About five to seven years before the events of Arkham Asylum Batman is on the verge of completing his second year of crime fighting and for the most part is use to fighting those who are weaker and slower then him. That all changes on Christmas eye when Black Mask puts a 50 000 dollar and one night deadline bounty on the Batman's head. The bounty has drawn the attention of eight of the best contract killers in the world whom one by one Batman has to defeat while at the same time dealing with the enigmatic Anarky, the crazed clown like villain The Joker, and earn the trust of Police Captain James Gordon.

Batman learns of a breakout at Blackgate Prison being led by Black Mask who has also taken Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb hostage. Arriving at the Prison Batman discovers a ferocious humanoid Crocodile like creature calling himself Killer Croc aiding Black Mask. Tracking Black Mask and Loeb to the execution chamber Black Mask states that he's starting a clean slate, of which Loeb is not a part of. Simultaneously releasing Calendar Man and killing Loeb in his place Black Mask makes his escape while Killer Croc fights Batman. Defeating Croc Batman threatens to throw him off a cliff while Croc mockingly explains that Black Mask has set up a contest of sorts inviting 8 of the world's top assassins to kill Batman in one night for a 50 000 dollar bounty.

Escaping the GCPD as they retake the prison Batman goes back to the Batcave to analyze the data from a drone he found in the prison and learns that including Croc there are a total of 8 assassins trying to kill Batman:

The veteran mercenary Deathstroke.
The unrivaled marksman Deadshot.
The Spanish super soldier Bane.
The unstable pyromaniac Firefly.
The Tazer gauntlet armed Electrocutioner.
The unmatched Lady Shiva.
And the mysterious Copperhead.
