Once upon a time, DC's Batman enjoyed a seemingly endless stream of new video games. The Dark Knight reigned supreme, and Rocksteady's acclaimed titles arguably revolutionized the superhero game genre, a legacy felt even today.
Lately, however, Batman's video game presence has dwindled. A proper solo adventure hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate sign of that changing. While comic book fans eagerly anticipate upcoming superhero titles, those yearning to don the cowl of Bruce Wayne must turn to the past to discover the truly great Batman games.
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, received a VR addition. This entry has been updated to reflect this release. Additionally, image galleries have been included for several of the top-rated Batman games.
