“The Freedom of Madness!”

From the chaos of a breakout at Arkham Asylum, Batman swoops down with cape spread wide — a dark, looming presence against a fiery orange sky — as the Joker and a crowd of other inmates riot below, armed and wild-eyed. Kelley Jones' cover art captures the moment with unsettling energy, the Joker's green hair and asylum jumpsuit practically radiating menace as figures claw and lunge in every direction. "The Freedom of Madness!" promises exactly what the cover delivers — Gotham's most dangerous patients unleashed, and the Dark Knight descending to answer the call.
