DC Comics outlines Batman Day details with FaZe Clan, HBO Max, & WEBTOON collaborations

DC’s Batman Day festivities span comics, streaming, and more.

DC Comics has big plans for Batman Day this year which takes place Saturday, September 18th. We’re talking HBO Max offerings, a FaZe Clan limited edition Batman comic, and WEBTOON offerings too. Last year’s Batman Day offerings also catered to an international audience as well as options on HBO Max, but 2021 seems to offer far more.

Below you’ll find a rundown of all the major offerings for Batman Day 2021.

Listen to the latest episode of our weekly comics podcast!

Starting with HBO Max, Warner Bros. is offering up all 10 episodes of Batman: The Audio Adventures on Batman Day (9/18). This is the very first podcast from HBO Max and stars Jeffrey Wright (Batman), Rosario Dawson (Catwoman), and John Leguizamo (The Riddler) with appearances from an all-star voice cast including Jason Sudeikis.

BURBANK, CA – The fight for justice goes global to honor the enduring legacy of the iconic Super Hero on Batman Day, Saturday, September 18, 2021. Headlined by two breakthrough releases, BATMAN: THE AUDIO ADVENTURES and BATMAN: THE WORLD, DC and Warner Bros. will recognize the iconic character’s longevity and impact across comics, film, television and more, with a massive collection of partnerships, special releases and initiatives in honor of the Dark Knight.

BATMAN: THE WORLD

On Batman Day, fans can enjoy all ten episodes of the thrilling new Batman original scripted podcast BATMAN: THE AUDIO ADVENTURES exclusively on HBO Max! Starring Jeffrey Wright as Batman, Rosario Dawson as Catwoman, John Leguizamo as the Riddler, and a who’s who of incredible Saturday Night Live alums, BATMAN: THE AUDIO ADVENTURES draws inspiration from the vintage noir atmosphere of the celebrated Batman: The Animated Series, the spirited fun of the classic 1960s Batman TV series, and the entire 80-plus year history of Batman. This rollicking, over-the-top Batman adventure is written and directed by Emmy-winner Dennis McNicholas (Saturday Night Live), includes devilishly delightful original music by Doug Bossi, and also features performances by Chris Parnell, Melissa Villaseñor, Seth Meyers, Brent Spiner, Ike Barinholtz, Bobby Moynihan, Kenan Thompson, Jason Sudeikis, Alan Tudyk, Heidi Gardner, Brooke Shields, Paul Scheer, Tim Meadows, Fred Armisen, and Ray Wise. In the scripted audio original, produced in partnership with Warner Bros. and DC, Gotham City comes to lurid life in the theater of your mind with a sensational pageant of technicolor villainy unlike any other on Earth. Mafioso Penguins. Thieving Catwomen. Terrorizing Riddlers. Killing Jokers. A city where some problems can only be solved by a billionaire in a bat costume. Fans should keep a lookout for a sneak peek trailer for BATMAN: THE AUDIO ADVENTURES, arriving soon! To take listeners deeper into the mysteries featured in the podcast, DC will publish a special Batman: The Audio Adventures comic in October. The 80-page, prestige format one-shot features a prequel story by Dennis McNicholas, Bobby Moynihan, Heidi Gardner, Paul Scheer, and others; art by Leonardo Romero, Juni Ba, and others; and cover by Dave Johnson.

BATMAN: THE WORLD
