Media: Batman: Arkham Asylum - The History of Arkham Asylum Trailer
August 20, 2009 | 5:07 PM PST

There are some parts of the Batman mythos which most everyone is familiar with. They know how a young Bruce Wayne witnessed his parents' death, driving him to seek vengeance and taking on the form of a bat to dispense justice. They know of young Dick Grayson, whose parents fell to their deaths in a trapeze act as a "message" to the owner of the circus, leading to his adoption as Bruce's ward and Batman's sidekick, Robin.

As for the Joker? Don't even pretend. It's been varied so much over the years, and it doesn't even seem like he knows for sure where he came from.
