DC's Batman once enjoyed a seemingly constant stream of new video game releases. The Dark Knight reigned supreme, and the Rocksteady Arkham series arguably revolutionized superhero gaming, a legacy felt even today.
Lately, however, Batman's video game presence has dwindled. A proper solo Batman adventure hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate indication of that changing. While comic book 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: Despite the recent dearth of new Batman games, 2024 proved surprisingly significant for the Caped Crusader. He featured prominently in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though Rocksteady's offering isn't strictly a Batman game. The Arkhamverse, however, expanded with a new VR entry. This review has been updated to reflect this, with the VR game section expanded and image galleries added for several of the best Batman titles.
