The Caped Crusader? Nah, more like the Caped
Comedian, star of a new Batman podcast being launched by
HBO Max. No, this isn’t a joke, but a real thing being developed by the WarnerMedia streaming platform, set to star
Jeffrey Wright as the Dark Knight himself.
Wright is trading the signature Commissioner Gordon mustache for a cowl in
Batman: The Audio Adventures, a new HBO Max podcast that offers a “comedic take on the Dark Knight,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. Wright, who is set to make his debut as Commissioner Gordon in Matt Reeves’ 2022 film
The Batman, will lend his voice to play Batman.
Jeffrey Wright Cast As Batman In New HBO Max Podcast Project
The Batman, is set to provide the voice of Batman himself in
Batman: The Audio Adventures, a new podcast from HBO Max. The podcast, which hails from veteran
Saturday Night Live writer Dennis McNicholas, will be a comedic take on the Dark Knight, and will air on HBO Max in multiple parts sometime in 2021.
Batman: The Audio Adventures is presumably not set in the same continuity as
The Batman and its planned, Gotham Police Department-centric, spinoff series for HBO Max. It is also not tied to the planned DC podcasts coming from Spotify as part of their overall deal with WarnerMedia.
