Series: Batman Unhinged

Summary

Batman Unhinged is a DC digital-first comic series spun off from the video game Batman: Arkham City, weaving together short stories set before and after the game within the Arkhamverse, written by Derek Fridolfs and others and drawn by artists including Jorge Jiménez. This volume is the 14th of the series and contains three digital chapters, all grouped under "Theatre of Violence": rumors say the Penguin runs an illegal fight club beneath the Iceberg Lounge, and Batman's partner Robin (Tim Drake) sets out alone, going undercover in Cobblepot's establishment to investigate—only for the Boy Wonder to stumble into a heavyweight showdown between Bane and an even more terrifying opponent. The story centers on Robin's first solo mission, showcasing his judgment, fighting skill, and vulnerabilities without Batman at his back, while filling in details of the Penguin gang's expansion and the city's underground violence trade in Arkham City. As the 14th volume of the series, it can be read alongside the game's main storyline to understand the undercurrents among the factions within Arkham City.

Editor's review

对玩过《阿克汉姆之城》的读者来说，这套配套漫画的价值不在主线复述，而在那些游戏里没空交代的边角故事。第14册把镜头交给罗宾，让蒂姆·德雷克独自下到冰山酒廊的地下层，这是整部系列里少见的「少年英雄单打独斗」段落。豪尔赫·希门尼斯的作画动作感强、分镜利落，贝恩登场时的体量压迫感十分到位。篇幅不长，却能在几个回合里交代清楚罗宾的行动逻辑：他为何要瞒着蝙蝠侠行动、他靠什么伪装混进场子、又凭什么在重量级怪物面前撑住。若你正在收集这套按册编号的系列，本书对应的正是「暴力剧场」开局，故事在下一册延续，建议按顺序阅读，不要跳着看。

FAQ

这本第14卷和《阿克汉姆之城》游戏是什么关系？

《Batman Unhinged》是以《蝙蝠侠：阿克汉姆之城》游戏为背景的配套漫画系列，用来补充游戏世界观与角色支线。本册属于其中的「暴力剧场」故事线开场，讲罗宾独自潜入企鹅人地盘，并非游戏主线剧情的复述。

没读过前面几册能直接看第14卷吗？

可以，本册故事基本自成单元，主要角色是罗宾、企鹅人与贝恩。但它位于「暴力剧场」故事线的开端，情节在本册结尾并未收束，需要接着读下一册；若想更熟悉阿克汉姆宇宙的设定，仍建议从系列前几册读起。

这一册的编剧和画师是谁？

据DC官方与漫画数据库信息，本册（Batman: Arkham Unhinged #14）由德里克·弗里多夫斯（Derek Fridolfs）编剧、豪尔赫·希门尼斯（Jorge Jiménez）作画，属「暴力剧场」章节的起始篇，2013年由DC Comics出版。

The library holds forty of his works, with the most common categories including children's books, comics and cartoons, art, film and television, literature, and foreign literature, showing that his writing spans comic storytelling and adaptations for young readers.

Jorge Jiménez Author

Jorge Jiménez is a comics author about whom relatively limited information is publicly available; six of his works are currently on record, spanning children's books, comics and cartoons, fiction, film tie-ins and art. His output draws heavily on established film and superhero properties. On one hand, he has contributed to the Batman line, including Batman #147, Batman: Arkham Unhinged Vol. 16 and Batman Unhinged Vol. 14. On the other, he has written film adaptation comics for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, namely Volumes 1 and 2 and a related Volume 27. His work therefore centres on translating big-screen stories into visual narrative, balancing action sequences with character portrayal for both young readers and adult comics fans. Because public information is limited, his biography, nationality and creative career cannot be confirmed; his profile can only be understood through the subjects and genres of his works.
