Batman™: Arkham Knight Reviews

Batman is one of the most iconic and enduring characters in popular culture, with a legacy that spans over 80 years. Created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 in 1939, and since then, he has evolved into a symbol of justice, darkness, and human resilience. Unlike many superheroes, Batman does not possess superhuman abilities, relying instead on his intellect, physical prowess, and vast resources. This human element is one of the reasons why Batman resonates so deeply with fans. He’s a character who reflects the potential within all of us, showing that with determination, training, and the right mindset, ordinary people can rise to extraordinary challenges. What makes Batman particularly fascinating is the duality of his character. On one hand, he’s Bruce Wayne, a billionaire playboy and philanthropist, and on the other, he’s the Dark Knight, a vigilante fighting crime in the shadows of Gotham City. This contrast between his public persona and his secret identity is central to his story. Bruce Wayne's tragic past, particularly the loss of his parents, shapes his desire for justice and his relentless pursuit of ridding Gotham of crime. His trauma is what drives him to be Batman, and yet, it’s also his greatest vulnerability. This struggle between his need for justice and the toll it takes on him personally is what makes Batman such a complex and relatable character. Batman’s rogues' gallery is another aspect that makes him unique. Unlike many heroes who battle one or two major villains, Batman faces a wide variety of adversaries, each with their own motivations and psychological depth. From the Joker, his chaotic arch-nemesis, to the complex and tragic figures like Harvey Dent (Two-Face) and Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy), Batman’s villains are often reflections of his own inner demons. This dynamic creates a constant psychological battle, not just for Gotham’s soul but for Batman’s own. The Batcave, the Batmobile, and the Bat-Signal are just a few of the iconic symbols associated with Batman, contributing to the mythos surrounding him. The dark, gothic tone of Gotham City itself is almost like a character, providing the perfect backdrop for Batman’s crusade. His detective skills, combined with his advanced technology, allow him to solve crimes and fight evil in ways that few other superheroes can. Batman’s influence extends beyond comic books into films, television, and video games. Each adaptation brings something new to the character, but the core of Batman remains the same: a hero driven by a desire to protect the innocent, even at great personal cost. From Tim Burton’s gothic films to Christopher Nolan’s gritty, realistic trilogy, and the animated series that defined a generation, Batman has become a cultural touchstone. He’s a hero who proves that anyone can make a difference, even if they have to do so alone in the darkness. In the end, Batman is more than just a superhero; he’s a symbol of perseverance, a testament to the power of the human spirit. His journey from a traumatized orphan to a defender of justice is one that resonates deeply with people around the world. Through his struggles and triumphs, Batman reminds us that even in a world full of darkness, there is always hope for those brave enough to stand up and fight for what’s right.

I never played this game when it came out in 2015 I had a crappy laptop and I was going through homelessness and unemployment issues. I am just now playing this game for the first time in 2025 on my powerful gaming desktop in 4k and this game is incredible.

Very fun combat, fun movement, fun puzzle, fun stealth, pretty good story.

This game was a great way to end the Arkham series. It had a buggy launch but nearly rivals Arkham City in terms of the quality of the story. There's a lot more to do in this game though (even though I still prefer Arkham City), and it has graphics and game-play mechanics that are better than a lot of new titles being released today. This game along with all the others are must-buy games for your library.

One word to describe this game "PEAK". Best combat, loved the graphics the story-line, everything seemed so better and playing this 9 years later still feels too good. No way would someone even believe this game came in 2015. Would recommend everyone whether fan of batman or not to give this game a try this is just PEAK. 100/10.

After playing Arkham City and then moving on to Arkham Knight, the difference is incredible. The graphics, impact sounds, and overall movement feel so much smoother and faster. It was an amazing experience. The story is excellent, and the side missions are well-designed. I highly recommend playing this masterpiece. I really hope they continue the Batman series in a great way—not like Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which have terrible gameplay and weak stories. My rating for the game: 10/10 – A masterpiece. 🖤🦇

A third-person action game in which you play batman and beat up baddies. Oh, and you drive a futuristic Batmobile. The final installment of the Arkham series. And, because it's the last one, they really go for several big whammies. I played with all the DLC, for 29 hours or so. And I did everything but the Riddler collectables, because just no. + Great sound design, from the music to the thunk of impact. + Fantastic voice acting all around! + The inclusion of your 'spirit guide' is incredibly funny, witty and delightfully depraved. + The Batmobile is fantastic! Feels suitably overpowered. + Many of the stories are well-written and have some actual depth. + The Flow battle system continues to be great. - When will they realize the Riddler collectibles are not actually fun, just tedious. It's the one thing I didn't finish. - Tank battles go on and on. A decent ending to the series.

Beating these thugs into oblivion all night is so satisfying. My body generates new emotions when I see them tremble. That's not even the best part about this game though, the best part is getting my dirty hands on the Riddler after an extenuating amount of time spent following his conundrums. When you finish this game you will have one question, are we sure batman isn't killing these people? As you break more and more bones we can only wonder.

Best Batman game ever! Story was interesting and fun. Combat and mechanics were so good. AR challenges are fun and won't bores you. (Side quests are same too) Voice actings were realy well performed. (Especially the random Joker speechs/cutscenes) And that iconic death cam speechs... Brilliant. Overall = It was AWESOME!
