hope you get better soon!

It's amazing how you're able to put out content this good this consistency.

Last october I played Blade, Hellboy, and Constantine games and Constantine impressed me the most in terms of level design and keeping a creepy atmosphere

The Super Friends also painted my perception of the Justice League, and DC in general. Took me years to realize what I was missing out on.

My favorite comics involving John Constantine are actually The Sandman by Neil Gaiman. Absolutely fantastic stuff all around, and you get some backstory on him, his mother, and how he got to be who/what he was.

I just platinumed Justice League Cosmic Chaos this week and it was a TON of fun. Especially for a kids game, it had a hood amount of depth, difficulty and LORE. It is STEEPED in DC continuity.

I still remember the 10/10 line from the Constantine game. "I've got to get the hell out of Hell." Not sure if that was from the movie but the delivery in the game is the best.

The Constantine game was pretty cool. It freaked me out when I was a kid with its atmosphere and chants.

The Co-Op Superman being red is probably a reference to an old Superman comic that had him split into Red and Blue versions. Not the 90s one, a much older one.

Thanks for pumpin this out while sick boy!

Dang, Austin. You've been on a roll for the past months, each vid a banger! And man, didn't know there were 7 DIFFERENT Batman Returns games.

35:21 Green Lanturn: Rise of the Manhunturns (Jokes aside, good video! Always look forward to a release from you!)

I actually remember playing Batman Forever: The Arcade Game on an old PS1 when I was still in primary school It has been years since I played the game that I forgot about it until 2020

God what an awesome video! First off Austin, I'm supposed to be playing Starfield NOT remembering that I still need to play Champions Of Norath & BG Dark Alliance! And now like 30 other games I have never even seen before. I've never watched a video that had so many games I missed in their generation(s). I've got a busy couple days ahead of me!

The Green Lantern game raises an interesting topic. How many video game adaptations, so often a downgrade, are better than the source material?

another Austin Eruption video. always a treat

The PS3 version of Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters deserved more love for how fun its coop is!

Thank you for talking abou Shadow of Apokolips. I swear I was going crazy thinking I was the only one to actually play that game cause the most I ever see it get brought up is just when it's lumped in with every other Superman game and never anything specific about it. I could never get past the dam level as a kid cause the part where you're supposed to push the part back in just didn't work for me no matter how hard I button mashed.

Justice League Task Force for the Genesis had an EPIC intro and soundtrack.

hearing the kyle rayner shoutout at the beginning made me shout YEAYUUUUUGHHHH at the screen. hell yeah bro

One game that you missed in the Superman section: the PS2 era Superman Returns tie-in game. It’s not good, exactly, but it does have one pretty interesting idea that could be implemented in future Superman games. Namely, the player’s health bar *isn’t* Superman’s, it’s Metropolis’s. Superman can be knocked back or knocked down, but can’t be meaningfully harmed, but the squishy civilians trapped in burning buildings or in the middle of a Metallo rampage sure can be.

As a Scottish person, hearing “The Jobbiest of Jobbers” said out loud made me laugh way too hard

I’ve been waiting for so long for you to talk about Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters. You’ve mentioned it a couple of times, but never in depth, and it’s one of my favorite games.

The mobile game for “The Dark Knight Rises” will always be goated. Absolutely loved that game. Replayed it constantly.

17:22 the change in accent got me lol

Damn Austin these videos are so good good job! Lookin sharp in that cowboy hat too

Love your videos, Austin! I always wondered what that Green Lantern video game was like... If you do that Batman video you mentioned, I hope you discuss Batman and Robin on PS1 and Batman VR. Oh and if you need another video idea, I would recommend finding games that are based on Mecha. Whether its anime centered or western designed, I think with the small resurgence of mecha coming to video games and TV, it would be a cool video to watch!

Loving your new series of content!

"Le Mew" - That pronunciation made my 41 year old ass die inside a little, lol.

Lmfao, "Sorry y'all, I'm a 90s kid" I'm using that whenever I get into any situation.

Oooo fun Hope you feel better soon Austin

Hope you feel better, sinus infections are horrible, great video as usual 🎉

Always a good day when Austin uploads !!!

Good job Austin! dope Video

I love you Austin, your vids make my life better 🙏

I've never seen gameplay of Green Lantern before, but it does look interesting. Might give it a go whenever I get back on my PS3.

For anyone interested in fighting games, there's an INCREDIBLE fangame called TMNT x Justice League Turbo that mixes the game mentioned in this video with the TMNT fighting fame of the SNES, adding a bunch of new systems and shiny flair. It is so good. A lovely way to keep the legacy of the game alive

Really appreciate the output lately.

