Template:Infobox Batman: Arkham City is the upcoming sequel to the action-adventure stealth game Batman: Arkham Asylum, based on DC Comics' Batman for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows. It is being developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. and DC Comics. The game was officially announced during the beginning of the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards. It is currently scheduled to be released in late 2011. Template:Continue Nav The story for Arkham City takes place one year after the events of Arkham Asylum. Quincy Sharp, former warden of Arkham Asylum, has taken credit for stopping the Joker, and used that notoriety to become mayor of Gotham City. As neither Arkham nor Blackgate Prison are in any condition to hold inmates, Sharp buys out a large section of Gotham's slums and arms the perimeter with private military contractors from a group called Tyger in order to create "Arkham City". The prisoners are brought into Arkham City and are given free rein, as long as they do not attempt escape. To oversee the city, Sharp uses psychiatrist Hugo Strange, who appears to have his own secret agenda for the city. Batman maintains a vigil over the city, worried that the situation may get out of hand.

The events of the game are set in motion when Two-Face, seeking to gain status among the inmates and other villains outside the city, devises a plan to publicly execute Catwoman. For the safety of Gotham and his past relationship with Catwoman, Batman decides to stop the execution by entering Arkham City himself.
