Synopsis

After the Joker attacks Gotham City Hall, he is caught by Batman and taken to Arkham Asylum, which temporarily houses many members of the Joker's gang, who were transferred after a fire at Blackgate Prison. Believing that the Joker has allowed himself to be captured, Batman accompanies him to the asylum. The Joker's plan is revealed as Harley Quinn takes over security and the Joker escapes into the facility, aided by a corrupt guard who kidnaps Commissioner Gordon. The Joker threatens to detonate the bombs hidden around Gotham City if anyone attempts to enter Arkham, forcing Batman to work alone. While tracking Quinn to the medical facility to save Gordon, Batman is exposed to Scarecrow's fear toxin and hallucinates, seeing Gordon's death and the corpses of his parents speaking to him. After fighting Scarecrow, Batman finds and subdues Quinn before rescuing Gordon. The Joker then directs Batman to the captured Bane, who has been experimented on by asylum doctor Penelope Young. The Joker frees Bane and Batman is forced to fight him, during which Quinn escapes. Next, he travels to a secret Batcave facility he had hidden on the island, where Batman restocks his gadgets.

There, Batman learns that the Joker has returned to the Asylum to gain access to Young, who developed Titan, a more powerful version of the Venom drug that gives Bane his strength, intending to use it to help patients survive more intense therapies. Young learned that the Joker had funded his research to create an army of superhuman henchmen; his refusal to hand over the formula precipitated the Joker's return to the asylum. While searching for Young, Batman is attacked again by Scarecrow and fear toxin, and hallucinates the night his parents died. After recovering, Batman destroys Young's Titan formula and saves Young from Victor Zsasz. An explosion kills Young and the Joker gets the full Titan bundles.

At the penitentiary, Quinn frees Poison Ivy from her cell before being imprisoned by Batman. Quinn accidentally reveals that Joker has a Titan production facility in the Arkham Botanical Gardens. Batman goes there and learns that Titan is created by genetically modified plants. He enlists Ivy's help in creating an antidote and learns that it can only be made from spores found exclusively in Killer Croc's lair in a sewer. On his way to Croc, Batman is attacked by Scarecrow again and overcomes several doses of fear toxin. Meanwhile, Joker injects Ivy with Titan, enhancing her powers. Ivy begins to ravage Arkham Island with giant mutated plants. Pursued by Batman into Croc's lair, Scarecrow is attacked by Croc and dragged underwater. Batman collects the necessary spores and subdues Croc before returning to the Batcave, but can only synthesize a single dose of the antidote before Ivy's plants enter the cave and destroy his equipment.

Batman returns to the botanical gardens and defeats Ivy, stopping the rampaging plants. The Joker announces that his party preparations are finally complete and Batman goes to the asylum reception center where the Joker's henchmen applaud him. The Joker reveals that he has taken over Gordon and tries to shoot him with a Titan-filled dart; Batman jumps to Gordon's defense and is shot instead. Batman tries to resist the change, and an upset Joker overdoses on Titan, transforming into a massive monster. In a makeshift arena on the roof of the building, the Joker challenges Batman to a fight as Titan-induced monsters in front of news helicopters. Batman refuses to transform, uses the antidote on himself, and defeats the Titan-affected Joker and his henchmen, knocking out his nemesis with an explosive gel-enhanced punch. Afterwards, those affected by Titan begin to return to normal, including the Joker, who is restrained and taken into custody while the police take over the asylum. Batman overhears a call about a Two-Face-led crime in progress and returns to Gotham City in the Batwing. In a post-credits scene, a Formula Titan crate is shown floating in the ocean near the asylum when a hand surfaces and grabs it.
