Once upon a time, DC's Batman enjoyed a seemingly constant stream of new video games. The Dark Knight reigned supreme, and his Rocksteady-developed adventures arguably revolutionized the superhero game genre, a legacy felt even today.
Lately, however, Batman's video game presence has dwindled. A true, solo Batman title hasn't launched since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate indication of that changing. While comic book fans eagerly anticipate numerous upcoming superhero games, those wanting to don the cowl will have to delve into the past to discover the best Batman gaming experiences.
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 Rocksteady's offering isn't strictly a Batman game. The Arkhamverse, however, expanded with a new VR entry. This review section has been updated to reflect this, and image galleries have been added for several of the best Batman games.
