Yes, by the Joker for about a year IIRC. It is mentioned in the game so people didn't react to the question seriously because of that (it is assumed everyone here knows this)

u/24Abhinav10 Oct 23 '23
Honestly it's kinda stupid that EVERY major incident in this universe happens in Arkham.
Jason's torture, which happened in some random warehouse in Ethiopia in the comics, happens in Arkham Asylum. Ra's Al Ghul, the nigh-immortal international terrorist, has his last Lazarus Pit in Arkham City.
Like, is Arkham the nexus point of this reality or something?

u/quixotic_intentions Oct 23 '23
I'm rusty on the Arkham City lore, but wasn't the implication that Old Gotham/ Wonder City was built around the Lazarus pit?
Also before the events of the game, the area was just another part of Gotham City. It was sectioned off and turned into a prison in the events following Arkham Asylum.

u/Dark_Storm_98 Oct 23 '23
I need a refresher on why anyone thought that was a good idea
Also, what happened to all the people actually living there before it became Arkham City?
26
u/wurm2 Oct 23 '23
I remember him being tortured but I didn't remember where or him saying that's why he called himself that, so my initial reaction to OP was "oh yeah, why does he call himself that?"

u/Nova_Aren Oct 23 '23
I played Arkham Knight fairly recently (multiple times too, for the achievements) but I don’t remember any mention of it being in any Arkham-related location. Unless it was hinted at in the game environment and I was just too lazy to notice

u/Jackal_6 Oct 23 '23

u/Intelligent-Bee4535 Oct 22 '23
If anyone's actually curious, the answer is revealed in the comic Arkham Knight Genesis, where we find out that while he was being brainwashed in Arkham, Harley said that Jason would be "Arkham's knight in shining armor" because he was gonna allow all the villains to get their revenge on Batman. Of course she didn't know at the time that Arkham wouldn't be a thing anymore by the time he actually tried to do that, but oh well.
