DC High Volume: Batman is an American superhero podcast series based on the DC Comics superhero Batman,[9] which debuted in April 2025.

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]

Plot

[edit]

Episodes 1–4 adapt Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's Batman: Year One, following Bruce Wayne's first year as the vigilante Batman and James Gordon's struggles navigating Gotham City as an honorable man working amongst a corrupt police force.[9]

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]

Episodes 18-30 adapt Loeb and Sale's Batman: Dark Victory, the direct sequel to The Long Halloween. It follows Batman as he pursues another serial killer "Hangman" and takes on a child protégé, 'Robin'.[13][14][10][11][15]

Subsequent episodes adapted Darwyn Cooke's Batman: Ego, Batman: The Gauntlet by Bruce Canwell and Lee Weeks, Nightwing: Year One, and Batman: The Killing Joke. A future adaptation has also been announced for Oracle: Year One.[16]
