The Dark Knight's reign in the video game world was once a constant stream of new releases. Rocksteady's Batman games, in particular, revolutionized the superhero game genre, a legacy felt even today.
Yet, the Caped Crusader has recently taken a less prominent role. A true standalone Batman game hasn't launched since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate indication of a change. While comic fans eagerly await new superhero titles, those seeking to don the cowl will need to explore the past to discover the best Batman games.
Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Despite the recent lull in new Batman games, 2024 proved surprisingly significant for the Dark Knight. He appeared in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though it's not strictly a Batman-centric title. More importantly, the Arkhamverse expanded with a new VR entry. This review has been updated to reflect this release and includes expanded coverage of the VR experience. Additionally, image galleries have been added for several of the best Batman games.
