    "Witness the Dark Knight's descent into the institution for the criminally insane known as Arkham Asylum as he is forced into one of the most dangerous places in Gotham city to stop an uprising led by the Joker himself. This is a deeply disturbing tale not just because of the place but it also forces Batman to dive into his own psychosis."

    "Considered by many as Frank Miller's ultimate masterpiece, and I have to agree with them. From seeing Bruce being forced out of retirement culminating to an epic battle between him and Superman. This was truly an amazing read from start to finish. One of the best Batman graphic novels for sure and one that any fan needs to read."

    "This was a great, somewhat origin story, that only Frank Miller could create. This is a great introduction into Batman's story into becoming the Dark Knight of Gotham City and how his path intertwines with that of James Gordon. One of the best and a must-read for fans and newcomers alike."

    "There have been more compelling and gripping stories than this one but what makes this one special is the incredible art and how the writers managed to include so many of the supporting characters in the Batman lore into just one story."

    "While it was not as powerful a story as something like The Killing Joke, being the first ever meeting between Batman and the Joker makes it an important backstory and sets things up nicely for their future battles and encounters."

    "Apart from the incredible art style being used here, this graphic novel's significance lies in the telling of Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face and how even the noblest of individuals can be corrupted in so many ways."

    "The reasoning behind how Jason Todd (aka the 2nd Robin) was killed off in the comics shows a great example of how fans and readers can shape and influence the lore of their favorite comic book characters."
