Product Description

Product Description
In this thrilling radio drama, Batman has been crippled by his fiercest foe ever: Bane, a villain of superhuman strength, cunning and evil. '...Dirk Maggs, who wrote and produced, threw everything into the pot and stirred vigorously. The result was richly textured, highly flavoursome, original and wonderfully energetic ...' "Daily Telegraph." Gotham City is reeling from the shocking news that Batman is confined to a wheelchair. Who will now protect the innocent from the dangerous inmates of Arkham Asylum, whom Bane has released? A new hero - Azrael - takes up the mantle of the Bat. But Azrael is a more brutal Batman than Bruce Wayne, and far more eager to punish the guilty than to protect the innocent. Will he destroy Gotham City in order to save it? On CD for the first time, this fantastic full-cast adventure stars Bob Sessions, Michael Gough, Peter Marinker and Kerry Shale, and it comes from the renowned producer Dirk Maggs, of "Superman" and The Hitchhiker's "Guide to the Galaxy" radio fame. This stunning audio production was first aired on BBC Radio 1, and its cliffhanging,all-action adventure can now be heard uninterrupted and remastered - complete with dazzling sound effects and specially composed orchestral music. This CD edition also includes a bonus out-takes reel, never heard before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best audiobook ever, 8 April 2009
By Simon J. Lewis (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first heard this on Radio 1 a long time ago and remember being transfixed to the 15 minute episodes each day. I then bought it on tape which I wore out playing it so much. My now 37 and still love it so I bought the CD last year. Its now on my iPod and I often listen to it on long journeys.

Firstly, it is a superb Batman story. One of the best in my opinion. Then it is expertly performed by many voice actors. It is very immersive and dark. My eldest daughter (12) has listened to it and also liked it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Batman: Knightfall (BBC Audio), 13 Mar 2009
By Jay B. (Cornwall, U.K.) - See all my reviews
A cleverly done audio play, Batman: Knightfall is quite thrilling to listen to, perfectly capturing the mood and overall feel of the comic book it's based on. It only fails (if it fails at all) in the character of Batman himself, as it reflects the more lighter-hearted almost Adam West style caped crusader, which is odd given the dark and gothic atmosphere of the rest of the play.

The voice of Batman, performed by Bob Sessions, comes off as a slightly 1950's Saturday Matinee all action hero as opposed to the darker, gravelly tones of say; Kevin Conroy's take on the character in Batman the Animated Series (broadcast on TV around about the same time as this Audio Play) or Christian Bale's current and rather brilliant portral of the Dark Knight. This, though and the fact that it doesn't dig as deep into the soul of the characters as it could have done, never detracts from the fun of the thing. It can not fail to please the ardent Bat-fan or those who just love a good old fashioned hero yarn that has that special 'bite' of cool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the Best after all these Years, 8 Mar 2009
By P. MORLEY "BatFan" (Hastings, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So happy that I bought this. The quality of the audio is perfect. Characters are brilliantly portrayed by a talented cast. Here we have a Batman that speaks clearly but still manages to be the caped crusader that we all know and love ( Mr Bale should take some notes here, especially to save his voice- it cant be good to talk like that at all). Listening to it now brings back some happy memories, of me sitting on my bed with an old cassette radio, and me with a pair of really big head phones on ( sonys, cant seem to find them any where these days, shame) the volume turned up far too loud. Wasnt long after that I started to get into Batman and the DC universe of comics. So you could say that Batman: Knightfall got me into comics in a major way. This is a must for all Batman fans, if you liked the films- and i mean the first few, then u will love it.
