Top-Rated Batman Games: An Ultimate Ranking

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

But recently, Batman's game appearances have become less frequent. A truly standalone Batman game hasn't launched since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate indication of a new title on the horizon. While comic fans have plenty of upcoming superhero games to anticipate, those eager to don the cowl will have to explore the back catalog for the best Batman gaming experiences.

He featured prominently in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, although it's not strictly a Batman-centric game. More importantly, the Arkhamverse expanded with a new VR entry. This article has been updated to include a more detailed look at this VR experience, as well as updated image galleries for some of the best Batman games.
