Remember Patrick Bateman? He's back, in comic book form. A new four-issue "American Psycho" comic series will bring the infamous serial killer back, featuring a duel narrative focused on both Bateman and a new character. But perhaps the most interesting detail of all is that publisher Sumerian was permitted to use Christian Bale's likeness to draw Patrick Bateman. It's about as close as we'll get to seeing Bale play the character again — although it won't be the first sequel to the story. Back in 2002, audiences were blessed and/or cursed with "American Psycho 2," featuring Mila Kunis as a college student who goes on a killing spree. It wasn't very good, and we can only hope this comic will be a vast improvement over that film. The comic comes from writer Michael Calero with artwork by Piotr Kowalski and coloring by Brad Simpson.

Sharpen your ax, order new business cards, and crank up some Huey Lewis and the News because the LA-based comic book publisher Sumerian is bringing an American Psycho comic book to shelves. According to Deadline, the four-issue series, publishing later this year, “will have a dual narrative, one showing a different perspective of Bateman’s killing spree (with a notable “twist”) and another revealing a modern-day arc with “surprising connections to the past.” The new arc is a sequel to the 2000 thriller from director Mary Harron.
Sumerian’s American Psycho comic book centers on “an all-new psychopath as social media obsessed millennial, Charlie (Charlene) Carruthers, goes on a downward spiral filled with violence. Drug fueled partying leads to bloodshed as Charlie leaves a trail of bodies on her way to discovering the truth about her dark nature.”
Sumerian acquired derivative rights to American Psycho through producer Pressman Films. The deal...

The latest fan favorite horror movie to make the leap into the world of comic books is Mary Harron’s American Psycho, with Deadline announcing the upcoming official comic this week.
Being published by Sumerian, it sounds like the four-issue comic book series will both adapt the 2000 movie starring Christian Bale and also serve as a sequel to that bloody tale.
Deadline details this afternoon that the series will have “a dual narrative, one showing a different perspective of Patrick Bateman’s killing spree (with a notable “twist”), and another revealing a modern day arc with surprising connections to the past.”
