It is possible to get '''a billion''' points in 35 shots (31 of which are the right orbit).

The "Standard" game is almost the same as the arcade ("Pro") model, but without the rotating Joker reveal tube, the teetering Batmobile bridge race, and the Waynetech mini-playfield, and with assorted software changes to match. Reportedly, only 48 of the "Standard" tables were released, making it an extremely rare (but sparse) collectable for the die-hard ''Batman'' fan.

''Batman'' is a PhysicalPinballTable designed by Creator/GeorgeGomez and released by Creator/SternPinball in 2008.
Despite the title, the game is clearly based on [[Film/TheDarkKnight the second movie]] in Creator/ChristopherNolan's Film/TheDarkKnightSaga.

!!This ''Batman'' pinball demonstrates the following tropes:
* GetBackHereBoss: "Scarecrow Attack", which requires the player to hit the crane's wrecking ball as it moves around the playfield.
* PropRecycling: The Waynetech mini-playfield is a rethemed version of the "Path of Souls" from ''Pinball/TheLordOfTheRings''.
* SkillShot: Shoot the ball into the flashing rollover lane to receive one of three rewards.
* StealthPun: The crane is controlled by the Scarecrow -- whose real name is Jonathan Crane.
* WizardMode: Subverted; collecting all eight characters in the cast lights "Final Battle", but shooting the saucer simply rewards 100 million points.
