It would be nice if they do more of these. Good to have when driving a long distance.
Yāknow, Rosario has been one of my dream fancasts for Catwoman ever since I saw her as Gail in Sin City, so thatās pretty cool!
Looking forward to seeāer, hearing this one!
Is this in addition to the Batman podcast coming to Spotify or replacing it?
In addition ā The Audio Adventures seems to be more an action/comedy starring Jeffrey Wright as Batman, while the Spotify podcast seems to be more of a gritty thriller staring Winston Duke as Batman.
Seems sick. The only thing Iām iffy on is actually using as HBO Max to stream a podcast. Never done that before and based on the current UI of the site, I doubt itāll be very user-friendly or intuitive. Hope Iām wrong though because Iām excited to give this a listen.
I think most of the HBO Max podcasts end up on YouTube anyway, so even if the UI on the app sucks, you got a more reliable option there.
True, Iād prefer it on Spotify because YouTube is also not the most convenient for driving and stuff, but Iāll take what I can get I guess.
listened to the first episode it was awesome! canāt wait to check out the rest of it
Also that is a awesome radio I hope DC will sell one
Glad youāre enjoying it!
That radio does look pretty sweet, doesnāt it haha
Itās out today! Ten episodes averaging ~39 mins each. Iām listening now, and am entertained.
Iām gonna try to save most of them for my actual errands and walking on trails and stuff during my weekend that I use podcasts for. These days itās hard for me to devote time to sit down and watch/read stuff but I can listen while traveling or doing things.
Thank you
I donāt know what it is about comedy troupes and super-hero adaptations. Seems like if youāre casting for comic book voices, the last people youād choose would be comedians, but this podcast is not the first time.
- Bill Murray of the early SNL seasons started it by playing Johnny Storm in a Fantastic Four radio series
- A slew of SCTV cast members voiced various characters in the 1981 Heavy Metal movie.
- They did a Superman 50th anniversary tribute show on TV, and chose the SNL cast to handle that (cranking it out the same week they did a regular SNL episode)
- Now we have a lot of current or former SNL cast doing Batman, the Audio Adventures
In none of these cases, would anyone in their right mind go āHey, you know who would be perfect for this project?..ā Iām not saying the casting works or doesnāt work, just that I find it a puzzling trend
Iām not finished with this series yet but Iāve really enjoyed it through seven episodes. Jason Sudekis as the exasperated mayor of Gotham City is fantastic, Jeffrey Wright as Batman works thanks to his smooth pipes, Chris Parnell as the narrator is great and the jingles, recurring bits, easter eggs and more than are peppered through each episode make it so fun to listen to.
Melissa Villasenor is not working for me as Robin. Not at all. Sheās distractingly bad to me but the rest - the rest I am here for in a big way. Hope this gets a second season or that we see Audio Adventures for The Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman, Aquaman, Green Lantern or any of a number of other DC characters.
Reading this now - a prequel to āBatman: The Audio Adventuresā show itself and loving it. Having listened to most of the episodes itās impossible not to hear those versions of the characters voices in my head as I read it, including the cadence and pauses. So good and itās a full 80 pages, not one advertisement in the book!
another season?
thats so frickin exciting
i listened to the first season religiously and the voice acting is so good.
