Arkham City: The Order of the World #2 (2022) continues the eerie and cerebral descent into Gotham’s fractured psyche, following the dramatic fallout from the destruction of Arkham Asylum. In this unsettling second chapter of the mini-series, DC Comics delivers a story that blends horror, psychological thriller, and the gothic undertones that have long haunted the darker corners of Gotham City.

Written by Dan Watters (Lucifer, Homesick Pilots), this issue delves deeper into the lives of the asylum’s most enigmatic and dangerous former inmates—now scattered throughout the city, no longer confined by walls, but still imprisoned by their madness. Among them lurks a presence known only as the Ten-Eyed Man, whose disturbing vision and cult-like influence grows in reach and power.

The narrative primarily follows Dr. Jocasta Joy, a psychiatrist struggling to bring humanity and order to chaos. As she attempts to track down the escaped patients, questions arise around the very nature of sanity and evil, and whether Arkham was ever about rehabilitation—or merely control. Arkham City: The Order of the World #2 asks readers to look beyond the cape-and-cowl world of heroes and into the shadows they leave behind.

The hauntingly atmospheric artwork by Dani, with colouring by Dave Stewart, perfectly matches the macabre tone of the series. Each panel is soaked in gloom and unease, with sharp contrasts, unsettling expressions, and evocative architecture that reinforces Gotham as a city teetering on the edge of spiritual decay. It’s a visual journey as much as a psychological one.
