Batman has been an incorruptible symbol for Gotham and remains unwavering in his war against crime for the last 75 years. Since his creation by Bob Kane and and Bill Finger for Detective Comics #27 in 1939, Bruce Wayne’s alter ego Batman has been fighting to free his once great city from greed, corruption and terror.

In 1990, shortly after Tim Burton and Warner Bros. brought Batman to the big screen, Sunsoft took this icon to home consoles in a series of different games, both as direct movie tie-ins and also more original comic based stories. This week we explore Sunsoft’s nightmare created at the hands of Gotham’s "Clown Prince of Crime" ...the Joker.
