The inmates of Arkham Asylum have taken over Gotham's detention center for the criminally insane on April Fool's Day, demanding Batman in exchange for their hostages. Accepting their demented challenge, Batman is forced to endure the personal hells of the Joker, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Two-Face and many other sworn enemies in order to save the innocents and retake the prison. During his run through this absurd gauntlet, the Dark Knight's must face down both his most dangerous foes and his inner demons.This is the critically acclaimed Batman story that helped launch the U.S. careers of Grant Morrison and Dave McKean. The classic confrontation between the Dark Knight and his archnemeses, this story is well known for its psychological intensity and probing portraits of Batman and the Joker.ARKHAM ASYLUM includes groundbreaking art that influenced scores of artists by introducing a new school of storytelling and technique to comics. This special edition also includes Morrison's complete original script, annotated by Morrison and editor Karen Berger, many of his original thumbnail breakdowns, step-by-step samples of how the story and art came together and much more.

THIS guy.....I don't scare easy but this level in Arkham Asylum scared the hell out of me! Even looking at the #scarecrow freaks me out still. #traumatizedbyavideogame

Auf Anraten meines Sohnes las ich dieses Buch. Schön düster so wie man es von Batman gewohnt ist... Und plötzlich sind die Bösen die Guten und Umgekehrt

Tea instead of coffee can only mean one thing... I‘m down for the count and need all the distraction I can get. Starting the day with one of my favorite Batman stories.

I'm on vacation! Just having a few days on the coast in a cute beach front apartment 🌴☀
Wally is having a nap before we head back to Movie World for Fright Night so I'm getting stuck into this bad boy 👌

#FunFridayPhoto - A Serious House on Serious Earth. Grant Morrison's script couldn't be more terrifying drawn by anyone but the amazing Dave McKean, but the most unsettling moment happens right here, off panel...

I don't know if this would be classified as "literature" but it is most definitely a classic. @LibrarianRyan #octbookchallenge #Day13 #GamingintheLitWorld

Potentially the most literary graphic novel I've ever read. Fascinating inside and out and endlessly creepy.
