Q: Does Arkham have any success stories and if not, how does it continue to get funding? -- @TheMikeLawrence A: I'll be honest with you, Mike: If you look at it logically, Arkham Asylum is a genuinely terrible mental hospital. Heck, even if you just look at it by the standards of comic book penal institutions, which only exist so that crooks can escape from them and occasionally provide something
