Arkham Asylum

The Arkham Asylum (アーカム・アサイラム, Ākamu Asairamu), colloquially referred to as "Arkham" (アーカム, Ākamu), is a location that appears in the Marvelous DC's Justice Avengers series created by Gardner Fox and Jack Kirby.

It is a government-funded medical institution and penitentiary prison facility dedicated to the rehabilitation of the criminally insane, named after the original director's mother. It is well-known for housing many of Batman's foes following their arrest.

Having being in operation over the years, numerous criminals have been or are being admitted to the facility. The asylum has a mainly gothic look, with many interior gargoyles, but had been outfitted with high-tech security, including forcefield security doors.
