Spotify doesn’t exaggerate this time when it classifies its audio fiction podcast - Batman Unburied - a mega-hit. It was. Now, they’re trying to capitalize on that success.
Spotify, in partnership with Warner Bros. and DC, has announced The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark will premiere on Tuesday, October 10 with all eight episodes available exclusively on Spotify.
The series will follow an unexpected adventure from the perspective of one of the most cunning DC Super-Villains in Gotham City, Edward Nygma voiced by Hasan Minhaj (The King’s Jester, Homecoming King, The Daily Show). Minhaj leads the cast, reprising his role from last year’s global sensation, Batman Unburied.
You can check out a special video message from Hasan here.
Colman Domingo (Fear The Walking Dead, Euphoria) joins the cast as Batman, who begrudgingly teams up with Minhaj’s Riddler to track down a masked vigilante on the loose in Gotham City. The mysterious character is murdering notorious DC Super-Villains all over Gotham City, and all clues point to the suspect being the Caped Crusader himself. Now, with a target on his head, The Riddler is forced to break out of Arkham Asylum and team up with Batman. The unlikely duo must solve the mystery before they too, become victims.
This Fall, listeners will hear from new and familiar voices joining the adventure.
