A Concise History of Batman in Video Games

UGO writes,

"That Batman is the coolest superhero ever is at this point an undeniable fact. Or at least it is in the mind of this humble, unbiased writer. I mean the Dark Knight just reeks of awesome in a way that his other tights laden colleagues just have trouble emulating. That said, when it comes to video games, old Bats has often gotten the short end of the stick. Often mired in mediocrity, only a few Bat-centric games have managed to tap into the coolness that makes Bruce Wayne's alter-ego the venerable bees knees that he is.

Batman: Arkham Asylum may have finally delivered on the wishes of Batman fans everywhere (see our glowing review), but it's still worth taking a look at the Dark Knight's performance in the video game world, and point out the gems that managed to buck the sub-par trend along the way."

Most of the Batman games were absolutely horrible. I think the only two really good ones were Batman on NES and Batman Returns.

I guess that just makes Arkham Asylum look that much better.

The only Batman game I have played is the demo of Arkham Asylum, I was mighty impressed with the amount of polish and blend of action and stealth. The demo sold me on it.

Its funny that just once character from DC universe annihilates anything from marvel universe :)

ShabzS5383d ago

yeah i played batman vengence on my pc a couple of years ago ... apart from the bad camera controls it was really a decent game ...

FCOLitsjustagame5383d ago

I don't really like batman. He and most of his enemies are pretty cheesy. That said the demo was quite impressive and probably the best superhero game demo to date. I am seriously considering this game even if it does have the Caped Crusader (NO CAPES!!) and over the top comicy villians.

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia679d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

Mobis-New-Nest679d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.

I wonder how many already have them.

gamefreaks365900d ago

Yeah, that's a good point. Still, if anyone missed out on them, this is a great deal.

Jeriphro900d ago

Wow. That is so cheap, but I know I personally already have all the games in the list. haha. I guess I should have waited.
