Illustrator Jeff Victor cleverly imagines what Arkham Assylum residents would look like as sharks. And wouldn't that just be an especially scary universe, with all of Batman's crazy enemies with rows and rows of teeth. Over the years, there have been so many reinventions of the classic Batman tale. We seemed to be excited for the improvements in the Bat accessories and outfits, but what about the bad guys?
'Sharkham Asylum' reinvents all your favorites baddies -- the Joker, Catwoman and the Penguin as fishfeeding, blood-thirsty underwater terrors.
Somehow, I think this should be made into a movie. This epic mash-up of The Dark Knight meets Jaws and Finding Nemo belongs on the big screen.
