During New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2025, we learned that DC and Realm would be rolling out more audio drama adaptations for "DC High Volume: Batman." Having initially launched with an adaptation of Batman: Year One, by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, we've seen adaptations of Batman: Ego, Batman: The Gauntlet, and Nightwing: Year One over the past few months. Now, we have the first part of the two-part audio drama adaptation of Alan Moore, Brian Bolland, and John Higgins' 1988 DC Comics one-shot graphic novel, Batman: The Killing Joke.
Freed once again from Arkham Asylum, The Joker (Troy Baker, Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons) is out to prove that anyone can be pushed past their breaking point to madness with just one bad day. And he's going to use Gotham City's top cop, Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his brilliant daughter Barbara to do it. Now Batman must race to stop his archenemy before his reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight's closest friends.
You can check out the first chapter above, with the second chapter set to hit on January 7th. On January 14th, Oracle: Year One (from Batman: Chronicles #5) is set to be released. Picking up from Batman: The Killing Joke, the story sees Barbara Gordon transform into the world-class hacker and information broker known throughout the DC Universe as Oracle.
