The Adventures of Batman and Robin - If I summed up why it should be chosen in one sentence, I would say because it is the best 2-d Batman game period! It's also the second best Batman game behind Batman:Arkham Asylum. It perfectly captured every aspect of the Batman Animated series from the look, to the sound to even the themes of the stages which borrowed heavily from actual episodes of the show. Konami seems known more for Batman Returns but this was an even better Batman game from them. The Sega Genesis version from Sega also seems to get more recognition despite Konami's SNES version being far more faithful to both the show and to Batman's character in general. Given how often people used to say that there were never any good Batman games prior to the release of Batman Arkham Asylum, I think this game really deserves a spotlight. The animated series was highly acclaimed for being such an excellent representation of Batman and the game does it justice. It's also one of the most beautful games on the SNES capturing the look of the show perfectly and having excellent animation. It's right up there with the Sega Genesis version of Aladdin for perfectly capturing the look and feel of its license.

?????

Not sure what you mean, I said the SNES version of Batman and Robin was better than the Genesis version of Batman and Robin, and also better than Konami's Batman Returns on the SNES.

I like Batman and Robin on the Genesis though. I just wish it actually had anything to do with Batman. It's really just a great run and gun game that happens to have Batman sprites in it. It's actually kind of ironic that someone make a run and gun about a character who hates guns, but I guess it's okay because he's throwing batarangs. I just don't know where he gets that limitless supply or the ability to throw them one after the other in rapid fire
