It is a mad house. It is the home to terror, both supernatural and all too irrational. Arkham Asylum is one of the most recognizable locales in Gotham City, if not the entire DC Universe. This week, as “Shadows of the Bat,” the tale of the new Arkham Tower, begins in Detective Comics, Matt & Will take a look at three stories set around Arkham Asylum and its inmates.
- Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth OGN
- Madmen Across the Water (Showcase ’94 #3-4)
- Living Hell (Arkham Asylum: Living Hell #1-6)
Editor Matt’s Note: Last one with the janky sound! We will soon return you to your regularly scheduled listening

Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of five. It was Who's Who in the DC Universe #2, featuring characters whose names begin with B, which explains so much about his Batman obsession. He writes about comics he loves, and co-hosts the creator interview podcast WMQ&A with Dan Grote.
Will Nevin loves bourbon and AP style and gets paid to teach one of those things. He is on Twitter far too often.
