Some of the most popular videos on my youtube channel are the audiobook adaptations of Batman Returns and Batman Forever. Both are three hours long and read by supporting actors from the films. They are really worth a listen because they pull little extra details from the novelisations that flesh out the stories.
Unfortunately for the more kid friendly Batman & Robin they chose to do this - a short 35 minute audio drama. It's more like listening to a movie than having a book read to you - with only minimal narration. Anyway, it's still interesting to hear the 2 hour plus movie be condensed to a quarter of it's length.
The cast is as follows:
Don Leslie as Batman
Jim Soriero as Robin
Todd Cummings as Mr Freeze
Deborah Stoll as Poison Ivy
Peter Waldren as Alred
Jay Gregory as Batgirl/Narrator
How lucky this audio book is.
ReplyDeleteThat Batman movie was okay. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a good Mr. Freeze. Schumacher would've cast Julia Roberts as Poison Ivy, which would have been better. Alicia Silverstone is a good Batgirl.
