Once upon a time, DC's Batman enjoyed a seemingly constant stream of new video games. The Dark Knight was a gaming powerhouse, and his Rocksteady-developed titles arguably revolutionized the superhero game genre, a legacy felt even today.
Lately, however, Batman's gaming presence has dwindled. A true, standalone Batman game hasn't launched since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate indication of that changing. While comic fans eagerly anticipate upcoming superhero titles, those yearning to don the cowl will find the best Batman gaming experiences in the past.
Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Despite the 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 game. The Arkhamverse also saw a new addition – a VR experience. This entry has been updated to reflect this, and image galleries have been added for some of the best Batman games.
