Plot
Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is a place of dismal corridors and oppressive shadows—a dark riddle in stone and timber, best left unsolved. Within its claustrophobic walls, the demented and deformed enemies of the Batman brood in padded cells and unlit cellars, dreaming of a day when they might rise up and overthrow the world of reason. That day has finally come.
It is April 1, and the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Led by The Joker, Arkham’s inmates issue a terrible ultimatum to the man responsible for their imprisonment. The Batman must descend into this heart of darkness, confront his greatest foes, and face the truth of his own divided identity—or condemn himself to share their fate.
Written by legendary comics creator Grant Morrison and beautifully illustrated by artist Dave McKean, the timeless, genre-bending tale Batman: Arkham Asylum is brought back to its classic beauty in this deluxe hardcover edition, now with updated artwork lovingly restored by the artist himself!

Increïble esta historia. La había leído antes, pero creo que leída en el inglés original mejora aún más.

Un imprescindible si eres fan del murciélago, se lee de tirón y es muy disfrutable, un comic que ha sabido envejecer bien, totalmente recomendado.

Es una curiosidad. Una obra para el lucimiento del dibujante. Se recrea en ofrecer una atmósfera de locura y terror, pero sólo la convierte en pretenciosa y desordenada. La narrativa de McKean se aleja de la estructura de guión de Morrison. Parecen dos obras diferentes. No se consolida como obra de terror, aún mostrando un inicio totalmente siniestro. Como obra de acción/aventuras fracasa (qué pinta Batman y más concretamente ése Batman, aquí), como estudio psicológico pasa de puntillas. Un desenlace tosco y una obra que se quedará sin relectura.
