The Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, or simply Arkham Asylum, is a psychiatric hospital located on the outskirts of Gotham City. It was founded by Amadeus Arkham in the early 20th century, transforming it from a family estate in to a treatment center.
It is dedicated to rehabilitating those considered too dangerous for normal prisons such as Blackgate or Belle Reve Penitentiary. To date, Arkham holds many dangerous criminals including Victor Zsasz, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, the Riddler, the Scarecrow and the most famous of all, the Joker.
