A dark, ambitious brawler tied to the animated series, polished in presentation but stiff in feel. A curiosity worth a serious try.

"Captivating"
Total faithfulness to the 90s animated series: angular silhouettes, a dark Art Deco palette and dramatic light compose a striking cartoon Gotham. The care of the line and the noir atmosphere overflow with cachet. This art direction, stylish and atmospheric, beautifully restores the spirit of the original work.

Adventures of Batman & Robin, The (SNES) price, value & rarity
The European PAL SNES edition of the Konami platformer based on the Batman animated series, with a short PAL print and notable for its sustained Mode 7 use in the motorcycle stages. The PAL cart is rarer than the US version, and the SNES version differs substantially from the Mega Drive version (a different game by Clockwork Tortoise). PAL boxed CIB in the original cardboard box climbs hard, sustained by physical scarcity and recognised visual quality.
Is Adventures of Batman & Robin, The still worth playing in 2026?
The Adventures of Batman & Robin is an ambitious Konami beat them up, closely tied to the animated series and packed with varied, sometimes surprising stages. The art direction beautifully echoes the Bruce Timm backgrounds, and the SNES score rises to the occasion. The handling stays a touch stiff and the difficulty ramps up fast, but the overall ambition places this port above most licensed games of its era. Recommended to Batman fans and patient beat them up enthusiasts.
