The best selection of Batman games on PlayStation
What are the best Batman games? Well, there a no shortage of contenders to choose from, because when you think about it Batman is the perfect video game protagonist. Bruce Wayne’s crime-fighting alter-ego excels at acrobatic hand-to-hand combat, of course, but he also has access to a wealth of...

Holy rocket-powered car soccer, Batman
Our mathematics might be slightly off here, but as far as we can tell, there have been about a trillion billion Batman movies. That's what it feels like, at least.

We've been waiting to see what WB Montréal is up to for what feels like an eternity. The developer has been teasing a new Batman game since September of last year, with mysterious social media posts hinting at a game featuring the Court of Owls. Fast forward to now and we're still none the wiser, really, save for a fresh report that...
News Unannounced Batman Game Teased on Social Media Again by WB Montreal
Capture the Knight
This upcoming Batman game has to be the worst kept secret in the video game industry following months of teasing from publisher WB Games Montreal. It still hasn't been officially announced as The Game Awards 2019 came and went, but a reveal must surely be closer than ever now that two more hints have just cropped up on social...
Rumour Upcoming Batman Game Will Be Officially Announced Next Month
All eyes on The Game Awards
A little earlier in the year, WB Games Montréal got everyone all excited about a possible new Batman title. This game, which is all but confirmed following pretty blatant teasers, is said to be named Batman: Arkham Legacy, and will allegedly focus on a Court of Owls storyline. It sounds rather exciting, but there aren't...
Rumour Is the Unannounced Batman Game Called Arkham Legacy?
A reveal at The Game Awards?
Last month, everybody thought we were gearing up for the announcement of a new Batman title during Sony's previous State of Play livestream. But then it came and went with no such reveal.

Featuring the Court of Owls?
Update: The developer has posted a fresh teaser this evening, showing those mysterious symbols much more clearly.

News New Batman Arkham Game Rumours Sound Like Absolute Nonsense
The Joker's having a laugh
Rumours of a new Batman: Arkham title being in development have been doing the rounds for years at this point, and we guess that it's time for another one. This latest "leak" comes from a supposed game tester over at Warner Bros., and that's more than enough to make you doubt it from the start. Of course, numerous websites...
Review Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode Five: Same Stitch (PS4)
Joke's on you
Telltale’s take on the Batman universe has been one of the few shining lights in its portfolio of late, and The Enemy Within has successfully eschewed the sophomore slump with another sterling five episode series that turns everything you know about the Dark Knight on its pointy-eared head. This finale is far from perfect, but...
Review Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode Four: What Ails You (PS4)
Ail be back
It’s testament to Telltale’s work within the Batman universe that we didn’t even realise Episode 4: What Ails You does away with the cape and cowl almost entirely. That’s right, for the majority of Season Two’s penultimate instalment, you’ll be blitzing it as billionaire playboy, Bruce Wayne. Clocking in at around an hour,...
News Telltale's Batman Will Actually Make Your Choices Matter
Two totally different finales
Love them or loathe them, your decisions rarely mean much in Telltale games. Many are willing to work with this, enjoying the illusion of choice and soaking up the story anyway; others feel like it undermines the entire point. Whichever fence you sit on, we’re quite impressed to learn that there’ll be two disparate...
News Telltale's Batman Continues with Episode 4 on 23rd January
Bat to black
Telltale’s trucking along with the second season of its Batman adaptation, announcing that Episode 4: What Ails You will release on 23rd January. It’s been a really strong series so far – despite some turbulence behind-the-scenes at the developer – so we’re looking forward to the penultimate instalment of The Enemy Within...
Review Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode Three: Fractured Mask (PS4)
Ready, steady, crook
The best thing about Batman: The Enemy Within so far is how many different relationships you’re forced to manage. Playing as both billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne and the Caped Crusader himself, Episode 3: Fractured Mask picks up where previous instalment The Pact left off, with the square-jawed suit right at the heart of...
Weirdness Telltale Has Really Gone and Cocked Up This Time
Mistakenly uses image of assassinated Russian ambassador
The new episode of Telltale’s Batman is genuinely one of the best chapters it’s put out in months, but Houston we have a problem. Eagle-eyed gamers have noticed an out-of-place asset in the title: the body of an assassinated Russian ambassador. We’re not going to host the images here...
Review Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode Two: The Pact (PS4)
Friends close, enemies closer
Oh, this is good. Telltale’s take on Batman has always traded on the duality of the Dark Night, but in this excellent instalment, all of its efforts come to fruition. Tasked with befriending Gotham’s most gruesome, Bruce Wayne’s morals are pushed to their limits, as he’s forced to ingratiate himself to the likes...
News Batman Voice Actor Says No More Arkham Games Are Planned
Back into the shadows
Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman in the Batman: Arkham series of games, has said that there are currently no plans for another Arkham title.

