He further boosts his popularity by secretly releasing Zsasz and having his forces recapture him, proving that The Gotham Police Force are weak and obsolete and giving TYGER a defining reputation.
However, Strange is one step ahead and has Sharp announce his involvement in the Arkham City Project in order to prep an alibi against Batman/Bruce Wayne's accusations. Hours following Batman's discovery of Hugo Strange's identity Batman gathers all available, and rather incriminating, information on him. The latest doctor explains that Joker has been poisoned by a mutated form of the Titan formula, and presents him with a weaponized form of the Titan toxin. Elsewhere in the city, Joker is trying to prolong his inevitable fate by seeing a string of doctors. Soon afterwards, Batman tracks down and interrogates a TYGER guard, who reveals that Sharp - and, in turn, both Gotham and Arkham City - is controlled by Hugo Strange. Nearly defeated, Batman is rescued by Catwoman, who is in Arkham to steal valuables and make strong allies (in this case, Poison Ivy, who she had freed from a prison transport).
When he attempts to return, Batman is attacked and cornered by highly-trained TYGER units, meant specifically to match him move-to-move. Batman leaves Arkham City in a disguised Batboat, unaware that he is being watched.
Despite his failure, Penguin decides to let "Lester Kurtz" live so that he can lead a strike force against the Joker only to have him escape. The heist goes awry when the Joker's thugs interrupt, and Batman takes the opportunity to destroy the weapons with a grenade. Penguin sends "Kurtz" and several other criminals to steal guns from TYGER, the mercenary unit guarding the city. After passing tests from both supervillains, Batman signs up with both Joker and Penguin. Harley and the Joker are thrown from their escape boat when Batman attempts to recapture them.Landing within the borders of the new asylum's construction zone, Joker declares himself and Harley the "mayor and mayoress" of Arkham City.ĭisguising himself as career criminal Lester Kurtz, Batman investigates the gangs forming in the city. Hearing rumors of the plot, Harley Quinn takes the place of one of the guards, and rescues Joker. Taking advantage of Joker's weakened state, several Arkham Guards try to kidnap and kill him. At the same time, Joker is revealed to be dying as a result of complications from the Titan drug, with an estimated six months to live. Confronted by non-lethal security measures, Batman realizes that he is being tested by Sharp's unseen master, and flees the mansion. While preparation continues on Arkham City, Batman breaks into Quincy Sharp's mansion to investigate his plans. Considering these events, and the motivations behind them, Batman theorizes that both the attacks and the mayor's initiative were orchestrated by someone else. The duo's crime spree ends with a suicide attack on the new Gotham City Hall - an act of terrorism that prompts the formation of Arkham City. At the same time, a criminal duo named T&T enhanced with Titan has been wreaking havoc, weakening Two-Face's criminal organization and crippling the man himself. Six months following the events of Arkham Asylum, Quincy Sharp has been elected mayor of Gotham.
