I read this before but since then I've started and finished playing the XBOX 360 "Batman: Arkham Asylum" which, although not directly related as far as I know, has a bit of overlap, particularly in the area of considering the namesake and grandnephew of the institution and their mental stability. This work, with few diversions, centers around Jeremiah Arkham's apparent attempt to rework the institution into something better, while dealing with his own issues.
Of course, the plot and dialogue is certainly fun. The artwork is good although not particularly interesting (not saying this is good or bad, just so), except for the cover art which is a bit stylized and shows Batman crouching on the Arkham front gate which, in my mind, illustrates his protectiveness of the institution.

Kinda cool to have a batman comic narrated by another character. In many ways it reminded me of Penguin Pain and Prejudice.

Interesting story, and a complex narrative twist. However, I felt the art didn't reflect the story as well as it could have. it seemed to lack a certain diversity of expressions and was overall not great in contributing to the mood of the story.

These Arkham Asylum arcs are fun. Hope there are more of them. As fun as you can get in Batman's world without having Batman present. Focus on the insane villains = good times for all!
