Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Hasan Minhaj’s Riddler is coming back to your earbuds. The comedian-actor made a virtual appearance at Spotify’s Stream On event Wednesday, announcing “The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark,” the next podcast series from Spotify, DC and Warner Bros. under their exclusive multiyear partnership. Minhaj had voiced The Riddler in 2022 hit Spotify podcast “Batman Unburied,” which starred Winston Duke in the title role. “Audiences are going to travel back to Gotham City with me in a story that leaves clues, puzzles and shines a spotlight on my personal favorite character, The Riddler,” Minhaj said in the video (watch the clip below).
“The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark,” with a creative team led by filmmaker and comic book writer David S. Goyer (creator and EP of “Batman Unburied”), is slated to premiere on Spotify later in 2023. The series will follow an unexpected adventure from the perspective of one of Gotham’s most cunning super-villains: Edward Nygma, aka The Riddler, who teams up with the Dark Knight to battle a new threat. The series will feature characters from “Batman Unburied,” including Batman, Barbara Gordon and Alfred (for which casting has not yet been confirmed). In the new series, Batman begrudgingly forms an alliance with The Riddler to bring down another super-villain who’s obsessed with cleansing Gotham’s streets of sinners… including the unlikely duo.
Minhaj touted “The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark” as featuring the return of fan-favorite characters from “Batman Unburied,” adding, “But this time, instead of Batman saving The Riddler, Batman needs the Riddler’s help to save the Bat from certain death. And this time — finally! — The Riddler gets the spotlight that he deserves.”
