The Dark Knight's reign in the video game world was once unchallenged, with a seemingly endless stream of new titles. Rocksteady's contributions, in particular, redefined the superhero game genre, a legacy felt even today.
But recently, Batman's game appearances have dwindled. A true solo Batman adventure hasn't graced our screens since 2017's The Enemy Within, and there's no immediate indication of that changing. While comic fans eagerly anticipate upcoming superhero games, those seeking to don the cowl will need to delve into the past for the best Batman games.

This entry has been updated with more information. Additionally, image galleries have been added for some of the best Batman games.
