A review by benorolfo
Batman: Arkham Asylum - A Serious House on Serious Earth by Grant Morrison

2.0

The art takes the form of a whirling dream-state that I appreciate greatly. Who doesn't like trippy psychedelic symbolisms, especially in such an edgy character as Batman? That being said, I don't think that the story it was trying to tell achieved the same heights it was visually churning out. The writing was hardly cohesive, which I think was intentional to let its unorthodox graphics carry most of the weight of messaging--but nonetheless it was really hard to enjoy as a "read" overall, it's better to see it as an extensive and experimental soliloquy.
