I recently finished Arkham Asylum and it was great. It was pretty much a Metroidvania in 3D.

But apparently all the sequels got hit with the open world disease? That's just awful...

The open world is great. Especially in Knight where you can seamlessly switch between batmobile and high-speed gliding across 3 different islands.

The sequels being open world doesn't change the format of the game at all. Metroidvania games are 2D open world anyhow, complete with a shop and fast travel.

Not really.

You generally stuck in an enclosed area in those games. It is more like Arkham Asylum where you have to travel between the buildings and unlock more of each as the game goes on. I feel like it makes a difference but I dunno I guess.

City is the best one. It's a small open world just big enough to let you "feel like Batman" looming over buildings and stuff, but all the locations are still crammed with details.

There's a few problems with Knight. The batmobile is the most talked about, and while it and particularly the tank mode are probably overused, there's bigger problems IMO. It has the worst predator rooms in the series due to gadget bloat and generally mediocre level design. The side missions are really lame on account that every villain fulfills a single gameplay role, so instead of having interesting stories where they do different things to fulfill their plans, it's just "Two Face tries to rob banks five times." "You chase Firefly in a car five times." "You beat people up with Nightwing to stop Penguin five times." Etc etc etc

As a completely unrelated question, how many years has it been since you last shaved?

can we seriously scale back our use of "metroidvania" a bit. Every game where you can backtrack and unlock tools doesn't need to be called a metroidvania

Asylum had the gothic Atmosphere none of the following games had. They became closer to Nolan's style.

You got it backward. Origins has the best boss fights in the whole series. Knight, you fight Deathstroke in a tank for some reason.
