Game Overview

Dynamite Batman (Japan)—also known as Batman: Return of the Joker elsewhere—is a hidden gem on the NES that throws you into the Dark Knight’s sleek, futuristic boots for a side-scrolling action-packed showdown. Unlike the more famous Batman NES game, this one ditches the Metroidvania vibe for straight-up explosive combat, with Batman blasting through levels using a slick arm cannon (yes, really!). The visuals pop with a moody cyberpunk flair, and the Joker’s chaotic energy fuels every stage, making it feel like a lost episode of a gritty '90s Batman anime.

What makes it stand out? The sheer adrenaline rush of its gameplay—wall-jumping, dodging lasers, and unleashing satisfying firepower while the soundtrack pumps out synth-heavy beats. It’s short but intense, perfect for fans who crave a challenge or just want to experience a wild, offbeat take on the Caped Crusader. If you missed this one back in the day, it’s a blast (literally) to discover now!
