![]() I get the impression the symbolism of the tarot is important but the book didn’t make me interested enough to want to pursue a deeper understanding of it. It’s designed to be dream-like and to read like a song and therefore, as a comic, it’s difficult to follow or really understand. The story is one long rambling mess, which is part of Morrison’s intent. Meanwhile, the troubled life of the asylum’s founder, Amadeus Arkham, is explored. With Joker running free with a knife, Batman goes into the asylum to stop him and enters a nightmarish netherworld. The inmates have overrun the asylum and are holding civilians hostage. But he wasn’t always so brilliant as his first Batman book, the mega-selling Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, shows. Based solely upon his 2006-2013 run, Grant Morrison might be the greatest Batman writer of all time. ![]()
