==Synopsis==
After a massive earthquake hits Gotham City, the city is abandoned by the U.S. government and cut off from the rest of the world. The U.S. gives permission to Hugo Strange, the warden of Arkham Asylum, to turn what remains of Gotham into a gigantic super-prison that would house all of Gotham's worst criminals, known as "Arkham City". It is up to Batman and his allies to get into Arkham City and find out what Strange is planning and stop it before it comes into fruition.
==Cast==
*Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman- Bruce Wayne is a billionaire socialite in Gotham City who became the vigilante Batman to avenge the murder of his parents when he was ten years old. After the cataclysm, Wayne attempted to reach out to politicians in an attempt to save Gotham, but to no avail. His last resort was to infiltrate Arkham City and stop Strange from the inside.
*Ike Barinholtz as Hugo Strange- Hugo Strange is the warden of Arkham City and formerly the warden of Arkham Asylum. He formerly worked for Amanda Waller during the ARGUS incident in which he acted as the psychiatrist for the Joker and Harley Quinn. After the ARGUS incident, Strange went off the radar, and assembled his own mercenary force known as TYGER. After the cataclysm, Strange was quick to offer his plan to turn Gotham into a super-prison, which was approved almost immediately. He knows Batman will try to stop him, and is prepared for it. Because Strange has a weapon that no other villain has—he knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman.
*Logan Lerman as Tim Drake/Robin- Tim Drake was the son of Jack and Janet Drake, who were a wealthy couple that lived in the same areas as Bruce Wayne. Tim's parents died in the earthquake.

After Jason Todd, Batman is reluctant to have another Robin, but Tim will soon prove himself and live up to the title.
*Jena Malone as Barbara Gordon/Oracle- Barbara Gordon is the daughter of Commissioner James Gordon. She previously operated with Batman as Batgirl, until she was kidnapped and beaten by Harley Quinn. The beating left her paralyzed from the waist down, and Commissioner Gordon blamed Batman for what happened. Years later, when Batman returned, he again employed the assistance of Barbara as a computer hacker. She has helped Batman since by operating out of the Clock Tower. She has been trying to keep order amongst the citizens in Arkham City, and has a system of agents who get information regarding what's going on in the city.
*Alex Meraz as Dick Grayson/Nightwing- Dick Grayson was the first Robin who eventually left Batman and went to Bludhaven. He began to work with Bruce again as a secret agent during the ARGUS incident.
