Previously, Audio Anomaly has created the Marvel Audio Drama Universe-- a reimagining of the Marvel universe, inspired by all its different mediums, carried by multiple writers, directors, and actors, to create a long-running series of interconnected stories, reinterpreting heroes and villains in new and exciting ways.
Now, we're looking to capture lightning in a bottle a second time, and kick off the DC Audio Drama Universe-- the DCADU! This project-- Batman: Shadows Over Gotham-- will be our first installment.
Shadows Over Gotham is a horror-themed neo-noir audio drama, which sees Batman starting to feel like he's made a difference. It's been nearly four years since he began his war on crime, and he's had more than his share of victories. But when the villain Firefly gets broken out of Arkham Asylum, and starts ranting cryptically about a dark and terrible secret at the heart of Gotham City-- the Dark Knight must reckon with some dark truths about place he calls home.
The roles of Batman and Harleen Quinzel have already been cast, but as you'll see, there are many, many characters on offer here-- several of whom we plan to spin out into starring roles in audio dramas of their own! If you check out our back catalogue with all our Marvel stuff, you'll see how serious we are about that kind of thing.
This is a new universe, a new interpretation, so not everything will be exactly as you expect. Keep an open mind!
This universe will also skew a bit more dark and mature than is possible in the comics or the mainstream films. More adult language and violence, more mature topics. Think an HBO special sort of thing. Nothing too crazy explicit, but things will get dark and twisty on occasion.
Not too many requirements, save for the following:
1. Decent audio. Little to no background noise or reverb.
2. Discord is a must. This is a massive undertaking, and we'll be involving you in multiple projects going forward, as long as you're willing! Discord's our main method of communication, so. If you don't have an account, please be prepared to get one!
3. 18+ please!
4 Don't slate your auditions, please! If you slate, you'll likely be disqualified.
Good luck, and have fun!
