This was more of an audio play than an audiobook. Recapped some classic Robin stories and the Joker is voiced by Mark Hamill.

Can't understand the poor rating. I'm a huge Batman and superhero fan, like any normal person with a brain. Anywho, this was extremely entertaining. This is a must for any fan of comics, Batman, Superman, DC, marvel, etc.... Mark absolutely nails it, as Joker, as usual. Very good stuff👌

This was an audio dramatization of the Robin (Batman) story from Batman: A Death in the Family, Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying, Robin: A Hero Reborn, and Robin: Tragedy and Triumph that essentially told the story of how the Robin mantle passed from Jason Todd to Tim Drake found in the comic books from the late 1980s to the very early 1990s. I used to listen to this cassette tape when I was young over and over on long car rides, and nostalgia for that story and wanting to know what happened to the characters was what brought me back into reading DC comics around 15 years later. I have no clue where my brother's copy ended up and would love to find it redone on CD. The story was well-rounded to basically started with the initial foe at the beginning being defeated in a bit of a 'David and Goliath' by the new young hero by himself. The presentation was well-done and immersed one into the story.

Fun storylines and just what you'd expect from another Batman lineup.

Older. Weak but not bad. It was OK.
