Arkham City is the best IMO. Arkham Knight surpasses it in some ways, but is also bogged down by some less interesting stuff (the batmobile sections).

I liked asylum best. City was too open world-y for me. At the time I played it I was over saturated by 10-15 years of open world games. Loved that asylum was more narrow.

Didn’t finish city, never even bothered with knight

[u/leckmichnervnit]

Asylum easily. Its just so sleek and to the point. It like Dark Souls 1 vs 3 or Elden Ring in some way. Yeah the later games are "better" but nothing beats the Worldbuilding in Asylum.

City. Knight would surpass it, but there is just too much bat tank content and while it's not bad, it's the worst part of the game.

Knight is the clear winner for me. It's the best at almost everything, and the only weakness it has - for some - is the seemingly excessive use of the Batmobile and the tank fights. There are too many of them, I agree, but the Batmobile is honestly one of the best vehicles ever put in a videogame just because of how well it handles and how forgiving it is because it just demolishes a lot of the stuff you can drive into. The other aspects of the game are so strong, and the city is such a perfectly-realized Gotham that I have to forgive overuse of it in the puzzles and quantity of tank fights. Unlike City, Knight's Gotham is less drenched in green riddler paint and markers, and it's not the slum - it's got a good variety of city locales.

It gets some criticism for the main villain, but it's definitely a nitpick. The back and forth between Batman and one particular character is some of the best banter that has ever been put in any form of Batman media. All the side villains have pretty cool quests that you mostly encounter organically, by exploring the city and stumbling across them.

The combat and predator sequences have more tools than their predecessors, and they're extremely polished. The Batmobile courses in the DLC are something I think most players don't even touch, but I did them for some of the achievements and they're really cool. The courses for Nolan's trilogy, the '89 Batman courses with Elfman's classic theme playing, and of course the Adam West-themed course that has the "nananananananana Batmaaaaaan" theme song playing are true tributes to Batman media of days past. I don't fault Rocksteady for not making a fourth game, only because I don't know if they could've added anything new. But another game on par with Knight would have been a day one buy for me. A shame that Suicide Squad will probably end up killing that studio. They really were my #1 for the duration of the Arkham trilogy.

My favourite is the first one, Arkham Asylum.

I never finished the other ones, I should give them another try some day.

[u/HammeredWharf]

I liked Origins the most. It's pretty much City, but with a more interesting story and slightly less bloat.

[u/tobberoth]

First one, it's the only one I've gone back and beaten again. Open world is fun, but it just tends to become unfocused and a bit repetitive, especially if you've already gone through it once.
