Batman Returns is yet another solid brawler from Konami. Its simple yet somewhat challenging combat emphasizes dash-attacks and has tight controls. The graphics and music are average for a Konami game but well above average for the NES. The bosses are all well done, but the enemy variety is a little lacking.