Review Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode One: The Enigma (PS4)
Riddle me this
Telltale’s take on Batman lore ended with a bang a little less than a year ago, and The Enemy Within picks up the baton from its predecessor without pumping the brakes. Episode 1: The Enigma once again puts an emphasis on Bruce Wayne, as the Riddler returns to Gotham with his trademark brand of brain-teasing supervillainry in tow...

The dark knight
Telltale Games introduced its version of the Joker – named John Doe in this story – during the first season of its episodic Batman series, and he’ll return in sequel The Enemy Within, which is scheduled to get underway next week. The neat thing is that the developer’s teasing how your decisions will shape the green-haired...

News Telltale Hints That The Wolf Among Us Rumours Are Fairytales
But there's probably a new Batman on the way
Good ol’ games media, you’ve only gone and done it again. We resisted the urge to write a report on the recent The Wolf Among Us rumours, where the voice actor who played Bigby Wolf in the popular comic book adaptation retweeted a tease regarding forthcoming Telltale announcements. To be honest, while...

News Oh! Batman: Return to Arkham Is Out on PS4
No Joker
Surprise: Batman: Return to Arkham is out now. Well, in some regions it is – those of you in the UK may have to wait until tomorrow.

Here's the launch...
Video Watch Us Become the Batman with PlayStation VR
Caped crusader
Batman: Arkham VR very much falls under the "experience" category rather than a full-fledged game, but how much would you pay to be the Dark Knight for an hour? Well, developer Rocksteady's charging $19.99/£15.99 for this, which certainly looks steep on the surface, but it's by far one of the best examples of virtual reality so far...
Review Batman: The Telltale Series - Episode 2: Children of Arkham (PS4)
Cobblehot
Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered, y'know? The second instalment of Telltale's burgeoning Batman yarn wastes no time reminding you of the most pivotal point in DC Comics lore, with brooding billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne casting a shadow over Crime Alley.

Review Batman: The Telltale Series - Episode 1: Realm of Shadows (PS4)
Gotham pity
Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered, y'know? You'd think that Telltale would be able to gloss over the most iconic origin story in superhero history, but the haughty Alfred Pennyworth takes an almost perverse pleasure in reminding you about the unfortunate fate of your mother and father at every opportunity. It's, as is always the case...
Round Up Batman PS4 Reviews Reveal the Telltale Title We Deserve
Much ado about Bruce
There was a time when a new Telltale title was an event, but given how prolific the publisher's been with its episodic output of late, its Batman series has been met by murmurs rather than fervour. That said, we love the studio's style of game, and a tale that promises to spotlight Bruce Wayne as much as the Caped Crusader...
News Holy Trophies, Batman! Telltale's New Series Has a Platinum
No Joker
Telltale are a little erratic when it comes to Trophies; The Walking Dead: Season One had a Platinum, but its successor didn't for some reason. As such you never quite know what you're going to get from the company, but fortunately, its all-new Batman series will ship with a silvery-blue gong. You won't need to do a fat lot to collect it...
News Batman Will Be the First Telltale Game with Multiplayer
Holy social innovation, Batman

E3 2016 Suit Up With The Reveal Trailer for Batman: Arkham VR
Rocksteady as she goes
One of the announcements in the mercifully brief PlayStation VR section of Sony's E3 press conference today was for Batman: Arkham VR. Let's be clear, this isn't just any Batman VR game, it's one developed by the best Batman devs in town: Rocksteady Studios. The title's reveal trailer teaches us very little about the game,...

M-rated story to start this summer

The post states that the deploy date for the content on the PlayStation 4 is 26th...
Game of the Year #7 - Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4)
Knight time
It's an indication that 2015 has been an impressive year for games, when a Rocksteady Studios Batman: Arkham title doesn't break into the Game of the Year Top Five list, and settles for a respectable seventh place from Push Square instead. Even its E3 2015 trailer was overshadowed beneath the cowl of amazing announcements that preceded...

The Dark Knight rises
Telltale Games, the developer of a billion other titles, is adding one more to its slate.

News Batman: Arkham Knight PS4 Patch 1.05 Adds Photo Mode
Superhero selfies
Bruce Wayne's no Peter Parker, but Batman: Arkham Knight's rain-slicked interpretation of Gotham City is just too darn pretty to ignore.

It's behind you
Spoiler alert: This article contains references to the conclusion of Batman: Arkham Knight. If you haven't finished the game yet, we'd recommend coming back to this article at a later date.
