  Batman comes to the NES but his effort wasn't totally satisfying

  By stanhigareda | Review Date: Jul 15, 2008 | NES

  Batman became a gold mine late in the 80's. Tim Burton's release brought back Batman to the scene, outside the comics, virtually after 30 years of lame series on TV. This situation brought us the possibility to play Batm... Read Full Review

  A very competent movie-liscensed game. All fans of platformers should pick it up.

  By coltard | Review Date: Sep 01, 2011 | NES

  When people hear the term "licensed software" they usually cringe. Although some games have had success like the Simpson's arcade game, and Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects, as well as countless Star Wars games. Ma... Read Full Review

  Probably one of the most under-appreciated licensed games on the Genesis.

  By Pirate_Higamaru | Review Date: May 19, 2011 | GEN

  I always get sort of annoyed when people say superhero games all suck. People have been revoking this statement as of late due to hits like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Marvel vs. Capcom 3. In all fairness, good superhero g... Read Full Review

  Batman goes on firearm fueled rampage, hundreds dead.

  Gotham Gazette June 19th 1990 Criminals in Gotham have yet another reason to fear the night. Apparently the Batman, the well-known symbol of hope and resilience against Gotham's criminal underground has given up his p... Read Full Review

  One of the most interesting and obscure Batman adventures in videogames. And it's shady as it should ever be.

  By julianozuca | Review Date: Jan 10, 2011 | NES

  The Good: Near-perfect controls; superb environment design; great original soundtrack; astounding platform action; Bob Kane wouldn't be ashamed of this one. The Bad: Little variety of regular enemies along the game; m... Read Full Review

  After spending more time with this game, I've seen the light!

  By Hyper_Sonic_987 | Review Date: Oct 01, 2010 | NES

  Storyline: N/A I could tell there was some storyline about it, but not worth rating it on. Gameplay: 9/10 The gameplay is excellent. 3 different weapons=3 different ways to inflict pain on your enemies! The wall-jum... Read Full Review

  One of the best batman games in the series!

  By XxXDlowXxX | Review Date: Sep 25, 2010 | NES

  Now, Batman has a bad reputation in the video game world, however this game is actually a good Batman game. The only problem I have with it is the difficulty. This game is VERY hard. It took me a lot of patience to be... Read Full Review

  If you can handle the game's difficulty and look past the graphics, it certainly is worth a play.

  By KrazzyDJ | Review Date: Sep 14, 2009 | NES

  This apparently, was one of the first Batman games to ever hit the NES (and most definitely, the first one I ever played). I ended up getting a mixed feeling about it because although it has some good points, it has so... Read Full Review

  The ONLY Batman game worth mentioning (PEROID)!!!

  By ajchicago | Review Date: May 08, 2009 | NES

  Story: The Plot is not explained but if you watched the 1989 film the game is based on then you already know whats going on. But either way it should be very self explanetory. Beat up bad guys move to the next level til... Read Full Review

  It really is the perfect Batman game, if there ever was one.

  By Kazzop | Review Date: Apr 09, 2009 | NES

  This game would become the predocessor to Return Of The Joker on the NES, that game was slightly inferior and an extremely hard game. This game really reminds me of the Mega Man games on the NES, it has similar weapons, ... Read Full Review
