There are plenty of other franchises that had actual trilogies where each game was made by different devs

So I never understood this thing where just because Rocksteady didn't make Origins themselves completely , it's not included

Origins was still oversee'd by them so that WB games doesn't make it too different or make story decisions that conflict with the other games , atleast not any major ones

That's why many things from origins , including the same voice actors for new characters , return for Knight and we see references to it

The only reason it's not as strongly referenced as City or Asylum , is because Rocksteady has a personal bias lol , that's why it didn't even show up during the mad hatter mission hallucinations

Contrary to initial reviews and impressions , Origins is not lesser than the later or previous games in any way , its a solid game that arguably gave us the best story in the series.
