Batman Vengeance is a videogame based on the Batman character from DC Comics and on the television series The New Batman Adventures. The game was created by Ubisoft, which also published it, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics, that hold the intellectual rights to the character. It was published for the Xbox, the GameCube, the PlayStation 2, the Game Boy Advance and PCs. The game first appeared in 2001.

Batman faces one of the toughest periods in his career as a crime fighter. Apparently, all is well, as the Joker is killed while fighting against Batman - but a new wave of crimes erupts throughout Gotham and it seems that all of them are somehow connected. Batman is forced to become a fugitive and go underground after mysterious forces frame him for an attack on Police Commissioner Gordon. Obviously, he needs to find out who is behind all the attacks before the city is taken over.

The game looks very good and boasts a stellar voice cast, with most of the actors who voiced the animated series mentioned above also working for the game. The graphics are low key and try to transmit the feeling of insecurity that Batman is experiencing as his very existence is being threatened. Most critics agreed on the fact that the game managed to perfectly capture the general feel of the television show.

The gameplay combines different genres, mixing traditional platforming play with some vehicle based chases and combat sequences.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Hint: FunnyBones Warehouse lock

You do not need to try all the 999 possibilities on the lock, you can look for figurines like the one in the room near your starting location. There is another one behind trucks and one outside the fence when you get on the roof of the building with the first figurine. They spell a combination which is 619.

Defeating Mr. Freeze

Do not charge at him or you will be thrown and probably get frozen because of how he defends himself. Enter first-person mode and equip your demolition charges. Make sure Mr. Freeze is following you. Look up to find glass tanks moving on a hook. When he is under one, fire at it with your charges, then detonate it so that it lands on him. Repeat this until you get a move where Batman grabs Mr. Freeze's gun and freezes him to stop him from burning.
