Been a while since we last did an unused materials/prototype post. This time we have a very quick one thanks to Ross Sillifant.
In the advert for Batman Returns on the Lynx, you’ll notice that there are a number of promised features which didn’t seem to make the final game (please correct us if we’re wrong!):
- Bat-rope / grapping rope to access inaccessible areas
- Gas Grenades (replaced by Acid Vials?)
- No body shields for protection or making you more athletic.
It seems perhaps the advert was based from the initial design document for the game, and these features were cut?

Be interesting to ask the developers if we knew who they were?
They’re listed at https://www.mobygames.com/game/38511/batman-returns/ … I’m linked with Susan, but never had a response about another title. I’m in touch with Robb though, so will ping him a message.
