The new Batman podcast series, “The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark,” from Spotify is a great addition for fans of the dark knight. The comedian-actor Hasan Minhaj stars as The Riddler and offers a unique twist on the popular Batman character. This series is perfect for fans who love to hear comedy and suspense together.
“The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark” is an upcoming series that will see Minhaj reprise his role as the super-villain. The series has been sponsored by Spotify and DC and Warner Bros, and will premiere later this year. Batman/Bruce Wayne will also appear in the new podcast series along with Barbara Gordon and Alfred.
The Riddler and Batman must put their differences aside to take down a new supervillain terrorizing Gotham City together. However, this isn’t going to be an easy task, as the two have different ideologies for how crime should be solved.
Interestingly enough, Minhaj has said that the story he is telling will focus largely on The Riddler. This is interesting given that other characters have been featured prominently in his previous projects, but nonetheless leaves plenty of room for speculation as to what direction this story might go in. With only a release date and brief description released, it’s hard to say just how involved Minhaj will be with the production himself, but fans of Gotham City certainly won’t want to miss out on what he has in store!
In May 2022, Batman Unburied was the No. 1 podcast on Spotify globally. It had climbed to the top of the charts after debuting on the audio streaming service in May and drawing in listeners due to its entertaining and informative content.
