Well it's not like they have anywhere else to put them.

Yeah, it makes way more sense to reduce the containment capacity of Arkham to zero just as the Joker arrives. What could go wrong?

The worst part is everyone is at least peripherally aware he's planning something, and they don't even sedate him. Oh well; they're all morons and they deserved to die.

I agree its completely stupid and totally ignores the circumstances that the decision is set in.

Which is why I believe, and I know that I'm making excuses for a plot hole here, that this is bound to be the result of a bureaucratic decision.
Credo!

It's par for the course in Batman, so you can't really complain about it. We know what we're getting. :) It's just like how Gotham still doesn't have the death penalty.

DP, I got the impression Zsazz would be back later for a 'proper' showing. Doesn't that happen?
