DC and Realm today announced Launch DC High Bolume: Batman, a new scripted, ever-on-on podcast series that adapts some of the Dark Knight’s biggest stories as an audio series. It’s no surprise that the audio series is starting things with Batman’s four-part adaptation.
Although not confirmed, the press release appears to suggest that a long Halloween adaptation is approaching.
DC Large Capacity: Batman starts with a four-part adaptation of Batman. After traveling the world for more than a decade after his parents’ deaths, Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City to discover the crime and corruption he is ramping at the places he calls home. Realizing that Gotham City needs a hero, Bruce wears a cape and cowl for the first time and becomes Batman.
If Batman and new allies Jim Gordon, Li and District Attorney Harvey Dent succeed in dismissing Gotham’s crime chief, who will replace them? A new face of the villain may appear, leading to a long Halloween filled with costumed criminals.
DC High Capacity Cast: Batman features: Jason Spissack (Young Justice, Arkun) as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Jay Paulson (Mad Men, Catch 22), Leva Boule (next generation), Catwoman/Serine Kyle, Adam Ovirne (Vampire Interview) as Carmine Falcone, Simon Vance (Growing the Body, Rod: Autobiography of Rod Stewart), Dungil as Alfred Pennyworth (Panomal Activity: Ghost Dimension: Ghost Dimension), Jesse Birch (Fallout: New Begus), and Rim Penguin.
Jason Spisak is familiar with lending his vocal talent to portray characters from the DC Universe, especially the young justice Kid Flash and Joker of various animation projects. But Spisac is a very unexpected and inspired casting decision, vocalizing Batman himself. Like Troy Baker, Spisac appears to have the clear honour of being one of the few people who have portrayed both Batman and the Joker. Meanwhile, Kevin Smith wears Batman’s love on his sleeve, so it’s very fitting to voice Oswald Cobblepot Cobb, known as the Penguin.
