About This Game
This Sega CD exclusive expands upon the 16-bit console versions with enhanced audio-visuals, including redbook audio tracks and animated story sequences between levels. Players alternate between controlling Batman and Robin across 7 stages filled with gadgets, vehicle sections, and classic villains like Joker and Two-Face.
The game stands out for its faithful adaptation of the animated series' art style, with detailed sprite work that replicates Bruce Timm's iconic character designs. The Sega CD's hardware allows for atmospheric music and voice samples that heighten the comic book atmosphere.
Notable for its difficulty and emphasis on puzzle-solving alongside combat, this version includes exclusive stages and boss fights not found in other console releases. The driving stages utilize the Sega CD's scaling capabilities for pseudo-3D effects.
