Batman Arkham Asylum Graphic Novel

Batman Arkham Asylum Graphic Novel

In 1920, following the death of his insane mother, the brilliant psychiatrist Amadeus Arkham begins the conversion of his ancestral home into a hospital for the treatment of the mentally ill, little suspecting that he has set in motion a nightmarish chain of event and consequence. 

More than half a century later, Arkham asylum for the Criminally insane is a place of dismal corridors and oppressive shadows. A bad dream house. A riddle in stone and timber, best left unsolved. For years, the demented and deformed enemies of Batman have been imprisoned within these claustrophobic walls. In padded cells and unlit cellars, they have brooded and plotted, dreaming of a day when they might rise up and overthrow the world of reason.

That day has come.

It is April 1st and the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Led by the Joker, they issue a terrible challenge to the one man responsible for their imprisonment...The Batman.
