Will be 120 pages. Art by Chris Burnham. Set on Earth 666.
Curious how Burnham's art will compare to McKean's. I think that he played a large part in what makes the original so fantastic. Arkham Asylum is perhaps my favorite Batman story, so I'm pretty excited for this.

Grant Morrison Announces Second Arkham Asylum Book
Last edited by Pohzee; 07-20-2017 at 04:12 PM.
It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

I don't expect Burnham to look radically different, unless it's via McKean-esque coloring. But his Nameless project with Morrison was pretty trippy, so maybe it'll look more like that. Or not and it will look similar to Incorporated again.

I liked Burnham's work in Batman Incorporated, but it doesn't hold a candle to McKean, IMO. His art took Asylum to a whole new level. Originally Posted by JBatmanFan05

I agree. And that's kinda my point: AA 2 clearly isn't gonna ride on earthshattering unique masterpiece art. Originally Posted by NightwingIvI

This doesn't suck at all. Always nice to see Morrison announce new stories.

I'm excited to see Morrison write adult Damian again.
"Darkseid...always hated music..."
Every post I make, it should be assumed by the reader that the following statement is attached: "It's all subjective. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you, and vice versa, and that's ok. You may have a different opinion on it, but this is mine. That's the wonderful thing about being a comics fan, it's all subjective."

Whoa, just saw that now:
I'm fine with that. Batman #666 was something that I loved more and more, read after read. Kubert I think was the perfectest for it, but I really like Burnham's style with it too.And also a sequel to Arkham Asylum, with Chris Burnham on art, at 120 pages. Morrison compares it to Luc Beson, and says it will be all-encompassing, and set in the world of Batman #666.Last edited by JBatmanFan05; 07-20-2017 at 03:59 PM.

Of all the things I was expecting, an Arkham Asylum sequel with Damian as Batman was not one of them
.
Curious to see what this is like. A part of me can't help but feel like this might be more of a coda for Damian on Morrison's part, or at least that timeline he created in Batman #666.

Well, Morrison never wanted McKean as artist in the first place, and would much rather have had an artist with a more conventional style. Originally Posted by NightwingIvI

Yesssssssss! Great news! I would love for this to turn into a series of ogns by Morrison and Burnham set on Earth 666! I don't care if it takes years between volumes...let's make it so!
And then there were none...
