This one was interesting. I mostly liked it. I thought it was a work of art. It wasn't exactly a Batman comic, but it sure was something. I think that if you go into this thinking that the asylum is just full of Scarecrow's Fear Toxin, everything makes sense and it's great. I loved that we don't ever really get to see Batman; he's always a silhouette or an extreme closeup. He's nebulous and ethereal, which fits for the dreamlike quality of this story.
