To try and differentiate Batman Forever from the other licensed dreck they were churning out, Acclaim Entertainment tried to class the game up by using digitised graphics of actors dressed up as Batman and Robin.

Video Game Ad of the Day: Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M.

The game was poorly received due to technical shortcomings.
