================================
V 0.1
In this little FAQ, I shall merely list out everyone's in-game bio and also,
in the next update, a transcript of all the Patient Interview tapes that you can
find scattered throughout Arkham Asylum. I also decided that I want to put in
the notes from the journal that came with the Collector’s Edition as an added
bonus at the bottom portion of this FAQ. That will also be in the next update.
There is a bunch of spoilers in this FAQ (which should have been obvious) so if
you have not finished the game yet or don’t like spoilers... LEAVE NOW BEFORE
IT’S TOO LATE.

V 0.2   (08-29-09)
I added the Collector's Edition journal entries and made a few text changes to
the bios (spelling errors and such). The next update will have the patient
interviews. Its taking longer than I thought it would.
If there are any mistakes or quotes that are wrong, send me an email
(kiriyamanexATgmailDOTcom)
V Final (09-01-09)
Added the Patient Interviews. If a line has errors or gave a speaker a wrong
name, send an email!
A (+) symbol will denote that a character has interview tape.
A * symbol denotes a personal note that I felt needed to be added on. Also, I
have listed the characters in order from left to right in the Bios Menu just in
case you are missing someone and want to know who it is for whatever reason.
With that being said, let’s get to it!

Patient Interviews:
------------------------------
Patient Interview #1, June 16th
------------------------------
Dr. Young: Taped patient interview. Subject has no recorded name, alias listed
as the Joker.
In the room is Warden Sharp and myself, Dr. Young.
Joker: (Ugh) is this another one of those boring psych evaluation tests?
Dr. Young: No, it’s not. So, you're the famous Joker.
Joker: In the flesh. So Doc, do you want me to look at the ink blots again? The
first one is a kitten I had when I was a child. The second one is, hmmm, let's
see... a dead elephant. The third is a...
Dr. Young: Very funny. Now let’s skip the jokes.
Joker: Skip the jokes? Hey, Sharpie, didn’t she get my permanent record?
Warden Sharp: Be quiet, clown!
Dr. Young: Every doctor that has ever interviewed you claims a different type of
psychosis. Everything from multiple personality disorders to well... the list is
endless.
Joker: (soft giggle) Well, I do my best.
Dr. Young: Well, I don’t believe it. Anything can be cured with
the correct treatment.
Joker: And... you think... you can cure me?
Dr. Young: Oh, I know I can.
------------------------------
Patient Interview #17, July 27th
------------------------------
Dr. Young: Taped patient interview 17. Joker remains uncooperative.
My earlier diagnosis remains true. I believe he enjoys his persona too much.
Joker: What’s up, Doc?
Dr. Young: Today I thought we'd try something different.
Joker: You'll make me blush, Doc. I have a girlfriend.
Dr. Young: Dr. Quinzel. I know. I've seen the tapes. I saw what happened.
Joker: What can I say, I'm a charmer.
Dr. Young: Anyway, I thought it would be good to talk about your childhood.
Joker: Ever heard of romance, Doc? I don't give up the goods for free. You have
to try harder.
Dr. Young: What are you hiding?
Joker: Didn't you hear me? You scratch my back, Doc, and... well, I won't have
you wrapped in plastic and left in a gutter.
------------------------------
Patient Interview #20, August 1st
------------------------------
Dr. Young: Taped patient interview 20. Joker is more interesting than I
originally believed. When Project Titan is operational, I believe Joker will be
the perfect test subject.
Good afternoon. Today I thought I'd skip back to our previous conversations
about your family.
Joker: Of course. I was born in a small fishing village. I always wanted to join
the circus, but my father wouldn't really let me.
Dr. Young: I don't believe you.
Joker: My father was a cop, 1 week from retirement when the mob...
Dr. Young: I've seen the movie. What are you scared of?
Joker: Scared?
Dr. Young: Yes, scared! There's obviously something. Something that made you
what you are.
Joker: What if... what if I am too scared to remember? It hurts too much.
Dr. Young: Then I can help you.
------------------------------
Case study notes December 22nd
------------------------------
Dr. Young: These are the private notes of Dr. Young. Titan is a success. Even my
funding worries have been solved after the unexpected donations from Mr. White.
Joker has also shown a remarkable interest in the possibility of a cure. Once
the protein bonding process is finalized, I will...
(Knocking)
Asylum guard: Dr. Young, you ready?
Dr. Young: Oh, yes. Yes, come in!
(Door opening)
Joker: You'll hurt my feelings Doc. Keeping me waiting like that.
Dr. Young: Sit down, you can leave us.
Guard: You sure?
Dr. Young: We're fine. Aren't we, Joker?
Joker: Oh yes.
Guard: Well, if you insist. I'm just outside. OK?
(Door closes)
Joker: So, is he here? Did your Patient X arrive?
Dr. Young: Yes, I must say progressing more rapidly than I expected. But...
enough of that. Let's talk about you.
Joker: No. Let's talk more about your Titan project.
Dr. Young: My what...? How do you...?
Joker: How do I know you have Bane strapped to a table in the basement while you
pump him dry? Would you believe a lucky guess?
------------------------------
Case study notes December 23rd
------------------------------
Dr. Young: I've been a fool. Joker was behind it all. He's Jack White, he gave
me the money, pulled strings to release Bane. How could I not have seen it?
He's been blackmailing me. He has a crazy plan to create an army of monsters. I
want out, but...
(Phone rings)
Hello... hello? Doctor Young's office.
Harley Quinn: Please hold for Mr. White.
Dr. Young: What?
Joker: Hello, Doc. We need to talk.
Dr. Young: I'm not doing it, Joker. Do you hear me? Wait, how did you get access
to a phone?
Joker: Oh yes, sorry, Doc, had to split. I hate small confined spaces, reminds
me of my childhood.
Dr. Young: Another lie?
Joker: Who knows? I certainly don't, but let's not get distracted with
details... So anyway. I want my monsters.
Dr. Young: I sent you back the money. I don't want it.
Joker: Do I look like I care about money? I just want my monsters, Doc. And if
you don't give them to me, well then, it won't be funny!

