"Arkham After Midnight 2: Riddle Me Deadly" -- "The Bat-Man" gassed at infamous Arkham Asylum! Drugged! Disoriented! A blurred reality. Now as "mad" as all at Arkham due to queer & curious chemicals of "Scare-Crow." Stuck in a musty old madhouse - meeting his most awful adversaries! Faces stained with suspicions... the deranged royalty of crime and its unsettling clown prince!
A new/old 1920s silent serial using many of Bob Kane, Bill Finger, and Jerry Robinson's original influences smothered in a sickly sweet German Expressionist sauce with extra shadows on the side. Tune in next weekend for the shattering conclusion! Written & edited by Andre Perkowski. Music by Kristin Palker and Andre Perkowski.
