Asylum is my favorite in the series because it felt a lot like a Legend of Zelda game in structure with a Batman flair to it. Only thing I disliked about it was the boss fights. Regular combat fighting waves of dudes also wasn't nearly as fun as the "predator" combat.
I liked City a lot, too, but I didn't like the more open-world structure as much as Asylum's more focused game world. Never played Origins or Knight.

I've gotten them in all four of the games.
On another note; Those games have my heart, they're all truly amazing.

The only thing I didn't like about Origins is the twist where "oh it's Joker again." Even that didn't hinder my enjoyment that much, but would have preferred the straight forward Black Mask plot. Yeah, it's a major reason why I never bothered to play it fully. I get the Arkham series in retrospect was as much the Joker's story as it was Batman's (even if I kind of begrudgingly give it that and feel like it had to try hard to accomplish that considering the scope & level of some of the other villains they brought into the games that then had to be shoved below the Joker on the totem pole to make it work). But it was a prequel game, it could've featured anybody, and I liked the initial premise of "Black Mask hires a bunch of dudes to kill Batman in one night". The moment that the Joker appeared in the trailers and very obviously had a major role though...I just sighed. It was compounded by the fact that Arkham City (and its amazing ending) had just happened, this Joker's design didn't really gel with the Joker's design in the other Arkham games (I wouldn't have cared if it wasn't being marketed as also an Arkham game), and while I think Troy did an admirable job in the role from what I've seen of the game it felt very much like discount value brand Joker after one of Mark Hamill's best performances as the character (not helped by the direction they gave Troy was very obviously " Try to be like Hamill" rather than letting him find his own voice for the character). And ultimately while it tried to tie itself together to the trilogy (things like setting up why Bane's the way he is in Asylum), it was clear that Rocksteady ignored its existence and treated it like the red headed step child of the series.

In everyone except Arkham Knight, like CMM said, the batmobile riddles were a chore.
Off topic but the batmobile was straight up shit.

No...not yet. But it's on my list of gaming goals I want to achieve before I die.

Even the first time I thought was so bad I subsequently have never touched the game again.

I remember in Arkham City, I got as many as I could. But I was locked out of a few in Ra's Al Gul's "dream level" and the doors wouldn't open again for me to go back and get them.
