Hi, i always have wondered, (because i dont read comics at all) if there are Batman comics, etc , that in the case of been adapted, would have to be for Mature people, or a movie Rated R, etc, sorry for my bad english

my option is Joker, from Brian Azarello., and obviosly Arkham Asylum

I think Batman: The Killing Joke was pretty disturbing.

The cult, the last arkham, arkham asylum living hell and there was one else worlds tale in which Bruce Wayne was a doctor running arkham asylum who lived a double life as batman and had been putting Inmates in arkham to treat them which is a pretty disturbing story if you want to see.

Batman the Adam West Show

Emperor Joker has always disturbed me.

some of the stories of batman straight killing people in the 1930's stories

The Batman Vampire trade, which consists of the Elseworlds Batman/Dracula: Red Rain, Batman: Bloodstorm, and Batman: Crimson Mist.

Batman: Venom

Arkham Asylum: Living Hell

Batman: Arkham Asylum

well, i see everything related to Arkham is pretty disturbing,

I think Batman: Prey, Batman: Terror, Batman: Gothic, Batman: Sleeping. all of those are in the LOTDK

This. A lot of the LOTDK stories are darker and some of my favorite Batman stories.

Also, Batman and the Monster Men is pretty dark. I really liked it, anyways.

yes pretty much all of the LOTDK is dark, ive almost all of them.

@iaconpoint For me the only disturbing thing about that was the low quality. Urgh... Happy if you liked it, but too me it was rubbish. R.I.P. was also disturbing and dark, but you have to read Black Glove before it, to get the full effect. Oh, how I loved Black Glove and R.I.P. Batman City Of Crime, also! A great book that is sadly underappreciated and relatively unknown. It was sooooooo good! Very dark and hopeless! If you don't know it yet, you should check it out. Its by David Lapham and it was a very controversial story, but I loved it.

There are several. Among them would be The Killing Joke, most Arkham related things, The Black Mirror (James Gordon Jr. creeps a lot of people out), some of Frank Miller's Batman work, Brian Azzarello's Joker, Batman: Gothic and, really, most Legends of the Dark Knight stories.

Joker is for sure the most disturbing.

Batman: Tenses

Batman: Prey,

Next book I am going to pick up

@Shallbecomeabat: Oh I never said it was a quality story, just the idea of Bruce being torn apart every day for who knows how long to the point he tells Sups to kill Joker then is mentally broken is a dark idea. The actual execution of the story along with the "90' s style "round robin" storytelling was crap.

@JoeEddie after youve read Prey, read Batman: Terror its what happens next ;)

@FatihBATMAN:

Have you read it yet? What are you currently reading?

Yes of course ive read it, or I wouldnt recommend it hehe :) but be sure to read Prey first then Terror its it sequel. Currently im reading Batman: Confidential #22 up to #25

@JoeEddie: @FatihBATMAN: If you buy the new TPB of Prey, it comes with Terror

nice! @batshrine

@batshrine:

Thanks!

Batman the black mirrior . Im 22 years old and i have never been scared by a book until i read that and it was freaking awesome

I just read Batman: The Killing Joke... It was so dark and creepy but really well written...

looking forward to black mirror and killing joke!

@ImTheDamnBatman: "Joker" isn't reaaaally a Batman story, as the Dark Knight only shows up in the last couple pages.

@End_Boss: well thats pure true, even that way, "Joker" is pretty good, dark and violent

@anoldman: Oh yeah, "Joker" was mah-velous. Just don't want anyone going into it expecting Bats to be on every other page.

@End_Boss: thats right,

and can you tell me if that joker was made before or after Ledger´s Joker?

@anoldman: If I'm reading its Wikipedia entry correctly, it went into production slightly before The Dark Knight and released shortly after.

EDIT: To be clear, I think it was informed by Ledger's Joker, rather than the other way around.

batman arkham asylum a serious house on a serious earth only seeing the joker gives me the creeps

@FatihBATMAN: so its like a trilogy or something?

hmm its a sequel..theres no third... @anoldman

Knight Of Vengeance is pretty dark. It'd be cool to see more stories set in that reality.

I just literally just got off on reading Batman: Tenses #1 now onto reading #2 and maaaan its exciting!! highly recommend it for all in this thread if you like dark stuff! damn!

@FatihBATMAN: thanks man c :

read it!!!! :O

bump

I think Long Halloween had some good moments.

Batman:City of Crime is pretty creepy once the fridge horror settles in, so was the deadman crossover and harvest breed

@Crom-Cruach: never heard of it

@anoldman Have you read Batman: Gothic?

Well actually I remember when the original Morrison Arkham HC came out, I was actually freaked out to read it because there was a urban legend saying Croc held bats down while Joker went to "work" on Bats. Of course it was just a myth, but the artwork was truly horrifying.

Yeah the arkham stories are horror-esque

I haven't read anything that deals with the disturbing, dark side of human nature in as powerful a style as Arkham Asylum. It's a genius inspection of the human condition. It talks about how Arkham is a mirror for Batman, but open up the lens a bit and it becomes wildly applicable to our society as a whole. Morrison as his best, really. The art is over done, but it adds instead of distracts.

I hope everyone can see what a phenomenal commentary on identity this is...

That scene there looks alot like the Max Payne videogame scenes hehe!

@DarKnightNoir:

That book really showed how fucked Batman truly is.

3 pages and no Night Cries.
