History
Arkham Asylum
Main article: Arkham Asylum: Living Hell
Crooked investor Warren White avoided prison time by pleading insanity and was sentenced to Arkham Asylum.[1] There, among other indignities and tortures, White was assaulted and locked in a refrigeration unit by Jane Doe, who was attempting to take over his identity. His injuries, compiled with excessive frost bite, left White deformed. His skin turned a pale white, and the frostbite claimed his nose, lips, hair, and several of his fingers, leaving him very much resembling a great white shark and driven partially mad. He now uses his business connections to serve as a liaison and fence for many of his fellow inmates. While demons infested the asylum, he was able to trick the demons in charge of the part of hell he would surely be sent to when he died, so that they would be too busy torturing each other for eternity leaving him to live in damnation peacefully.
Face the Face
Main article: Batman: Face the Face
Great White has been using his mob connections (as well as the new Tally Man) to kill those associated with The Penguin as well as to frame Harvey Dent for their murders. Great White remains in Arkham, directing these actions from within as an alibi. Batman has since confronted him, and has threatened to tell Two-Face about the frame job, promising to let Two-Face have a shot at Great White when Two-Face is captured and returned to Arkham.[2]
After the Black Glove's failed attempt to destroy Batman, all the inmates from Arkham Asylum were transferred to Blackgate until Arkham was completely decontaminated. On their way back to Arkham, the vehicles that transported the inmates were assaulted by a new Black Mask, who freed the inmates, blew the asylum in front of all of them and forced them to join his army. White was among the inmates who joined Black Mask's group.[3]
