Blackgate Prison

DC | Building

Something Missing?

Construction of the original prison was started in the 1880s, after the Religion of Crime was driven out of Blackgate Isle. In the late 1980s, Blackgate Prison was condemned by Amnesty International and forced to shut down. When it eventually re-opened, it was officially known as "Blackgate Penitentiary".

Unlike Arkham Asylum, Blackgate is where non-insane criminals such as Roxy Rocket, Monsoon II, Echo, Knife, Catwoman, and various henchmen, mobsters, and mafia bosses are incarcerated when captured. There are instances where inmates from Arkham Asylum are temporarily moved to Blackgate, such as when Bane destroyed the original Arkham building. All of the Arkham inmates were incarcerated in Blackgate until the new Arkham structure was built and Arkham re-opened.
