Arkham Asylum
I thought that the artwork in this comic was really interesting. It seemed to vary heavily from what would be considered a traditional superhero comic. Most of the panels consisted of dark color palettes and not the flashy vibrant colors that I am used to seeing. What really amazed me though was how the artist was able to get such rich textures into the comic. Sometimes Batman is takes up an entire panel and yet does not have defined lines. He almost blends into the background giving the characters this hazy dreamlike feeling. There was this abstract feeling to every panel which I think then supported the theme of the comic.
We get a very unique look at batman in this comic. He comes across as more emotional in this one. versus our typical image of what Batman is supposed to be like. Most of his internal problems are conveyed by the dialogue in which he says. The reader is able to see more of his feelings. The themes in this comic are on the more physiological side which makes sense since he is in a prison that holds all of the crazy people. Also this further supports the dreamlike feeling this comic has.
