Batman carries a gauntlet shooting basic bullets by default.
This can be upgraded with weapon powerups located in boxes throughout the level, giving access to homing and energy weapons.
Every upgrade weapon can be charged up for a secondary attack, different for each weapon.
Batman also has a slide useful against most enemies and some bosses.
Boss fights introduce a system where life is measured by points instead of tick marks or bars.
In these sections, Batman has significantly more health, and can take many more hits when rumbling with these stronger foes.
Levels include a snowy landscape, moving train, military base, and sewers.
Two levels require you to run and dodge explosions while vehicles keep pace in the background.
Some levels also have Batman activate a jetpack and play through a short side-scrolling shooter.
This game is one of the few Batman games that was not based directly on a movie or television series.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Batman for Game Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Batman to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GB release dates back to 1990.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Batman has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
