Dos versiones muy distintas. la se Snes es un best em up 2D con plataformeo, niveles variados (a veces frustrantes como el del acertijo) pero un juego que con el tiempo se termina amando, aunque requiere usar la cabeza mas de una vez. el de Genesis es un jump and shoot, un shooter 2D donde Batman y Robin tienen las manos llenas de batarangs y los disparan como si fueran infinitos (spoiler, lo son) un enfoque mas arcade que el de nintendo, mas entretenido y para jugar sin necesidad de sacar las neuronas del empaque

When you talk about a Batman game you don't think about throwing projectiles all over the place. But here we are. The game still has a great fanservice so get ready to see alot of familiar faces.

The gameplay mechanics work great.There are run and gun levels with occasional shoot em up sections. You can get 3 projectiles and power them up.
My biggest tip would be sticking to one projectile ,max it and keep it as long as possible. It is especially essential to shoot em up levels imo.

The game is really really hard even from the very first level so satisfaction you get from beating it or even getting far feels great.

The visuals push the hardware to its limit with almost no slowdown.
The soundtrack is pretty much god tier. It might not suit for Batman but it sure hell does fit for this game.

That Mad Hatter boss fight still gives me goosebumps.
One of the best run and guns I have ever played.

This run and gun is hard as balls! So definitely bring two players for this one, as "The Adventures of Batman and Robin" can be exceptionally brutal to beat on your own, let alone with a friend. The game features the animated series adaptation of Batman and its sidekick Robin, as well as many of its foes, including the Joker, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, the Mad Hatter, and Mr. Freeze. Each with their own levels, the most unforgiving being the Mad Hatter level, although Two-Face's can be quite exhausting to beat, taking up to half the game's playtime with a messy shoot 'em up sequence. The sprites of each character are 1:1 representations of their animated series counterpart, with some of the best graphics on Genesis. The soundtrack of Jesper Kyd is unique to its console, bringing a cybergoth dark techno rave to its Yamaha sound chip. While the game is not quite unknown, we believe it is definitely an underrated classic and unfairly obscured based on its merit.

First of all let it be known that the Genesis and Super Nintendo "versions" are in fact completely different games. The Super Nintendo is a platformer + beat em up, whereas the Genesis version de-emphasizes platforming and focuses more on shooting, though the gameplay is still styled like a beat em up where you have to KO all the enemies before you can move to the right, and you can do melee attacks when enemies are close. The Super Nintendo version is pretty good, but for me the Genesis version is mostly truly great. Sick graphics with cool 3D effects, badass dark and heavy music, and it's one of those games where your shot is more powerful if you wait a couple seconds to attack which I usually find quite fun. Despite being released in 1995 it's about as difficult as the average NES action game. If you can handle that though, definitely give it a go. I'm only docking my rating half a star because some of the levels go on for too long, like the flying shooter level which goes on for about 15 minutes before introducing a three-phase boss fight.

As I've said before, Backloggd needs to improve it's entry system. SNES version is a different game altogether to the Mega Drive version. And while the Sega CD version has similarities to the MD version, it is still ultimately different and needs to be judged differently. Let's not even start with the Game Gear version not even being 16-bit, so that's a different world altogether.

SNES: ***1/2
Sega MD: TBD
Sega CD: TBD
Sega GG: TBD

I have memories as a little me (4/5 years old) playing this game on my older cousin's Sega Genesis and not being able to beat even level 1. Still, the game stuck with me and a few years later, when my parents bought me my Sega Genesis (btw, my first ever gaming console), i looked for this cartridge everywhere. There' were A LOT of other Batman-based games at the time for Sega Genesis, and sadly none of them was even close to this one. I got to play a few of them during my childhood. Probably my parents went to the store to buy some Batman game i asked, and they came home with another Batman game that wasn't this one. Internet wasn't what it is right now.

So i finally got to play this one after decades, and i got to say it's incredibly fun, it has some fantastic mechanics, it's essentially a run and gun game (most of the other batman games were essentially platform oriented beat em ups), great music, and it's one of the best-looking games in the Genesis. It's also VERY hard.

Couldn't finish it because the levels after the shoot em up section (which is excesively long in my opinion) were a bit awful in my opinion, and ended up losing my interest honestly. Also because of how frustrating the final bosses can be.

But still, i think this game deserves to be played, it has aged fairly well and it's definitely one of the landmarks not just for Sega Genesis but also for the Batman franchise in the 90s.

P.S: As many have noted, the SNES version is, in fact, a completely different game. I played it a bit, it's also another beat em up, with a whole nicer aesthetic and feel to it than the other Batman beat em ups, but it didn't really grabbed my attention anyway.

Played the SNES version which is very different from the Sega genesis version
loved the art style adaptation from the animated series , every stage is unique in theme and gameplay ending with a boss fight
The bossfights are the highlight of the game they are designed in a way that if you know what you're doing you can easily beat them but if you rush it they can be a real pain in the rear end
In the end I'd love to mention the Batmobile twoface stage which is by far the worst stage in the game and it really deserves all the hate it gets

(Original review from December 12, 2022)

The SNES game programmed by Konami is a letdown in comparison to the Genesis version. Despite more variety in gameplay, the actual action the game wants to portray is made into a generic looking brawler with enemies that have patterns so boring it feels harder than the Genesis version because you simply lose interest. Joker as the final boss is one of the most anticlimactic things I've seen in my life

Visually, it has better characther animation than the Genesis version and sometimes pretty cool lightning effects (like the museum level when the lights are shut off or the fight against Catwoman in the elevator) but because it's more inspired by the animated TV series, the simple art deco style is translated into a frankly unremarkable visual show-off.

If I wanted to see the series' limited animation visuals, I would be watching that because the stories and script were good, but if I have to play a simple action game with some puzzle elements, you need to make me say "wow" like the Genesis version did, not doing a Spy Hunter looking level at the end of the 16 bit era.
