The Dark Knight's reign in the video game world was once a constant stream of new releases, almost annually. Rocksteady's Batman Arkham series, in particular, revolutionized superhero gaming, setting a high bar that continues to influence the genre today.
But the Bat-signal has dimmed considerably in recent years. A true, standalone Batman game hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's currently no official word on a new installment. While the future holds exciting superhero game releases, fans craving a Batman experience will find the best titles in the game's rich history.
Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Despite the recent lull in new Batman games, 2024 proved surprisingly significant for the Dark Knight. He featured prominently in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though it's not strictly a Batman game. More importantly, the Arkhamverse expanded into VR. This update includes an expanded section on the VR title and added galleries showcasing some of the best Batman games.
