[a person]

as someone who has completed the story and some side missions of all the arkham games, im going to give them rankings. I cant rank based off of side missions because I havent completed all of them.

Gameplay:
1. Arkham Knight
2. Arkham City
3. Arkham Origins
4. Arkham Asylum

Gadgets (based off of quality and quantity):
1. Arkham City (has a multi purpose mr freeze freezing tossable gadget, electrical charge gun, side mission grapnel boost, multi purpose freeze weapon disabler, line launcher, and all other basic gadgets given at the start of the game)
2. Arkham Knight
3. Arkham Origins
4. Arkham Asylum

Traversal:
1. Arkham Knight (batmobile immersion and grapnel boost upgraded)
2. Arkham Origins (fast travel and grapnel boost)
3. Arkham City
4. Arkham Asylum (no dive bomb, no grapnel boost)

Horror Aspect:
1. Arkham Asylum (killer croc mission and scarecrow areas)
2. Arkham Origins (bane final fight)
3. Arkham Knight
4. Arkham City

Missions (based off of purpose to the story):
1. Arkham City
2. Arkham Knight
3. Arkham Asylum
4. Arkham Origins

Boss Fights:
1. Arkham Origins
2. Arkham City
3. Arkham Knight
4. Arkham Asylum

Cutscenes:
1. all of them

Story:
1. Arkham City
2. Arkham Origins
3. Arkham Knight
4. Arkham Asylum

Voice Acting:
1. all of them

Final Boss:
1. Arkham City
2. Arkham Asylum (up here on 2 because the other ones arent great)
3. Arkham Origins (not a boss fight, just a beatdown)
4. Arkham Knight (also not even a boss fight, just a cutscene)

Ending:
1. Arkham City (definitely felt like a good ending to the joker as batmans arch nemesis)
2. Arkham Knight (definitely a good ending to the arkham series)
3. Arkham Asylum (good conclusion to the first game)
4. Arkham Origins (felt rushed)

Costumes:
1. Arkham Knight
2. Arkham City
3. Arkham Origins
4. Arkham Asylum (doesnt even have costumes, only has armored)

Overall: I love all of these games, with all of them being great in some aspects. Just because I say one is better than the others, it does not mean there is a bad arkham game. this series is fantastic. Id have to give it to Arkham Knight as first place overall, Arkham City as second, Arkham Origins as third, and Arkham Asylum as last place. Does this mean asylum is bad? No. Do the other games outdo it? Yes. But this shows progress. That ever since asylum, rocksteady has done nothing but improve (not counting kill the justice league, I refuse to believe thats part of the arkham verse, arkham knight is the end to the series, you cant tell me otherwise). Arkham Asylum is great, dont get me wrong, but, IN MY OPINION, the other games are better. i loved all of these game though. tell me what you think about this ranking, i want opinions.

i hated origins grapnel boost, literally nothing to grapple on to

Feared the man bat appearances on the ledges more than croc. Lol.
Enjoyed Arkham Knights Story more than City, cuz it took a while for me to understand as I have a minion brain.

Looks like someone's never played the game on Halloween. (Or with their system clock set to then).
