Game Summary:
Batman Returns (バットマンリターンズ) is a 1993 beat ’em up video game developed and published by Konami for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, based on the 1992 film of the same name.

Description:

Leap with Batman into wild acrobatic battle! The Penguin has Gotham City gripped in his twisted flippers. Track the Dark Knight’s most feared enemies through intense search-and-destroy danger! Attack the deranged Red Triangle Circus Gang with the Caped Crusader’s own weapons. Swing on grappling hooks across collapsing rooftops. Pitch deadly Batarangs. Rage down goon-infested streets in the Batmobile. Waylay mobs of street thugs by hurling smoke bombs, wrist-shields and swarms of bats from Batman’s Utility Belt. Dodge Catwoman’s slashing claws and swinging kick. Duel with the homicidal Juggler. Fight murderous Gargoyles and machinegun-toting clowns. Then slog through poisoned sewers to a heart-stopping face-off in The Penguin’s lair!

Gameplay:

The game is a left-to-right scrolling fighter beat ’em up, a genre that was featured heavily on the console at the time. The gameplay and graphics are very similar to the Super Famicom port of Final Fight. The game takes the player through seven scenes featured in the film. Each scene has a boss fight that Batman must win in order to proceed to the next scene. Scene 1 takes place in Gotham’s Plaza, where Batman fights numerous Red Triangle Circus gangsters and saves Selina Kyle from the Stungun Clown who took her hostage. In Scene 2, Batman fights the Circus gang throughout Gotham City’s Streets, facing the Tattooed Strongman as the boss. Climbing on the rooftops of Scene 3, Batman encounters Catwoman, who escapes to an abandoned building where Penguin’s setting a trap for Batman, but he manages to take on Catwoman and Penguin on Scene 4. In Scene 5, Batman drives the Batmobile and uses a machine gun to destroy Penguin’s Campaign Van. Moving to Scene 6, Batman goes to the Circus Train and defeats Penguin’s right-hand man, the Organ Grinder. Penguin escapes to the abandoned Arctic World on Scene 7, where Batman destroys his Duck Vehicle and ultimately gains the upper hand on Penguin once and for all. Meanwhile, Catwoman escapes and watches as Batman gets called for another adventure. Various members of the Red Triangle Circus Gang attack Batman throughout the game. Batman has a number of weapons and moves at his disposal, including the batarang.
