Does this still happen in the latest slave?

Yep, just tested with BatmanTheMovie_v1.72_NTSC.lha (755KB)

Tested also with WinUAE 6.0.2 (I normally use 5.3.1), same glitch in the upper-left only when scrolling up reaching a platform above with the Batrope...

Right, NTSC version. That is very much the game's fault. It does this playing from disk too.

The developers hacked their PAL-developed version to make it work for NTSC but in doing so had to raise the screen position up because otherwise it wouldn't fit on NTSC display. The yellow line is because the game probably doesn't have quite enough time to update the display anymore.

Even then, the screen is slightly too tall for NTSC, so it's not a good release.

This is not a bug worth fixing - play the PAL version instead if you want it to run correctly.
