Batman

By: Craig Gardner

Narrated by: Roddy McDowell

They don't know who he really is. They never know where he'll show up. But the citizens of Gotham City know they have a protector. With an arsenal of amazing weaponry and a repertoire of incredible acrobatics, he is the legend they call Batman. In a toxic brew of big-city corruption, a bone-white, green-haired, eternally grinning clown is born. His name is The Joker.

Charting the origins of the Dark Knight and early battles between the Caped Crusader and the Clown Prince of Crime, Batman depicts the timeless, violent war between criminal and crimefighter, Batman vs. The Joker.

Roddy's brilliant performance revives a classic!

Roddy's brilliant performance revitalizes the classic Tim Burton film. A joy to listen to clocked at roughly 90 minutes. Fun and efficient. 5/5

never rub another man's rubarb

a well read summary of the classic blockbuster flick a must listen for that batman fan on the go

Good Little Inbetween Book

A good short listen for in between longer books. I enjoyed the fast pace of this one, and how the narrator reminded me of an old noir radio show.

Ever Dance with the Devil in the pale moonlight?

A streamlined mediocre adaptation of Batman 89. The Joker is story’s primary focus and Batman is hardly in this. What saves this story is Roddy McDowall. He is a phenomenal actor and he give it his all. I would recommend this purely for his performance.

Memories of my old public library

I remember fondly days when I'd borrow this audio book from the public library in Evansville Indiana. I used to hang on every word during the performance of Roddy McDowell who was known for his roles in the Planet of the Apes franchise.
