Batman Games: A Ranked Compilation

Once upon a time, DC's Batman enjoyed a seemingly constant stream of new video games. The Dark Knight reigned supreme, and his Rocksteady-developed titles arguably revolutionized the superhero game genre, a legacy felt even today.

Lately, however, Batman's video game presence has dwindled. A proper solo Batman adventure hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate indication of that changing. Though comic book fans anticipate numerous upcoming superhero games, those eager to don the cowl of Bruce Wayne must look to the past for the best Batman gaming experiences.

Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Despite the recent lull in new Batman titles, 2024 proved surprisingly significant for the Caped Crusader. He appeared in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though Rocksteady's game isn't strictly a Batman-centric experience. The Arkhamverse, however, expanded with a new VR entry. This review section has been updated to reflect this release. Additionally, image galleries have been added for several of the best Batman games.
