Synopsis: - Corporate high-flyer and big-time fraudster Warren White, a.k.a. "The Great White Shark" manages to wriggle out of a guilty verdict in a big trial by claiming insanity. Unfortunately for him, the trial is held in Gotham and he is sentenced to Arkham, where he finds himself sharing a cell with cult leader Death Rattle, being intimidated by inmates such as Two-Face and Killer Croc, and showering with the Joker. He persuades a therapist, Anne Carver, that he is sane, but as the two make plans for his escape, Carver is revealed to be serial murderer Jane Doe, who planned to take over Warren White's life. She is thwarted by Batman, and Warren White, known to the other inmates as "fish", is stuck in Arkham.
