There are other games that bear this title, but the two I mentioned are the ones worth tracking down. The Sega Genesis version is a run ‘n’ gun action extravaganza that is as chaotic as it is exciting. Plus, there are interesting tidbits for fans such as using the actual riddles from the Riddler episodes. The SNES version perfectly recreates the Bruce Timm style from the animated series, and the levels are a joy to look at. This is a tad confusing because there are actually two games with this title - one on SNES and the other on Sega Genesis - and both of them are thoroughly enjoyable in immensely different ways. The Adventures of Batman & Robin (1994, 1995)
It’s not a masterpiece of a game, but it’s much better than the majority of movie tie-ins. It’s a device that helps sell the intimidating presence of Batman in ways other games hadn’t capitalized on. The game also uses a unique mechanic in which Batman must increase the “fear level” of his opponents before engaging them battle. For a movie tie-in game to nab that many members of the cast back then was a feat worth praising. Yes, that means this game features Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Tom Wilkinson, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, and Morgan Freeman. When it comes to the cast, nearly every lead actor voiced their corresponding character in the video game. Batman Begins has a surprisingly strong pedigree on two fronts: the cast and the “fear” system. Christopher Nolan’s reboot of the Batman franchise didn’t just reinvigorate the Caped Crusader on movie screens, it also give him a new life in the world of video games.
