Taking place 4 years after Arkham Asylum while protesting the use of the new prison Arkham City Bruce Wayne is kidnapped and forced into the new Arkham by Hugo Strange. Throughout the movie Bruce tries to find a cure for a disease that Harley Quinn infected him with by the order of Joker who is revealed to still be alive. Meanwhile Robin and Oracle try to find a way to breach the walls of the city. Batman must fight villains like Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Two-Face, Ras al Ghul, Bane, and Joker himself to cure himself before he dies. Eventually Bruce realizes that he needs to fight the illness from within his own mind. He manages to cure himself of it but is still infected with Joker's blood. The movie climaxes as Bruce fights his way through all of the villains to get out and eventually comes face to face with Joker who reveals it was the Titan serum that infected him. Joker does die from his disease but not before pulling off one last stunt as he kills Robin who had been taken and locked up by Hugo Strange who tied him to a bomb. Seeing this Bruce finds Hugo and nearly kills him but is talked out of it by Catwoman. The movie ends with Bruce and Catwoman leaving Arkham city as it is shut down and Hugo along with the other villains are locked up. The movie closes as Bruce calls someone. We cut to the other end of the call as Dick Grayson now known as Nightwing is fighting Clayface.
