Why Batman: Arkham Knight still stands above most superhero games
Arkham Knight is the fourth mainline game in Rocksteady’s Batman franchise. While its launch was plagued with technical issues, the game was critically acclaimed in other areas. Arkham Knight introduced the driveable Batmobile, a first for the franchise. The expanded open world of Gotham City was also larger than that of Arkham City or Arkham Origins. Arkham Knight has a positive aggregate score of 87 on Metacritic with 89 reviews for the PS4 version.
Rocksteady followed it up with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in 2024, featuring the same Batman voiced by the late Kevin Conroy. While the game didn’t meet expectations, players praised Conroy’s performance in it. At the time of writing, there has been no official announcement for a mainline Batman video game follow-up.
Batman: Arkham Knight is available on PS4 and playable on PS5 via backwards compatibility.
