I think comics licensed gaming peaked during the 16-Bit era. I remember all of the hoopla over the Batman & Robin game for the PSOne. Magazines (Gamefan the loudest of them all, as usual) touted the huge city available to drive around and all this but they seemed to forget it was Acclaim financing the game.

During the 16-Bit era though, it seemed Batman was in good hands on all platforms, outside of the "eh" Atari Lynx Batman game which was still good but probably the worst of the Batman games. Even Superman got some decent representation during the 16-Bit era.
