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 Arkham series arguably revolutionized the superhero game genre, a legacy felt even today.
Lately, however, Batman's gaming presence has dwindled. A true solo Batman adventure hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate indication of that changing. Though comic fans have numerous upcoming superhero games to anticipate, those eager to don the cowl of Bruce Wayne must 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 titles, 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-centric game. The Arkhamverse, however, received a new VR installment. This entry has been updated to reflect that release. Furthermore, image galleries have been added to highlight several of the best Batman games.
