DC Comics and Warner Bros. take their heroes and villains into a whole new world as they expand their deal with Spotify for a new universe in a podcast series featuring Wonder Woman, Superman, Lois Lane, Catwoman, Joker, Batgirl, The Riddler, Katana, and Harley Quinn.

DC Comics and Spotify sealed the podcasting deal in June last year as a multi-series, multiyear deal forming part of the larger partnership between Spotify and WarnerMedia.

The chief creative officer of DC, Jim Lee, revealed the deal via Spotify's Stream On event where the DC characters will be venturing into the world of podcasts. This move was born out of the original Batman podcast of Batman Unburied written by David Goyer who co-wrote The Dark Knight Rises and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Batman Unburied will be released later this year through Spotify which will be exploring the darker aspect of the psychology of Bruce Wayne/ Batman. Spotify will be the exclusive home of the DC Comics podcasts.

This way, DC can now explore more characters and with a solid fanbase for the whole DC comics, the podcasts will be a new avenue for fans to access new content.

The competition on the podcasting space started over the last years as DC's main competitor, Marvel, seals a podcasting deal with Pandora and Stitcher, both owned by SiriusXM. With DC now entering the podcast space on Spotify, the competition rises and heats up and the two will surely go toe-to-toe with the podcast series they are about to release.

This year may really be the year for DC as it releases various shows on various platforms like HBO Max with the upcoming Zack Snyder's Justice League on March 18, 2021, and the Suicide Squad of James Gunn later this year.
