A bat-themed comic-book playfield seen through the glass of a cabinet, dominated by a huge black oval plaque in the centre shaped like spread bat wings, with a lime-green bat silhouette at its top and jagged green-and-purple flames rising from its bottom edge. Yellow lettering runs round the plaque, with the lit green word FOREVER in the middle. Two costumed figures stand below it: a blue-and-grey caped masked hero on the left and a red-and-black masked figure with a black domino mask on the right, both drawn in bold ink-outlined comic style. To the upper left a blonde woman in a blue top kneels facing right, and around her the word APPEAR repeated in white on a black band. The upper third is a jumble of chrome wire ramps, a green translucent plastic ramp hood and lane guides over a blue and green painted background. Yellow wire rails run down both outer edges. Two white cards sit on the apron at bottom right, a cream rule card at bottom left, and an orange-and-yellow sunburst on the lower playfield reads THE BAT GROWS. Dominant colours are blue, lime green, black and yellow.

Full description

A wide backglass with a blue SEGA wordmark in the top-left corner, showing a hand-painted comic-book collage of Batman villains against a night city skyline. Five large bust portraits span the upper half: at far left a blonde woman in a dark strapless top; centre-left a large blue-and-black bat-eared cowled male face with a scarred mouth; centre a dark-haired man in a black domino mask and zipped black jacket; right a scarred, sinister older man in a suit and patterned cravat; far right a grinning orange-haired man in a green eye mask and a bright green question-mark-print shirt, one hand raised with fingers splayed. Between and behind them are smaller full-body figures: a black-winged demonic bat creature upper left, a small caped dark figure mid-left, a huge clawed bat head lower left, a grotesque grinning head bottom centre, a pterosaur-like winged creature upper right, and three standing men at lower right including one in a green coat holding a long hooked staff and a large translucent green shard. The background is a purple and blue cityscape over dark water with orange reflections and a flying craft. Dead centre is a large teal-outlined bat emblem carrying the white word FOREVER, with a blue bat-wing shape beneath it. The lower third is a separate black translite panel: blue SEGA logos both sides, scattered green and blue question marks and dots, and a red dot-matrix display in an orange LED border reading FREE PLAY.
