GOTHAM Teases The Introduction of Arkham Asylum

Arkham Asylum, a major location in Batman mythology, is making its way to GOTHAM!

The hit FOX television show GOTHAM returns tonight and with it comes the series’ first in-depth take on the infamous Arkham Asylum!

Jim Gordon lost his detective badge after his work with Gotham’s corrupt major in the mid-season finale. Demoted to a security detail, Jim finds himself at Arkham and begins investigating the insane asylum’s connection to the major crime families in the city.

Check out a new featurette in which the show’s stars talk about their take on Arkham Asylum and its importance in the mythology!

Most major characters in the Batman comics have spent some time inside a cell at Arkham, including but not limited to The Joker, The Riddler, Scarecrow,Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, and Two-Face; not to mention Harley Quinn, who started off as a doctor at Arkham before her own mental collapse. However, keeping with the mythology of the original comics means we probably won’t be seeing much of these characters at Arkham anytime soon. Perhaps Edward Nygma has potential?!
