Batman Unburied

After listening to all the podcast episodes till now, I can say that it is a true psychological thriller audio series and those who are a big fan of Batman or DC then this podcast is rightfully dedicated to them. Sometimes I get into the series during some interesting conversation but sometimes because of some conversations, the whole link of interest breaks and that is where I felt that it should not be there.

The story starts to take shape in 2 episodes and the viewer will like that thing that no useless dialogues are used in the series and it is like 'What will happen next?!'.

A true psychological thriller podcast series I have ever heard till the date. Best thing about this podcast is casting. Every actor has done a great job in the series.

Look, the character of Batman has been around for 83 years. There have been numerous books, treatises, or dissertations regarding the psyche of the essence. We know all of that, and like the shows "Gotham" or "Krypton," if the "guy" isn't there, we don't care! I know this is early days but if he isn't present, neither will we be present.

In other words, if a James Bond movie doesn't have James Bond or Jason Bourne isn't being Jason Bourne, what is the point. Stop trying to make these characters an episode of "Dawson's Creek."

I couldn't help but notice some 1-star reviews that CLEARLY didn't listen past the first episode... Because their reasonings for not liking the show are void after 2 episodes. (MINOR SPOILER ABOUT FIRST EPISODE) the first episode is meant to be a little jarring- so if you're confused, good- it means you're a Batman fan and you should be a little confused.

All in all, I'm 6 episodes in and I'm impressed. In my personal opinion, it's a small step below Marvel's podcast "Wolverine: The Long Night" (season 1). And with that in mind, I would have given this series a 9/10 But in order to balance out the poor 1-star reviews, I've given it a 10.

My shelf is full of Batman comics and figures and what have you. I know Batman. This podcast is a unique and familiar experience that is worth a listen, especially after the first two episodes. The odd start made me think one thing and the twist following episode 2 had me thinking another. Worth it for sure. Some may knock it for the lack of Bat but do give it a chance.

"Batman Unburied" is a new and fresh take on the character of Bruce Wayne. It's something you probably haven't heard before - but that doesn't mean that it strays too far away that it has hardly anything to do with Batman or the "Bat-Verse".

Without giving away too much: those who criticize that this doesn't feel like Batman at all are those, who stopped listening after two episodes. If you like Batman, listen to the end (so far it's 6 episodes with about 20 minutes each) and you will be rewarded. And you'll get some Arkham games flashbacks with a certain sound effect that they used throughout the series.

Plus: the Riddler has some funny dialogue.

Edit: After listening to the last four episodes, I need to adjust the rating. After the quite exciting and interesting build-up of the first six episodes, episodes 7 and 8 were a little boring and slow (they were used to introduce new characters). After that it was all very classic Batman, which we all know well. One of the things I enjoyed in the first half was the Riddler. Unfortunately he disappeared completely for 3.5 episodes in the second half of the podcast, which is really a shame. And the Batman voice is weird... like a "rough whisper" if that makes sense... So after 10 episodes it's more like a 5.5 or 6/10.
