Arkham Asylum

:"Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is run by Dr. Jeremiah Arkham. Located on the outskirts of Gotham, it houses some of Batman's most dangerous foes." - Lego Batman DS
Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is home to many of Gotham City's supervillains. It is run by Dr. Jeremiah Arkham and is located on the edge of Gotham. He inherited the ownership of the asylum after his parents died. The Asylum was once ran by Amadeus Arkham and Elizabeth Arkham. Many villains such as the Scarecrow and Clayface have stayed here at one point or another. Despite being for the criminally insane, even those who have not been found crazy, like the aforementioned Clayface, Bane, Catwoman or The Penguin had been sent to Arkham on numerous occasions, due to the Asylum providing better equipment to keep them behind bars than the prison.
==LEGO Batman: The Video Game==
In the first game, the Asylum is used as the HUB for the villains. When the player opens it up, he will immediately take control of Clayface and The Riddler. The Asylum seems to be overrun by each henchmen of each main villain (console version) or just the Joker Henchman (PS 2 version), as all of the staff is absent. At the start of the game, all the villains break out of Arkham Asylum and join separate gangs, each led by a famous Batman villain.
The Asylum features four, explorable rooms: the villain mission room where the main villain's vehicles are located (this area has no henchmen), the maximum security room where three cells are, the experimental room where the Character Customiser is also located and the Villain Trophy Room, where there are additional beds and a secret passage to play the Arkham Asylum bonus level.
At the end of each hero chapter, the main villains of each gang, plus their leader, are sent back to Arkham.

In the second game, The Joker releases the inmates after he gets Lex Luthor's Deconstructor, they split up into separate groups and drive around with their vehicles in the maze, once their vehicles have been destroyed or neutralized, they take the elevator down, however, it breaks and Batman and Robin get trapped in the asylum.

==Trivia==
*In the DS version of the game, the Character Customiser is located in the Batcave Trophy Room, not in Arkham.
*The music that plays on the Asylum grounds is a slowed-down version of the Waltz to the Death, The Joker's main theme from the Tim Burton movie.
*If one waits for a while, the henchmen will start fighting amongst themselves, sometimes even attacking the character you play as.
*No villain's Goons are presented at the Asylum, showing that only the Henchmen are considered insane, while goons are just regular thugs.
