We promised you more Bat-news on Monday, so here we go. And, yes, it does have something to do with the lovely Frazer Irving cover you see above.

ARKHAM REBORN #1 (of 3), written by David Hine with interior art by Jeremy Haun, picks up after the events of BATTLE FOR THE COWL. After the Black Mask’s destruction of Arkham Asylum, Dr. Jeremiah Arkham has rebuilt the Asylum following the design of his mad uncle Amadeus. Intended as a model for enlightened treatment of mental illness, the building soon mutates into a torture house, and the inmates find themselves trapped in a living hell. And when Jeremiah starts hearing a voice from beyond the grave, it becomes painfully clear that you can’t really get rid of the crazy when it comes to Arkham Asylum.

This new mini, which reunites the creative team behind BATTLE FOR THE COWL: ARKHAM ASYLUM, hits 10/28.

Wow!! Thank God!!! The Arkham Asylum story in B4C was awesome. I like that it alludes to Joker being in it too. I love that man …

Is that also some Two-Face and Scarecrow in there too?

I can’t make out who is on the other half … Ivy? Croc?

That Arkham one-shot had a lot of interesting ideas in it, so I’m glad to see them getting fleshed out in its own mini. A definate Must Buy for me!

Nice, Arkham Asylum was the only part of BtfC that did not suck. So, yappie!

I'll be watching out for this series. I didn't read the BftC, but this looks like a cool concept with a lot of potential. So... maybe.
