Well in terms of gore and straight up graphic scenes, I'd say Arkham Knight since you basically start the game by fucking burning the Joker's corpse. Then there's the dreadful Professor Pyg side quest with him making mindless, genderless dolls out of human beings....for fucks sake, the very idea of that it just plain unsettling.
To me, the most disturbing is still Asylum. I don't know, but I guess the idea of running around in a mental hospital with crazy monsters on the lose is far more intimidating than the military/serial killer tone they were going for in the latter games. Honestly though, every Arkham game a good portion of horror elements within them.
So are we basically excluding Arkham Origins from this whole series? I don't think that's fair, I've been playing it and I'm not finding it any less entertaining than City.
Nothing in particular actually stands out to me at the moment. When playing Origins, Black Mask - right before revealing that he's actually the Joker - pistol whips a guy several times while yelling "why don't you just play along!?". I just wasn't expecting that, though quite frankly, the way Batman breaks bodies throughout all four of these games still makes me grimace a little. He's not killing them, he's just incapacitating them! On a cold winter night! Where they might not be able to get medical treatment or find a heat source anytime soon...

Origins is better than Knight and on par with City

This isn't about quality, this is about which is the most disturbing. Honestly, I think Origins has nothing on the other Arkham games in terms of incorporating disturbing horror elements.
I'm not saying it's bad, in fact it's a great game, but in terms of how disturbing it is, Origins just can't compare for me personally as I haven't really found anything that unsettling.
