“It is April 1st and the inmates of Arkham Asylum have taken over Gotham City’s House for the Criminally Insane. They have one demand; Batman. The Dark Knight must recover pieces of the mad Amadeus Arkham’s diary while enduring a gauntlet of his most terrifying foes. A gauntlet that will claim his sanity.”

Fade In: Dawn over the planet Krypton. Riots are occurring outside the High Council Chamber are being quelled by planetary enforcers and protestors. The protesters believe that Krypton is going to be destroyed and demand to know what council plans to do about it. Within, the fate of scientist Jor-El is being debated. Jor-El is accused of creating a public disturbance with his theory that Krypton’s red sun is about to go nova.
