DC Batman: The Audio Adventures

I love Batman and I adore this rendition so much! It's Batman dark without loosing its cartoonish neon glow. It's like if the animated series and the Arkham games had a baby and its cool wine aunt was the 60's Batman.

The Pros: *The creative direction was so beyond fun. Thank god to whoever made the choice of Harley Quinn's plot! Hot damn it was such a refreshing take.

*The chemistry of all the actors was so so fun to hear. John Leguizamo and Heidi Gardner are a total chef's kiss match up. Bobby Moynihan Is amazing as Penguin. Brent Spiner as Joker is so skin crawlingly creepy and darkly funny. Bradley Whitford's Scarecrow was written in the stars. Just the whole cast really made it. I didn't have a hard time accepting Jeffrey Wright as Batman at all. Melissa Villaseñor as Robbin was totally what you think the boy wonder would sound like.

* Cheers to Gillian Jacobs; I have noooo clue why she isn't everyone pick to voice Harley. She hit the nail so hard on the head she turned it into sausages.

The con. It's a big one but it could be fixed: I wish there was more. There isn't enough. I'm thinking of writing HBO and making a petition to get it back.

If you want or need something to hear because your getting bored of your playlists, if your a long term fan or casual viewer maybe even new to the fandom, I 100000% recommend this to anybody and everybody.

Batman: The Audio Adventures is comedic and campy creativity that presents the mythos of Batman in one of the most unique forms to have come out in a long time. It's an adventurous comedy with a dash of what makes Batman darkly desirous and it's a drama with sprinkles of satirical silliness(In a good way)!

For those who felt Batman the animated series could have reached an even wider audience if catered to a slightly older demographic YOU ARE IN LUCK. This has been the greatest piece of Batman media I've had the pleasure to consume since I first fell in love with BTAS and its related movies and comics.

I've always found that what makes Batman's character and story so tragic, and a rule that follows those he comes to know, is that no good deed goes unpunished. But what makes his story worth knowing, (and retelling for what, 80 years??) is that despite this, he cares so much, he fights so hard, and in the face of each loss, each mistake, he gets back up, to do the right thing. Each. And. Every. Time.

Batman the audio adventures perfectly embodies this drive for good, while also showing us the unintended consequences that come from it and how it affects our well meaning vigilante and those allied with him.

This cast of incredibly talented voice actors and sound FX wizards came together to breath life into the winding, weaving plot and the perilous tales found...in life and death, in Gotham city.

I've got a pretty poor ability to latch onto things, but this show hooked me in. The character's are all really well acted and there's a good sense of intrigue and mystery present. I'm a really big fan of the interconnecting plotlines as well as the variety show aspect. Wasn't expecting to laugh a whole lot, but I was pleasantly surprised. The slow burn of certain running gags becoming pretty significant story beats is really something and I kinda love it for that. There's lots to see- er, well- hear in this show. Not to mention the gorgeous ambiance artwork availible should you choose to watch this on HBOMax. The audio mixing is fantastic and really puts you in the scene. Probably the only critique I can give is that there isn't more of it!

I was aware of this but didn't have much interest in it until it was Batman day and all the episodes came on HBO Max so out of pure curiosity I gave it a listen and love it, it's a ton of fun the voice actors are pretty great and It's pretty funny. It's a very interesting take on Batman not because of the story's (which are pretty standard) But because of the way there being told it's a very fun and I would recommend it if your a Batman fan if not I think that you may be a bit confused it has a lot of Easter eggs and plots that rely on you knowing a bit more the the average person would know but it's not that big of a deal.
