The first two entries are truly stellar, making up for an uneven second half. The Joker’s tale skewers the exploitative media conglomerates, while the Penguin is given more depth and empathy than any time previous. Poison Ivy is depicted as an avenging angel for Mother Earth in a second-tier installment. Two Face and Scarecrow also appear.
Grade: A-
Batman: Joker’s Asylum is currently available.
