Product Description:
Gotham’s never been so scorching, the Joker’s never been more despicable, and Batman’s never been in such grave danger.
With more than thirty fires raging out of control across the city, Gotham is indeed a hell on earth. But torching the population is small potatoes for the arsonist extraordinaire known as Enfer. The pyromaniac’s mad masterpiece is Arkham Asylum, blazing like a Roman candle and engineered to provide the perfect escape for Arkham’s most infamous inmate, the Joker. But the dire situation goes from bad to beyond monstrous when the archvillain’s path to freedom leads directly to the Dark Knight’s cave.
The Joker believes in striking while the iron is hot . . . and now it’s never been hotter. After all, the diabolical villain has devised the ultimate joke: launch the mother of all crime waves, masquerading as the Caped Crusader himself! With Gotham erupting in flames and its #1 crime fighter fast becoming its #1 enemy, the burning question is: Who’s going to get the last laugh?

if i had to choose between batman: INferno or Dead white, i'd go with dead white, but that doesnt mean this book wasnt good, id recommend it to any batman fans, it's worth picking up

Batman has problems with two supervillains, one an arsonist that was transformed into a metahuman during some mercenary work, and has a grudge against the GCPD, and also the Joker, who, after the firebug Enfer toasts Arkham, stumbles across ... Read More

Someone is setting fires throughout the city of Gotham and in the midst of all the fires, the Joker escapes from Arkum Asylum. During his escape, the Joker stumbles upon the Batcave and decides to have some fun.
The main thing that I did not like about this book is the fact it's written in the present freaking tense!!!!!!!!!!! The book might have actually been better if it had not been written in the present tense. Why? I didn't much care for the characterization of Doctor Crane, but ... Read More

I purchased this when I did a search under Batman TPBs/ Graphic Novels. I ordered this and it did come immediately. However, it was an actual Paperback Novel. It has no elements of a comic book what so ever. It is definately misrepresented on the Amazon website. It's a FREAKEN BOOK!

A good read and highly recommended over John Shirley's Batman: Dead White.
This Batman book actually feels like it belongs - it has all the elements you expect and as with anything the Joker is involved with - a few sick laughs.
Set in what seems 50% post-Batman Begins and 50% post-The Man Who Laughs(from comics continuity) - it includes Lucious Fox in the same capacity Batman Begins does as well as sets a small familiar origin and first caper from the Joker reservoir incident ... Read More