Fun fact, Condor and Blizzard made both games without knowing about eachother until at an expo. Then they realized how similar their games were and decided to become blizzard. Condor went on to make Diablo as Blizzard North.

Batman Vengeace really was something special to me

"I WANT MY MOM! 😡" I swear I thought one of the soldiers on the balcony said that.

Justice League Task Force was my first introduction to Green Arrow. I was early-90's X-Men craze helped get me into comics, but I was a Marvel fan because of it, and exposure to the DC was just Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Aquaman. Green Arrow was a complete unknown to me.

Lol my random licensed game obsession recently ended with me having most of the games in this video already. Even got green lantern all achievements (even though that’s quite easy).

You earned my subscription with the Darkwing Duck reference. 😂

35:23 Ah yes, my favorite franchise. The Manhunterns

The Superman Returns game had an interesting solution to the whole "Superman is OP, plz nerf" thing: they made Metropolis itself vulnerable rather than Supes. If Rocksteady Games wants to make a Superman equivalent to the Arkham games, perhaps they should turn to that for ideas.

Next game is the 2015 Infinite Crisis? Oh gawd incredible!

Man, I actually love Justice League Heroes. I like that Ultimate Alliance and X-Men Legends allow you to make your own team, but them you have characters with vastly different powers interacting with the same places. In JLH, you have Superman and Wonder Woman in Space handling stuff Batman, Flash or Zatanna aren't suited for. This also allows for the dialogue to reflect the specific hero duo, location and bad guys you're facing. The build system was very interesting to me, I experimented with it a lot and got very satisfied when things worked just right. My only problem was when I checked online for guides and got to min-max everything. I think the story is pretty decent, but mostly the interactions and dynamic between the heroes. It kinda feels like a JL/JLU episode. And I actually love how that game initially kicked my ass. Lots of games like that are just a walk in the park or filled with damage sponges that just couldn't ever kill you. JLH really had me to change how I acted based on the character I was playing. Most of all, I played that game mostly using co-op, but I also had fun with single player because I had unlocked other characters and built them up at least a bit.

I actually played the Death and Return of SuperMan growing up! I had no idea what the name was though, I’m glad it showed up

Great vid! I'd love to see you cover Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu. I think it would be right at home here on this channel.

Batman Vengeance has different combos. I also thought at first that it didn't but in combat the jump button becomes a kick and Batman also has some special moves that use the meter below your health.

Swamp Thing is COOL THAT'S WHY!!!! (BTW Bruce Campbell just wrote a miniseries about Sgt. Rock fighting an army of zombies)

The Green Lantern game is sooo much fun, especially with a friend

Holy frick bruh....I IMMEDIATELY remembered Justice League Heroes yo. I had it! That's CRAZY....wow

You've been spoiling us for so long. Appreciate you papa eruption ❤

I'm a 90's kid too, but I love Super Friends

Death and Return of Superman was my favorite game as a kid.

I didn't even know a Constantine game existed at all!? Justice League Heroes was fun though.

Sunsoft basically had a huge deal with Warner Bros until 1995 when the American division went bankrupt, it's why Task Force got published by Akklaim. They also did a majority of all the Looney Tunes games during that time as well, Looney Tunes B-Ball was one of the last ones they did

I have a physical copy of “the end is nigh” came on a bluray with the movie

The only movie game tie-in I liked which it doesn't have to do with the movie is 'The Mummy Demastered' by wayforward its surprisingly good for a movie game tie-in

Being able to hear people beg Superman for help is probably the one real thing they actually put in that game. Can you imagine beans ham and hearing people for miles and miles and miles away dying and crying and asking for help? That it would suck

This sounds kinda weird but when he says "If you arent atleast 33 years old you probably have no idea what i just said." I though it was kinda weird how specific that number was...until i remembered how he said he was a 90's kid, Which might mean he was born in 1990, Which would make him now...33 years old. So what I'm saying is that he might've quite literally just said that if you are younger than him, You have no idea what he's talking about. 😂

The movie flopping led to the superior tie-in cartoon, Green Lantern: The Animated Series, to get cancelled before it finished its planned storyline. Also, we were supposed to get an MMORPG video game based on it that would've had the Controllers as the main villains.

I'm a big green lantern fan which is probably why I never hated any of the green lantern movie tie-in games hahaha. Any opportunity to play as Sinestro ima take

I hope you do a Sunsoft video, that'd be awesome! Soooo much good music
