(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.
