The Dark Knight's reign in the video game world was once seemingly unstoppable, with new titles appearing with remarkable frequency. Rocksteady's Batman Arkham series, in particular, redefined superhero gaming, setting a high bar that continues to influence the genre today.
Yet, the Caped Crusader's recent video game appearances have been far less frequent. Since 2017's The Enemy Within, a dedicated Batman title has remained elusive. While the future holds exciting superhero game releases for comic book enthusiasts, fans longing to don the cowl will find the best experiences by revisiting the past.
