Randomly searching for Comic podcasts on Spotify I came upon Batman Unburied. After becoming a big fan of Only Murders in the Building on Hulu based on crime podcasts, I wanted to check it out and see what all the commotion was about. Interested too?

Listen to the trailer for Batman Unburied below.

Episode 1

Batman Unburied begins with Bruce Wayne as a Forensic Pathologist performing an autopsy on a suspected The Harvester killing. We find out that Bruce has a special way of connecting with the victims on his slab table while he cuts them open. He envisions himself as the victim to try and figure out what happened. All of this within the first 3 minutes. It got me hooked.

Want to follow along? Below is a link to Episode 1.

Whoa. Not what I expected for more than just 1 reason.

1. Holy shit, Bruce’s parents are alive??

2. Bruce Wayne is a doctor?

3. Bruce goes to therapy?!

Maybe because I never listen to podcasts that this is so different to me. But it was exciting, interesting and more importantly not difficult to follow along.

While Bruce is performing the autopsy, he determines that maybe The Harvester wasn’t finished with this victim. Sure enough, he was right, The Harvester shows up and incapacitates Bruce. He cuts her up, eats some of her body and places some brain on her tongue. Extremely fucked up and gave me chills.

Bruce’s body is found by some other workers and they save him. He goes into surgery performed by his father, Thomas Wayne. Which again, very crazy that his parents are alive. After surgery his father tells him that he MUST go to therapy, for he deals with way too many bodies and thinks it is affecting him. Spoiler alert, it is.

Bruce goes to his first therapy session and reveals that his dad sees him as a failure and some other minor things. The therapist wants more but it’s hard to pry it out of Bruce.

Next Bruce heads out to see Robert(The Riddler?) I only say this because of the episode description. Tells him that he wants to get The Harvester and tries to get some photos from him but is unsuccessful. He heads home and is met by his mom. She pours him a drink and they chat a bit. Something odd happens, I thought I heard a gunshot and Marta spills her drink. She heads to get paper towel to clean up; then something weird happens, Marta’s necklace somehow breaks and the pearls go everywhere, but during that time it causes Bruce to have a weird migraine or something.

He receives a phone call from The Harvester, he tells Bruce “I’ve got your recorder” and to check out the fridge….

I have to say, I’m hooked. Going to continue listening to this series. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
