About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Not as Good as I was expecting after reading other reviews. There's hardly any action or much in the way of story. Baddies pop up in one box and are finished in the next.

I haven't bought the book. By I've been getting the issues, I have up to the 5th one so far and I love it have alot of comics mostly batman tho lol

This really delves into the relationships that the members of Arkham have with one another and how disturbed that Wayne really is. I think it's a must read for any Batman fan and the art is out of this world.
