Arkham Games order?

[MakixNico]

Hey! So, it's time I get my hands on Arkham Games, but I have no idea which order to follow. Any recommendations? The Steam games are:
- Arkham Origins
- Arkham Asylum
- Arkham City
- Arkham Blackgate
- Arkham Knight
Thank you in advance
(I'm asking on this one because the name is... Intuitive)

Don't know about blackgate, but the others are as folllows, in order of release:
Asylum
City
Origins
Knight
Origins may be the "first" in chronological order but playing the other 2 before that makes more sense.

^ ^ This - and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Origins is designed for people familiar with Asylum and City and thus has a much steeper learning curve.
Also there is a pretty natural increase in scope, size, complexity of game mechanics and number of enemies encountered at the same time throughout the series.
There are also references from the later games to the earlier (Origins actually reuses much of City's map, only with snow and not so run down) you might miss if you play out of order.
And there are continuity issues (gadgets in Asylum vs. gadgets in Origins) that are much more obvious when playing out of order.

Alright, Thank you so much!
