Once upon a time, DC's **Batman** was a frequent star in the gaming world, with new releases seemingly every other year. The Dark Knight's popularity soared, and the series developed by Rocksteady Studios is often credited with pioneering a new wave of superhero video games that continues to thrive today.
However, recent years have seen Batman take a step back from the gaming spotlight. Since 2017's *The Enemy Within*, fans of the Caped Crusader have not had a new standalone Batman game to enjoy, and there have been no announcements indicating a change on the horizon. While fans of comic book adaptations can look forward to a variety of upcoming superhero titles, those wishing to don Bruce Wayne's iconic cowl must revisit the past to experience the **best Batman games**.
Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Although new Batman games have been in short supply, 2024 marked a significant year for the Dark Knight. He featured prominently in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though it cannot be categorized strictly as a Batman game. Additionally, the Arkhamverse expanded with a new entry in VR format, and this section has been updated to reflect that. Furthermore, galleries have been included for several of the best Batman games, enhancing the visual experience for fans.
