Link to ongoing panel.

Morrison is teaming with Chris Burnham for Arkham Asylum 2.
He called Arkham Asylum 2 his "jump the shark moment."
It's a 120 page OGN set in the Batman #666 era.

This is a very bad post.

Thanks for not trolling and posting it in game.

It's a sequel (kind of, not really) to his graphic novel he wrote years ago, nothing to do with the games.

It's a comic...

LMAO didn't see it was OT. God damn that gave me a scare.

Batman #666 was a flash forward issue with a grown up Damian Wayne in the role of Batman.

I'm not honestly sold on the idea of Burnhan on it. Doesn't feel right for the project (though I haven't read Nameless).

OGN- original graphic novel

Batman #666 is the one shot where Damien is Batman over a dystopian Gotham. Not sure about further details.

This is a very bad post.

He did a future (alternate world?) issue from Batman 666, Damian was an adult and Batman.

 

[shiftplusone]

What does this mean?

Batman issue 666 was set in the future where Damian is Batman

 

[Einchy]

Eh, this is way less interesting since it's not the same artist, which is why I remember that graphic novel.

Yes.
YES!!!
In Morrison I trust.

Ah okay, thanks guys!

Seems like a strange artistic decision, but I loved Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth, admittedly mostly on account of its gorgeous art, as I quickly discovered in later re-reads. So hopefully this could be good.

Yeah, the art made that book. This won't have the same impact at all if doesn't share the art style.

 

[Rastafarian42]

this sounds dope.

 

[timberger]

Oh dear... Arkham Asylum is one of the shittest Batman books I ever bought. Easily Morrison's worst work at the very least.

Hopefully this is what it sounds like and he's just trading on the name for some buzz about an otherwise unconnected story.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Chris Burnham can do far out trippy art, but when I think of Arkham Asylum, it's McKean's hazy dreamlike smear look.

I'm so happy I couldn't disagree more.

I'm pumped. Arkham Asylum was a masterclass. Morrison's a Legend. A shame that McKean isn't involved, but I'm looking forward to it.

 

[the_firewithin]

Based Morrison!

 

[Obscura]

Off topic but I'm not big into comics and google doesn't help... Is Grant working on another occult comic like The Invisibles, Nameless etc.? Not much into super heroes but his stranger stuff has been life changing.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Same. I don't see this being wildly different from the first AA and Damian is no Bruce. Without the crazy art there's really no pull for me.

Good for Morrison doing something neat though. I'm sure people will enjoy it.

 

[Altazor]

On one hand, it's Morrison writing about Damian as Batman in a crapsack future.

On the other hand, no Dave McKean

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Without the original artist I'm not so sure about this. Morrison's Damian has easily been surpassed but who knows.

Ah okay, thanks guys!

Some parts read a little clunky but his depiction of the Joker is underrated.

Imo, Arkham Asylum is way better than The Killing Joke.

We're also getting a Wonder Woman: Earth One sequel. Yanick Paquette is returning as well.

 

[Wanderer5]

Holy crap, can't wait. Love the original book, through McKean not doing the art for this kind of sucks.:/

Where were you when Grant Morrison saved cape books?

Don't forget how Maxie Zeus was depicted.

The Killing Joke isn't a very good book honestly and even Moore is fairly derisive of it as a fairly hollow story with faintly misogynistic over-tones. It only really stands out for me on account of its fantastic final scene, but otherwise it's an incredibly hollow book.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

A madman who thought he was Zeus?

 

[JTripper]

Chris Burnham's art on the sequel to Arkham Asylum could not be more of a stylistic opposite.

Spoiler

I'm in.

 

[Prince of Space]

No McKean, No Point

 

[SomedayTheFire]

The art was probably the best part of Arkham Asylum though :-/

 

[Alienous]

"I hated the middle two," he joked. "I couldn't beat Mr. Freeze or Deathstroke and I smashed the controller against the wall, knowing I'd never be Batman."

Morrison said the first Arkham Asylum video game was one of the best games he ever played, and also praised Arkham Knight, saying those two games comprised two of the best Batman stories ever.

I guess having no boss battles paid off eventually.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Daiman Batman!

 

[MartyStu]

Fuck.

I rather Morrison work on something with the potential to actually be compelling.

 

[Faiz]

This have me a good chuckle

 

[Falchion]

Sounds awesome! I'd love to read this.

I am always down for Morrison Batman.
Count me in.
