Batman's Epic Gaming Legacy Unveiled

The Dark Knight's reign in the video game world was once a near-constant stream of new releases. Rocksteady's Batman Arkham series, in particular, revolutionized superhero gaming, setting a high bar that continues to influence the genre today.

But the Bat-signal has dimmed considerably in recent years. A dedicated Batman game hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, leaving fans yearning for a new adventure. While the comic book world offers plenty of upcoming titles, those seeking to don the cowl will have to delve into the past to uncover the best Batman games available.

Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Despite the recent lull in new Batman releases, 2024 proved surprisingly significant for the Caped Crusader. He appeared in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though this Rocksteady title isn't strictly a solo Batman outing. More importantly, the Arkhamverse expanded with a new VR entry. This article has been updated to include expanded coverage of that release, and additional image galleries showcasing some of the best Batman games.
