Batman Doom is a total conversion for Doom II, created by ACE Team. In Batman Doom, the player plays as Batman fighting various criminals in Gotham City. The game includes a very complex DeHackEd patch which makes it very different from Doom.

The TC is designed to be compatible with vanilla Doom and is available for both PC and Macintosh. However, a bug in DOS dehacked means that it does not run properly in vanilla Doom (after switching to the fist it is impossible to switch away). A patch has been created to allow Batman Doom to run in vanilla Doom properly.

Several fixes have been released to run Batman Doom properly in modern sourceports, the ZDoom version recreating the DeHackEd gameplay modifications with DECORATE can be downloaded here. The recommended source port is Crispy Doom that can run both the original version and the [slightly fixed one] (e.g. not displaying the unneeded episode selection menu) without the aforementioned DEHACKED fix.

Content

Note: Batman Doom's levels actually have two names; one is the map name displayed on the automap, the other is a short briefing displayed on the intermission screen.

Tricks

Batman versus a terrorist

Batman Doom is famous for a large number of both DeHackEd and mapping tricks used in it:

  • Moving train
  • Flying helicopter
  • Killer Croc picks up rocks
  • Gang fights
  • Huge explosion

Bosses

Killer Croc

Tally man

Penguin

Scarecrow

Two-face

Joker

Bane

Bane is the final boss of Batman Doom, appearing in MAP30. The player must defeat Bane using the 7th weapon, which can be picked up at the start of the level (the words "fight only with these gloves!" appear). If the player switches to a different weapon, the words "you failed to fight bane with your fists" appear over the screen, leaving the player with no weapons and defenseless against Bane.

Bane has 250 hitpoints (the same as the Doom II final boss). When killed, the level ends.
