Top-Selling Batman Games: The Dark Knight's Greatest Hits

Introduction

We watched a lot of superheroes as kids, including Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and others. However, I think Batman is the most awesome of them all. Despite his villainous appearance, he doesn't act like one. I have never seen a more enigmatic superhero than him. This article may discuss Batman a lot, which is why I am talking about him so much at the moment. We'll be examining the best-selling Batman video games ever today. 

At third place…

The action-adventure video game Batman: Arkham Knight was created by Rocksteady Studios and released by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in 2015. It is the follow-up to the 2013 video game Batman: Arkham Origins, the direct sequel to Batman: Arkham City (2011), and the fourth significant installment in the Batman: Arkham franchise. It is modeled after the character Batman from DC Comics. Sefton Hill, Ian Ball, and Martin Lancaster wrote Arkham Knight, drawing inspiration from the long-standing mythos of comic books. Nine months after the events of Arkham City, the game's main plot revolves around Batman's encounter with Scarecrow, who has attacked Gotham City and compelled a citywide evacuation. With the mysterious Arkham Knight's help, Scarecrow intends to unite all of Gotham's criminals in an attempt to ultimately defeat Batman. Played in the third person, the game primarily emphasizes Batman's tools, detective abilities, stealth, and melee combat. In the open world of Gotham City, Batman can move freely, interact with characters, finish quests, and explore new areas by moving through the main plot or gaining new equipment. The player can complete side chores unrelated to the main plot in order to earn more content and collectible items. Combat focuses on chaining assaults together against several enemies while avoiding injury, whilst stealth allows Batman to lurk across an area and employ gadgets and the environment to covertly defeat adversaries. In Arkham Knight, the Batmobile is a playable vehicle that may be used for transportation, puzzle solving, and combat.

At second place…

The 2011 action-adventure video game Batman: Arkham City was created by Rocksteady Studios and released by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Based on the DC Comics superhero Batman, it is the second installment in the Batman: Arkham series and the sequel to the 2009 video game Batman: Arkham Asylum. Legendary Batman author Paul Dini, along with Paul Crocker and Sefton Hill, created Arkham City, drawing inspiration from the long-standing comic book mythology. The primary narrative of the game is that Bruce Wayne is imprisoned in Arkham City, a super-prison that encloses the run-down urban slums of Gotham City. He changes into Batman and embarks on a mission to uncover the truth about a sinister scheme that Hugo Strange, the facility's warden, has devised. The game is presented in the third person and focuses heavily on Batman's fighting and stealth skills, investigative skills, and devices that may be used in both combat and exploration. Batman is free to move around the Arkham City prison, interacting with inmates and accomplishing goals as he progresses through the main plot or gains new equipment. The player can complete side chores unrelated to the main plot in order to earn more content and collectible items. Batman's ally Catwoman is another playable character whose campaign is similar to the game's main plot. Rocksteady had ideas for a sequel while working on Arkham Asylum, and in February 2009 they began to take the plot of Arkham City seriously. Arkham City's virtual footprint is five times larger than Arkham Asylum's, and the city's layout was changed to accommodate Batman's flying and swooping powers. Over a year and ten million dollars were spent on the game's marketing effort, which also included the production of two music CDs. Eleven original songs by well-known musicians that were influenced by the game were included in one, while the other contained the game's soundtrack. Arkham City for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles was released worldwide in October 2011, and a version for Microsoft Windows followed a month later. Critics praised the game, especially for its plot, characters, environment design, soundtrack, and Batman's combat and traversing abilities. Game of the Year, Best Action Game, Best Action Adventure Game, Best Adventure Game, and Best Original Score were among the numerous awards it received from media publications. According to review aggregator Metacritic, it was tied with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the highest rating of 2011. Like its predecessor, it is considered one of the greatest video games ever made. The game has made more than $600 million and sold more than 12.5 million units.

At first place…

The action-adventure video game Batman: Arkham Asylum was created by Rocksteady Studios and released by Eidos Interactive in collaboration with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in 2009. Arkham Asylum, written by acclaimed Batman author Paul Dini and centered on the DC Comics superhero Batman, was inspired by the long-running comic book mythology. In the game's central plot, Batman battles his archenemy, the Joker, who devises a sophisticated plan to seize Arkham Asylum, lock Batman and many of his prisoners within, and threaten Gotham City with hidden bombs. The game is presented in the third person and focuses heavily on Batman's combat and stealth skills, investigative abilities, and combat and exploration-useful gadgets. Batman can move freely about the Arkham Asylum complex, interacting with characters, completing missions, and accessing new areas by progressing through the main plot or obtaining new equipment. The player can complete side chores unrelated to the main plot in order to earn more content and collectible items. Combat focuses on chaining assaults together against several enemies while avoiding injury, whilst stealth allows Batman to lurk across an area and employ gadgets and the environment to covertly defeat adversaries. At Rocksteady Studios, a team of 40 people began development in May 2007 and expanded to 60 by the project's conclusion, which took roughly 21 months. The game's design was inspired, among other things, by Neal Adams and Frank Miller's Batman comics and Grant Morrison's graphic novel Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. The core plot and gameplay elements of Arkham Asylum, which was created with Unreal Engine 3, were enhanced by a variety of modifications, including the combat system. This led to the elimination of some of Batman's main enemies who didn't fit in with the rest of the game. Rocksteady began brainstorming concepts for a sequel to Arkham Asylum months before the game's completion, hiding hints about it throughout the game. Arkham Asylum's success led to the creation of the Batman: Arkham series, which began in 2011 with Arkham City, its immediate sequel and now includes video game spin-offs and sequels, comic books, merchandise, and movies.

Conclusion

To sum up, I thought that the top three selling games must have started and sustained the series. Now that I think about it, I had no idea the series started in the 2009s. I had no idea that there were two parts before, and I assumed the Arkham Knight was the first. I am currently playing Arkham Knight, and it is not disappointing, so I feel like trying them out. Given that they are too ancient and might include the same plots as the classic comics, I'm curious to see what the other two look like.
