HBO Max has confirmed an October premiere date for the upcoming second season of Batman: The Audio Adventures. The series, starring Geoffrey Wright as the Dark Knight, ran for 10 episodes back in 2021 and brought a brilliant Golden Age spin to the Bat-franchise.
In season 2, 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. The series is once again written by Dennis McNicholas (SNL).
