Batman Forever: The Arcade Game

The game uses a side-scrolling stage structure focused on clearing waves of enemies while moving through streets, interiors, and boss arenas. Players choose between Batman and Robin, each using punches, kicks, jumps, throws, and weapon pickups to handle groups and stronger foes. Progress is linear, with each stage ending in a boss fight that requires spacing, timing, and careful crowd control.

Batman

The main hero, a balanced fighter with solid melee tools and dependable stage clearing.

Robin

Batman’s partner, faster and more agile, suited to aggressive combo play.

Two-Face

One of the main villains and a recurring boss encounter.

The Riddler

A major antagonist who appears as a key obstacle in the story.

Focus on crowd control first and avoid getting surrounded, especially by enemies that attack from off-screen or behind. Use jumps and quick strikes to interrupt pressure, then finish isolated targets with basic combos. Save favorable openings for bosses and do not overcommit after a short string of hits. Weapon pickups are best used when groups are clustered or when a boss enters a vulnerable phase.

Tips and tricks

• Keep enemies lined up before attacking to reduce counterhits.
• Take out projectile or support enemies first whenever possible.
• In boss fights, stay patient and punish after their attack animations end.
