DC High Volume: Batman is an American superhero audio drama podcast series based on the DC Comics superhero Batman.[3]

The weekly serialised podcast adapts seminal comics from the Batman canon, Batman: Year One by writer Frank Miller and artist David Mazzucchelli, as well as Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale.[4][3][5][6]

Plot

[edit]

Episodes 1–4 of High Volume adapt Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's Batman: Year One, a story that follows Bruce Wayne's first year as the vigilante Batman and James Gordon's struggles navigating Gotham City as an honourable man working amongst a corrupt police force.[3]

Episodes 5–17 adapt Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's Batman: The Long Halloween, which centres around Batman, Gordon and Harvey Dent's efforts to catch a mysterious killer known as Holiday. The story culminates with Harvey Dent's scarring, both mentally and physically, and his transformation into Two-Face.[3][6]

Episodes 18-30 adapt Loeb and Sale's Batman: Dark Victory, the direct sequel to The Long Halloween. It follows Batman, trying to catch another serial killer 'Hangman' and taking on a child protégé, 'Robin'.[7][8][4][5][9]

Future episodes will adapt Darwyn Cooke's Batman: Ego, Batman: The Gauntlet by Bruce Canwell and Lee Weeks, Nightwing: Year One, Batman: The Killing Joke, and Oracle: Year One.[10]
