15. Arkham Asylum Joker
Arkham Asylum isn’t a prison. It’s an insane asylum designed to help rehabilitate the criminally insane. It’s important to remember this because that makes it incredibly easy to escape.
The asylum began as the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and had the roughest of starts when the architect went crazy and murdered his workers. The Asylum opened under the leadership of Amadeus Arkham, who owned the property as a family home after his mother’s mysterious death (he euthanized her because she had mental issues).
Arkham practiced in Metropolis for a time, studying serial killer Martin “Mad Dog†Hawkins. Hawkins escaped and traced Arkham back to Gotham, where he murdered Arkham’s wife and daughter. Arkham opened the asylum, admitting Mad Dog as one of its first patients.
Six months later, Arkham electrocuted him, beginning his own descent into madness. He would eventually die as an inmate of his own asylum.
