YOU CONTROL THE ACTION! Using a combination of brains and brawn, you decide the fate of Gotham City as you strategically lead Batman on his mission to eradicate violence and mayhem. Operating out of the top secret Batcave, you'll use smoke bombs, Batarangs, x-ray goggles and all the weapons your utility belt can hold as you swing across rooftops and dash through dark alleys, tracking down the elusive Catwoman.

I've always really loved this game, it felt like i was smack dab in the middle of the actual batman cartoon!

I was really looking forward to this and it doesn't disappoint. One thing the snes does really well are animated style graphics. As well as looking exactly like the TV show you have at your control a great character and a lot of cool weapons to flip through and play with but bizarrely no option to play as Robin, despite the title. Aside from that it's surprisingly close to the episodes themselves, lots of easter eggs for fans. Definitely a keeper.

Aluguei muitas vezes quando criança mas nunca fiz muito progresso. Finalmente me dei a oportunidade jogar até o fim.

O jogo toma a estética da série Batman: A Série Animada e eles acertaram em cheio. Tudo é extremamente bonito e bem animado, a pixel art é maravilhosa e a trilha acompanha bem o desenho. Absolutamente nenhuma crítica aqui nesse quesito. Eu acho meio bobo o Robin estar no título e na capa do jogo, ele aparece 2x e mal tem relevância lol.

O jogo é mais um beat'em up e esse é bem mais honesto que a maioria que eu joguei. Controles são bons e é um jogo divertido no geral. Eles conseguem variar bastante a jogabilidade dentro do possível, mas no fim o jogo ainda sofre com dificuldade barata e mortes toscas sem sentido. Tem esses momentos péssimos extremamente cheap que o jogo se torna rapidamente frustrante (boss fight do Riddler......) mas é engraçado que mesmo com isso eu ainda me diverti simplesmente pela arte e animações do jogo que carregam ele nas costas.

(Original review from December 12, 2022)

The SNES game programmed by Konami is a letdown in comparison to the Genesis version. Despite more variety in gameplay, the actual action the game wants to portray is made into a generic looking brawler with enemies that have patterns so boring it feels harder than the Genesis version because you simply lose interest. Joker as the final boss is one of the most anticlimactic things I've seen in my life

Visually, it has better characther animation than the Genesis version and sometimes pretty cool lightning effects (like the museum level when the lights are shut off or the fight against Catwoman in the elevator) but because it's more inspired by the animated TV series, the simple art deco style is translated into a frankly unremarkable visual show-off.

If I wanted to see the series' limited animation visuals, I would be watching that because the stories and script were good, but if I have to play a simple action game with some puzzle elements, you need to make me say "wow" like the Genesis version did, not doing a Spy Hunter looking level at the end of the 16 bit era.

One of the best Batman games. Beautifully animated and with satisfying gameplay. Super underrated.

I can't pass Two-Face's car chase :/
