Sorry. I'm not trying to be rude. I'm just trying to understand the you're trying to do here.

Why are you asking this? You're either going to find homophobes and start arguing with them. Or you're gonna find decent people and thank them before going back to your day.

But the Joker is a huge part of the game the third installment... Goddammit.

Jason Todd is almost nonexistent
As god intended.
But, talking serious, it could possibly be arranged in a timeline if we head canon some stuff. First there's Arkham Origins, then in the next years Batman recruits the first two Robins, meets most of his rogues gallery and one by one sends them to Arkham. Then Jason is captured and believed dead, but the Joker actually has him being tortured in the asylum. Then we have the mass escape and the events depicted in the first Lego Batman. This would mean that those are the first missions of Tim Drake as Robin, which helps explain how he acts juvenile in some situations. The mass escape is also the moment where Jason escapes the asylum and flees the country to become the Arkham Knight. In this game we also see that Bane is slowly recuperating his psyche, but is still dumb enough to be manipulated by the Penguin and letting himself be captured by the police.
So Lego Batman happens and all the villains are sent back to Arkham one by one, and in the process Tim Drake becomes a more responsible and mature Robin. Next there's Lego Batman 2, which also starts after a big number of villains escapes the asylum. But this time a more experienced Batman and Robin manage to capture all of them more easily, with the exception of the Joker. As they're busy fighting Luthor and forming the Justice League, the leadership of the asylum changes hands to someone who could possibly manage the place better: Quincy Sharp.
Next we have Lego Batman 3. This one doesn't have many possible connections to the Arkham series, but we can imagine that Sharp is modernizing the security of the asylum and slowly reforming it to be the place we meet in Arkham Asylum.
Next we have the events of the Arkham series. After the whole confusion of Lego Batman 3, Bruce chooses to not call the League at any situation because he fears their presence would attract other cosmic threats to Gotham.
The design of the Batcave almost makes sense too. In the first Lego Batman we see that the highest level contains their vehicles and computers with information about their next missions. In Arkham Origins, the only game where we can visit the actual Batcave, we see that it has only one level, with the Batmobile and the Batcomputer. But we do see that there's a large chasm and space to possibly build the lower levels we see in Lego Batman.
The biggest problem would be Man-Bat. He's present in Lego Batman but in the Arkham timeline he doesn't show up until Batman's last night.

But, still, the town guards will kick your ass if they see you picking an empty bottle that ain't yours.

This is true, yes, but the problem is that many people don't understand it as satire and just take the story at face-value. There are lots of people on the internet who praise the Comedian and even more who identify with Rorsarch.

Well, it depends on your tastes. If you want a serious crime drama that respects the Batman mythos, no. Not at all. But if you like camp and “so bad it's good" movies, it might be worth a watch.

What if Voldemort chose to kill Neville instead of Harry?
What if Harry choose to become Draco's friend when they first met?
What if Sirius managed to capture Wormtail?
What if Dumbledore joined Grindelwald?
What if Harry and Luna dated?

I like this. I imagine the last battle would be the party fighting against a giant monster while Jester just wander mindlessly through the battlefield, picking flowers and talking to bees.
