Despite his reputation as a loner, Batman works with many people in his fight against crime. For much of Batman's history, a teenager serves as the youthful sidekick Robin. The first Robin, Dick Grayson, eventually leaves his mentor and becomes the hero Nightwing. The second Robin, Jason Todd, is beaten to death by the Joker but later returns as an adversary. Tim Drake, the third Robin, first appears in 1989 and aspires to be as good a detective as Batman. Alfred Pennyworth is Bruce Wayne's loyal butler and father figure, and ... aids Batman by maintaining the Batcave while Lucius Fox sees to his business and charitable interests.

In the account of Batman's origin provided in issue #1 of Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Batman recalls finding the Batcave for the first time, at the age of six. Batman states that the silence of the cave reminded him of a church.(Batman: The Dark Knight Returns hardover compilation, page 19). He recalls thinking that the cave was "silent as a church." This indicates that he had spent some time in church, and that those churches were "silent," which is probably an apt description for whatever Episcopalian church that the wealthy Wayne family might have taken Bruce to. Note that as a child Bruce Wayne did not think the cave was as "silent as a synagogue" or as "silent as a mosque."

Batman became a popular character soon after his introduction, and eventually gained his own title, Batman. As the decades wore on, differing takes on the character emerged. The late 1960s Batman television series utilized a camp aesthetic associated with the character for years after the show ended. Various creators worked to return the character to his dark roots, culminating in the 1986 miniseries Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, by writer-artist Frank Miller. That and the success of director Tim Burton's 1989 Batman motion picture helped reignite popular interest in the character. A cultural icon, Batman has been licensed and adapted into a variety of media, from radio to television and film, and appears on a variety of merchandise sold all over the world.

In some of his early appearances, Batman uses side arms (see especially Detective Comics #32, September 1939), but he uses them less over time, later eschewing their use because a gun was used to murder his parents. Some stories relax this rule, allowing Batman to arm his vehicles for the purpose of disabling other vehicles or removing inanimate obstacles. In two stories, The Dark Knight Returns and The Cult, Batman used machine guns loaded with rubber bullets rather than live ammunition. In the 1989 Batman film, firearms figure more prominently in the Dark Knight's arsenal; machine guns and grenades are mounted on the Batmobile, and missiles and machine cannons on the Batwing.

A further dramatic updating of Batman's style took place with writer-artist Frank Miller’s futuristic mini-series The Dark Knight Returns (1986). Batman became even more of a creature of the night, and much less the easy going friendly superhero type that he was in the 1950s and in the camp 1966 TV show. This Batman would not stop at beating up a criminal type to extract information, and seemed to have less and less in common with his friend Superman as time went on. And the nation was shocked in 1988 when O’Neil, now editor, took a poll of fans who decided that Jason Todd, the second Robin (a different kid than the original) would be better off dead. The readers voted "yes", and Jason's death at the hands of the Joker would plunge Batman into an even darker period.

Batman Returns is a game is for one player only. This is a side scroller game. Most enemies you faced besides bosses died with one or attacks. Bosses went down pretty quick if you had the right power ups. Through out the game you had fire hydrants and boxes for items that Batman usually carries in his utility belt. Some of the items you get are, a bataring heat seeking bataring, bats, which come out of your cape, and smoke bombs.
