This seems to be more popular than I had assumed. I think it is the third Batman game I've done thus far, but the other two have less plays on here. I do prefer them, but this one is pretty cool too for sure. It reminds me a lot of Journey to Silius in particular, which is very nice compared to a lot of the NES library.

Just one thing, it's absurdly fucking hard. Like, brutal for 80s standards even. Manageable early on, but the clock tower for example is a total nightmare as are the two last bosses directly afterwards (and if you have to use a continue on them, you're back at the start of the tower). It's not as hard as like, Battletoads or Ghosts n' Goblins or something, but it's definitely worth a mention and not super far off from those two. I'd probably like it more if it was a bit toned down in that field, but maybe I'm just a scrub or whatever.
