Arkham Asylum 2- Morrison is Back!

Nearly 30 years ago, writer Grant Morrison and artist Dave McKean united for Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, which became one of the seminal Batman stories of the ‘80s. On the first day of Comic-Con International, Morrison dropped by to deliver a bombshell announcement: he is working on Arkham Asylum 2 with Batman Incorporated artist Chris Burnham.

Morrison revealed the project when he joined Dan DiDio and Jim Lee’s "DC Publishers" panel midway through its run time. Morrison told the audience that when he and Mark Millar used to be friends, they would joke about how Arkham Asylum 2 would be the sign that Morrison’s career had jumped the shark. Now, Morrison is embracing the shark jump, and setting the new tale far in the future. The sequel will feature an adult Damian Wayne as Batman, the same alternate future version Morrison first introduced in 2007's Batman #666. He also mentioned that the will be 120 pages in length.

I thought I was done with new Batman comics, which would be fine because there's still more than I could read in my life time, but I'm stoked for this! I love Damian. He's my favorite superhero after Batman and Wolverine, so I'm happy.

Nice.

Disappointed it's a Damian book.

Other than Terry I really dislike the idea of other Batmans.

I was really hoping for a new book on the Batman Damian! this will be great! when does it release?

I am so Hyped for this. Morrison returning to Damian Batman, that's awesome.

>Morrison

>Damian as Batman

Cool. The art of the first one was insane and something out of a nightmare.

Daaaaaammmnnnnn.

So much yes

YES YES YES I CAN DIG IT

SAME ARTIST?!?!

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!

@dragonrampage: Dude :/

Oh. OK.

Whatever, I guess. I expect it to be about on par with TDKIII.

This. I hope he'll return to Bruce's Batman at some point too.

AWESOMENESS

I dont think it will come close to the original but I think it will be chock full of new ideas, interpretations and story. DK3 had absolutely nothing in it and Miller hasn't written anything good in years unlike Morrison.

@orangebat: I don't think so, man. Miller can't write, agreed on that point but

Morrison still has it.

See even Batman prefers Terry

Lol, Damian threw away the mantle in this universe. So from a Beyond perspective Damian is the only traditional Bat character who actually gets respect while the others are treated as losers who gave up.

Just saying that Damian completely bent the rules under which this entire concept was created on and how it operates. That's awesome and immensely satisfying.

@entropy_aegis: So, is Beyond series THE future or just a POSSIBLE future. I don't want Damian as a bad guy. Smh

@eto: I agree. I read in interviews that this is the future. That's something that changed with Rebirth.

Good, I like Damian much more than Terry (Shocking, I know) I read Morrisons first asylum book years ago and remember it being super weird and dreamlike. I wonder if this will take on the same style or will it be more conventional.

Na, just a possible future (like Kingdom Come was) DC would never commit 100% to a future as it would mess up future stories. It's better that way, as we can get different possible futures without DC having to declare them 100% non canon.

@rdclip: ya Agreed. That's what Im thinking as Well! Hahs

I dig it...except for the artist. I really don't like his art.

Ya art is different
