Batman is a video game inspired by the eponymous 1989 film. It was released in 1989 for the Nintendo Entertainment System and developed by Sunsoft. The NES version of Batman is a platform action game that features locations from the 1989 movie. It contains five levels culminating in a showdown with the Joker in the bell tower of Gotham Cathedral.[1] It was received well despite changes from the movie it's based upon.

The game has a feature that was unusual to side-scrolling platform games at the time, largely to the NES itself. Unlike the other Batman game that was released for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Batman has the ability to wall jump, which is reminiscent of Ryu Hayabusa's wall scaling in Ninja Gaiden. He is also able to use three projectile weapons: the batarang, batdisk, and bat speargun, which are powered by pellet cartridges.[2]
The prototype version of the game had some significant differences, such as a 1UP icon and entirely different cut-scenes. The game's last boss was Firefly and there was no Joker boss. Instead, Batman defeats the Joker in the ending cut-scene. The cut-scenes' art style was mainly inspired by Batman: The Killing Joke and some panels of the book were even translated in the cut-scenes.[3]
