It started, as so many things in Gotham do, with a bang. Shortly after the eclipse an explosion rang out in Arkham Asylum's west wing, kicking up dust and setting free more than a few madmen. When the smoke cleared a single woman in a jester's outfit stood upon the fallen debris carrying a gun. She demanded one thing and one thing only: the Joker's release. With a multitude of madmen on her side the woman managed to overpower the guards and set Gotham's most feared villain free. He didn't thank her. He didn't rush into her arms or fulfill any of the romantic fantasies that had been playing in her head. Instead, he demanded the release of a man named Schiff and proceeded to turn what was left of Arkham's west wing into a blood bath.



The trio escaped but not before gaining the attention of Arkham's Head of Security, Aaron Cash. A large fearsome man, Cash had managed to bring a sense of order to the Asylum even if his methods were a little heavy handed at times. Inmates had learned to fear and respect the man because crossing him was something of a death wish. Only the Joker had ever dared to cross him and had been dragged back to his cell with broken bones. As the trio ran it appeared as if their escape would be cut short. Cash was closing in on them with an intent to kill. Just as his hook made contact with Joker's jumpsuit the Clown Prince of Crime threw out his hands and Cash vanished without a trace. It didn't take long for Joker to piece together what had happened. He may not have understood the logistics but what fun were facts? He had power and with that power he would turn Gotham into his playground.



His first order of business was to rid Gotham of all it's old, boring citizens and fill it with newer, more exciting, more interesting ones. He began to pull men and women from various fictional worlds into his own. To make sure none of his new toys could out (or that the hundreds of other super humans couldn't get in) he set up a barrier around the city, closing it off from the rest of the world.
