Batman Forever brings the colourful, exaggerated world of the 1995 film to pinball, with Batman, Robin, The Riddler and Two-Face forming the central cast. The machine uses the film’s Gotham setting to create a series of villain-based objectives.
The layout is built around ramps, loops and targets that allow the player to progress through the various Gotham challenges. The Batmobile and other physical features reinforce the theme while giving the player clear goals to work towards.
Like the film itself, the machine is deliberately larger than life. Pick a villain and deal with them properly before spreading your shots across Gotham.

Silverball guide · Batman Forever
The plunger on Batman Forever is a trigger, and it does something no other shot does: it locks in the Gotham scene you are about to play. Including, if it comes up, the one that lights an extra ball.

Strategy tips written by players on PinTips , not by Silverball. Best-voted first.
After a number of slingshot hits, bats fly out of the DMD and screech at you. Pull the gun trigger quickly for 50M points.
Shoot VUK to lock balls, and start multiball. Jackpots are left and right ramp, then middle ramp (upper flipper) for double jackpot.
If Rooftop Chase is lit, then start mode. Otherwise collect Mr E for a chance at 20x bonus. If 20x bonus collected, shoot right ramp all day
Mode start is on right orbit. It is lit by hitting ? stand up targets. Mode is changed on pops, and can be locked with gun trigger.
Rooftop Chase is a simple and high value video mode (159 million). Dodge obstacles first, then in next phase drive *through* points barriers
