Check This Out: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Just read "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and...it was cool.

The Plot: 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 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 Takeaway: Overall this was an incredible story. Definitely had some bumps along the way though. I had to push through some of the fonts and dialect - more than once I found myself thinking "so-and-so wouldn't say or react like that!" But if you can push through some of the styling and get past some of the dialect, "Batman: Arkham Asylum" really was a great and significant story.

Check This Out: Batman: The Killing Joke

So I finally just read "Batman: The Killing Joke" and man...IT. DOES. NOT. DISAPPOINT! After all these years it still holds up as one of the most incredible stories out there!

The Plot: "All it takes is just one bad day..." Freed once again from Arkham Asylum, the JOKER sets out to prove all it takes is "one bad day" for any sane person to spiral down the pit of madness...and he's chosen COMMISSIONER GORDON as his "test subject" to prove it!

The Takeaway: This is an incredible story masterfully written by ALAN MOORE and beautifully illustrated by BRIAN BOLLAND. It's an absolute MUST-HAVE for any ALAN MOORE or BATMAN fan out there. The story flashes between the present and the JOKER'S origins...well...at least a VERSION of the JOKER'S origin. Can BATMAN stop the JOKER in time? Or is this the first day of the rest of COMMISSIONER GORDON'S spiral into MADNESS??
