Some serious nostalgic childhood memories in this game, makes you realize you never know the value of a moment until it becomes that, a memory

I've said it before. Sunsoft was most probably the most underated game developer and publisher in video game history. While everyone was singing Capcom and Konami's praise, Sunsoft was releasing outstanding game after game. Batman, Gremlins, Blaster Master, Adam's family, etc....

Yet Sunsoft sullied the hell out of their name come the 16 bit era. Took Capcom and Konami far longer to do that to themselves. Sunsoft's flame burned bright, but that flame died out pretty quickly once they started farming their games out to other developers, and picking up smaller devs games to release under the Sunsoft banner. The only games Sunsoft did right in the 16 bit era, were their Hebereke SFC/SNES games, and the first Batman and Superman on the Genesis.

@ovecka17

A mix of extra rom data on board the cartridge and clever use of palettes and especially dithering. First of all it had extra things that allowed it to switch through memory banks so it could have way more space to store the sprites and tiles allowing for much less repetition. The color palettes are also done very well, and the art uses a lot of completely black shadows which not only helps gives lots of atmosphere and create high contrast but it also makes it so you only need to allocate colors for the light sections allowing for more colors. Finally, this game uses dithering really well, making it look like theres way more colors than there are.

That wall climb was awesome in this game

The NES opening and climax drive home that Burton's vision of Batman was a really different character with a vendetta to end Joker's life for an extremely personal crime

It would be wonderful if this game was available on the Nintendo switch online

After watching this earlier today, I pulled it up on the emulator half an hour ago and... still couldn't get pass the second boss level, just like when I was 13, lol. My failure? If I don't make it to the machine boss with at or near the maximum level of "ammo" allowed (99), I fail miserably. And some of the jumps on the electrified ground in those preceding levels still seem impossible to make. Looking back, I don't think I'd necessarily want to return to the days of games being virtually unbeatable and requiring months of maddening failure to master... but it sure was a fun trip down memory lane!

One in my collection, and a very kickass game that time has been very kind to. Not many movie based games were all that great, Batman bucked that trend.

Even though Nintendo took a few sci-fi liberties that was not in the movie, with that they still were faithful to the core of the movie.
