The Adventures of Batman and Robin

I’ve played my share of Batman video games and by far my favorite remains The Adventures of Batman and Robin for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.  Capturing the look of the Batman the Animated Series the game, with high quality graphics, and music from specific episodes, made you feel like you are playing the show itself, and was a blast to play.  Take a look inside as we review the game!

After Tim Burton‘s Batman Returns didn’t live up to the box office expectations of its studio, Warner Bros, the two parties peacefully parted ways and Joel Schumacher was brought in to reinvent the series to skew more towards kids than adults (Wikipedia says it, so it must be true!).  Let me say, as someone who was seven- and nine-years old when these movies came out, Schumacer did his job and he did it well.  These were my favorite movies at that young, and now evidentally very very stupid age.  These movies are full of horrendous dialogue and terrible plotting.  To be sure, these are the kinds of movies you can only totally appreciate before you are learning at a fifth-grade level.

Batman: Gotham Knight

  • Title: Batman: Gotham Knight
  • IMDB: link

In light of the Batman theme, I went out and bought the new Batman: Gotham Knight yesterday.  I was extremely excited when I first heard about this, six mini-sodes to key us in on what The Dark Knight has been up to since Batman Begins, sounds like a good time to me.  Unfortunately, the extremely painfully short episodes, or blips as I would call them, left me confused and less than happy.  None of the episodes ties in together, so if you look at it as if you will be able to follow a plot then you will be lost.  Those fans who have seen every episode of the old cartoons, every movie and read the comics will know exactly what is going on here.  I have seen more than enough episodes and all the movies, but that isn’t enough, so beware if you are on the same page as me.
