New DC Podcast Series Announced Titled BATMAN UNBURIED - Here's The Trailer and Details

There’s a new DC podcast series coming to Spotify titled Batman Unburied. This podcast is a thriller that will dive into the dark recesses of Bruce Wayne’s psyche, and it’s going to feature several classic Batman villains.

In the series, “Bruce Wayne works as a forensic pathologist in Gotham Hospital, where he’s tasked with examining the victims of The Harvester, a cannibalistic serial killer. As the story unfolds, Wayne must overcome his own mental demons and assume his identity as Batman in order to save Gotham’s citizens.”

I really like this concept, as it offers a very different approach to Bruce Wayne and Batman as he works as a forensic pathologist in Gotham Hospital. That’s an interesting story and it was created by executive producer David S. Goyer, who previously worked on Batman Begins and was also a writer for the two other films in The Dark Knight trilogy.

Batman Unburied stars Winston Duke as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Hasan Minhaj as The Riddler, Sam Witwer as The Harvester, and Gina Rodriguez as Barbara Gordon, daughter of former police commissioner Jim Gordon and star detective for Gotham PD. The cast also includes Lance Reddick as Thomas Wayne, Toks Olagundoye as Martha Wayne, Jason Isaacs as loyal butler Alfred, John Rhys-Davies as Dr. Hunter, and Ashly Burch as Vicki Vale.

Dawn Ostroff, chief content and advertising business officer, said in a statement: “With the global launch of Batman Unburied, we are excited to bring the iconic franchise and the legacy of Batman to our hundreds of millions of listeners around the world.”

Peter Girardi, EVP of alternative programming for Warner Bros. Animation, added, “David Goyer, this amazing cast and the entire Batman Unburied team have created a Batman experience that stretches the narrative podcast medium to new levels along with your expectations on how immersive and compelling a Batman story can be. I could not have asked for a better way to kick off our creative partnership with Spotify.”

The series is directed by Alex Kemp and written by Eric Carrasco (Supergirl), Saladin Ahmed, Rebecca Klingel (The Haunting of Hill House) and Graham Westerson.
