Since Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), his supporting cast has expanded to include other superheroes, and has become what is now called the "Bat-family". As with most superheroes, a cast of recurring enemies to the Batman family have been introduced throughout the years, collectively referred to as Batman's "rogues gallery".[1][2][3][4] Many characters from Batman's rogues gallery who are criminally insane become patients at Arkham Asylum after they are apprehended.
