The Bat blasts into action.Based on the hit Animated show you as Batman battle your way thru 8 action packed levels.Each level has a different villain with many of the elements and plots based on episodes from the show.Levels like Jokers deadly funhouse,Poison ivys greenhouse,Penguins mueseum raid,Riddlers maze,Scarecrows fear gas attack,and a high pursuit chase in the Batmobile after Two-Face.Many cool items and gadgets are included such as Batmans gas mask,infra red goggles,batwing,and plastic explosives.The graphics are amazing and completely capture the animation show style.This is a game that you wont want to miss.

Konami was on a roll in the early 90s with licensed games, and The Adventures of Batman and Robin is probably the company at its best. Lovely animation that captures the look and feel of the show's art deco style, and an amazing score that blends Shirley Walker's theme with newly composed music that fits like a glove. Best was the gameplay, that actually let you do all the things you expect Batman to do, without ever being cumbersome or gimmicky. And you even had to solve minor puzzles and utilize gadgets!

It's much easier to get licensed games right these days, though few companies still do. And though Ubisoft did an admirable job on Vengeance and Sin Tzu, this is still the definitive animated Batman game for me. If you love the animated series, your collection isn't complete without this game.

Now where were we? Oh yeah, I just finished (sort of) reviewing the Genesis version. It's no surprise Konami made most of their non-sports titles different for every system in those days.
You can't play as Robin, okay? The game was originally going to be called Batman: The Animated Series, but the game's title changed with the show. I don't remember where Robin fits in, but I think he was kidnapped by Harley Quinn and The Joker. The SNES version is much slower than the Genesis', but that's not really a bad thing; it gives you time to think, which is actually required here. You start in the streets of Gotham city, into an amusement park, through Poison Ivy's forest, and . . . that's as far as I . . .

This Snes Game is the best batman game offered on SNES and blew the lame NES batman games out of the water...what ruined the nes games was batmans guns...he's a martial Artist, he doesn't use guns....In this SNES game theres a perfect balance between fighting and the use of a few gadgets i.e baterang, bat grapple ect the story lines are cool the game is awesome in all respects...only one player though...If you want thew best classic batman game this is it!!! it's one of the best games of it's time I highly recommend this game

Fun game that was slightly overlooked in the 90's. I don't know if I would say this game is better then Batman Returns, but it is pretty close. this game is quite rare and fluctuates in value, so I would pick up a copy while it is on the cheaper side right now.

I don't know why this review is showing twice. Website glitches, I guess.

I don't remember where Robin fits in, but I think he was kidnapped by Harley Quinn's "puddin" Mister J.

GO AWAY!! GET OUT!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!
