BATTMAN GAMES SERIES

Originally a handheld companion game to Batman: Arkham Origins (which came to 3DS and PS Vita in 2013), this Deluxe Edition featured new maps, new maps, enemies, difficulty levels and batsuits, as well as enhanced visuals compared to the handheld original.Ī 2.5D, Metroidvania-style game, Batman: Arkham Origins – Blackgate Deluxe Edition sees a riot break out at Blackgate Penitentiary a few months after the events of Arkham Origins. Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (PS3/Wii/Xbox 360, 2012) It’s a very clever, very well done bonus feature! 9.

This allows the handheld player to ‘invade’ the Wii game as the mischievous little Bat-Mite. That’s because the best feature – and something that really elevates Batman: The Brave and the Bold – is the fact that the Wii version can connect to the DS game. The DS version is just about the better version of the game, but there’s a reason that we’ve combined the two versions into one entry on the best Batman games list! Players switch between Batman and a different hero – to take advantage of their unique abilities – in order to proceed. The DS version, however, has Metroidvania elements. The Wii version is a side scrolling beat ‘em up with platforming elements, in which Batman can call upon different heroes to assist him. Made by WayForward Technologies – creators of Shantae (see our list of the best Shantae games here) and Aliens: Infestation, our pick for the top of the underrated DS games list, both games use the visual style of the cartoon to great effect. This video game adaptation of the show was excellent on both Wii and DS, yet felt very underrated.

BATTMAN GAMES SERIES

Based on a classic comic series in which – often unusual – combinations of heroes teamed up, the Batman: The Brave and the Bold animated show was a fun, deliberately campy throwback to a more family friendly era for Batman.
