A Swinging Door for Crazy Super-Villains
Arkham Asylum is the only facility near Gotham City equipped to contain and treat super-villains who have been judged guilty by reason of insanity. While its most infamous resident is the paste-faced criminal mastermind known as the Joker, Arkham Asylum's inmate roll call has also included the Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, and former Gotham City district attorney Harvey Dent.All of these super-villains have been imprisoned in and escaped Arkham, repeatedly. On one occasion, the inmates literally took over the asylum. The Joker, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, and others demanded the Batman turn himself over to him in exchange for hostages.DC Comics: Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth—Grant Morrison
