DC (Spotify podcasts)

Since 2022, Spotify has produced a series of scripted podcasts based on the characters and worlds of DC Comics.[1]

Production

In June 2020, it was announced that Spotify had signed a deal with DC and Warner Bros. to produce scripted podcasts set in the DC Universe.[2][3]

In September, the first podcast was revealed to be David S. Goyer's Batman Unburied, which released in 2022.[4][5] The podcast, which stars Winston Duke as the titular Batman, peaked as the No. 1 podcast on Spotify in the U.S.[6] The second podcast, Harley Quinn and The Joker: Sound Mind, was released in early 2023, starring Christina Ricci as Harley Quinn and Billy Magnussen as The Joker.[7][8]

A season two of Batman Unburied, later titled Batman Unburied: Fallen City, was announced in 2022.[9] The podcast was released in 2024, with Colman Domingo taking over as the voice of Batman.[10][11] In 2023, a spinoff of the show titled The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark was released. The show focuses on the villain The Riddler, with Hasan Minhaj reprising his role from Batman Unburied.[12][13]

Future installments are intended to focus on such characters as Superman, Lois Lane, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Katana, and Batgirl.[14][15]
