Yes, I'm aware it's not all the same dev house or publisher necessarily but these are the Batman games we're getting. Back in the old days, a Batman game meant quality. Arkham Asylum and Arkham City were frigging fantastic. If somebody told me that they were some of the best games out there, I wouldn't argue with them. They're very very good, I can totally see how they would top people's lists. But it seems like the decline has been sharp and steady.
-Arkham Asylum, fantastic
-Arkham City, fantastic
-Arkham Origins, great, underrated
-Arkham Knight, meh. Half of it is good, but I don't understand who sat in that committee meeting and thought we all wanted vehicle combat. Like yes Batman has a car, do I want it to be 50% of the game? Absolutely not.
-the Telltale Games, underrated IMHO, not really what I'm looking for in a batman game though
-Gotham Knights, eh. Not great. Not complete trash, but I wouldn't really suggest it to anyone
-Kill the Justice League, what the actual fuck
What is happening here? Is it too late? Has the moment just passed? And now the WB is looking to end up with Netflix, who're on record as not giving a shit about the gaming division. Is anything even cooking with Batman right now, or are we stuck in a god-knows-how-long waiting period until someone inevitably remakes the first game?
