52 Part 1

The most famous and powerful superheroes in the DC Comics universe are Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. This audiobook starts when all three of them are incapacitated for one year, each for different reasons. Since the bad guys don't take vacations, other superheroes, like Booster Gold and Batwoman, take up the slack in this full-cast audio drama. The production is heavy on narration, which is ably provided by Richard Rohan. The characters are played by a long list of actors, who perform well. Rounding out the production are sound effects and original music that make the drama feel like a superhero movie. It all sounds great through a pair of earphones.
