Batman can use various weapons, such as batarangs and gas grenades, as he takes on various goons and the Joker.[1]

Konami was also in talks of releasing an arcade game based on the 1989 film around the same time as Atari but "other companies got in the way". It is suspected that company was Atari.[2]
