# Batman

"Batman: The Dark Knight", released by Stern Pinball in 2008, is inspired by Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" movie. Designed by George Gomez with rules by Lyman F. Sheats Jr., this machine immerses players in the battle between Batman and his iconic foes, the Joker and Scarecrow. Key features include the Joker's Reveal Mechanism, which rotates to reveal a taunting Joker, and Scarecrow's Crane, a mechanical crane that players can strike with the pinball.
