Review Party Recommends: Batman: The Audio Adventures

If you’re here on this website, chances are you’re at least a touch nerdy. You’ve climbed the nerd tree and the oils from the leaves have rubbed into your hands and clothes ever so slightly, even if you haven’t fallen and hit every branch on the way down. The point is, maybe you like superheroes just a touch. And since you’re here, on the blog FOR A PODCAST (go on and listen while you’re here, huh?), chances are you also like podcasts.

Well, having had this shared through word of mouth, and recently paying it forward, the time has come for us at Review Party Dot Com to recommend you listen to Batman: The Audio Adventures.

We’re kind of in the review business here, so let us lay it out for you.

This is a seriously funny, and sometimes just serious series that features interweaving stories of life and death in Gotham City. And. It. Is. GREAT!

As if you were spinning the dial of an old radio, you will jump between phony ads for The Iceberg Lounge and unfortunate clowns of the non-criminal variety, and gripping bits of narrative action featuring the Bat, the Cat, the Penguin, and those that Riddle and Joke.

In style and tone, it is a delightful cocktail of the original 1960s camp and the 90s animated grit, and it is produced by DC and HBO Max (at the time), so it has some talent.

Do you like SNL? Well it’s written by Dennis McNicholas, writer for SNL. Oh, you don’t know him? WELL, it also has the voice talents of:

Chris Parnell, Ike Barinholtz, Jason Sudeikis, Kenan Thompson, Bobby Moynihan, Seth Meyers, Tim Meadows, Fred Armisen, Paul Scheer, Jeffrey Wright, Rosario Dawson, Gilian Jacobs, John Leguizamo, Bradley Whitford, Alan Tudyk, and MORE.

It’s a solid listen, if you enjoy those people.

And if you don’t want to just listen, Max and YouTube both have video versions, so you can see the characters a bit, instead of just listening.
