Amadeus Arkham and how he converted his family home into a facility meant to cure the criminally insane. The story is split into two narratives: the main one follows Batman being called to Arkham as Joker and the other villains hold hostages and the other is in the past, detailing the life of Dr. In fact, Arkham Asylum is less of a superhero action adventure which the video game inspired by this story would be and more of a gothic psychological horror as Batman has to confront the question of his sanity and the dark history of Arkham Asylum itself. Arkham Asylum is a much more grounded take on Batman and his world than Morrison’s Batman work would be years later. Anyone familiar with Morrison’s writing knows how out of the box his style is and the high concepts he uses in his stories whether they’re superhero based or something else of his creation.
