By the time that Arkham Knight had rolled around, the rhythm and balance of a Batman game had been utterly perfected to an insane degree.
The rage and the fury of a billionaire with issues and too much money on his hand, perfected into an experience that combines cutting edge technology with the drive to defeat crime by any means necessary. Let me get something straight here: Batman Arkham Knight is the ultimate Batman simulator. A change in mood that didn’t quite gel with the idea of Batman.

What developer Rocksteady games created, was nothing short of the benchmark that all superhero games aspired to in the years to come. A new franchise was born, one of darkness and mystery, pitting the world’s greatest detective against his entire rogues gallery. Something magical happened in 2008 however. They were action games that played it safe, adventures in colourful episodes that were content with sticking to the status quo. Superhero games before 2008, were…well they were alright.
