AN: Sorry for the OC Dr. Nemus, I just needed a Doctor and couldn't decide between the cannon ones.

Arkham Asylum Patient Overview
From the desk of:
Dr. Joshua Nemus, head of Psychology Arkham Asylum
The recent influx of criminal psychotics returning to Arkham Asylum of their own free will is a mystery in need of solving in order to properly treat these unfortunates.
So far the only connection found between these patients has been the Joker(real name unknown), and any attempt to inquire for details from the patients is met by either hysteria or a complete shut down of all responses.
Although every patient had a different experience and has presented different symptoms since arrival, they all have one thing in common: a refusal to leave the asylum grounds.
Below is a summary of the effected patients, perhaps someone at a later time can shed some light on what these unfortunates suffered and can find a way to help them.
Patient Name: Pamela Isley aka Poison Ivy
Patient surrendered to the police and was immediately hospitalized for sever acid burns on eighty percent of her body. Upon awakening the patient proceeded to have hysterics.
It was not until an orderly noticed that all the patients attention was focused on the potted plant at her bedside, and removed said plant, that patient began to calm. Patient then asked to be sent to Arkham Asylum for protection, but refused to say why or from whom she required protection.
Since arrival patient has said almost nothing, but sobs openly at any reference to the Joker(real name unknown). Patient also presents hysterics at the sight of any living plant, and has had to be sedated on a number of occasions.
Patient Name: Johnathan Crane aka Scarecrow
Patient surrendered to the police and has been in a catatonic state ever since.
The only indication anyone has as to what he has gone through is from when he screams 'Stop the laughing!' in his sleep.
Patient will also cower closer to himself at any mention of the Joker(real name unknown).
Patient Name: Jarvis Tetch aka Mad Hatter
Patient surrendered to police and was immediately hospitalized for sever food poisoning. When the patients stomach was pumped it was found that he had consumed a large, raw, white rabbit; bones, fur and all.
Although patient has been highly talkative, he will only speak in quotes from Lewis Carrol.
Patient also presents with hysteria at the sight of anyone with blonde hair, wearing blue, is female or any combination of those three.
When asked of his experience with the Joker(real name unknown) his response is always the same: "The Red Queen is angry. We must wait for Twinkle Twinkle to help."
We have come to the conclusion that the 'Red Queen' is a reference to the Joker(real name unknown), and 'Twinkle Twinkle' is a reference to the Batman(real name unknown).
Patient Name: Edward Nigma aka Riddler
Patient surrendered to police and was immediately hospitalized for sever lacerations across his entire body. Once cleaned the cuts on his chest spelled out: WHAT IS THE ANSWER? The rest of the patients body was covered in question marks(?).
Patient is the most lucid of the group, but will shut down completely for hours up to days if pressed about the Joker(real name unknown) or about the large question mark(?) adorning is left cheek.
Patient been recently placed on suicide watch after threatening to take his own life when offered the chance to transfer to a different facility. It should be noted that the patient let slip the word 'He cannot protect me if I'm not in Arkham!' while ranting.
Patient Name: Harvey Dent aka Two-Face
Patient surrendered to the police and asked to be transferred to Arkham Asylum immediately. Patient is completely unresponsive unless in the presence of patient Edward Nigma aka Riddler.
Patient has been found to be extremely apologetic, even apologizing for things that were not his fault.
When offered a two sided coin for therapy purposes- his original one having been found broken in two and embedded in his back- patient began to cry and repeat over and over until he was sedated: It wasn't his fault. I forgive him.
It is believed that he was referring to he Batman(real name unknown).
Patient Name: Oswald Cobblepot aka Penguin
Patient surrendered to police and was immediately taken to the hospital. Patient had been surgically grafted with feathers all across his body and had a bad infection.
After the feathers were removed and the infection under control, patient asked to be transfered to Arkham Asylum as soon as possible.
Patient will speak only when spoken to and prefers to communicate using bird whistles. Though it should be noted that the sight of any bird, big or small, will set patient off into hysterics.
Patient Name: Waylon Jones aka Killer Crock
Patient is the only one who did not voluntarily surrender to police. Though it should be noted that this is due more to his extensive injuries than to any motivation on the patient's part.
Patient was found outside police headquarters in a large green and purple box. At first authorities did not believe the patient was still alive.
Patient has had all extremities removed: arms, legs, tail and genitalia. Patient also had all remaining scales removed with what authorities believe was a cheese grater, and his jaw broken in eighteen places after his teeth were removed.
It is only because of patient Waylon Jones aka Killer Crock's mutagenic state that he survived and is now recovering and growing back his limbs.
No theories have been substantiated as to why the Joker(real name unknown) would treat this patient differently from the rest. All further inquiries will need to wait until patient regains use of his jaw.
Notes from the desk of:
Dr. Joshua Nemus, head of psychology Arkham Asylum
Since writing the above summaries, it has been brought to my attention that all the above noted patient will be instantly calmed- no matter how sever their hysteria- at the mention of the Batman(real name unknown).
Even catatonic patient Johnathan Crane aka Scarecrow will give small responses at the mention of the Batman(real name unknown).
