The Batman: Arkham games sit alongside Insomniac’s Spider-Man as the best comic book games<\/a> ever made. With the Arkham series, Rocksteady Studios blended excellent freeflow combat, top-tier voice performances, and an inspired rendition of Gotham City to create an unforgettable collection of action-adventure superhero games.<\/p>\n

With a new VR addition to the Arkham series coming in October, we were inspired to create this chronology of the Batman: Arkham games for those interested in playing (or replaying) the best Batman games of all time.<\/p>\n

How to play in chronological order<\/a>How to play by release order<\/a><\/p>\n

How Many Batman Arkham Games Are There?<\/h2>\n

In total there are nine games in the Batman Arkhamverse<\/strong> now that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is available. However, only seven of the nine Arkhamverse games are currently playable \u2014 two mobile games have been shut down\/removed from mobile storefronts. Batman: Arkham Shadow will be the tenth addition to the series. <\/p>\n

Which Batman Arkham Game Should You Play First?<\/h3>\n

There are a few different ways you can start playing the Batman Arkham series as newcomer. If you’re wanting to go through the story chronologically, this will put your starting point at 2013’s Batman: Arkham Origins. However, because Origins was released years after the first game, it could potentially spoil the older games for you. If you want to experience the series by release date, you’d want to start with Batman: Arkham Asylum.<\/p>\n

Batman Arkham Games in Chronological Order<\/h2>\n

Below we\u2019ve outlined two ways to approach the Batman: Arkham games: chronologically by release date or chronologically by narrative. The choice is yours, and both possible paths are outlined below, beginning with the narrative chronology. <\/p>\n

With series newcomers in mind, these brief plot synopses contain only mild spoilers such as broad plot points and character introductions.<\/p>\n

1. Batman: Arkham Origins<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The first Arkham game chronologically is 2013\u2019s Batman: Arkham Origins<\/a>. Set on Christmas Eve in a snow-covered Gotham, Origins stars a less-experienced Batman who finds himself with a $50 million bounty on his head, drawing the attention of Gotham\u2019s finest criminals: the Joker, Black Mask, The Penguin, Mad Hatter, Bane, Deadshot, Firefly, and Killer Croc, among others. The ending hints at the reopening of Arkham Asylum, setting up the future events of Rocksteady\u2019s game of the same name.<\/p>\n

Notably, Origins stars Roger Craig Smith as Batman and Troy Baker as the Joker, subbing in for Arkham\u2019s regular superstar duo of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. While the Arkhamverse was established by Rocksteady Studios, Origins was developed by WB Montreal, the studio behind Gotham Knights. <\/p>\n

A mobile version of Arkham Origins was also released. While it plays much differently than its console counterpart \u2014 it\u2019s a brawler developed by Mortal Kombat studio NeatherRealm \u2014 it hits the same narrative beats.<\/p>\n

Available on:<\/strong> PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC | IGN\u2019s<\/strong> Batman: Arkham Origins Wiki<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate<\/a> is set three months after the events of Origins. Unlike the third-person adventures that comprise the mainline Arkham games, Blackgate is a 2.5D side-scroller developed by Armature Studio (Resident Evil 4 VR<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In Blackgate, Batman investigates the titular prison, where an explosion has freed its inmates. As the Caped Crusader, you explore three main areas, each controlled by one of Gotham\u2019s most notorious villains: Penguin, Black Mask, and the Joker. Other notable characters include Catwoman, Amanda Waller, and Rick Flag.<\/p>\n

Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker take another turn as Batman and the Joker.<\/p>\n

Available on:<\/strong> PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Nintendo DS, PS Vita, PC | IGN\u2019s<\/strong> Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate Wiki<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Batman: Arkham Underworld<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Batman: Arkham Underworld is a mobile game that positions you as Gotham\u2019s newest criminal mastermind, allowing you to command Batman villains such as Harley Quinn, The Riddler, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, and Killer Croc. It\u2019s essentially a free-to-play Gotham gang recruiter, in which you build a criminal hideout, recruit henchmen, and do battle. Kevin Conroy reprises his role as Batman following the mainline Arkham trilogy.<\/p>\n

Arkham Underworld is set sometime before Arkham Asylum, though it possesses little importance to the overall Arkhamverse narrative \u2014 which is fortunate considering it\u2019s no longer available to download<\/strong> (Arkham Underworld was shut down in 2017, only a year after it was released).<\/p>\n

Bonus: Batman: Assault on Arkham<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Batman: Assault on Arkham<\/a> is an animated film set in the Arkhamverse, roughly two years before Arkham Asylum. Those only interested in the games can skip the film without much effect, but those interested in the full Arkhamverse narrative should check it out \u2014 it\u2019s available to stream on HBO Max and happens to be a pretty entertaining movie; our review awarded it an 8.8, calling it \u201ca great heist film.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Arkham Underworld, Arkham Assault shines the spotlight on Batman\u2019s adversaries, following Harley, Joker, Riddler, and others as they infiltrate Arkham Asylum, ultimately freeing many of its most notorious inmates.<\/p>\n

Kevin Conroy once again voices Batman, while Troy Baker voices the Joker. Notably, Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian, Breaking Bad) lends his voice to Black Spider.<\/p>\n

Available on:<\/strong> HBO Max<\/p>\n

4. Batman: Arkham Asylum<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Rocksteady\u2019s first Batman game, Batman: Arkham Asylum<\/a> introduces us to the Arkhamverse\u2019s verson of the Caped Crusader (voiced by Kevin Conroy). It\u2019s the fourth game in the chronology but the first to be released. Mark Hamill\u2019s Joker serves as the primary villain, though the cast of characters also includes Harley Quinn, Commissioner Gordon, Scarecrow, Bane, Poison Ivy, and others.<\/p>\n

