10 Coolest Gadgets In Batman Video Games

The sequel to '89's Batman: The Video Game, Return of the Joker builds on the original Batman film with an expanded story serving as a continuation of Tim Burton's vision of Gotham.

Like the first game, Batman has a range of new and exciting gadgets to choose from, packing a punch against his enemies while always sticking to his rule against killing. One of his more inventive weapons this time around comes in the form of the sonic neutralizers, which will make short work of virtually anything standing in your way.

Once equipped, a press of a button sends two zigzagging lines of batarang-like pulses straight ahead of the player. The spiraling beams can hit a surprising amount of targets in their paths, and with a fairly quick rate of fire, you'll rarely find yourself switching this tool out for anything else as you make your way to the Joker.
