Batman: The Video Game

Batman has starred in video games for 40 years, and his early years were much weirder than a Gotham made of Lego bricks. We take a closer look at the strange origins of Batman games.

Lego Batman is a joyful celebration of the entire history of Batman, but during the late '90s the Dark Knight's games had to contend with living up to the reputation of The Animated Series and working with the woeful Batman and Robin film. This is how Batman endured his darkest video game era.
