The Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is a hospital located on the outskirts just north of Gotham City. It is used to house Gotham's most dangerously ill criminals, and seeks to find ways to bring them back to sanity. With the help of scientists like Doctor Hugo Strange and funding from ARGUS, We seek to cure our patients of their insanity and give them successful and safe lives.
Our founder, Doctor Amadeus Arkham, named this hospital after his mother, Elizabeth Arkham, who suffered from a mental illness that caused her to take her own life, giving Amadeus the inspiration to help others like her. His efforts set the standard that we here at the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane look to meet everyday.
