The Dark Knight's reign in the video game world was once a near-constant stream of new titles. Rocksteady's Batman Arkham series, in particular, revolutionized superhero gaming, setting a high bar that continues to influence the genre today.
But lately, Batman's video game presence has dwindled. A truly standalone Batman adventure hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate indication of that changing. While comic fans eagerly anticipate upcoming superhero games, those seeking to don the cowl will find the best Batman gaming experiences by revisiting the classics.
Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Despite the recent lull in new Batman games, 2024 proved surprisingly significant for the Caped Crusader. He appeared in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though it's not strictly a Batman game. More importantly, the Arkhamverse expanded with a new VR entry. This update includes an expanded section on that VR title and enhanced galleries for some of the top-rated Batman games.
