DC's Batman once enjoyed a prolific video game presence, seemingly receiving a new title every other year. The Dark Knight's popularity, particularly during Rocksteady's acclaimed Arkham series, undeniably contributed to the current golden age of superhero gaming.
Lately, however, Batman's game appearances have dwindled. A dedicated Batman title hasn't launched since 2017's The Enemy Within, with no immediate successors on the horizon. While comic book fans anticipate numerous upcoming superhero games, those eager to don the cowl will find the best experiences by revisiting past titles.

He featured prominently in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though Rocksteady's offering isn't strictly a solo Batman adventure. The Arkhamverse also expanded with a new VR entry. This review has been updated to reflect this new release and includes expanded commentary and additional galleries showcasing some of the best Batman games available.
