About this game
Batman follows the route to the Joker’s hideout across stages divided into sublevels. Jump, duck and slide past obstacles while firing the wrist projector at enemies. Ammunition pickups change its attack, giving the weapon different ways to engage a target. Acquired ammunition can be charged by holding and releasing the attack button, although the starting shot cannot. Bosses gate progress at designated stage endings. A password viewed while paused lets you later resume from the beginning of the corresponding level rather than directly at its boss.
