The Batman: Lazarus Syndrome

A strong story well told with a good voice cast. The only problem is with the voices for the young bruce wayne which is annoying and the joker which could be toned down a bit.

44 mins long with about 10mins explaining the origins for a number of characters.The acting is not really up to Knightfall standard with, unfortunately, Batman being the worst.Weak story with little action and plot holes (neither Alfred nor Dick Grayson spotted an accent change?). I know it's taken from comic books but it's Batman... it's supposed to be serious.It didn't really help that Media Player played the chapters out of order but still pretty poor.

many thanks

A very cool slice of Batman radio with an interest-grabbing story! This play was made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Dark Knight and therefore presents a few flash-backs and character backgrounds interwoven with the story. There is one small plot point that seems unlikely but it's forgivable due to how beautiful the whole play was created. The atmosphere is suitably dark and the character of Commissioner Gordon was particularly well played.At 45mins, it's very short compared to the 3 hour-plus Kightfall (a highly recommended sequel to this) but its just as inventive and clever, giving nods to famous Batman writers such as Denny O'Neil and Frank Miller. Most Bat-fans will really enjoy this more psychological adventure (unlike Dirk Maggs other superhero plays, its low on action but heavy on character) and wouldn't be disappointed that they added this to their collection!
