First Impressions

Wonderful stories, excellent production, superb acting!

I'm severely visually impaired, so the stories of comics have always been out of my reach. This series, as well as DC's new All Star Superman, and The Sandman audio dramas, have opened up a whole new world of wonderful stories to me, and the blind/visually impaired community. I am overjoyed that DC has begun to bring their stories to life for people who can't experience them traditionally!
And if I may make a few suggestions for more stories to adapt after Dark Victory, that take place (mostly) in the same continuity:
Catwoman: When In Rome, The Man Who Laughs, Batman: Ego, White Knight, The Killing Joke, whatever the Court Of Owls one is called :), And of course, The Dark Knight Returns!
There are of course, a few series that take place between - and set-up / follow-on from - these stories, but even if only those mentioned could be adapted, I'd be elated :D

Also, this is a great opportunity to create a fully unabridged adaptation of the Watchmen graphic novel!

Also also, for the love of Krypto, please finish The Sandman Acts IV and V, I'm dying to see how that story finishes!!!
i'll even re-record Gaiman's lines myself if I have to!

The future of accessible comics!
