This Batman title begins with the Caped Crusader returning the Joker to Arkham Asylum after yet another failed breakout. However, there's something different about this scheme -- namely, the Joker went down without a fight… almost like he wanted to be captured. After the opening movie chronicles Batman racing back to Arkham and delivering a cuffed Joker, the gameplay begins with you walking him through the bowels of the building.
