Not very similar. It is open world, but it's not a very big world. Every time you go into a fight, it cuts away to it similar to a JRPG. The combat is nothing like Batman, more like a modernization of a classic beat 'em up. No vehicles, either.
It is, in all honesty, a very clunky and primitive series of games. But it's also bursting with charm and amazing characters and general ridiculousness, and that's why I love it.
