Editing Arkham Asylum (section)

== Patients ==
Originally, Arkham Asylum was used only to house genuinely mentally ill patients having no connection to Batman, but over the course of the 1980s, a trend was established in having the majority of Batman's adversaries end up at Arkham.

Arkham Asylum is also featured in other DC Comics publications, apart from the Batman comic book titles. In [[Alan Moore]]'s run in ''[[Swamp Thing]]'' the [[Floronic Man]] is detained there and in ''[[The Sandman (DC Comics/Vertigo)|The Sandman]]'' by [[Neil Gaiman]], [[Doctor Destiny]] escapes the asylum to wreak havoc on both the real and dream worlds. It has also been featured in varying capacities in a number of DC miniseries events, such as ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'', ''[[Identity Crisis (DC Comics)|Identity Crisis]]'', ''[[Day of Vengeance]]'' and ''[[Countdown to Final Crisis]]'', among others.

Many DC Comics characters who have been patients at Arkham Asylum are listed below.
