i was reading this and came across the word "Arkham"
apparently:

the name "Arkham" in Batman does come from H.P. Lovecraft's work.

Batman's Arkham Asylum was created by writer Dennis O'Neil in 1974. He directly borrowed the name from Lovecraft's fictional town of Arkham, which serves as a central setting in many of his Cthulhu Mythos stories. Lovecraft even placed a "Arkham Sanitarium" on its outskirts
