Spotify, Warner Bros., and DC have revealed that acclaimed film and television writer, producer and director David S. Goyer (Batman Begins) will return to Gotham City with the new audio drama Batman Unburied.
Goyer has written the story for the series and is the executive producer of the project. The series is the first project from the companies’ multi-year agreement to produce and distribute an original slate of narrative scripted podcasts. Spotify will be the exclusive platform for the series.
Specific details are being kept under wraps, but the series will explore the darker aspects of Bruce Wayne’s psychology.
“I’ve been a fan of narrative podcasts for some time and was looking for the right story — returning to Batman seems like the perfect opportunity,” says Goyer, “We’ll be using the unique advantages of audio to dig into the more nightmarish members of the Dark Knight’s Rogues Gallery,” he added.
Dawn Ostroff, Chief Content and Advertising Business Officer, Spotify commented: “David Goyer is an exceptional talent and we can think of no better leader to leverage the infinite possibilities of podcasting to bring the nearly 300 million Spotify users around the world a Batman saga for the ages.”
The series is expected to debut on Spotify in 2021. If you’d like to experience DC on Spotify click here.
