Oh where to begin with the awfulness of this game.

The sad thing is that it promises so much with its colorful cover design, and initially delivers nice-looking sprites in the first few seconds of gameplay. But then you kill a bad guy for the first time and you just end up going 'What? Why did the bad guy just disappear into a pink blob?'

No kidding, Batman himself even meets the same end when you lose a life. And what's with the pink armband and crappy weapons coming out of it?

The first level is a LOT like the final stage of the Batman Movie video game from 1989. I don't mind clichés in platform games (moving floors, bottomless pits etc) but this is just going through the tired, chunky motions.

There were a few good Batman games made for the Mega Drive/Genesis. This isn't one of them.

This is the Sega Genesis version of the same game that was released on the 8-Bit Nintendo!!! The Nintendo version is the one to get! You would think that the developers/programmers would have at least used some of Sega's 16-Bit power to made the game better in at least one aspect??? Making the graphics bigger is not that important. The controls are very sluggish and the difficulty is steap making for a frustrating combo. The pros of the game are few and far between. If you are an avid collector of Batman videogames then go ahead. It's not the worst game ever made for the Genesis console but it's barely passable fun.

This is a poor game. It has very little to do with Batman or The Joker. It does not use Batarangs, Cape glide grappling hook or anything else that has anything to do with Batman. You simply has some stupid thing attached to your wrist that fires stuff. It is also very hard and very tedious. I could not even be bothered to play it past the 2nd level thats how [bad] it is.

THE SEQUEL TO BATMAN BASED ON THE MOVIE BACK IN 1989 I CAN ASSUME THAT THE JOKER IS NOT DEAD THAT IS WHY THIS GAME IS MADE LIKE AN UNOFFICAL SEQUEL THE CHARACTERS ARE MUCH LARGER, THE WEAPONS HOWEVER COULD BE A LITTLE MORE POWERFUL THE GRAPHICS MAKE IT SEEM LIKE A LITTLE RETRO AS FAR AS BATMANS & THE JOKERS COSTUME THE GENESIS VERSION IS LIKE THE NINTENDO VERSION EXCEPT THE GRAPHICS ARE 8BIT NOT 16 BIT THE GENESIS VERSION IS FAR BETTER THE SUBTITLE FOR THE 8 BIT IS RETURN OF THE JOKER THE GENESIS VERSION IS REVENGE OF THE JOKER
