Written by David Hine with interior art by Jeremy Haun, picks up after the events of BATTLE FOR THE COWL. After the Black Mask’s destruction of Arkham Asylum, Dr. Jeremiah Arkham has rebuilt the Asylum following the design of his mad uncle Amadeus. Intended as a model for enlightened treatment of mental illness, the building soon mutates into a torture house, and the inmates find themselves trapped in a living hell. And when Jeremiah starts hearing a voice from beyond the grave, it becomes painfully clear that you can’t really get rid of the crazy when it comes to Arkham Asylum.

"Arkham has been decimated at the hands of Ra's Al Ghul, Bane and now Black Mask, I don't see the point in rebuilding a place that's destined to get blown up again. None of these inmates are ever going to be cured of anything. Aside from that, I believe the "Arkham becomes hell on Earth for the inmates" angle was already covered in Alan Grant's Shadow of the Bat."
" Arkham has been decimated at the hands of Ra's Al Ghul, Bane and now Black Mask, I don't see the point in rebuilding a place that's destined to get blown up again.so where should Gotham criminals be kept? Arkham or not it doesn't matter where they are kept. there will eventually be a breakout and someone will eventually destroy it.

I know I sure don't. It's the imagery of it all. It completely reinforced the German expressionistic Gothic and psychological visual theme. It's not about the practicality. It's never been about curing them. I mean, rationally...a man wouldn't dress up like a Bat and jump from rooftop to rooftop in the first place. It's about the symbolism of the Bat titles. Arkham's not all that old compared to how old the franchise has been around, but the Asylum was a hit from the get go...and it's sure a keeper IMO. "

In a way Arkham has become a character itself, twisted and changing. Hopefully this will tap into the darker elements of Arkham, like A Serious House on Serious Earth did. "
" Apparently Arkham is just doomed to insanity, should be an interesting mini if it's anywhere as good as the last arkham mini "Yeah I was real surprised by that one when I read it
