A warped variation of the Joker drug has caused those who use it to embrace anarchy and chaos. With riots cropping up throughout Gotham, the citizens are divided into two gangs: one led by a Batman imposter trying to bring law and order back to the streets, the other by a Joker imposter out to punish the innocent and set Gotham ablaze.

Delving into the more supernatural and esoteric areas of Gotham City, the six-part storyline explores the horrific murder of one of Bruce Wayne's childhood friends ... and the terrible ramifications the brutal crime has on Batman's life.

The theme of fear was clear from the opening. Having Batman's rogues escape without a good plot explanation was cyclical, but luckily there wasn't too much focus on it, instead on the new empowering formula they were taking. Some issues: the new villain White Bunny a) could've been explored with more depth considering the whole descent into madness thing and b) definitely should have had more clothes on. The other villains all seemed to be reading Bruce's monologue as well because they started talking about fear for no real reason. Also, Batman took a LOT of hits and I was left at times scratching my head at his superhuman nature. Everything else was good though, with some typical fights and clean simple art.

"Following Black Mask's destruction of Arkham Asylum, Dr. Jeremiah Arkham has rebuilt the Asylum following the design of his mad Uncle Amadeus. But will the new Arkham be a haven for the criminally insane -- or a house of torture?" -- from publisher's web site.
