Spotify and DC are bringing back Batman’s tortured soul, and actor Colman Domingo will voice it in the upcoming project.
“Batman Unburied: Fallen City” will premiere on November 26 exclusively on Spotify and promise to take listeners deeper into the Dark Knight’s history.
The Oscar winner actor, who will voice the role of Batman, is however giving fans some assurance, as he stated in a statement on Tuesday that:
In the second season of Batman Unburied: Fallen City, the superhero promises a revealing look into the mind of a grieving Bruce Wayne. This story, one that explores Bruce losing a friend and an emotional new discovery about his parents’ death, was exciting and challenging. I can’t wait for listeners to experience the twists and turns awaiting them.”
A synopsis for the upcoming Batman Unburied read:
Fallen City indicates that Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent are launching a social program that rattles the Gotham City elites while winning over the city’s newest masked figure, the Oracle of Gotham. But when Harvey goes missing, Batman is forced to descend into the city’s labyrinthine underground, uncovering a horrific conspiracy by a secret society that has ruled Gotham for ages, one that has ties to his parents’ tragic murder. While Two-Face works to puppeteer the strings of law and order, Batman must defend his life and his city before everything he knows and loves turns to rubble.
The Batman Unburied also has a voice cast that includes Gina Rodriguez, Jason Isaacs, Morena Baccarin, André Holland, Cheech Marin, Tahar Rahim, and Alan Ruck.
The podcast is directed by Alex Kemp, written and produced by Saladin Ahmed, and alongside Jess Carson and Meghan Fitzmartin.
David S. Goyer, Keith Levine, Gracie Wheelan, Liz Gateley, and Rachel Wolf will executive produce the podcast.
