This game follows incredibly close to the movies, including the events and how the villain goes. It plays a lot more like a home console SNES game than an arcade with the sidecrolling and amount of time it gives you.

Atari Games was of course owned by Time Warner (Parent company of Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Comics) at the time of the arcade release, so they pretty much got most of the assets from the movie to make it as accurate as possible.

A nice attempt at following the major scenes in the movie, but without context to them, let’s recap what happens here. Batman throws a man into chemicals and scars him mentally and physically, kills dozens of drivers based on their paint job, kidnaps a woman and forces her into his car, punches Joker off of a roof to his death. and to top it all off, he steals the man’s balloons.

@@deanfranz Seems more likely to be an emulation error than something endemic to the arcade version - I'm guessing whomever uploaded this is using an older version of MAME. Also, what you said makes no sense as it would actually use LESS RAM to purge the Batman sprite from memory/ the screen immediately after the Joker falls as it's no longer needed.
