Batman: The Animated Series is a side-scrolling action game by Konami released for the Game Boy in 1993 based on the TV series of the same title. A Super NES version was also planned, but the game was ultimately released under the title The Adventures of Batman & Robin due to the show undergoing a title change between seasons.

Gameplay

The game is an action-adventure platformer. The player can switch between Batman or Robin to gain access to character-specific abilities. Batman uses a grappling hook to scale heights, Robin walks across ceilings, and both characters can perform wall jumps.{{cite web | url = http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=15832 | title = Overview - Batman: The Animated Series | author = Marriott, Scott Alan | publisher= allgame | access-date = October 23, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141210012908/http://allgame.com/game.php?id=15832 | archive-date=December 10, 2014 | url-status=dead}}
