He agreed to use his talents in robbery and keep coming back to the asylum, imidietly after his job was done. Then Milo provided iron-clad alibi for him, if there was any suspicion about his criminal activity, for fifty-percent of his profits.
However one night, Batman encounters Markham during his robbery of jewelry store. During the fight, Markham’s arm was broken due to unfortunate landing, but he still managed to escape and return to Arkham Asylum, thought not before his oponent managed to identify him.
Later, when Batman infiltrated asylum, he spotted injured Markham in his cell, which confirmed his suspicions about prisoner-escaping racket. Probably due to his injury, Markham didn’t take part in Milo plan, to convince Batman that he is a madman who thinks he is really a caped crusader.
