A terrifying psychological horror story.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Arkham Asylum (Hardcover)
This is probably the darkest interpretation of
Batman ever done, even darker than Frank Miller's
The Dark Knight Returns. The artwork is very dark,
and Batman's face is never really shown. The story
goes back and forth between the story of how the
asylum was established and the story of the day that
the inmates took over the asylum, until, toward
the end, the two events become so well blended
that it is virtually impossible to tell them apart.

Three Parts Crazy, One Part Batman Mythos,
By Paige Turner "Paige" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arkham Asylum (Paperback)
In "Arkham Asylum," Grant Morrison tells an extremely dark tale of Batman inside the Asylum with his enemies the Joker, Two-Face, The Mad Hatter and others. Batman battles not physically, but mentally, face to face with his own madness in a painted, tortured story. The storyline is sparse, overwhelmed by lunatic painted scrawlings and imagery. Dave McKean's lush macabre images are cinematic, more "Saw" than "Dark Knight." This book truly pushes Batman past anything we've seen before.
I admire Morrison and McKean for this effort, bordering on the lunatic fringe. It is not an especially entertaining read, nor is it as thought provoking as I expected. At times the creative team tries too hard and they go over the. However, if you don't mind three parts crazy, one part Batman mythos, you won't go wrong with this volume.

Check out the paperback,
This review is from: Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth (Hardcover)
This book is listed on Amazon as "Batman: Arkham Asylum" by Grant Morrison. It is apparently only available (new) in paperback. Read this book; it is brilliant, beautiful, and perfectly mad.
