Spotify has announced that its upcoming scripted podcast series (a.k.a. audio drama) Batman Unburied is set to premiere worldwide this May.
Created by David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight Trilogy, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) and featuring Winston Duke (Black Panther) as Bruce Wayne/Batman, the series is described as a “psychological thriller” that will see Bruce as “a forensic pathologist, working in the bowels of Gotham Hospital and tasked with examining the victims of The Harvester, a gruesome serial killer preying on Gotham’s citizens. Not only will the Super-Hero be forced to face his own mental demons, but he will also have to overcome them in order to save the citizens of Gotham as his alter-ego Batman.”
