All of this culminates in a final gauntlet where you will face all the bosses-plus a few additional super villains that show up just for kicks! The only weak point I noticed was the Batmobile stage. A great example of this is the Riddler level, where you spend the first part of the level in a maze, and the second part in a VR program! Both of these scenarios are from the animated series!

Can lightning strike twice and create a game as good as this legendary series? Let’s find out… This is all about The Adventures of Batman and Robin, a SNES game based around the award-winning cartoon.
