Batman Returns for the Sega Mega CD is an action game developed by Malibu and published by Sega. It is based on the movie with the same name, and it is an upgraded edition to the previously released Mega Drive version. It contains the same 2D platform stages from the cartridge game together with all new pseudo-3D driving stages and a rearranged music score by Spencer Nilsen.

At the time, Batman Returns was considered an impressive title for its heavy use of the Mega CD's scaling abilities.
