You can only get this when and if you pre-order Batman: Arkham Asylum PS3 version from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Arkham-Asylum-Playstation-3/dp/B001E8VB6O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1249595188&sr=8-1). However I'm not so much focused on the game as I am on the comic book being released.

Exclusive to Amazon.com in the United States, The Road to Arkham is a 16-page comic written by Alan Burnett, illustrated by Carlos D'Anda and produced by DC Comics specifically for the launch of Batman: Arkham Asylum.

The Road to Arkham Story:

Batman has captured his greatest foe, The Joker, and is escorting him to Arkham Asylum, Gotham City's home for the criminally insane. But a series of anonymous tips has put Batman on alert; still, he does not realize that he is speeding toward the darkest journey of his life, one that will test all of his abilities in the chaotic depths of Arkham Island.

Do you guys think the comic is going to be any good?

Alan Burnett is a very respected DCAU writer, so it could be good.

The art doesn't seem to fit

So basically this is going to be Batman throwing the Joker into the Batmobile and their road trip to Arkham.
Dang.
I would've rather seen a comic by Dini (You know, the one who's writing the game's story?) of all the prior events before Joker's capture.
Such as what Joker was doing that got him captured. How easily he was captured- as that seems to be a concern of Batman's in all the trailers for the game.
