Fan CastingThe Batman: Arkham (2012)

Ten years into his war on crime, Bruce Wayne infiltrates Arkham Asylum after a coordinated breakout reveals ties to Jason Todd’s death. Inside, he finds himself hunted by Deathstroke—hired by the Joker not to kill him, but to dismantle him. One by one, Bruce is confronted by inmates who reflect pieces of his fractured psyche: Scarecrow feeds him toxins that manifest Jason’s voice; Mad Hatter warps his memories; Zsasz forces him to relive every death he couldn’t prevent. Alone, wounded, and without the cowl, Bruce questions if he’s still fighting for justice—or just feeding the darkness. As the line between sanity and obsession blurs, Bruce nearly breaks, realizing Arkham is not just a place—it’s a reflection of him. By the end, he survives, but he doesn’t win. He walks out not as the triumphant knight, but as a man quietly unsure if he escaped—or if he belongs inside. Mid Credits: Bruce activates Project Brother Eye, initiating constant surveillance of Gotham’s streets and allies. Post Credits: In a darkened safehouse, the Joker reviews a Cadmus file marked “Red Hood Protocol”, and smiles.