------------------------------

Warden Sharp: My God!
Dr. Whistler: Hello. My name is Dr. Gretchen Whistler. Do you understand me?
Killer Croc: Yeah, I hear you, bitch. So, when's dinner? I'm getting hungry.
------------------------------

Dr. Whistler: Taped patient session 2. Patient name Waylon Jones AKA Killer
Croc.
Killer Croc: So is this the part where you try and reason with me? Find out why
I did it, Doc?
Dr. Whistler: We're here to help you, Mr. Jones.
Croc: You got a cure for me then, Doc? Can you make me... normal?
Dr. Whistler: Normal is a poor choice of words. No one is really normal, are
they?
Croc: Figured as much. So how about this, Doc? You let me go now, and I won't
eat you.
Dr. Whistler: You don't really eat people. It's just an urban myth.

Patient Interview #5, February 25th
------------------------------
Aaron Cash: Sit down and shut up!
Killer Croc: You think I'm scared of you, Cash? I've got your scent, you're...
(Electrical sounds / Croc screaming)
Aaron Cash: And I've got yours too. Know what? It stinks. Carry on, Doc.
Dr. Whistler: Please don't do that again, Mr. Cash. It's not helping. I'm sorry
about the collar, but what can we do if you insist on hospitalizing 3 guards?

I’m happy to wait here. Wait for the Bat. He'll be back and I'll kill him. Then

What happened back in that house?
Killer Croc: Just business.
Dr. Whistler: Business? What kind of business practices result in a house full
of mutilated corpses?
Croc: I don't like having my time wasted. Someone doesn't pay, they need a
lesson. They owed me.
Dr. Whistler: So you killed them. Tore up their bodies. The police never found
all the pieces.
Croc: They should have looked in the sewers.
Dr. Whistler: Are you saying you hid them there?

6. Harley Quinn (+)
==============================
Story:
An Arkham Asylum psychiatrist assigned to treat The Joker, Dr. Harleen Quinzel
instead became obsessively fixated on her patient, believing herself to be in
love with him. She helped him escape confinement and took on her own criminal
identity as Harley Quinn. Quin is a violent and unpredictable felon whose only

actually crawled out of Hell itself)

