Neat video showing what the Dark Knight opening would look like as an NES game.

A decent interpretation of the Dark Knight in only 256 colours!

The flashing bits had me look away from the screen though, other than that, brilliant!

Kinda cool, but the excessive use of flickering effects gave me a seizure.

Nice conversion! 256 colors indeed.

Damn, that brings back some memories...

The fadeouts and the flickering had to be coded by hand, it's incredible. If I remember correctly, the assembly programmer has to trigger an IRQ interrupt for the flickers, and an non-maskable(NMI) interrupt for the fade-out/fade-in. The interrupts didn't actually cause the effects, one had to write and access PPU registers for that, after the triggers, that is.

Ah, I might just go back to the good old days for a day or two

Thats awesome brings me back to the old days although I agree the flickering is going to give me a seizure one of these days.

Sorta. The SNES supported things like transparency in hardware.

I'm drujnk, so pardon my spelling mistakes.

You sure this is legit NES? I think NES only allowed 64 colors onscreen (4 per sprite). I think Genesis allowed 256 simultaneous onscreen.

SWouldn't this bee Dark Knight GENESIS?

Well, I just went by the title, I didn't dig into it but according to http://fms.komkon.org/EMUL8/NES.html, it's 16 simultaneous colors.

"Note that only two bits for each pixel of each tile are stored in the Pattern Table. Other two are taken from the Attribute Table. Thus, the total number of simultaneous colors on the NES screen is 16, although each tile has only 4 colors"
