All 9 Batman: Arkham Video Games, Ranked
Collider ranks the nine Batman: Arkham games, arguing that the franchise’s critical acclaim, commercial success and storytelling have made it one of the most popular superhero game series. The provided extract covers the lower end of the list, highlighting spin-offs that broadened Arkham across handheld, mobile and virtual-reality platforms.
– Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate (2013) ranks ninth: a 2.5-D sequel about Batman stopping a Blackgate prison riot led by Penguin, Joker and Black Mask; it received mixed reviews but retains some Arkham appeal.
– Batman: Arkham City Lockdown (2011) ranks eighth: a mobile fighting-game prequel focused largely on Poison Ivy, criticised as repetitive despite its voice work and serviceable story.
– Batman: Arkham VR (2016) ranks seventh: described as immersive, but limited by the relative immaturity of VR gaming at the time.
- Arkham’s lower-ranked games were mainly platform-specific spin-offs.
- Blackgate offered familiar Arkham charm despite mixed reviews.
- Lockdown and Arkham VR faced repetition and technological limitations.
