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, standalone Batman game hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate indication of that changing. While comic book fans have numerous upcoming superhero titles to anticipate, those yearning to don the cowl of Bruce Wayne must delve into the past to discover the best Batman games available.
Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Despite a 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-centric title. The Arkhamverse, however, received a new VR installment. This entry has been expanded to reflect that addition. Furthermore, image galleries have been added to highlight several of the best Batman games.
