Batman lends itself to the creation of great pinball toys. Batman was created by the designer of Lord of the Rings, and he has outdone himself. Among the great mechanisms are a teeter-totter where the ball races the Batmobile, a mechanism where the player tries to reveal the Joker, and a Scarecrow operated moving crane with a suspended ball that the player tries to hit. These toys are exceptionally unique and fun and are augmented by an upper plastic playfield, spinner, drop target, diverter, ramps, etc. The playfield has great shots, and Stern's leading rules designer has included truly fun and understandable game play.
