Every Batman Video Game Ranked From Worst To Best

7. Lego Batman: The Videogame

TT Games were only just beginning to branch out of the Star Wars license when Lego Batman: The Videogame released in 2008, with Indiana Jones and Bionicle the only other Lego titles in their repertoire by then, but it still stands as one of the studio's greatest ever efforts.

Part of what makes the first Lego Batman so great isn't just that it retains the humour of the series' formative offerings (there isn't an ounce of spoken dialogue across the title), but the actual atmosphere of the game itself.

TT Games were able to use Danny Elfman's iconic score for Batman 1989 and it serves as the perfect backdrop from start to finish, thanks to the studio also delivering some of the best levels out of any of their Lego games.

Throw in a gigantic roster of Bat characters to play as AND a story that divides its time equally between the heroes and villains, and you have an all-time Lego themed classic.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
