The gameplay is similar to Final Fight, Captain Commando, Cadillacs And Dinosaurs, and Batman.

A few of the weapons that can be used throughout the game are the Bat-a-rang, Batrope, Gas Gun, and the Metal Cutter. When a platform is higher than your character can jump, fire the Batrope upwards.

Trivia

This game was released as a conversion kit. Rumor has it that 1000 were made. It is based upon the movie of the same name.

Even though there is another game called Batman, the two are technically unrelated to each other since they were created by different companies.

Cabinet Information

The monitor bezel shows some photo stills from the movie. The control panel is somewhat shaped like the bat symbol.

Miscellaneous

The game was designed by Iguana Entertainment.
