This paperback collects the Batman: Arkham Reborn storyline, which was originally published in the one-shot Battle for the Cowl: Arkham Asylum #1 (originally published in June, 2009), in the three-part comic book series Arkham Reborn (Volume 1) (originally published from December, 2009 to February, 2010) and in the comic book series Detective Comics (Volume 1) (originally published in June and July, 2010).

This storyline follows the Black Mask's destruction of Arkham Asylum in the Batman: Battle for the Cowl storyline. Dr. Jeremiah Arkham has rebuilt the Asylum following the design of his mad Uncle Amadeus. Intended as a model for enlightened treatment of mental illness, the building soon mutates into a torture house, and the inmates find themselves trapped in a living hell. And when Jeremiah starts hearing a voice from beyond the grave, it becomes painfully clear that the lunatics really have taken over the Asylum and he is forced to call in Batman to put down a riot.
