Batman[a] is a 1990 action video game developed and published by Sunsoft for the PC Engine. Based on the DC Comics superhero Batman, it is inspired by the Warner Bros.'s 1989 film of the same name. In the main storyline, Batman must face the Joker. Controlling the titular character, the player explores and search for items and power-ups, while fighting enemies in mazes across five stages based on locations in the film.
Batman on the PC Engine was created by Sunsoft, which had previously worked on adaptations based on the 1989 film for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. The game was produced by Cho Musou, while soundtrack was composed by Nobuyuki Hara. It was the last Batman game by Sunsoft to tie in with a movie. The game was first announced in 1989 as a platformer, but was later retooled into an action-maze game instead. It garnered mixed reception from critics.
