To the fans of the hit tv show this is the location used as the back drop for Arkham Asylum. To us locals its simply known as Bayley Seton Hospital.
What was once Staten Islands first hospital is now a crumbling complex with most of the buildings being abandoned. It is a perfect setting to portray Gothams Arkham Asylum. The Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, commonly called Arkham Asylum or simply Arkham, is a fictional psychiatric hospital appearing most commonly in stories featuring Batman. Many criminals who experience psychosis have been patients within the Asylum and also escaped from it, mostly from Batman's rogues gallery (such as the Joker, the Penguin, Poison Ivy, the Riddler, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Bane, Killer Croc, and Harley Quinn). The Arkham Asylum is named after the Sanatorium in the fictional city of Arkham, Massachusetts, found in many of H.P. Lovecraft's short horror and science fiction stories, the first being "The Unnamable".
