Description

One of the most beautiful, awesome, terrifying, oneiric, representative art of all the entire run of Batman R.I.P. by Grant Morrison!!!
This art is an icon!

This is one of the most beautiful fights between Batman and his ultimate nemesis, the Joker... in this case transfigured as the embodiment of supreme madness, inserted into a context very similar to what David Lynch has created in his TV series "Twin Peaks", through the black lodge, the metaphysical place where human consciousness finds its most negative and dark side.

This is one of the few cases in which, in one art, is contained a whole philosophy of good versus evil.
The red of blood and roses, black of black gloves!

TOTALLY FANTASTIC !!!



Summary:
Back at Arkham the Joker taunts Batman, saying Batman can never truly understand his insanity no matter how hard he tries. The Joker tells Batman that everything can't be broken down into clues and symbols. Jezebel is screaming for Bruce to save her, and Batman breaks the glass window of the room she is in, which is covered in red and black roses which according to Joker are apparently lethal when combined. As Batman reaches the flowers, Jezebel wearing a black dress sits up from her chair smiling, and slips on a pair of black gloves. As a now unmasked Batman begins to break down upon this revelation, the Joker asks Batman, "Now do you get it?"
