Does anyone have those panels from the story where Wolverine gets killed, resurrected, and mind controlled by the Hand into murdering various superheroes, and then he (along with a handful of zombie Hand ninjas) somehow manages to sneak up on Daredevil? Someone brought it up in a convo today and I recall that fight being particularly good.

I remember reading that! But I don't remember when it happened.

I could be just remembering the video game, but I'm pretty sure Bane goes to Arkham too. Not because he's crazy, but because they have all the superpowered stuff to hold him. Same for Freeze.

Also Blackgate burned down before the events of the game, leading to a bunch of non-crazy inmates beiong transferred to Arkham for holding until Blackgate re-opened. Bane had probably been there for a while though, since they were doing illegal experiments with Venom harvested from his body.

I was going to say, Bane was at Arkham so Dr. God I Hate Her So Much could do all those Venom tests on him.

Yeah people like Ivy or Freeze who need specific conditions to keep them alive tend to go to Arkham just because of the facilities they have there. I could see Bane who is both eight feet tall as well as across and as smart as Batman having some kind of supermax ultra lockdown cell there.

I did like in that Batman annual how Riddler is such a massive threat now because of Zero Year, they didn't want to risk opening his cell at all so they literally carved the cell out of the concrete and moved it around with a forklift.

Transferring him from cell to cell seems like an extra-stupid idea because if he's smart enough to formulate a plan for escape in each cell then all you're doing is giving him an overview of the entire facility.

He's smart enough to formulate a plan from any cell, but transferring him around means he has to formulate and remember plans for each cell, which strains credulity even for comic book super-geniuses. Additionally, transferring him around reduces his window for escape; if he stays in one cell he's got weeks to formulate and execute his escape, but if he's transferred to a new cell every two days, he's got to work faster or accept that he's staying in Arkham. OTOH, frequent transferrals mean he doesn't need to escape the cell, when he can escape the transfer, and he still has weeks to come up with a plan.

o.O Wild. It seems like moving him around so much would give him more opportunities to escape and not removing him from his cell to transport him seems to be counter to their first point of moving him often.

I explained poorly. My issue was that transferring him frequently was going to give him an overview of the entire Arkham facility and thus give him a much more solid blueprint for how to escape any cell unless extreme precautions to disorient and mislead him were taken, which it doesn't sound like there were.

The "kid" was actually the mother of those kids.
She dies, but because she was British and Brian Braddock had moved onto the king of the Outworld, he shows up and gives her the same choice he was given. The Sword or the Stone.
She choses the Sword and becomes the new Captain Britain.
She is later renamed to Lionheart, shows up in Claremounts Excalibre run (where she is being mind controlled. 'Natch.)

And after that was into obscurity.
As for why you never heard of this? This was the Avengers run just before Disassembled so she never got a proper run on Avengers.

And yes, those pages were written by Chuck Austin.

Yeah, but I'd think if you were going to escape you'd do it during a transfer, you know the time when you aren't in a locked room

They should just put him in a regular cell, but have at least two guards sitting right outside it saying stuff like "no, no a five year old could escape from a locked cell; now a really impressive escape would have to be done in the nude on a unicycle while singing showtunes and juggling their socks."
