Batman Unburied has its version of The Riddler in Hasan Minhaj. The actor will get his chance to test Bruce Wayne’s mental mettle according to a recent report from The Hollywood Reporter. For the fans who are unaware, this is a Spotify series that tweaks the formula of The Caped Crusader quite a bit. David S. Goyer, who wrote Christopher Nolan’s classic The Dark Knight, is aboard to write this story. Minaj is of course a beloved comedian from both his stand-up and The Patriot Act on Netflix. In other casting news, Lance Roddick will be Thomas Wayne in the podcast. Batman’s mom, Martha Wayne, will be played by Toks Olagundoye. Geek culture fixture Ashly Burch will play Vicki Vale. And John Rhys-Davies will bring Dr. Hunter to life. People are really excited to see what DC Comics can do with this massive audio platform. As these projects succeed, podcasts could become a new medium to test ideas out and connect with comic readers. It will be interesting to see what the Netflix star brings to one of Batman’s biggest adversaries.
