Once upon a time, DC's Batman enjoyed a seemingly endless stream of new video games. The Dark Knight reigned supreme, and Rocksteady's acclaimed games arguably revolutionized the superhero gaming genre, a legacy felt even today.

This review now includes an expanded section on that game, plus added galleries showcasing some of the best Batman games.
