Batman Returns is a Final Fight style game, based on the hit movie. It has fairly good graphics, and is not bad if you like brawlers.
-----
The Caped Crusader returns in this 1992 beat 'em up based on Tim Burton's hollywood hit Batman Returns. Konami does a wonderful job in translating the artistic style of the original film into SNES form, and enjoys the amenity of having the original film's music. For a beat 'em up, this game can be quite challenging at times, but is one of the better Batman games available. The game features several cutscenes, a Batmobile chase level, and five different levels of difficulty. - J.D. Smith
