Batman: Vengeance is a 2001 action-adventure video game based on the fictional superhero of the same name. It was released for PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, GameCube, Xbox and Microsoft Windows. The game was developed and published by Ubi Soft in conjunction with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics.

The game is based on the television series The New Batman Adventures, and features most actors from the show reprising their roles. The story centers on Batman's investigation of the Joker's apparent death after their latest encounter, while having to deal with other villains and their schemes, all part of a larger plot orchestrated by the Clown Prince of Crime. Batman: Vengeance received mixed to positive reviews upon release. It was followed by Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu in 2003.

Batman saves a woman named Mary Flynn from a bomb placed by the Joker at Gotham Chemicals, and learns that the villain is holding her son hostage for ransom. Using a transmitter, he tracks down the Joker and Mary to a partially demolished Gotham Bridge, where Mary is unmasked as Harley Quinn and the kidnapping scheme is revealed to be part of the Joker's plot to lure Batman into a trap. The Dark Knight and the Joker proceed to fight, but the latter falls off the bridge to his apparent death. Suspicious that the Joker survived, Batman lets Harley go, who is unaware that he still has the transmitter allowing him to monitor her activities.

While Batman and Batgirl keep tabs on Harley in the hopes of discovering the Joker's true plot, they are alerted to Mr. Freeze's attack on scientist Isaac Evers at Gotham Industrial Research, who developed a drug called Promethium to treat cryogenically frozen people like Freeze and his wife Nora. Freeze had prievously tried the drug to no avail, and was infuriated when he recently received a promotional video for it; believing Evers had sent it to taunt him, he set out to kill the scientist. While pursuing Freeze, Batman uncovers Evers's shady dealings with the Joker, who funded his research after his initial funding was cut because of Promethium's high flammability, implying that the Joker had plans with the drug. Shortly Batman saves Evers and defeats Freeze, he must come to Batgirl's aid, who stumbled upon a deal between Mayor Hamilton Hill and one of Poison Ivy's minions at the train station while following Harley's transmitter.

Batman boards the train and saves Batgirl, but Ivy's minion escapes, unwittingly leaving behind a clue regarding Ivy's plot. Batman and Batgirl track Ivy down to Gotham Chemicals, where the former finds Mayor Hill, who reveals that Ivy, using a chemical she received from unknown sources, created mutant plants to put inside him and other wealthy socialites, so that she could blackmail them in exchange for an antidote that prevents the plants from eating them. However, the chemical is very rare, so Ivy had the Gotham Chemicals building rebuilt in order to mass-produce it. After defeating Ivy, Batman retrieves the antidote and gives it to Mayor Hill to use on himself and Ivy's other victims.

After spotting some the Joker's goons hijacking a blimp, Batman goes to speak with a seemingly reformed Harley, who informs him that, since the Joker's death, some his men have been operating on their own, and recently left with his explosive "toys" and the blueprints to the Gotham Gasworks. After Batman foils their plan to send the toys into the city's pipe network by flooding it, he finds a tied up Issac Evers, who reveals that he hired the Joker's goons to destroy Gotham Industrial for the insurance money, having been unable to collect on the damage left by Mr. Freeze without revealing his involvement with the Joker; however, the goons eventually turned on him and tied him up so that they could carry out their own plan to destroy Gotham City. As Batman hands Evers over to the police, Commissioner Gordon is hit with a Batarang. Blamed for the attack, Batman barely escapes from the police, and concludes that Harley is behind everything that occurred since Joker’s 'death'. After disguising himself as a drifter to avoid police attention, he investigates the Joker's old hideout and finds evidence hinting at his survival.
