Batman: Vengeance

Game Overview

Batman: Vengeance brings the visual style and theatrical narrative of The New Batman Adventures into 3D action gameplay. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the GameCube release features authentic voice performances from the original series cast—including Kevin Conroy as Batman and Mark Hamill as the Joker—and an orchestral soundtrack that matches the tone of the animated series.

The story begins with Batman saving a woman named Mary Flynn from a bomb planted by the Joker, only to be drawn into a complex conspiracy involving Joker, Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze, and Poison Ivy. When Batman is framed for a crime against Commissioner Gordon, he must clear his name while pursuing Gotham’s villains across dark rooftops, industrial factories, and underground caverns. Gameplay combines third-person martial arts combat, platforming, and gadget utilization with first-person tactical aiming mode, aerial Bat-Glider flight stages, and high-speed Batmobile driving sequences.
