review of Batman: Arkham Asylum (15th Anniversary Edition):
"I went into this story completely blind. No idea what I was getting myself into. What I was expecting was a Batman story...WOW. Bad idea if you haven't read this, folks. This isn't a Batman story. It's a psychological mind-frack with Batman character...more " | |

"Kind of complicated in the beginning, because of multiple characters and POVs, but it gets more interesting towards the end as everything comes together. Also, it definitely felt outdated even though its in the future.
