Item Description
Sunsoft's first NES Batman followed Tim Burton's film. For the follow-up, the studio cut loose. Batman: Return of the Joker is a self-contained story drawn more from the comics, and it opens with the Joker stealing a set of metals, one of them highly toxic and destined for missile warheads. What follows is a hard-hitting run-and-gun adventure that many players still point to as some of the most impressive graphics the NES ever produced.
This Batman fights at range. His wrist projector fires different ammunition depending on which icon you collect: a crossbow whose arrows blow enemies apart, homing Batarangs that track their targets, Sonic Neutralizers that criss-cross the screen, and Shield Stars that spread darts in three directions. A sliding attack handles low threats, and gathering eight energy capsules turns Batman gold and briefly invincible for a few seconds of glorious destruction. Seven stages carry him from a Gotham City cathedral through the Joker's warehouse, a snowy mountain, a refinery, an underground conduit and an ammunition base to the Joker's island hideout, Ha-Hacienda, with bosses such as a Minedroid and the refinery's Master C.P.U. along the way.
The presentation is the headline. Sprites are big, fluid and detailed, the backgrounds are moody and fully realized, and Sunsoft's sound team brought the punchy, bass-heavy music the studio was known for. Artists still talk about it: one Yacht Club Games artist has named this Batman sprite among his all-time favorites, marveling at how hard the game pushes the hardware. Passwords and unlimited continues keep the challenge fair, and the final showdowns with the Joker are good enough that IGN ranked the game's last boss among the best video game portrayals of the character.
It is less famous than its predecessor, and that is part of the appeal. Return of the Joker shows Sunsoft at full technical stretch, with a Dark Knight who feels heavy, powerful and armed to the teeth on 8-bit hardware.

About the game
Batman: Return of the Joker was developed and published by Sunsoft as the second in their Batman series on the Nintendo Entertainment System. It departed from the original game by focusing on the comic-book version of Batman instead of the movie-inspired conception. The story itself was self-contained, and did not depict a pre-existing storyline. The game is a side-scrolling platformer with beat 'em up features.
