Accepting their demented challenge, Batman is forced to live and endure the personal hells of the Joker, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Two-Face and many other sworn enemies in order to save the innocents and retake the prison. During his run through this absurd gauntlet, the Dark Knights own sanity is placed in jeopardy. This special anniversary edition trade paperback also reproduces the original script with annotations by Morrison and editor Karen Berger. 1807553 1989 Batman: Arkham Asylum (15th Anniversary Edition) total:1981|5:747|4:678|3:421|2:113|1:22| 1981 7958 2443 177 22374 1401204252 9781401204259 1546 141 4.02 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255668500m/22374.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22374.Batman_Arkham_Asylum 2 3 false Tue Jan 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 26 00:35:17 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 18 19:51:39 -0700 2008
