I somehow mistook Batman Returns' gloomy cold opening, where the Caped Crusader fights his way to the top of a building and failing to save the Ice Princess from a plunge, as a sign that this side-scrolling platformer might be good. Remember that part in the movie, where Batman fights his way to a sabotaged Batmobile? I thought the game was gonna start with a bang. Though, hope for a quality platformer slowly fizzled away when I tried playing the start of the first level, taking place on Gotham City's rooftops; not even ten seconds in, I met death by falling in a pit, and by stage's end, I lost five lives through these incidents. In denial, I chalked it up to my inexperience with the game and pressed on, since it was my first playthrough. However, ten minutes in, the sad truth was very much evident... Batman Returns is all kinds of terrible.
