Good review.
Also. I might have been the only one who noticed this while playing the game and I may be wrong, but the very first portrait of Joker that's shown looks like Cesar Romero. In every other cutscene, the Joker looks like Jack Nicholson. Coincidence or were they paying respect?

Are you talking the one before level 4? If so, then I don't see the resemblance. Don't remember ol' Cesar's face being so goofy....well. not goofy as but you get my point.
If the Sunsoft guys really want to pay tribute to Jack Nicholas' predecessor, they'd emphasize his infamous painted on mustache. :p

Saw no mention of ROTJ actually being "Dynamite Batman" in Japan.
Also, that link to the cutscenes section. Maybe put it in the description as well?

The review is good and I enjoyed it. A few criticisms about the view though... The part mentioning AVGN made me roll my eyes. Isn't it beating a dead horse to complain about AVGN, and even more so when his reviews are just for entertainment? It felt unnecessary. This is the only video I've seen of yours, but I have to say you're talking too softly with the mic too close to your mouth (can hear your breath on certain parts of your pronunciation and such) gives the effect like you're holding your nose while you're talking - nasally (unless you currently have a cold or something). Talking louder with mic farther away would probably help (project your voice loudly and from your mouth/chest). A couple parts felt uncomfortably forced and/or little bit awkward, but definitely not a big deal. Anyway, that's my impression of the video.

It's my honest thoughts on what I disagreed about his Return of the Joker and not something I tend to do out of habit.

Yeah the mic is the most troubling obstacle when making these reviews especially when its close to the mouth picking up all the pops, thuds, what other little sounds my mouth makes.
Sadly, I've tried all those suggestions you mentioned. Speak loudly and my voice sounded raspy and crackly. Other types were not as helpful. Though my left earpiece in my headset is busted might be time to look for a new mic. So, I may look back to those options.
