I don't think we'll see a franchise pull off what this one did not with 3 absolutely fucking BANGER games in a row from one studio.
My experience with Arkham Knight at launch was, and I know how rare it is to say, as smooth as it is now. There were and are still some stutters in some scenes but this is still an ambitious game even by today's standards. I streamed it with only a few crashes through the whole story, even, but I'm glad people are revisiting it to get that same experience. I think Origins got unfairly shit on because, despite being made by WB Montreal and not Rocksteady, the expectations were higher, but all four games in the Arkham series were phenomenal from top to bottom. I still listen to the soundtracks every other day or during a Diablo farming session, lol
you can tell that Rocksteady is very knowledgeable in terms of the Batman comics mythology and history...the Arkham games are incredible because of the detail and lore that they put into it...I don't think another developer without the same expertise could have pulled it off...the gameplay, combat, comics callbacks, world building, graphics etc all came together perfectly
