Professor Hugo Strange
for Professor Hugo Strange in Arkham Asylum (Realistic Horror/Thriller)
Suggested by kaueoliveira
A massive hurricane batters the coast of Gotham City, severing all power and communication lines to the island facility of Arkham Asylum. Inside, the backup generators fail due to sabotage. The magnetic locks on the cells disengage. Batman is not "sent in"; he is already there, delivering a prisoner, when the lockdown traps him inside. He is cut off from Alfred, the Batmobile, and his gadgets are malfunctioning. The asylum is run by Professor Hugo Strange, whose unethical experiments on the inmates have turned them into something worse than criminals—they are feral, chemically unstable monsters. The film is a real-time survival run. Batman must ascend from the bowels of the facility to the roof to re-establish a signal. He is hunted through the dark corridors by a cannibalistic Killer Croc (portrayed as a man with a severe skin condition and regression psychosis) and the serial killer Victor Zsasz. The horror comes from the sensory deprivation and the psychological dismantling of Batman by the inmates who know him best. It is a story about a man trying to hold onto his sanity while trapped in a building designed to break it.
