For the Marvel fanboys who just discovered that Batman is awesome and are checking in on Arkham for the first time, this game is said to be the longest night of Batman's life and will pit him against various members of his rogues' gallery (such as Killer Croc, Zsasz, and Harley Quinn) as the Dark Knight tries to apprehend the Joker and restore order. See, the game starts with the Caped Crusader delivering Joker to the famed Gotham nuthouse known as Arkham Asylum. As he's being re-added to the general population, Joker gets loose, frees all the prisoners, and locks Batman in the loony bin.
