The weekly serialized 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.[10][9][11][12]

Episodes 5–17 adapt Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's Batman: The Long Halloween, which centers 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.[9][12]
