Batman: Arkham Asylum

--- Quote from: fohfoh on December 15, 2009, 08:56:37 PM ---Probably due to the cartoons and the Original Batman movies which were somewhat silly instead of dark... people fail to realize that Batman has a "side story" that's dark as fucking hell. Who here has read the comic "Arkham Asylum"? That comic was a total "holy hell" when it came to understanding the minds of the criminals within Arkham. (Mainly you're chasing the mind of Jane Doe) But it seriously is deep and dark. Great stuff. I was hoping to find more of those comics at my book store... but people snap them up so fast.
Some of that shit is close to mindfuck in the sense of detail. But you read it and go "FUCKING HELL! IT MAKES SENSE!"

Awesome, I didn't know Arkham Asylum was illustrated before being made as a game. Luckily, I was able to find it on a torrent at TPB.
I've really been getting into Batman. I loaned a biography (library) which tells just about his whole story from being made by Bob Kane, and to Robin, there's plenty of stuff left, just haven't gotten there yet. Also, planning on doing a Batman marathon soon. Though only the two recent movies. I don't feel the previous ones were any good. I need to loan Dark Knight though.

If you want to delve deeper, into the relationship between Joker and Batman I also recommend these 2 books.

http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Killing-Joke-Alan-Moore/dp/1401216676/ref=pd_sim_b_1
and since you seem to be interested in Batman in general I recommend this as well.

It shows that the comic is a fair bit darker than the TV show and cartoon have led people to believe.

Well,I could give you a site to get all Batman comics if you want.The movies were all very good,even the one with the nipples.For me,it was the best 'till Nolan and Bale.The Nickholson one was awesome too.But the new ones are awesome.I definetely want to see them continued,even if as just a trilogy.

The game bricked my 60gig PS3 on Monday (YLOD), so I hate it for that. Everything else about it was awesome though. Figures that I was just about done with it also.

I would very much like that. Please PM if you think it's not appropriate to be posted.
