Every Batman Video Game Ranked From Worst To Best

18. Batman: Arkham VR

Batman Arkham VR
Rocksteady

Rocksteady will be returning to the Arkhamverse with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in the next couple of years, but their last foray into the universe they created was Batman: Arkham VR, which released in 2016.

Set in between Arkham City and Arkham Knight, Arkham VR does what it says on the tin by literally putting players in Batman's shoes. It's the first and only Arkham title to adopt a first person perspective, and entails no combat of any kind - just good old fashioned detective work.

VR is still in its infancy as a true force in the medium but Rocksteady were able to deliver on the promise of an immersive Batman game with their last contribution. It's not without its issues, and it's not going to convince VR sceptics it's worth trying, but it's still decent.

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.
