Play Batman Returns on Snes Online

Batman Returns came out on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993, developed by Konami. It was part of that wave of movie tie-in games that tried to capture the dark, gothic feel of the film on a 16-bit console.

You control Batman through a series of side-scrolling stages, fighting through the streets of Gotham and its underworld to stop the Penguin and Catwoman. The game uses a punch and jump combat system, but your main tools are a limited supply of Batarangs and a grappling hook for crossing large gaps. The levels are linear but packed with enemies, requiring careful timing to avoid damage and manage your special weapons. It feels like a solid, challenging brawler that captures the weight of being Batman.
