Batman: Arkham - The Complete Story & Timeline
Batman has faced nearly every test imaginable throughout the Batman: Arkham series and has always persevered, making its version of the Caped Crusader one of the most iconic and memorable iterations of the character. Even though the series centers on Batman, there are many moments throughout it where other members of the Bat Family take the spotlight for a while, with Batman: Arkham's Dick Grayson potentially taking the Batman mantle after the events of the final game, making each iteration more diverse and expansive than the last. With Rocksteady pulling ahead with a new Arkhamverse game next year in the form of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, now would be a great time to look back on the series and go through the history of what Batman has been through.
The Batman: Arkham games have included four main releases, one side-scrolling spin-off after Batman: Arkham Origins, and a spin-off in the form of a short virtual reality game after the release of Batman: Arkham Knight. Rocksteady released its first edition in the series - Batman: Arkham Asylum — back in 2009, following the cancellation of Pandemic's The Dark Knight tie-in game. Arkham Asylum redefined the superhero genre in video games, taking what had until that point been a character few games had been able to authentically portray and providing one of the most compelling action-adventure titles full-stop. Arkham Asylum spawned a host of imitators after its release, with few coming close to the level of detail or polish Rocksteady was able to achieve.
