About this game

Batman pursues the Joker through Gotham City and locations such as the Axis chemical factory. You move across each area, jump past obstacles and confront enemies with punches or optional projectile weapons. The Batarang returns after being thrown, while another weapon attacks in three directions. These weapons draw from shared ammunition at different rates, so the choice affects more than attack shape. The original NES controls also let you switch weapons during play and pause the action.
