it’s time to be the bat welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 Batman
games before we begin we publish new
videos every day so be sure to subscribe
for more great content for this list
we’re looking at the most successful and
well-regarded video games starring the
Dark Knight at a time I misdirected a
small comfort for the ones who died in
my place number 10 Batman the telltale
series
[Music]
after demonstrating that exploring the
emotional frailties of a character was
pretty much their bread and butter and
hits like the walking dead and wolf
among us telltale episodic formula
seemed like the perfect match for the
Caped Crusader and for the most part we
weren’t disappointed diving into the
psyche of Bruce Wayne while also giving
us some pretty badass moments as Batman
players were treated to an ongoing
mystery surrounding the Wayne legacy as
well as a reimagining of some of the
comic book icons greatest talents oh and
we totally had the option to bang
Catwoman
awesome I was hoping for something more
than that number 9 Batman Returns
[Music]
despite it’s pretty much boiling down to
being a side-scrolling beat-em-up
this title is nonetheless a damn good
side-scrolling beat-em-up
then again it does feature Batman so
that kind of automatically elevates it
from mediocrity with something of a
sharp difficulties like the variety of
enemies and bosses aren’t the easiest to
take down requiring players to mesh
button mashing with actual strategy if
they want to win the day all in all this
golden oldie is still a fun time worthy
of The Dark Knight
number eight Lego Batman 2 DC
superheroes
yes it’s Gotham’s very own playboy
philanthropist versus some bald guy from
Metropolis taking the fun of the
original and sprinkling it with some
impressive voice casting and even
intriguing narrative our second venture
into the world of Lego Batman was
nothing but a ton of fun other people’s
somewhere else that need your help right
now
yeah actually there are which 75
characters to play as in a vast brick
layered open-world setting not only did
we get to enjoy all the bells and
whistles that stemmed from the first
game but it was also a much funnier
experience thanks to the brilliant voice
work provided by actors like Troy Baker
and Clancy Brown all contained in a
genuinely well told and hilarious
narrative who says that Batman always
has to brood brave work Batman I have to
admit I couldn’t have done it without a
little help from my friends a little
number 7 Batman
taking a page out of ninja guidance but
this classic on the NES in many ways
helped lay the foundation for many
future Batman games by having the Caped
Crusader actually be able to leap around
the stage while lashing out with all
manner of fat gadgets with this extra
little bit of freedom
[Music]
for the time this put it far above other
superhero feed games actually retaining
some of the identity that viewers had
seen in Michael Keaton’s much darker
portrayal of the character it also gave
us a series of then-unknown DC villains
in video game form anyway such as
Deadshot heat wave and cagey beast hey
we all have to start somewhere
[Music]
number 6 The Adventures of Batman and
Robin
[Music]
fans of the masterpiece that was Batman
the Animated Series were given quite a
treat when this little number for the
Super NES came out not only did it
perfectly capture the fuel of the show
with its atmosphere in artistic style
but it also gave us a platformer that
included both puzzles to solve and a
whole slew super villains to chase down
as each of Batman’s greatest both had
their own stage and unique set of
challenges to overcome
much like the show it was based on the
game ups the ante for the dynamic duo
in the best way possible
number five Batman Arkham Knight and
Godwin is bird what do you want I can
see that same fire in your eyes while
not quite the ending that diehard fans
were hoping for the finale to Rock
Steady’s Arkham trilogy was in no way a
failure of a game in fact it was
downright majestic whether by grapple
gun or by Batmobile we got to explore
Gotham City in all of its macabre glory
as we pursued various side quests that
featured our favorite villain all while
having to contend with the remnants of
the Joker’s madness as well as the
threat of the enigmatic Arkham Knight
who’s totally not the Red Hood not at
all you’re old you’re predictable and
you never stood a chance could it have
been better yeah sure but there’s no
denying that no other entry in the
series was packed with as much darkness
and tragedy as this one and we’re not
just talking about the original PC port
it’s number four Lego Batman the
videogame taking the open-world formula
that had made the Lego Star Wars game
such success players were given freedom
to mess around Gotham as a member of the
bat family or as one of Arkham’s most
notorious inmates it also featured a
hefty campaign filled to the brim with
collectables and secrets just waiting to
be uncovered all while assuming the
mantle of a farm or miniature yet still
quite awesome Dark Knight number three
injustice to you you need to concentrate
hardly not at all what I meant
NetherRealm Studios first injustice game
and already said a strong precedent for
fighting games with engrossing stories
but injustice too is where the studio
truly brought their a-game following up
from the first game Batman and a
dictator version of Superman are forced
into an uneasy alliance to stop Brainiac
from abducting cities across the earth
you are not exceptional merely an
ordinary specimen of primitive species
while it sounds like standard Tomiko
fare it’s the interactions and friction
between former Justice League members
that gives comic-book fans the DC
equivalent of Marvel’s civil war that
they’ve been waiting for dare we say
that in the end the story ends up being
a far better Batman vs. Superman
tale than Batman V Superman whoa shots
fired
I missed the people we were then
me too number two Batman Arkham Asylum
let’s make it with yet that I’m Tammy
Jovi Saturday that claw taking the Caped
Crusader out of the shadows and into the
madhouse the first entry in what would
become the legendary Arkham trilogy took
the gaming world by storm by delivering
the definitive Batman experience up
until that time at least I’m really not
interested in a bunch of flower
combining addictive and well
orchestrated combat actual detective
work
amateur narrative as well as the return
of the voice cast from the original
animated series we’ve never felt as
beastly or as vulnerable as we did as we
traversed the dark corners of Arkham
with nothing but our wit gadgets and
fists to protect us from it’s psychotic
inhabitants whether for the action or
the scares we won’t be forgetting our
time in the asylum anytime soon and my
control number one Batman Arkham City
never been wiser billion advocate
millionaires so last year
so how do you improve upon perfection by
giving us everything we’ve loved about
Arkham Asylum setting it in a more open
world and weeding it together with a
thriving narrative to feed Batman battle
against the Joker in a twisted but oh so
fitting finale trapped inside a city
sized prison with some of his most
dangerous adversary The Dark Knight
finds himself dealing with the devious
ploys of Hugo Strange the shadowy
operations of the League of Assassins as
well as the Joker’s last desperate gag
combine this with some of modern gaming
best boss fights plenty of meaty side
quests and hundreds of Riddler
challenges to conquer and you have
undoubtedly Batman’s finest hour
