Summary

Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu drops you into a classic beat‑'em‑up playground where you can swing the cape as Batman, Batgirl, Robin or Nightwing. Each hero is voiced by the original TV cast—Kevin Conroy, Tara Strong, Scott Menville and Loren Lester—so the dialogue feels straight out of *The New Batman Adventures*. The game shines in its two‑player co‑op, letting a friend jump in at any point, and it even tacks on a Challenge mode where you can grind waves of thugs solo or together without the story distractions. As you clear levels you unlock fresh fighting moves and upgrades, giving each character a subtle evolution that rewards replay. Four difficulty tiers—Easy, Medium, Hard and the unlockable Dark Knight—let you dial the intensity, while the GameCube version sneaks in a neat GBA link‑cable feature for extra connectivity.

Storyline

On the anniversary of his parents' murder, Batman visits Crime Alley, stops a kidnapping and learns that Arkham Asylum and Stonegate Prison have both been breached. Commissioner Gordon contacts him, but is first incapacitated by Scarecrow’s fear gas before Batman defeats the scarecrow and learns other villains have escaped.

Gordon later reports that Clayface has seized the Gotham Chemical Factory, planting bombs across the city’s rooftops. Batman defuses the explosives, confronts Clayface, and uses electricity to stop the shape‑shifter’s plan to turn Gotham’s citizens into clay.

The mastermind behind the breakouts is revealed to be Sin Tzu, an Asian warlord imprisoned in Arkham. He announces a doomsday weapon will arrive at the docks, which Batman intercepts and brings to the Batcave, only to discover the weapon is Bane, another escaped foe, whom he defeats.

Batman then infiltrates Arkham via the sewers while Gordon warns him of Sin Tzu’s mind‑controlling abilities. He battles through inmates—including Joker, Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy—who are in suspended animation, and finally confronts Sin Tzu in a lower‑level chamber, ending the warlord’s scheme.

At dawn Gordon apologizes for keeping Sin Tzu’s imprisonment secret for national security, and Batman reflects on his vows and the memory of his parents, reaffirming why he protects Gotham.
