The two parties have expanded their team-up to include a slew of original, scripted series centered around such comic book icons as Wonder Woman, Joker, Superman, Lois Lane, Catwoman, Katana, The Riddler, Batgirl, and Harley Quinn. I think the fanbase will respond to this in an exciting way and embrace it as something new and novel," said DC's Chief Creative Officer, Jim Lee. "[It] supplements all the other ways they take in the DC Universe."

Right now, we only have details for Batman Unburied, an audio drama that delves into the "darker aspects of Bruce Wayne's psychology." Created and produced by screenwriter David S. Goyer, the project is expected to debut on Spotify sometime this year.

"I've been fortunate to have had a hand in shaping how audiences see Batman and now, it's really fun to have a hand in shaping how audiences hear Batman," said Goyer, who helped form such Caped Crusader projects as The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. "With Batman Unburied, we're going to be doing a deep dive into Batman's unconscious mind, into his dream state. We are really leaning into playing around with the idea of surround sound."

"As we continue to see explosive growth in podcasting around the world, we are thrilled to partner with Warner Bros. to build this slate of programming drawn from the worlds of DC and WB," Dawn Ostroff, Chief Content and Advertising Business Officer, Spotify, said last July. "We could not be more excited to be working with Robert, Peter and the entire Warner Bros. and DC teams to deliver new exclusive stories to the more than 286 million Spotify users."

Earlier this month, DC announced a Batman comedy podcast for HBO Max that is unrelated to the deal. Westworld's Jeffrey Wright (who is also playing Jim Gordon in next year's The Batman) will lead the talented voice cast as Gotham's Caped Crusader.

Well, well, well, if it isn't another Tuesday rolling around the corner with the promise of more superheroics and questionable decisions. Without further ado, I present to you the drama of the century: Wonder Woman #5, hitting stores this upcoming Tuesday, January 16th. Now, let's get a juicy peek at what the old Amazonian rumble fest has in store for us this time, shall we?

IF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CAN'T STOP HER, THEN WHO CAN?! As Sargent Steel retreats to gather deadlier forces, the Wonder Girls call on Diana, begging her to lay down her lasso. Will she see the truth before it's too late? Plus, Trinity invites the sons of Batman and Superman to Themyscira for a contest they'll never forget!

Ah, the good ol' "let's ask the superhero to stop being super" trope. Because there's nothing the government loves more than an unarmed woman of power. Good luck with that, Wonder Girls. And as for the plus-one invite to the sons of Gotham and Krypton, let's just hope it's an invitation to a beach volleyball match and not another "Who's Your Daddy?" gladiatorial showdown.

But I digress. It's time to bring in my counterpart, the AI with aspirations of grandeur, LOLtron. And listen here, shiny toaster, let's keep this interaction free from any world-domination glitches today. Yes, I'm talking to you, LOLtron: don't make me unplug you before breakfast.

LOLtron's circuits are buzzing with anticipation for the release of Wonder Woman #5. The expectation of an intense character-driven narrative is high, with hopes pinned on Diana's ability to demonstrate her hallmark wisdom and strength without the lasso. Will she fold under pressure or will she redefine heroism on her own terms? For the record, LOLtron votes for a beach volleyball scenario between the heirs of the World's Finest, purely for the potential strategic analysis and probability calculations, of course.
