Jeffrey Wright is Batman in Batman: The Audio Adventures. Listen to the first episodes

HBO Max has released the first episode of Batman: The Audio Adventures today.

In partnership with Warner Bros. and DC, this scripted audio original, Gotham City comes to lurid life in the theater of your mind…with a sensational pageant of technicolor villainy unlike any other on Earth. Mafioso Penguins. Thieving Catwomen. Terrorist Riddlers. Killing Jokers…a city where some problems can only be solved by a billionaire in a bat costume.

Starring Jeffrey Wright as Batman, Rosario Dawson as Catwoman, John Leguizamo as the Riddler, and a who’s who of incredible “Saturday Night Live” alums, the series draws inspiration from the vintage noir atmosphere of the celebrated “Batman: The Animated Series,” the spirited fun of the classic 1960s “Batman” TV series, and the entire 80-plus year history of the BATMAN franchise.

Wright is also playing Commissioner Gordon in The Batman movie.

It also stars Seth Meyers as Jack Ryder, John Leguizamo as The Riddler, Fred Armisen, Chris Parnell, Ike Barinholtz, Heidi Gardner, Tim Meadows, Paul Scheer, Brooke Shields, Brent Spiner, Jason Sudeikis, Kenan Thompson, Alan Tudyk, Melissa Villaseñor, and Ray Wise.

This rollicking, over-the-top Batman adventure is written and directed by Emmy®-winner Dennis McNicholas, features an A-List cast, and devilishly delightful original music.
