Gotham City has been, quite literally, torn apart. It was a single, solitary act by Gotham's very own King of Comedy, the Joker. Alongside his bombshell assistant Dr. Harleen Quinzel, AKA: Harley Quinn, the Joker not only escaped from Arkham Asylum, but succeeded in releasing every prisoner within its walls. The facility, in the ensuing chaos, was utterly destroyed. What was once a state of the art prison for the criminally insane is now just a pile of smoldering ashes, and with its passing, so entered Gotham into her darkest hours.
So where do you stand? Do you fight for evil? There are plenty of Supervillains waiting for your allegiance. Do you fight for yourself? The fate of Gotham will be yours to control. Or do you fight for good, alongside the Batman and his Allies? Only one thing is clear, it seems. No matter what your choice, there can be No. Escape.
