Keeping hold of that old observation about perspective might help one navigate the hallucinatory maze that is the heart of Batman: Arkham Asylum, Grant Morrison's harrowing work of power and insight. The narrative plunges us into a nightmarish asylum for the criminally insane that has literally been taken over by the inmates. Morrison makes unique use of the time-tested suggestion that they might be more sane than the rest of us.
The criminals who are holding the asylum staff hostage demand that Batman come in alone. Morrison sets the tone for his -- and our -- descent into darkness with a passage from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll:
An intertwined story unfolds in flashbacks. The asylum's founder, Dr. Arkham, witnesses unspeakable violence and is traumatized by it. There is a suggestion, familiar from countless works of horror fiction, that the horrible events have stamped a kind of psychic imprint on the asylum and left it haunted. The apparent truth is far more discomforting.Posted by ^DANNY 3 TEARS OF BLOOD^ on December 5, 2009 at 9:04pm
