Unlike its predecessor, Batman Forever on the SNES was a poor movie cash-in that featured boring beat 'em up gameplay, average graphics, and a ridiculous soundtrack. It doesn't hold up well now, and it didn't back when it launched for the SNES. Gamers who want a retro Batman experience are better off playing Batman Returns.

There's a new Batman movie out this week (some other guy is in it as well but I think we all know who the real star is there) and the developer behind The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us has announced the first details of its Batman game. Show of the Week investigates."

With the latest Batman movie out we thought it prudent to review some of the other well known past performances of the Dark Knight. He has for years appeared on multiple console and game systems. While some titles were less than good some were downright bad and others were awesome.
Batman has done nothing but improve over time. From films to current games it has done nothing but get better which is great.
But don't you agree that the Batman game's didn't really improve until Rocksteady took the healm with Asylum and City?
Yes, I never really played any of the earlier Batman games but I own both Arkham games and love them dearly.
Hopefully the success of the batman series will pave the way for more succesfull superhero games such as spider man or thor or other games like that because the movies are really good but usually their game adaptations are below par.
I agree wholeheartedly! Both Arkham Asylum games were just wonderful and such a joy to play! I usually don't bother with movie adaptation games, one game that I remember was The Amazing Spiderman on the original Xbox. It was very good and I have some great childhood memories playing it. Other than that I can't really think of a good game adaptation from a movie.
I rather not have more superhero games. We have enough superhero movies. We don't need the video game market flooding with them.
You should all search the internet for a copy of Batman: Dark Tomorrow. It really is a special kind of terrible
