Interesting so far. I look forward to more. I wonder how Xan will fit in with the rogues. Given Anya, and his rather colorful dating history I see him getting along with Ivy and Harley, though that may or may not be a bad thing.
Looking forward to more. And I hope Bole gets what's coming to him.
EDIT: It's also gonna be fun learning why Xan was sent here. Knowing his luck he chopped Etrigan's head off, only for him to turn into Jason Blood lol.

Thanks, and man, I never even thought about the Etrigan/Jason Blood thing, lol. Now I'm tempted to through it in at the end of the reveal chapter as an outtake.
As far as Ivy and Harley go, well I won't go into details yet, but he will run into both at some point.
And Boles, well Xander said it himself, he has to watch out for this guy.

So the mystery is Xander there on purpose or was he caught up in something misconstrued?
Comments from author:
I'll be working up to the reveal for awhile, but you'll get a big tidbit in either the next chapter or the following.

Hmm... I'd be interested to see what Xander has done to end up there.

Review of chapter "Into the Abyss" from JasonBarnett
Review:
Arkham Asylum isn't a prison. The people there are supposed to get better. So that guy's speech is totally inappropriate. And it's hard to figure someone like the Joker wouldn't have killed him during an escape for being such an obnoxious stereotypical "screw"
Comments from author:
From what I've read and seen Arkham is generally portrayed as part asylum and part maximum security prison. Particularly in the two sources that inspired this idea the most: the video game 'Batman: Arkham Asylum' and the mini-series 'Arkham Asylum: Living Hell'. As for Boles' speech, you're right, it is inappropriate either way. It's supposed to be and it won't go unnoticed. You'll find out how that plays into things in the coming chapters. Anyone who recognizes him from the game probably has a pretty good idea of what lies in Frank Boles future. Funny you should mention Joker...
Still, I appreciate your comments even if our opinions differ. Look forward to seeing what you have to say about future chapters.

Review of chapter "Into the Abyss" from LanceAvalon
Review:
So far so good, but I can't really rate this until we get some backstory.
Comments from author:
Understandable. I'm glad you like it so far though.

well this is interestingly dark. I look forward to being horrified and terrified by turns as I follow Xander through his little sojourn into Gothams darkest place
Comments from author:
Thanks, this is heading down a darker path then I generally go in my stories and that's actually turning out to be part of the fun.
