In Batman: Arkham Asylum, the titular hero is, as the title suggests, trapped in the Asylum thanks to a trap set by the Joker. The ultimate Batman baddie is assisted by many of the villains in the DC Universe, including Harley Quinn (in a sexy new outfit that's a throwback to her roots as an Arkham psychiatrist). Even though he walked right into a trap, Batman isn't about to let the Joker get away with it, but with Joker and his henchmen killing innocent prison guards left and right, the Bats is going to have to be careful.
