Why do all of batman's villains get sent to arkham asylum...

Why do all of batman's villains get sent to arkham asylum? Not all of them are mentally ill and some are just regular old criminals.

But they don't. The sane ones go to blackgate prison.

had a ridiculous bird obsession in ye olden days and was sent to arkham
>scarecrow
obsession with phobias
>mr freeze
blackgate was never provided with a freezer for him, and is detained at arkham since they were able to provide for his weird needs

2/3rds of those characters are in arkham asylum serious house on serious earth alone. you just copypasted a a bunch of batman villains and said they went there instead of arkham.

>blackgate was never provided with a freezer for him, and is detained at arkham since they were able to provide for his weird needs
That must be weird for everyone. Imagine being the orderly on Freeze's first day there.

>we're a madhouse
>yes
>but you say you're not insane
>yes
>but you're in an insane asylum
>only because blackgate CAN'T HOLD MY FROZEN FORM
>that's what they all say, buddy, now take your meds

>only because blackgate CAN'T HOLD MY FROZEN FORM
I'm torn between saying that, as a scientist, Freeze would be smart enough to know how that sounds and wouldn't say that. And that Freeze would know how that sounds but say it anyway to fuck with the orderly.
I don't even know much about his character other than ice puns and muh wife

It's comics. You can't expect this shit to stay consistent.

It would sound ridiculous. If he wasn't standing in a fucking freezer at that moment.

You don't really get excused from prison based on any mental disorder you can name.
That being said, I'm not sure what the functional difference between Arkham and Blackgate really is.
I imagine Arkham would be a worse place to spend time at, for most people.

They can't think of a better reason to have a bunch of the big-name villains in one place.

Because you'd have to be insane to fight a man dressed as a bat with weapons and gadgets beyond modern technological progress.

Bane, Penguin, Catwoman, Deadshot, KGBeast, Falcone and Maroni all traditionally get incarcerated in Blackgate as opposed to Arkham.

>Two face
hes in Arkham

According to his Gotham Academy appearance,Croc was actually sent to Blackgate first, but got in so many fights and was so difficult a prisoner they sent him to Arkham since they have specialised methods of handling supercriminals. Kind of like how Mr Freeze gets sent there because its the only institution that can actually accommodate his needs of a chilled cell.

i always felt that arkham & blackgate were too low security for actual metahumans like clayface, killer croc and poison ivy.

it's like how i can't imagine someone like ra's al ghul going anywhere but whatever equivalent DC has to guantanamo bay

Penguin has been shown to be sent to Blackgate numerous times. Having a bird fetish and being well connected doesn't get him in Arkham

Some times they go to arkham.

Most metahumans get sent to arkham because blackgate can't hold them

DCs version of Gitmo is The Phantom Zone

The Penguin gets sent to black gate most of the time. As does mobsters like Falcone. Bane is usually sent there unless his addiction to venom is in it's most extreme cases.
Harley and Croc, being in Suicide Squad, are sent to Belle Reve.
Many Arkham regulars (through corrupt bribing) have been sent to Blackgate before, like Victor Zsasz being sent there as a hitman.

That's Belle Reve prison in Louisiana. That's usually the one with the most metahuman protection.
It's also secretly using them for Task Force X, the government secret attack group made of supervillains also known as Suicide Squad.

It seems better than Arkham

>HOW COME BATMAN PUTS ALL HIS CRIMINALS IN AN INSANE ASYLUM EVEN THE NON-CRAZIES, HUH, CHECKMATE ATHEISTS!
>He doesn't. That's what Blackgate is for.
>NUH UH CITE FIVE NAMES NOW OR ADMIT YOU'RE WRONG AND I'M RIGHT
>cites five names
>THOSE DON'T COUNT CUZ I SAID SO
>Hi, I'm OP, I am a huge faggot, please put your delicious, juicy, hot, smelly dick in my face-fuck-hole right now, I can't go five minutes without sucking cock
Don't you Sup Forumscksuckers get tired of Bat-baiting every damn day?

In Beware the Batman, Killer Croc was actually the capo of Blackgate.

Speaking of that show, it had the opposite problem, where genuinely insane criminals (like Magpie, Humpty Dumpy, arguably Professor Pyg) get locked up alongside regular crooks. They even point out the negligence and the fact that they don't belong there. I always thought that would build up to Arkham Asylum opening up, but considering the show got cancelled prematurely, it doesn't matter anymore.

Sometimesyes. But not always.

>but considering the show got cancelled prematurely
It still hurts.
I blame the laser guns.

>all that mental gymnastic itt
It's because old American asylums look like haunted houses you dopes.

What a shitty excuse

You are a stupid casual. You dont even like Batman don't you?

user, the vast majority of those villains are in fact usually in Arkham, I believe that David Cain is the only one there who has never been sent to Arkham. The reason they're all included in that link you posted is because every time Arkham gets blown up, they have to transfer everybody to Blackgate while they repair it.

>Clayface

Gets sent to Arkham because only they can hold him.

>Firefly

Manic pyromania.

>Ventriloquist

Split personality disorder, some versions say he made Scarface with Arkham wood.
