52 Part 2

This wonderfully rich and layered recording is a sheer delight to be enjoyed over and over by comic book fans and other listeners searching for an escape. A sprawling cast of 25 actors, each as wonderful as the last, is guided by director Dan Smith, who captures a theatrical atmosphere replete with stunning sound effects that are wisely underplayed, an upbeat score that creates tension from the get-go, and a deep-voiced narrator who guides listeners through this adventure—which calls itself “a movie in your mind.” As if that weren’t enough, the story itself features some of the most original and engaging superheroes coming together in this tale—Superman, Batman, Catwoman, Wonder Woman, the list goes on and on.
