10 Times Batman Acted Like A Horror Movie Villain

This classic graphic novel by Grant Morrison and Dave McKean offers a symbolic deconstruction of Batman's psyche and suggests he may have a hand in creating the villains he helps lock in Arkham Asylum.

This heady, symbolic, and narratively obscure vision of Arkham is not for the faint of heart. There are several moments of graphic horror that would not be out of place in the darkest of horror films.

The plot involves the inmates of Arkham overtaking the mental hospital and, when Batman comes to restore order, he discovers the line that separates him from his nemesis is not as clear as he hoped.

Morrison's reimagining of several of Batman's most iconic villains will thoroughly unsettle Caped Crusader fans, while the inner and outer journey Bats takes through the iconic locale will leave fans questioning if Bruce Wayne's quest for revenge is the work of a madman or not.

Bruce Wayne has never been closer to going over the edge than in this comic, and fans might come away thinking Batman is just as frightening as the villains he hunts.
