Hmm so that's what PC Engine Batman was supposed to be like before it got scrapped in favor of overhead Pac Man type gameplay?

Wow, that Batman game looks really cool. I especially like the Bat Cave scene.

Hopefully one day a "prototype" will get leaked online.

Looks like it would have been a very average and unremarkable platformer. Maybe I'm biased, because I love the Batman PC Engine game we got.

I wouldn't have minded a port of the NES Batman, like the Genesis got though. That was awesome.

I remember those pictures.  I was pretty disappointed since I love those kind of platformers.  Back then I also had the NES version so I was really looking forward to the PCE version.  

I didn't even know it was changed to a puzzle style game until right before it came out.  Eventually I bought the MD version instead since it was a platformer.

At least Sunsoft used one of my fav NES Batman tunes in the PCE version.  That was a nice touch.
