I second Pach here. The Batman aspect is pointless, convoluted and overall useless at making the story any good. This is how you could have done it: Zsasz believes that everyone he kills he "liberates". What about the people Hannibal kills and eats? Can they be "liberated"? Zsasa may be on a "mission" to release those pointless souls from this cannibal "zombie" (Zsasz does refer to his victims as zombies). That way, you can put some purpose to their fight. As for the location: Arkham can work. They are both stuck and security is down to to some chaos the Joker is doing (again). Zsasz sees this as his time to "liberate" the people Hannibal has eaten. Meanwhile, Hannibal hasn't had a good cooked Liver in a long time.

Also, to say Lector can catch Batman is highly debatable. Batman is a master escape artist and has a vast array of weapons that Hannibal can't possibly counter.
