We've compiled a massive survey which we

Commodore Format isn't all questions
this month, though. We've come up with an
impressive list of answers, too: brilliant
and maybe even better; i t s taking shape;
advice from an expert; 94 per cent; hordes
of them; better than ever.
And the questions are: how is Batman
Returns looking and how will stand up
against the previous Batman classics?