------------------------------
Employee orientation, March 3rd
------------------------------
Dr. Whistler: Harleen Quinzel?
Harleen Quinzel: Call me Harley, everyone does.
Dr. Whistler: I'm surprised you want to intern here at Arkham.
Harley: I've always had a thing for extreme personalities. You can't deny
there's an element of glamour to these super criminals.
Dr. Whistler: I'll warn you right not, those are hardcore psychotics. Most would
rather kill you than speak to you.
Harley: I'm sure I'll be fine, Doctor.
Dr. Whistler: They'll eat you for breakfast. I mean it, one or two of them will
enjoy it too. Be careful.
------------------------------
Patient interview #1, March 3rd
------------------------------
Dr. Harleen Quinzel: Patient interview number 1.
Joker: So, I'm your first, am I, toots? You know what they say, you never forget
your first time. I'll try to make it memorable for you.
Dr. Quinzel: Oh, you already have. Tell me, why do you do the things you do?
Joker: Why do you think I do it?
Dr. Quinzel: Fame, notoriety, a desire to stand out from the crowd? A wicked
sense of humor.
Joker: (Gasp) You're good! How did you figure me out, Doc? I've had doctors
poking around in here for years and no one was as astute, and if you don't mind
my saying, beautiful as you.
Dr. Quinzel: Really? Oh, you're just playing with me.
Joker: Well, you'll never know, will you, unless...
Dr. Quinzel: Unless what? Tell me!
------------------------------
Patient interview #2, March 4rh
------------------------------
Dr. Harleen Quinzel: Care to tell me how these got in my office?
Joker: Simple, really. I put them there. Why, don't you like flowers?
Dr. Quinzel: I think the guards would be interested to know you've been out of
your cell.
Joker: (laughs) If you really were going to tell, you already would've.
Dr. Quinzel: How do you know I haven't already...?
Joker: Y'know, sweets, I like you. I really do. Even your name. Rework it a bit
and we get...
Dr. Quinzel: Harlequin, like the clown, I know. I've heard it before.
Joker: It's a name that puts a smile on my face. It makes me think there's
someone here I can relate to. Someone who might like to hear my secrets.
Dr. Quinzel: Really? Go on!
Joker: Not here, my dear, too many ears and eyes. Come back tonight, I'll be
ready for you.
------------------------------
Patient interview #4, March 6th
------------------------------
Joker: He's crazy, you know.
Dr. Harleen Quinzel: Who? Batman?
Joker: No, Santa Claus. Of course Batman. Always Batman. I've seen it in his
eyes. Screaming mad stalkers. And dishonest, hiding his face behind a fright
mask. Well, no masks for me. I have nothing to hide. I laugh at the cruel
absurdity of the world. But Batman... Batman, he's got them all fooled. He's
made them think he can make a difference. That he can actually make things
better. And the Joke of it is, they all believe it.
Dr. Quinzel: The police?
Joker: The police, the media, the frickin' junior rangers, every last sack of
walking meat in this urban cesspool. Listen, sweets, Batman knows we're all on
the same funhouse slide into madness, why won't he admit it? He's up there in
his belfry laughing at us. And the real gag is, the miserable liar is allowed to
run free while I'm in here.
Dr. Quinzel: That’s really incisive.
Joker: Then you understand, don't you? You know why I do what I have to do. You
know Gotham's only real savior... is me.
------------------------------
Patient interview #11, April 1st
------------------------------
Dr. Harleen Quinzel: (whispering) I got what you wanted.
Joker: You did? I mean... good. How did you smuggle it in... Actually, I don't
want to know. So, you read to stop that evil, murdering bat once and for all?
Dr. Quinzel: Of course I am. He needs to pay for what he's done to you.
Joker: Give it here then, quickly.
(Sound of a gun cocking a round into the chamber then fires, breaking glass.
Asylum alarm sounds.)
Joker: (laughs) C'mon, Doc. We've got ourselves a Bat to kill.
Harley Quinn: Uh uh uh. The Doc's out, puddin'. Say hello to your new and
improved Harley Quinn.
(Joker and Harley laughing)

District Attorney Harvey Dent was one of Batman's strongest allies in Gotham
City, until a criminal threw acid in Dent's face, hideously scarring him. The
wounds fractured his psyche, and he was reborn as a schizoid criminal
mastermind, obsessed with duality. His former good-luck charm, a "two-headed"
trick silver dollar, was damaged on one side in the attack, and Dent has seized
on it as a reflection of his half-scarred visage. He flips it to decide the

10. The Great White Shark
==============================
Story:
A crooked financier who stole millions of dollars, Warren White thought he'd
scored a legal victory when his insanity plea went through. But when he got to
Arkham Asylum, he realized his mistake; driven insane by the other inmates, he
was also disfigured by an encounter with Mr. Freeze that left him without hair,
a nose, ears, or lips.* Calling himself the Great White Shark, he filed his
teeth into fangs to more perfectly resemble his new namesake. Putting his
financial skills to use, he has become a major player in Gotham's underground
crime scene, in running a number of rackets from his cell in Arkham.
(* This is untrue. While a riot was happening in the asylum, Warren was taken
prisoner by Jane Doe and threw him into Mr. Freeze's cell. After being in the
freezing cold cell for a while, he managed to untie his bonds but "at a cost of
three fingers and his right thumb". He then fell to his knees and hit his face
on the floor in frustration. This destroyed the area from his upper lip to the
bridge of his nose, thus scarring him.)

brawl, resulting in him being sent to Blackgate Prison. There he encountered the
puppet Scarface, and promptly murdered the man who'd carved the puppet. The two
