The Super NES version was developed and published in December 1994 by Konami, and draws inspiration from the Batman: The Animated Series TV show.

Among Batman's gear are batarangs, a grappling hook, and a limited set of additional equipment, including throwing stars and smoke bombs.

Batman typically fights with projectile attacks – he has an unlimited supply of batarangs, but can pick up other weapons with limited ammunition in small item boxes along the way.

Batman starts out with 9 extra lives, and instantly respawns where he died after losing one, with a full health bar, all ammunition intact, and all inflicted damage and defeated enemies accounted for.

Reviewing the Super NES version, GamePro's Bacon praised the game's often brain-teasing challenges, strong graphics and sound effects, and "eerie atmosphere".

[31] A reviewer for Next Generation gave the Genesis version one out of five stars, citing its generic side-scrolling platform gameplay and failure to recreate the look of the TV show.

[29] Scary Larry of GamePro called the Genesis version "a standard side-scrolling platform game with great backgrounds from the show but mediocre action", citing tedious and overly difficult level design, unresponsive controls, poor character visuals, and repetitive music.

[15] The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it a 6.875 out of 10, remarking that the graphics and sounds are excellent, but the action is simplistic, repetitive, and overly difficult due to the large numbers of enemies attacking all at once.

They said it has good cartoon-style graphics and level design, but that the screen blurs when moving and enemies frequently fire bullets from off-screen which the player has no time to react to, both of which make the game unfairly difficult.

[12] The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly commented that while the FMV cutscenes in the Sega CD version are entertaining, the gameplay is repetitive and frustrating due to trees and other objects blocking the player's view of the road.

[11] Tommy Glide of GamePro particularly criticized the lack of variety in the gameplay, commenting that "this barely average driving game should be called "The Adventures of the Batmobile".
