Meet The Batman
There’s been a bit of Batman stuff going on with ubercharged of late. Something about that Dark Knight flick. Mostly this new-age, angsty, emo Batman. The kids seem to like it.
Anyway, I figured it was about time we saw some classic old-school Batman stuff. I’m talking the retro 1960s version. You know, back when Batman was tubby; bat computers had like 3 dials on them, ate punch cards, and beeped a lot; and it wasn’t considered to be eco-terrorism to have an atomic powered Batmobile.
Yes, things were simpler then. Even mobile phones were a novelty only afforded to crime fighting super heroes.
So riDDimann gives us some scout batman action (he uses the “bat” only – get it… took me a minute to figure that out).
Some time ago playing Team Fortress 2 normally just didn’t cut it anymore. Somehow I ended up playing scout again. Bat only.
TF2 Danjo
And in other youtubery, PadSeeEw over at Fragwagon has unearthed this… I don’t even know what the hell this is. It’s like… GAH. Some Japanese pop to a bizairro TF2 anime video. BRAIN ASPLODE!
Stumble it!

About the Batman video, nice idea, bad execution: It lacks of “POINK’s” and batman-related stuff.
The Danjo, as the japanese say: kawai!! ^_^

That second video is simultaneously the most terrifying and most awesome thing I have ever seen.

The sad thing about the second video is that I understood a lot of the more obscure memes in it (e.g. Yukkuris, the pattern of said yukkuris appearing, and other stuff)

Here’s another version of the video with the same song, but different characters. It’s subbed, so you can understand the lyrics of the song.
Spoiler: Basically, Japanese school seating arrangement by gender, dan being male, jo being female. For the TF2 version, jo is the medic, and dan is any offensive/non-medic class.

Oh, the subtitles… it makes so much sense now – Thanks anonymous I can rest easy now.

I realize I’m getting old, but it’s funny how merely the sight of the old Batmobile gives a thrill.

My laughing turned to a face of horror after seeing that Japanese influenced video… The laughing came from the Batman video. Such a funny video. Man, why didn’t I think of that?!

In the first video, I like how when he hits people they seem to spurt cheese.

Personally, I found the Japanese Danjo video more hilarious then the TF2 Batman vid. It’s just more surreal and out of the ordinary, because, honestly, I’m used to seeing scouts rush in wielding only their bats.

Batman Video > Danjo Video.
Any questions?

Yeah. You got it wrong the first time. Here’s the real answer:
Danjo Video > Batman Video

In case any of you don’t know, Team Fortress 2 is released for the PS3 as well. But Valve seems to have forgotten this entirely and made no effort to update the PS3 version, which still has hordes of game-breaking bugs. Fortunately, there is the PC version and there are Japanese servers.
But seriously, everyone, including the characters, talk in Japanese. And the Japanese tend to use custom-made maps that involves doles of posters and Katamari crap.

Yes, the second video made my brain atrophy. But I have doubts about whether this video is the original one for this song, since there is one for Final Fantasy and one for even South Park.
But I kinda find it hilarious that they argued about the gender of the Pyro.
