After beating Knight, my opinion remains the same:
Knight
Asylum
City
Not played Origins yet.

Knight just felt like the most well rounded Batman experience. This series has always been incredibly video gamey, so the tank sections feel perfectly in line with the combat and traversal and predator sections of the previous games.
Knight is a great game, and all the better for the inclusion of the Batmobile which is an all round fantastic mechanic. It's a shame they only introduced it now in their final game and didn't have a chance to expand the combat in the next game, but Origins has a lot of love here so I don't doubt it will happen in the future.
Asylum is a great Batman experience, and I love the metroid design, but after Knight it just doesn't offer enough to place it first.
City is still great overall, but the open world was incredibly dull. And while Knight doesn't do /much/ more with it, the design felt more like a place and the Batmobile gave it more reason to be there. I do love the boss battles from City though, especially Freeze and Ra's, I missed them in Knight.
Great game. Can't wait for the fix on pc so I can play through NG+ at 1080/60.