With the help of Harley Quinn, the Joker infiltrates the asylum to obtain a super-strength serum called Titan. The Clown Prince had bombs planted around Gotham City, threatening to detonate them should anyone come to Batman\u2019s aid, leaving our hero to deal with the asylum\u2019s escapees alone.<\/p>\n

Arkham Asylum\u2019s story was written by Paul Dino, whose long history with the franchise includes many writing credits on Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond.<\/p>\n

Available on:<\/strong> PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, PC | IGN\u2019s<\/strong> Batman: Arkham Asylum Wiki<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Batman: Arkham City Lockdown<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Released shortly after Arkham City, Batman: Arkham City Lockdown<\/a> is a fighter set between the events of Asylum and City. It\u2019s the first Arkham mobile game to be released and the second developed by NeatherRealm (the other being the aforementioned Arkham Origins mobile game).<\/p>\n

Narratively, Arkham City Lockdown features tons of Arkham staples, including the Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill), Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Penguin, Solomon Grundy, Poison Ivy, Deathstroke, Robin, and of course, Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy). The story centers around yet another prison escape that Batman must clean up. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ll spoil this one since the plot is relatively inconsequential and Arkham City Lockdown is no longer available to purchase: Batman prevails and returns the escaped prisoners to the asylum.<\/p>\n

Available on:<\/strong> N\/A | IGN\u2019s<\/strong> Batman: Arkham City Lockdown Wiki<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Batman: Arkham City<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Rocksteady\u2019s second game in the series, Batman: Arkham City<\/a> takes place a year and a half after Arkham Asylum. Following the events of Asylum, Mayor Quincy Sharp opens Arkham City, a section of Gotham City walled off to house criminals. Arkham City sees Batman navigating the lawless area while working to thwart the nefarious, overarching plot seemingly orchestrated by Hugo Strange.<\/p>\n

Batman must also deal with a separate threat from the Joker, who\u2019s dealing with the ill effects of the Titan serum he took during the events of Asylum.<\/p>\n

Arkham City\u2019s story, like Asylum\u2019s before it, was written by Paul Dini.<\/p>\n

Available on:<\/strong> PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC | IGN\u2019s<\/strong> Batman: Arkham City Wiki<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Batman: Arkham VR<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The series\u2019 lone virtual reality game, Batman: Arkham VR<\/a> is set shortly before the events of Arkham Knight. It\u2019s a narrative-driven game focused on detective work as Batman tries to solve the murder of a close ally.<\/p>\n

Given its nature as a story-heavy game, we can\u2019t say much here, but if you have access to a VR headset, Arkham VR is certainly worth playing, especially considering its brief ~90-minute runtime.<\/p>\n

The supporting cast includes Robin, Nightwing, Alfred Pennyworth, Penguin, Killer Croc, and Joker. Arkham VR stars Conroy and Hamill\u2019s Batman and the Joker. <\/p>\n

Available on:<\/strong> VR | IGN\u2019s<\/strong> Batman: Arkham VR Wiki<\/a><\/p>\n

8. Batman: Arkham Knight<\/h2>\n

The conclusion to Rocksteady’s trilogy of mainline Batman games, Batman: Arkham Knight<\/a> raises the stakes with the series’ biggest version of Gotham, its most varied cast of characters, and the introduction of a fully playable Batmobile.<\/p>\n

Arkham Knight is set on the night of Halloween, presumably less than a year after the events of City. Scarecrow (voiced by Lord of the Rings’ John Noble) is threatening Gotham City with his fear toxin, while a new threat surfaces in the mysterious Arkham Knight. Batman, all the while, is dealing with internal torment as an effect of the previous games.<\/p>\n

All three threads are wrapped up by the end of Arkham Knight’s ~16-hour campaign, though you’ll have to earn 100% completion to see the game’s true ending.<\/p>\n

In addition to Scarecrow and Arkham Knight, the supporting cast includes Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Penguin, Riddler, Two-Face, Robin, Commissioner Gordon, and Barbara Gordon.<\/p>\n

Available on:<\/strong> PS4, Xbox One, PC | IGN\u2019s<\/strong> Batman: Arkham Knight Wiki<\/a><\/p>\n

9. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League<\/h2>\n

Rocksteady\u2019s latest game takes us away from Batman and Gotham, yet it’s officially \u201ca continuation of the Arkhamverse<\/a>,\u201d according to the developer. Rocksteady promised \u201ca lot of the threads and storylines [from past Arkham games] will come to fruition.\u201d The game takes place about 5 years after the events of Arkham Knight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kill the Justice League shifts the focus to Task Force X, as players explore Metropolis as either Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, or King Shark. It\u2019snow available to play on consoles and PC.<\/p>\n

Available on:<\/strong> PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC<\/p>\n

What’s Next in the Arkham Series?<\/h2>\n

The next addition to the Batman Arkhamverse is a VR exclusive<\/a> releasing on the Meta Quest 3 in late 2024. In terms of this timeline, Batman: Arkham Shadow will be a direct sequel to Arkham Origins, though the developers cite Arkham Asylum<\/a> as their major source of inspiration. And while you may have been disappointed to learn the new Arkham game is all about VR, IGN’s hands-on preview of Arkham Shadow<\/a> led us to believe it still deserves the title of “a real Arkham game.”<\/p>\n
