The Adventures of Batman & Robin is a side-scrolling action game based on the animated series of the same name (after being renamed). Despite Robin’s more passive and supportive role, the game was very well received and praised by fans for staying faithful to the series.
The game is a standard beat ‘em up game where you fight through hordes of underlings until you finally reach the antagonist at the end of the level. Along the way, you solve simple puzzles in order to complete your mission, sometimes using crucial items which Alfred is kind enough to suggest at the beginning of the level. These items can be weapons like boomerangs or bombs, but also utility items like a flashlight and such.
In the Adventures of Batman & Robin, the Batcave allows you re-equip items and gadgets and also to restart the current mission with the maximum number of lives. The game also has a password system which takes note of your remaining lives and continues. For the hard-core fans, there is also a hard mode which does not allow you to use continues or passwords, thus the game has to be completed in one try.
The levels all feature different designs and visuals, and even start off with their own title card, as an episode of the series would. As you fight your way, you will inevitably fight some of the famous villains from the Batman universe, such as the Joker, Poison Ivy, Two-Face and the Riddler. The villains all have unique animations and even short voice samples, and all this lends itself to a much more appealing battle.
Graphically speaking, the game is not very colourful or vibrant; however it is very faithful to the art style of the comics and the animated series, giving the impression that you are actually playing within the cartoon. The music also complements the graphics perfectly with its dark tone.
The Adventures of Batman & Robin is one of the best games of the series not just because of it kept the same style as the comics and animated series, but also because of its diverse levels each with its unique challenges and attention to detail, down to small laughs to give characters much more depth than a MIDI beep could. The only major complaint made by fans was that the game was too short. That just means that they wanted more.
The Adventures of Batman & Robin features:
- Unique levels and boss fights.
- Music and graphics faithful to the series.
- Hard mode for a greater challenge.

This game is cool, the stages are long, but the levels are really long, there are only four levels, but there are many stages in just one level and there is no way you can beat this in the same day unless you have nothing else to do, but I mean this in the good way so don't get me wrong. There is one level though, while flying the handglider, this stage is incredibly long and get kind of boring, but play it anyway because the rest of the game is worth it. Best thing in the game are the boss fights and the pose that batman/robin does at the ending of each stage, it looks cool. Highly recommended game by me JGCD!
