Synopsis: El Joker y los demás reclusos del Asilo Arkham han tomado las riendas del psiquiátrico y le han dejado un mensaje a Batman: matarán a todos los empleados a menos que el héroe se adentre en el centro. Así comienza la aventura más perturbadora del Caballero Oscuro, una que pondrá a prueba su cordura... si es que alguna vez la ha tenido. Grant Morrison, responsable de obras tan aplaudidas como Animal Man, Los Invisibles o El Multiverso, escribe esta novela gráfica dibujada por Dave McKean. Publicada originalmente en uno de los momentos de mayor popularidad de Batman, Asilo Arkham sigue siendo hoy en día una de las reflexiones más profundas que se han hecho sobre la razón de ser del personaje. El Universo DC está repleto de lugares perturbadores, pero pocos lo son tanto como el Asilo Arkham para Criminales Dementes. Allí cumplen condena los peores enemigos de Batman, los que sufren enfermedades mentales que les han llevado a cometer todo tipo de fechorías.

English Translation: The Joker and the other inmates of Arkham Asylum have taken over the psychiatric facility and left Batman a message: they will kill all the staff unless the hero enters the facility. So begins the Dark Knight's most disturbing adventure yet, one that will test his sanity... if he ever had any. Grant Morrison, responsible for such acclaimed works as Animal Man, The Invisibles and The Multiverse, writes this graphic novel drawn by Dave McKean. Originally published at the height of Batman's popularity, Arkham Asylum remains today one of the most profound reflections on the character's raison d'être. The DC Universe is full of disturbing places, but few are as disturbing as Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane. Here Batman's worst enemies, those suffering from mental illnesses that have led them to commit all manner of misdeeds, serve their time.
