Bruce Wayne / Batman
The protagonist, who uses combat, stealth, and equipment to fight crime in Gotham City.
How it plays
Players guide Batman through stages based on events from the film. Objectives include reaching the end of an area, defeating enemies, avoiding hazards, and completing encounters connected to the story.
Batman can move, jump, strike opponents, and use available equipment or environmental opportunities. Progression is primarily stage-based rather than a deep character-leveling system, with new story scenes and locations appearing as missions are completed.
Plan your run
Learn enemy attack patterns before committing to a fight, especially in narrow corridors where several opponents can surround Batman.
Explore each stage carefully for safer routes and useful equipment. Avoid rushing into hazards, and use Batman’s movement and positioning to separate enemies instead of attacking a whole group at once.

Batman Begins for Game Boy Advance is a side-scrolling action-adventure game developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Electronic Arts. It adapts the 2005 Batman Begins film, following Bruce Wayne as he becomes Batman and confronts organized crime, the League of Shadows, and Scarecrow’s plot against Gotham City. The game combines close-quarters combat, platforming, stealth-flavored encounters, and gadget use across compact stages. Its presentation uses an isometric or side-oriented handheld perspective depending on the activity, with a strong emphasis on moving through environments and defeating groups of enemies. Reception was generally mixed: critics recognized the licensed presentation and varied action, but found the limited handheld hardware and repetitive combat less impressive than the console versions.
