Following his brutal assault on Oswald Cobblepot, Bruce, upon regaining his senses, finds himself in a padded cell in Arkham Asylum, but still suffers from the effects of the drug injected into him. Dressing into overalls, he is greeted by an orderly, who lets two of his father's victims into his cell and gives them a taser. Though he puts up a fight, Bruce is subdued and beaten by the men, only to be saved by another inmate. As Dr. Leland arrives, she asks Bruce to know what happened, to which he can lie or tell them about what the patient did. As they leave for the recreation room, Leland introduces the patient as their name for him, "John Doe".
As they are taken to through the Asylum, Bruce sees how derelict the conditions are due to his father's use of the asylum. As they arrived at the Recreation Room, Leland leaves them to attend to another matter. As John leaves to get the remote, he gives Bruce a key. He can explore the room and interact with the other patients, including Victor Zsasz and Arnold Wesker, and/or try the key on a number of different objects. When John returns, he switches to the news channel, showing one of Dent's addresses to the city. If Bruce tried to use the key, John will laugh, revealing it to have been a fake and that Bruce "actually tried to use it".
With the report revealing that Harvey Dent was the one who sent him to the asylum, Bruce realizes that was sent there because of his perceived affair with Selina and that his increasing mental instability. When a report reveals that Vicki Vale has gone missing, Doe reveals his knowledge that she is Lady Arkham. Believing Bruce to be on a collision course with her, he reveals that she is actually the daughter of the Arkhams, the family that ran the Asylum, having been adopted by the Vales. John also reveals that Vicki seeks retribution for her parents' deaths, having been murdered on Thomas Wayne's orders to prevent them from blowing the whistle on his activities.
Offering to help Bruce escape from the asylum, John asks for a favor, but will go through with the plans regardless of whether he accepts or not. To achieve this, he starts a riot by cutting Zsasz cheek and causing the killer to have a psychotic breakdown. Lashing out, Zsasz is able to attack the attention of the orderlies and gives Bruce the opportunity to use the phone. However, he also has the option of trying to stop Zsasz and prevent more fighting.

Bruce chooses stop Zsasz and put an end to the fighting, putting himself in front of the other inmates. Though he is able to put up a good fight, Zsasz gets the upper hand and knocks him unconscious.

However, during the midst of it, Alfred arrives to take Bruce to the Manor, having either been able to rally the lawyers to release Bruce on bail or Gordon accepting his offer and arranging for him to be released. Despite Leland's protests, Bruce is released into Alfred care and given permission to leave the asylum. As they do, they encounter John, who will either tell Bruce to "ask the Vales" or that he will see him on the outside, depending on what he chose to do during the riot.

If he advised Selina to leave Gotham, he will receive a text from her to check up on him after his release. Bruce then receives a call from Harvey, still bitter for "stealing Selina from him", who threatens his old friend. He explains that he has turned public opinion against the Wayne name and is using Bruce as a figure of hate in the city. After feeling the effects of his drugging kick in, Bruce hangs up, just as he and Alfred arrive at one of Dent's checkpoints.
