Set to hit HBO Max on October 7th, here's an audio preview for Batman: The Audio Adventures:

In Season 2 of "Batman: The Audio Adventures," Gotham City's cauldron of crime and corruption is about to boil over. While The Joker remains at large, criminal kingpins and former rivals The Penguin and Two-Face have joined forces – and the mysterious narco-terrorist known as Scarecrow remains unidentified, even as his chemical nightmares plague the city. The schism between Batman and Catwoman grows ever larger as both escalate their separate wars on crime, threatening dire consequences for both. And Harleen Quinzel (aka Harley Quinn) is living for a love that's slowly killing her, just waiting for inspiration to strike.

"It's edgy but has comic elements too — it's very noir and old-school in some ways. What drew me to this, what distinguishes it, is that it's a radio show. I'm giving a wink to the old radio shows… I love the strangeness and the melodrama you can bring to it. We lean on that," Wright shared during an interview with Variety. "I love voice work. It's kind of a craft unto itself. Having come from the theater, I enjoy working with the voice… It's music on the page. I have an instrument, and I try to interpret it for the composer and for the conductor."
