I've heard that TDK Returns, The Killing Joke and Arkham are good

HUSH is an arc. It's really good except for who HUSH is. The Killing Joke is my favorite book ever, but I wouldn't go as far as to call it one of the most violent. It has two of the most brutal things happen in it, but not the most violent. |

If you're into violent Batman comics, you NEED to get the Batman/Dracula trilogy.
Red Rain, Bloodstorm, and Crimson Mist.
*SPOILERS*
Crimson Mist especially. Batman kills EVERYONE in that one. And not just kill, but drain of blood, then decapitate.
In Crimson Mist, Batman basically slaughters every last inmate in Arkham Asylum just because he was tired of Arkham being a revolving door. In one of the most bad-ass moments in modern Batman comics IMO, Batman tosses a decapitated head through the window of Arkham's chief doctor, who was writing in a journal. What's badass is that there's a note in the mouth of the head, written in blood, which reads (IIRC) "Go home, your work is over."
Also, Crimson Mist featured a very poetic ending (IMO) that I've enjoyed every time I read it.

The Killing Joke is a classic. Definitely get the book if you can.

I was really into The Sword of Azrieal. Then I also liked Knightfall, Batman 500 and all the new Batman comics, Knights End. That was my favorite period. Big Jean Paul Valley fan.

All of that was probably my favorite story in Comic book lure. Azrieal kicked major ass. Wished his comic never got cancelled. Sword of Azrieal was a great little series too. |

The Long Halloween is the best. No Batman comics are super violent, maybe try Batman: Gotham County Line. War Games was relatively violent and you could try the Catwoman comics with Black Mask. A Death in the Family is violent and good. Arkham Asylum is pretty dark and violent. Really though, the violence is not the main reason to read Batman, if you want to read violence try Punisher or something.

Shouldn't you just go for the best written Batman comics instead of the most violent?
I'd recommend The Killing Joke (best written Bat story, bar none), The Long Halloween (good mystery), Year One (great origin retelling), Dark Knight Returns (classic story that brought Batman back to his darker roots), and Knightfall.
Make sure to avoid the ongoing series 'All Star Batman and Robin' and the trade paperback 'The Dark Knight Strikes Again' at all costs.
