DC's Batman once enjoyed a seemingly constant stream of new video game releases. The Dark Knight reigned supreme, and the Rocksteady Arkham series arguably revolutionized the superhero game genre, a legacy felt even today.

Lately, however, Batman's video game presence has dwindled. A true solo Batman adventure hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, with no immediate successors on the horizon. While comic book fans eagerly anticipate upcoming superhero titles, those yearning to don the cowl of Bruce Wayne must turn to 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 Caped Crusader. He featured prominently in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though Rocksteady's offering isn't strictly a Batman game. The Arkhamverse, however, expanded with a new VR entry. This review section has been updated to reflect this, and image galleries have been added for several of the best Batman games.
