You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Batman Forever''''' is a [[beat 'em up]] [[video game]] based on the [[Batman Forever|film of the same name]]. Though released by the same publisher at roughly the same time, it is an entirely different game from ''[[Batman Forever: The Arcade Game]]''. The game was followed by ''[[Batman & Robin (video game)|Batman & Robin]]'' in 1998.

==Gameplay==
The player plays as either [[Batman]] or [[Robin (character)|Robin]]. There is also a [[versus fighting game|fighting game]] mode called "training mode" where the player can play as Batman, Robin, or any of the enemies found throughout the game against either a computer-controlled opponent, against a second player, or cooperatively against two computer opponents.

The controls are largely based on move lists and key sequences. Some gadget moves involve moving away from the enemy right before pressing a punch or kick button.

The gadget list is selected by the player at each level, with three standard gadgets for each character and two gadgets selected from a list. There are also four hidden "blueprint" gadgets.

There are two kinds of co-op modes in ''Batman Forever''. Players chose between Batman or Robin. In one mode, Batman and Robin work together and cannot harm each other, although they share credits. In another mode, however, Batman and Robin can attack each other, but still, need to look out for enemies and have separate credit counts. The co-op mode is not included in the Game Boy and Game Gear versions.

The Super NES and Genesis/Mega Drive versions of the game are very similar. The PC version is the same as the SNES and Genesis versions, though Batman and Robin appear in their movie attire, but the PC version also has loading delays. The Game Boy and Game Gear versions do away with a majority of the puzzle-solving of the SNES, PC, and Genesis versions and opt for a more traditional platform fighting game.

==Development==
Acclaim used [[motion capture]] technology to animate the digitized [[Sprite (computer graphics)|sprites]], like they did with ''[[Mortal Kombat]]''. Warner Bros acquired Acclaim's motion capture technology for the film, before Acclaim used it for the game.<ref>((cite magazine |title=Acclaim Stakes its Claim |magazine=RePlay |date=January 1995 |volume=20 |issue=4 |page=71 |url=https://archive.org/details/re-play-volume-20-issue-no.-4-january-1995/RePlay%20-%20Volume%2020%2C%20Issue%20No.%204%20-%20January%201995/page/n68))</ref>

The four reviewers of ''[[Electronic Gaming Monthly]]'' praised the Game Gear version as having graphics that are virtually identical to those of the Genesis and Super NES version, but overall dismissed the game due to poor controls, explaining that "Punching enemies is nothing more than a delayed sequence that continues well after the enemy is dead."<ref name=EGM>((cite magazine|title=Review Crew: Batman Forever|magazine=[[Electronic Gaming Monthly]]|issue=76|publisher=[[Ziff Davis]] |date=November 1995|page=52))</ref> ''[[GamePro]]'' also gave it a negative review. They remarked that the graphics are technically impressive but dull due to their lack of onscreen objects and interesting backgrounds, and concluded that "the sluggish gameplay, mediocre graphics, and weak sounds really kick this cart to the bat curb."<ref>((cite magazine |title=ProReview: Batman Forever|magazine=[[GamePro]]|issue=87|publisher=[[International Data Group|IDG]]|date=December 1995|page=144))</ref>

''GamePro'' panned the Super NES version as the worst of the Super NES Batman games. They dismissed the training mode as lacking the winning elements of a decent fighting game. Commenting on the normal mode, they criticized the frustrating difficulty, particularly the lack of continues and the time limit in the third stage, and stated that the digitized sprites were done well but clash with the "washed-out" background graphics.<ref>((cite magazine|title=ProReview: Batman Forever|magazine=[[GamePro]]|issue=86|publisher=[[International Data Group|IDG]]|date=November 1995|page=86))</ref> ''[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]'' praised the look of the digitized sprites but gave the game one out of five stars, citing boring gameplay and a poor control configuration.<ref>((cite magazine|title=Batman Forever|magazine=[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]|issue=11|publisher=[[Imagine Media]]|date=November 1995|page=186))</ref> Frank Snyder of ''[[Computer Game Review]]'' wrote that "the actual experience of playing ''Batman™ Forever'' isn't much better than that of watching the movie."<ref name=cgr>((cite web | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19961221183701/http://www.nuke.com/cgr/reviews/9607/batman/batman.htm | url=http://www.nuke.com/cgr/reviews/9607/batman/batman.htm | title=''Batman™ Forever'' | author=Snyder, Frank | date=July 1996 | work=[[Computer Game Review]] | archive-date=December 21, 1996 | url-status=dead))</ref>
