The Adventures of Batman & Robin on SNES was awesome when I was a kid, but man, it hasn't aged well. The graphics are actually pretty cool, and it captures the vibe of the cartoon nicely. But the controls are clunky, the levels are confusing, and it's way too hard! For nostalgia and die-hard Batman fans, it might be worth a try, but most people will probably get frustrated pretty quick.
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.
(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.

I can't pass Two-Face's car chase :/
This game walked so the Arkham games could run.
Every stage is unique. Every boss fight is different. They could have given us a classic beat 'em up with Batman villains and called it a day but they didn't. They labored over this and somehow captured what made the show so special in the first place. It's not perfect. But it's close.

Seeing that this is the best game based on the best version of the character, I’d say this is high up there as one of the best Batman, and superhero, games ever.
I've always really loved this game, it felt like i was smack dab in the middle of the actual batman cartoon!
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.

One of the best Batman games. Beautifully animated and with satisfying gameplay. Super underrated.
É um jogo bacana, porém difícil.
Early Jesper Kyd industrial bangers right here. I get pumped up just listening to the intro.
