Often, the time of their appearance is a mystery with no clue, meaning you'll have to retrace your steps to various locations over and over again until someone or something shows up. To make matters worse, certain objects and people will appear in certain locations only during certain times of the virtual 'day'.

The battles aren't very interactive, as Batman seems to win easily no matter what weapon he chooses, though they are fun to watch. While you can control Batman as he fights his enemies, that control is limited to selecting weapons and setting the 'ferocity' of Batman's attack. If you want to understand the plot, watching the movie is a prerequisite to playing, as the game has plot holes big enough to drive the Batmobile, and never explains why you, as Batman, are doing what you're doing. The plot loosely (rather, very loosely) follows that of the 1992 film Batman Returns, starring Michael Keaton.

Batman Returns is a very disappointing adaptation of the blockbuster movie license, a hodgepodge of elements from the adventure, action and role-playing genres, the whole of which is much less than the sum of its parts.
