Gotham's Guardians: Top Batman Games Revealed

The Dark Knight's reign in the video game world was once a near-constant stream of new titles. Rocksteady's Batman Arkham series, in particular, significantly impacted the superhero game genre, setting a high bar that continues to influence releases today.

However, recent years have seen a noticeable decline in dedicated Batman games. Since 2017's The Enemy Within, a true standalone Batman adventure has been absent, with no official announcements suggesting an imminent change. While comic book fans have a robust lineup of upcoming superhero games to anticipate, those seeking to don the cowl of Bruce Wayne must delve into the past to uncover the best Batman games currently available.

He appeared in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though Rocksteady's offering isn't strictly a solo Batman game. The Arkhamverse also saw a new addition, a VR experience. This entry has been updated with expanded details on the VR game. Additionally, image galleries have been included for several of the best Batman games on this list.
