Batman is a side-scrolling beat 'em up arcade game launched by Atari Games in 1991.
Gameplay
This title draws inspiration from the 1989 film, presenting levels set within iconic movie environments. Players experience segments controlling the Batmobile and Batwing from a first-person perspective. The game features voice samples of Batman (portrayed by Michael Keaton) and the Joker (played by Jack Nicholson), alongside digitized stills from the film. Combat involves using items such as batarangs and gas grenades to defeat foes and confront the Joker.
Development and release
While Konami also explored creating an arcade adaptation of the 1989 Batman film around the same time, Atari Games ultimately obtained the license after competing for it.
