Will Arkham Asylum be explored more?
One of the biggest missteps the movie made that was fixed in the show was the relatively little time fans got to spend in the playground of nightmares that is Arkham Asylum. Quite literally, it houses a trove of the best villains, including The Joker, whose scene inside the insane asylum was unceremoniously cut from The Batman, even though Saltburn weirdo Barry Keoghan was at his sadistic best.
After a planned Arkham Asylum TV series was scrapped, all hope seemed lost until episode four of The Penguin, in which we get a gruesome glimpse into how compellingly torturous Sofia Gigante’s stay at Arkham State Hospital was for an entire decade. Given the fact she’s back in her old, deranged stomping grounds, and the best Batman villains are in Arkham, The Batman Part II would be foolish to treat it like a side quest after The Penguin made us want to live in that world for longer.
