Warner Bros, DC and Spotify are continuing their partnership with a new series of DC-themed podcasts featuring Wonder Woman, Joker, Catwoman and more.
Scripted audio dramas based on Wonder Woman and Joker are among the new line of DC-themed podcasts coming to Spotify.
The new superhero podcasts join Batman Unburied, the first DC podcast manager to be produced by The Dark Knight Rises‘s David S. Goyer. DC and Spotify reached a multi-year agreement in 2020 to produce narrative-scripted podcasts featuring DC superheroes and super villains.
Goyer joined DC Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee on Spotify’s Stream On event to discuss what podcasts look like Batman unburied will bring a new dimension to these classic characters and the DC Universe. Some of the characters that will be featured in future Spotify podcasts include Superman, Lois Lane, Wonder Woman, Joker, Catwoman, Katana, The Riddler, Batgirl and Harley Quinn.
“I’ve been lucky enough to have a hand in shaping how the public sees Batman, and now it’s a lot of fun controlling how the public hears Batman,” said Goyer. “With Batman unburied, we’re going to take a deep dive into Batman’s subconscious mind and into his dream state, really playing with the idea of surround sound. Then he teased the idea that Joker was whispering things in the listener’s ear, which he described as ‘nightmarish’.
“We have a lot of other great characters,” added Lee. “We plan to do a Catwoman / Katana podcast, Superman and Lois Lane, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Riddler … there are so many great characters for us to discover. This is a long-term collaboration between Warner Bros, DC and Spotify, and I think the fan base will just respond to this in an exciting way and embrace it as something new and new, complementing all the other ways they are getting into the DC Universe. ”
Batman Unburied will be released on Spotify later this year.
