Every Batman Video Game Ranked From Worst To Best

6. Batman: Vengeance

All told, Ubisoft's tenure with the Batman license wasn't particularly great.

Most of the publisher's Bat titles were fairly terrible, which is made all the more frustrating by the fact that not only were they based entirely on the DC Animated Universe - aka the actual coolest thing ever - but also because Batman: Vengeance is actually a really damn good game when all's said and done.

Vengeance isn't able to match the lofty heights of Batman: Arkham, but as a continuation of (or prequel to?) The New Batman Adventures it's genuinely strong. The game relays the series' dark tone and art style perfectly, features all the renowned voice actors from the show - including Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as Batman and the Joker respectively - gameplay that's surprisingly immersive, and an absolute ripper of a story that kicks off with the death of the Joker.

It's essentially one long episode of Batman: The Animated Series, complete with episode titles and some fantastic presentation. What's not to love?

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.
