DC High Volume: Batman
Interviews with Batman Actor Jason Spisak & DC's Mike Pallotta

There's a great sadness you hear in Gordon's voice even early on in year one. And I think you're going to hear more weariness as it goes on and more this man just being beaten down by by gotham city but still persevering empowering through it um so we'll talk to the actors about uh all of that and that's the benefit of also having the same actors playing these characters throughout so

Yeah. I, I worked in a comic book store 20 years ago when I was a senior in high school and I worked, um, Yeah, and it was a great experience, and I would hand people year one. If they came in and they wanted an intro to Batman or they were interested in something, I would give them year one. I'd give them the stories we're adapting here. They're perfect entry points for the character.

I find this era of Batman specifically in the late 80s and into the 90s is such a good sort of โ€“ They're hitting the refresh button on the character post-crisis, obviously. And it started from the ground up, and it had a nice grit to the character and a darkness that I think has been... adapted loosely and kind of taken into movies and TV.

And a lot of what people think of when they think of Batman now is because of these comics. Pre-Year One, pre-80s, it was Adam West and it was bright and colorful. And Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's vision with Year One, along with all the other writers and artists of the 80s into the 90s, they really added to that dark night that we know and love.

And Year One is an interesting story, too, because it's kind of perfect for audio because it really is the story of Jim Gordon just as much, if not more so, than Batman. Yeah. And with the captions or the journals... That you're reading, you're getting into their headspace and you're hearing them. So there is a natural narrator throughout.

You get this dual POV that we, when we were working on the show, we're like, how do we do this shift accurately and where the listener can clearly follow it without it being like, okay, who's talking now? Are they speaking aloud? Is it here, here? Is Bruce talking to someone else on the plane right now? What's happening?
