The Dark Knight's reign in the video game world: a look back at the best Batman games. For a time, it seemed a new Batman game was released almost annually. Rocksteady's Batman Arkham series, in particular, redefined superhero gaming. But recently, the Caped Crusader has been absent from the spotlight. His last true standalone game, The Enemy Within, launched in 2017, and there's been little indication of a new title on the horizon.
While comic book fans eagerly anticipate upcoming superhero titles, those wanting to don the cowl will have to delve into the past to find the top Batman gaming experiences.
Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Despite the recent lull in new Batman games, 2024 proved significant for the Dark Knight. 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 review has been updated to reflect this, with the VR game section expanded and new galleries added for several of the best Batman games.
