Arkham City: The Order of the World #[nn]

Dr. Jacosta Joy, a survivor of the A-Day attack, teams up with Gotham detective Stone to hunt down elusive Arkham escapees whose twisted talents turn fear into something tangible. As they follow a trail of psychological horror through the city’s shadows, the line between madness and method begins to blur.

In "The Order of the World Chapter 2," Dr. Joy grapples with the unsettling visions of the Ten-Eyed Man as Gotham’s secrets deepen, while Azrael answers a cryptic call that leads him to hunt down Arkham escapees—starting with the imprisoned Doctor Double X, now in the hands of a ruthless faction.

In "The Order of the World Chapter 3," Dr. Joy presses forward with the Ten-Eyed Man, drawn into a deeper mystery when their path leads them to Solomon Grundy—whose knowledge of Gotham’s buried past could unravel everything. Meanwhile, Azrael closes in, tracking Joy with growing urgency, knowing she’s entangled with the escaped inmates from Arkham.

In "The Order of the World Chapter 4," Ten-Eyed Man fights Azrael in a desperate bid to buy Dr. Joy time to flee, as the city’s shadows grow heavier and secrets unravel. Dr. Joy crosses paths with Nocturna and Dr. Phosphorous, only to discover they’ve all seen the same ghost—Amadeus Arkham—haunting their dreams. Meanwhile, Detective Stone closes in on a dangerous truth: Dr. Joy has been sheltering Arkham’s inmates, and the line between protector and prisoner is blurring.

In "The Order of the World Chapter 5," Dr. Joy finds herself caught in a tense alliance with Doctor Phosphorous and Nocturna as Azrael’s sudden assault forces a desperate retreat. With Azrael wounded, Joy pushes for a risky plan—taking him to the hospital, where they’ll reunite with Doctor No-Face and the scattered remnants of Arkham’s escapees, all drawn toward a grim purpose under Professor Pyg’s unseen hand.

In the final chapter of *Arkham City: The Order of the World*, Professor Pyg has transformed his asylum into a sanctuary for former Arkham patients, where Dr. Joy oversees a fragile new order. With newfound freedom granted to Azrael against her warnings, the balance of control begins to unravel—leaving the asylum’s quiet stability hanging by a thread.
