Batman (バットマン), known in the United States as Batman: The Video Game, is a Sega Mega Drive action beat-'em-up game developed by Sunsoft. Based on the titular 1989 film Batman, the game was first released in Japan, the United States, and Europe in July 1990, and was published by Sunsoft in all regions except Europe (where it was instead published by Sega.)

While Sunsoft capitalized on the Batman license by releasing other identically-named games, each features different gameplay design.
