The arcade version of Batman Forever is a 1996 beat-'em-up for the Sega Titan Video by Acclaim and Iguana Entertainment. It was ported to the Sega Saturn the following year as Batman Forever: The Arcade Game (バットマンフォーエヴァー・ジ・アーケードゲーム), to differentiate the game from the Mega Drive and Game Gear titles released one year prior.

A Sega 32X version was planned^[3] and was shown at E3 1995^[4], but was cancelled.
