Batman: From Comic Books to Video Games
Since Batman’s first appearance in the 1939 edition of Detective Comics, kids and adults worldwide have been fascinated by the Caped Crusader’s background, his associates, even his arch enemies. Besides the endless number of Batman comic books, television shows and movies have also made Batman popular among the masses. As a video game character, the Dark Knight made his first appearance in ZX Spectrum and MSX Microcomputers in the mid-1980s. The game was simply called Batman and the main objective was to rescue Robin. Ever since the release of the first Batman game the Dark Knight became a popular name in the video game industry, with the latest Batman: Arkham Asylum revered as the ‘Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever' by Guinness World Records.
Besides big-budget PC games, online Batman games are also a popular choice, especially among teenagers. They are free to play and only require the latest Flash Player 9 or 10 (download for free at Adobe.com) plug-in for IE or Firefox browsers. These 2D online flash games are fun to play and require minimum keyboard controls. Check out this nice compilation of free batman online games.
Free Batman Online Games--Batman: The Cobblebot Caper
When playing Batman: The Cobblebot Caper, you will notice that the graphics resemble the artwork of Batman: The Animated Series. This is one of the finest aspects of this Flash 2D side-scroller and that’s why it is one of the most popular free batman online games.
Cobblebot Caper puts you into the shoes of Batman to stop the devious plans of Penguin and his gang. Using the keyboard, you can glide, kick, punch and throw batarangs at enemies. However you will need to collect batarangs every moment to ensure you have a huge stock to kill main bosses at the end of each level. The game is addictive and allows you to score points, but later levels can become much difficult, especially if you don’t have enough batarangs.
Batman vs. Mr. Freeze
This is one of the most unique online Batman games with no story but one-on-one battle between the Caped Crusader and his diabolical enemy. With graphics and artwork similar to Batman: The Animated Series, the game is rather challenging because Mr. Freeze has a strange aerial craft that can create ice blocks out of thin air through its powerful “ice-ray”. Batman has to stop Mr. Freeze’s dangerous plan to control Gotham City and so he accepts his challenge.
Throughout the Batman vs. Mr. Freeze game, the main focus is to defeat Mr. Freeze by throwing batarangs towards the aerial craft. But, the ice-ray always tends to block Batman’s path to victory. To remove ice-blocks, you will have to punch them out. You can also create a ladder using the ice blocks to reach Mr. Freeze’s aerial craft to hit him more quickly. The game is divided into different levels, with each level being more challenging than the previous one. You can play this free online batman game using your keyboard only, though the controls consist mainly of arrow keys to walk and jump and the space bar to punch those ice blocks.
Batman’s Gotham Dark Night: Total Blackout
Just like Batman vs. Mr. Freeze, Total Blackout focuses on one-on-one challenge, but this time its Batman’s most dreaded foe--The Joker. His devious plan is to blow the Power plant in Gotham City and only you can help Batman save the city from this menace.
The game does not focus on action and adventure, but tests how quick you are in defusing bombs placed by Joker in every corner of the Power plant. In each level, The Joker plants 3-4 bombs in different areas. Each bomb has a timer, which when ticks down to 0, will trigger a blast. You will have to be quick enough to defuse each bomb before the timer runs out. This game is quite challenging and so it is one of the best free Batman online games.
