DC's Batman once enjoyed a seemingly constant stream of new video game releases. The Dark Knight reigned supreme, and Rocksteady's acclaimed Arkham series arguably revolutionized superhero gaming, a legacy felt even today.
Lately, however, Batman's video game presence has diminished. A true solo Batman adventure hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, with no immediate prospects on the horizon. Though comic fans eagerly anticipate numerous upcoming superhero titles, those yearning to don the cowl will find the best Batman gaming experiences in the past.
Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: While new Batman games have been few and far between, 2024 marked a significant year for the Caped Crusader. He appeared in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though Rocksteady's offering isn't strictly a Batman-centric title. The Arkhamverse, however, expanded with a new VR entry. This review section has been updated to reflect this release. Additionally, image galleries have been added for several of the best Batman games.
