DC's Batman once enjoyed a near-annual video game release, a testament to his enduring popularity. Rocksteady's acclaimed Batman Arkham series arguably revolutionized superhero gaming, setting a high bar that continues to influence the genre.
Lately, however, Batman's video game presence has diminished. A true solo Batman adventure hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate indication of that changing. While comic book fans eagerly anticipate upcoming superhero titles, those seeking to don the cowl will need to explore the back catalog to discover the best Batman games.
Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Despite a recent lull in new Batman game releases, 2024 proved surprisingly significant for the Dark Knight. He appeared 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 article has been updated with expanded coverage of that game, and new galleries showcasing some of the best Batman games have been added.
