3 when Origin comes out, and 3 games in 4 years is a bit much.

However I'm not complaining about Batman, they have a good engine, and if they want to release it on PS3/360 with any reasonable amount of success, they had to release one this fall. This is nothing like Halo or Assassin's Creed.

2009, 2011, 2013

Once every two years. That's the norm.

Like I said, it's not too bad, but I consider every 2 years a bit excessive. Main Forza games are also every 2 years, and I think that's too much as well.

No franchise should have a regular interval of releases, when it does, I feel the the game is made because the franchise is popular, not because the devs actually thought of unique and original ideas.

Compare Batman to a franchise, which I don't consider milked. Zelda or Uncharted. Since 2006 there have been 2 main Zelda games, with 6 years between them. Yes there were also 2 fairly main handheld games, but it's a very different game, and it's a different audience. Uncharted as well, 1-3 had a 2 year dev time, but since 2011 all we've seen is a side game.

I know Batman will take a break, we probably won't see a new game in 2015. So in 2015, I might change my opinion, but atm it feels a little too much. However, I understand though, there should be a 3rd Batman, and it makes more sense to release a PS3/360/Wii edition using the same engine, then making a new engine and selling less copies for PS4/720 next year.
