(This is obviously a VERY loose adaption in my head). Dr. Harleen Quinzel is a leader at Arkham Asylum, having had a long and successful career there. Some of her notable work includes the rehabilitation of the formerly criminally insane Harvey Dent, Pam Ivy, and Jervis Tetch, the establishment of a more ethical and kind philosophy of treatment at the facility, and achieving the position of head doctor at the facility, passing over even the heir to the Arkham name, Amadeus Arkham, and the reclusive, prickly genius, Jonathan Crane. She holds a dark secret, however; an intense, sexual relationship with a former patient, the mass-murderer Arthur Fleck, better known as Joker. However, Joker died many years ago in a confrontation between himself, the Batman, and the GCPD, ending with the GCPD opening fire on the criminal. But now, a new patient has been admitted into Arkham Asylum; a patient claiming to be Arthur Fleck, the Joker, also referring to himself as Lou Morningstar. His prints match a former mob enforcer named Jack Napier, but he has no memory of this. Dr. Quinzel initially dismisses his claims to be her former lover as nothing but the ravings of a mad man or someone trying to gain a form of “asylum clout,” but soon, as she begins to have therapy sessions with the man, he begins revealing things about their relationship that only the real Joker could possibly know.
