Where all compulsions meet. In 1920  following the death of his disturbed mother  brilliant
psychologist Amadeus Arkham began the conversion of his ancestral home into a hospital for the
treatment of the mentally ill. More than half a century later  the 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 1st 
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 and restored by artist Dave McKean  this deluxe edition
collects the fully painted story together with Morrison s complete annotated script and page
layouts as well as a 16-page gallery of preliminary and promotional art by McKean and an
afterword by editor Karen Berger.
