HBO Max has announced that the upcoming podcast series Batman: The Audio Adventures will debut on that streaming service on September 18–also known as Batman Day.
The 10-episode series features a voice that includes Jeffrey Wright as Batman, Rosario Dawson as Catwoman, and John Leguizamo as The Riddler. Jason Sudeikis will also make an appearance, though the release announcing the podcast doesn’t specify what role.
“Gotham City comes to lurid life in the theater of your mind with a sensational pageant of technicolor villainy unlike any other on Earth,” reads the synopsis. “Mafioso Penguins. Thieving Catwomen. Terrorizing Riddlers. Killing Jokers. A city where a billionaire in a bat costume can only solve some problems.”
HBO has been increasing its audio output over the past couple of years. Other releases have included companion shows to Chernobyl and Lovecraft Country, an upcoming Band of Brothers series, and a spin-off from the acclaimed comedy-drama Insecure. The podcast is riding a huge wave currently, and it appears HBO and Warner Bros are along for the ride as well.
