Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s check out the box art designs themselves.
North America / Europe
Both North America and Europe went for the same design on this game and we can see why. It’s a video game based on a film, right? So why not embrace the source material with the cover? Michael Keaton’s Batman stands front and centre, surrounded by four images from the movie showing Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman, Danny DeVito’s Penguin and, of course, the Batmobile. It might not be the most creative, but it certainly shows where its origins lie.
Japan
Wow. Compared to the movie-accurate real-life images of the previous cover, Japan really went in the opposite direction. This one is far closer related to the Batman comics than it is with the film, featuring original art of the three leads on the dominantly black cover, and carrying the action over onto the back. It doesn’t wear its ties to Burton’s movie quite so much on its sleeve, but you have to respect the bold look.
Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of the Box Art Brawl.
