THE AUDIO ADVENTURES — GeekTyrant

Even more Batman content is headed our way with the new HBO Max original scripted podcast Batman: The Audio Adventures. We got a new poster released for the podcast with its cool Batman logo, and it’s been revealed that we are only just over a week away from the full season release.

In the scripted audio original, produced in partnership with Warner Bros. and DC, “Gotham City comes to lurid life in the theater of your mind with a sensational pageant of technicolor villainy unlike any other on Earth. Mafioso Penguins. Thieving Catwomen. Terrorizing Riddlers. Killing Jokers. A city where some problems can only be solved by a billionaire in a bat costume. The series draws inspiration from the vintage noir atmosphere of the celebrated Batman: The Animated Series, the spirited fun of the classic 1960s Batman TV series, and the entire 80-plus year history of Batman.”

Batman: The Audio Adventures will star Jeffrey Wright as Batman, Rosario Dawson as Catwoman, and John Leguizamo as the Riddler. The series is written and directed by Emmy-winning Saturday Night Live alum Dennis McNicholas, with original music by Doug Bossi. The series will also features the voices of Chris Parnell, Melissa Villaseñor, Seth Meyers, Brent Spiner, Ike Barinholtz, Bobby Moynihan, Kenan Thompson, Jason Sudeikis, Alan Tudyk, Heidi Gardner, Brooke Shields, Paul Scheer, Tim Meadows, Fred Armisen, and Ray Wise.

DC also announced that it will be releasing an 80-page, prestige format one-shot comic for Batman: The Audio Adventures, which is expected to be released in October. The comic will feature a prequel story by Dennis McNicholas, Bobby Moynihan, Heidi Gardner, Paul Scheer, and more, with art by Leonardo Romero, Juni Ba, and more. The cover for the issue will be drawn by Dave Johnson.

All ten episodes of Batman: The Audio Adventures will be released on Batman Day, Saturday, September 18th, on HBO Max. Check out the poster below, and let us know if you’ll be tuning in.
