DC has announced a new weekly drama podcast, DC High Volume: Batman, which will adapt stories from across Batman’s history.
Batman fans rejoice! DC and Realm have just announced that the caped crusader is making a new foray to the world of podcasts. No, Bruce Wayne isn’t hosting his own true-crime podcast, it’s not that sort of thing. Rather, the podcast comes in the form of an audio drama, titled DC High Volume: Batman, which chronicles some of the most coveted Batman stories ever created.
The audio drama kicks off on April 2 with a 4-part adaptation of Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s beloved graphic novel Batman: Year One — which takes place in the early days of Batman’s career. It appears that the drama could also adapt The Long Halloween in the future:
DC High Volume: Batman begins with the four-part adaptation of Batman: Year One, by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. After traveling the world for over a decade following the death of his parents, Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City to find crime and corruption running rampant in the place he calls home. Realizing Gotham City needs a hero, Bruce dons the cape and cowl for the first time, becoming the Batman.
If Batman and new allies Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent succeed in removing the criminal heads of Gotham City, who will replace them? A new face of villainy may appear, leading to a Long Halloween full of costumed criminals.
Jason Spisak (Arcane) has the honour of voicing Bruce Wayne/Batman. Other voice actors include: Jay Paulson (Mad Men) as Lt. James Gordon, Reba Buhr (Next Gen) as Catwoman/Seline Kyle, Adam O’Byrne(AMC’s Interview with the Vampire) as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, Mike Starr(Goodfellas, Ed Wood) as Carmine Falcone, Simon Vance (Bring Up the Bodies, Rod: The Autobiography of Rod Stewart) as Alfred Pennyworth, Dan Gill (Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension) as The Joker, Jesse Burch (Fall Out: New Vegas) as The Riddler, Michelle Lukes (Alexander, Strike Back) as Poison Ivy and Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma) as The Penguin.
