#Arkham Asylum A Serious House on Serious Earth

[ghostybat]

I love gothic batman. I want more gothic batman in both stories and art. The man is a gothic Icon. It's one of the reasons I got into Batman, I was like "this man is for the goths and emos" it's why Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth is one of my favorite batman stories.

Re-reading “Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth” and realizing the woman haunting the narrative isn’t Constance and Harriet, it’s Elizabeth Arkham.

Elizabeth the progenitor of the Arkham family, her husband is never seen or named. She is the wife locked in the attic. Elizabeth who is behind everything Amadeus does, consciously or unconsciously. He devotes his life to psychiatry because of her. Her murder is his Original Sin and by her death he receives his inheritance. He turns their family home into a prison and a tomb, all in her name. It is her wedding dress Amadeus wears. He shares her hallucinations of the bat demon as he shares her fate. The progenitor of the Asylum dies as the wife locked in the attic.

It is the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane. This has always been her house.

I started doodling again. Maybe some "real" art will follow. I am, I think, more ok than I was. I am on my way there at least. May this B-man bring someone joy. I know I felt nice making it :)

ID: A black sketch of a simple comic-style Batman. He's hanging down and curving so that he can look at you better. There is a sketchy bubble next to him saying "Are you ok?" In a top corner there's an arrow pointing to the end of his cape with the text "just hanging (out) somewhere". End ID
