This is an odd sort of game for the NES. Most superhero games tend to be based off of a comic, but this one was based off of the Batman movie from the late 80’s starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson.

Oddly enough, the game itself is actually pretty fun for a movie game. It’s a basic action title, with the player in the role of Batman. You run through levels, killing enemies and gaining powerups (in the form of various Bat-items, Batarangs and such), whilst also avoiding pitfalls. Every stage has two levels, and at the end of each stage you fight a boss.

Really, I can’t say that I expected much more out of the game, being an NES action game and all, but it’s definitely not a GREAT game. Still worth checking out though.
