DC's BATMAN: THE AUDIO ADVENTURES Season 2 Gets a Trailer, Story Details, and Premiere Date
HBO Max has released a trailer for DC’s Batman: The Audio Adventures Season 2 with actor Jeffrey Wright once again back in the role of Batman. When talking about this audio series, Wright said:
“It’s edgy, but has comic elements too — it’s very noir and old-school in some ways. What drew me to this, what distinguishes it, is that it’s a radio show. I’m giving a wink to the old radio shows… I love the strangeness and the melodrama you can bring to it. We lean on that … It’s a fairly dense series. There’s a lot in there,”
In Season 2 of Batman: The Audio Adventures, Gotham City’s cauldron of crime and corruption is about to boil over. While The Joker remains at large, criminal kingpins and former rivals The Penguin and Two-Face have joined forces – and the mysterious narco-terrorist known as Scarecrow remains unidentified, even as his chemical nightmares plague the city. The schism between Batman and Catwoman grows ever larger as both escalate their separate wars on crime, threatening dire consequences for both. And Harleen Quinzel (aka Harley Quinn) is living for a love that’s slowly killing her, just waiting for inspiration to strike.
The series was created by Dennis McNicholas (Saturday Night Live) and the ensemble cast includes Ike Barinholtz as Two-Face; Rosario Dawson as Catwoman; Gillian Jacobs as Harley Quinn; Bobby Moynihan as The Penguin and Bat-Mite; John Leguizamo as The Riddler; Seth Meyers as Jack Ryder; Brooke Shields as Vicki Vale; Brent Spiner as The Joker; Kenan Thompson as Commissioner Gordon; Alan Tudyk as Alfred; Melissa Villaseñor as Robin; Bradley Whitford as Scarecrow; and Chris Parnell as the narrator.
Batman: The Audio Adventures Season 2 will consist of 10 episodes and it’s set to premiere in its entirety exclusively on HBO Max on Friday, October 7th.
In addition to the podcast series, there’s a new Batman: The Audio Adventures seven-issue comic-book miniseries coming out this fall. Written by McNicholas, the comics feature art by Anthony Marques and J. Bone, with cover by Dave Johnson and two variant covers: one by Michael Allred, a second by Marques and J. Bone. Issue No. 1 will be released on September 27th.
In the new miniseries, “a string of attacks has plagued Gotham’s seedy underbelly, sending criminals into a panic. But it’s not Batman who is striking at the heart of the city — it’s a group of mysterious assailants on the hunt for an ancient artifact. As Batman hunts down the assassins, he finds clues that keep drawing him to their true goal: the sword of King Scimitar.”
