Once upon a time, DC's **Batman** was a staple in the gaming world, with a new game seemingly released every other year. Under Rocksteady's creative direction, the Dark Knight not only dominated the gaming scene but also played a pivotal role in elevating the standards of superhero video games, an impact that resonates to this day.

However, in recent years, Batman's presence in the gaming realm has diminished significantly. The last standalone Batman game, *The Enemy Within*, was released back in 2017, and since then, there has been a notable absence of new developments or announcements regarding future titles. While fans of comic-based games have a plethora of upcoming superhero titles to anticipate, those eager to don Bruce Wayne's iconic cowl must turn to the past to experience the **best Batman games**.

***Updated December 23, 2024 by Mark Sammut:*** *While the release of new Batman games has been sparse, 2024 marked a significant year for the Caped Crusader. Batman made an appearance in *Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League*, though it wouldn't be accurate to categorize Rocksteady's game solely as a Batman title. Additionally, the Arkhamverse expanded with a new VR entry, which has prompted an expansion of the section dedicated to that game. Furthermore, galleries have been added to highlight some of the **best Batman games**.*
