I have memories as a little me (4/5 years old) playing this game on my older cousin's Sega Genesis and not being able to beat even level 1. Still, the game stuck with me and a few years later, when my parents bought me my Sega Genesis (btw, my first ever gaming console), i looked for this cartridge everywhere. There' were A LOT of other Batman-based games at the time for Sega Genesis, and sadly none of them was even close to this one. I got to play a few of them during my childhood. Probably my parents went to the store to buy some Batman game i asked, and they came home with another Batman game that wasn't this one. Internet wasn't what it is right now.
So i finally got to play this one after decades, and i got to say it's incredibly fun, it has some fantastic mechanics, it's essentially a run and gun game (most of the other batman games were essentially platform oriented beat em ups), great music, and it's one of the best-looking games in the Genesis. It's also VERY hard.
Couldn't finish it because the levels after the shoot em up section (which is excesively long in my opinion) were a bit awful in my opinion, and ended up losing my interest honestly. Also because of how frustrating the final bosses can be.
But still, i think this game deserves to be played, it has aged fairly well and it's definitely one of the landmarks not just for Sega Genesis but also for the Batman franchise in the 90s.
P.S: As many have noted, the SNES version is, in fact, a completely different game. I played it a bit, it's also another beat em up, with a whole nicer aesthetic and feel to it than the other Batman beat em ups, but it didn't really grabbed my attention anyway.
