Epic Batman Games: A Ranked Roundup

The Dark Knight's reign in the video game world was once a constant stream of new releases. Rocksteady's Batman games, in particular, are credited with revolutionizing the superhero game genre, a legacy felt even today.

Yet, recent years have seen a significant lull in Batman's video game appearances. A true solo Batman adventure hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, and the future remains uncertain. While comic book fans eagerly anticipate numerous upcoming superhero titles, those yearning to don the cowl will find the best Batman gaming experiences in the titles of yesteryear.

Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Despite the recent scarcity of new Batman games, 2024 proved surprisingly significant for the Caped Crusader. He featured prominently in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though this Rocksteady title isn't strictly a Batman game. The Arkhamverse, however, expanded with a new VR entry. This review section has been updated to reflect this, with additional detail on the VR game and expanded galleries showcasing some of the best Batman games.
