The Knight is an audio drama that focuses on Gotham City and the Bat-Family. The series is largely inspired by The Batman (2004) and Young Justice, The characters and references will pull large inspiration from those two series but will ultimately be its own fan universe that I'm calling the DCADU (DC Audio Drama Universe)
Season One will focus on Jason's first year as Robin, With Batman trying to focus on locating an old foe Wrath. Other heroes and villains will pop up but they wont be heavily focused on. I am still writing Season One as I'm opening casting so lines and the class of these roles (Main, Side and Cameo) may change as I write the season.
I plan on recording in the next few months, I also haven't got much experience with Audio Dramas, I do however have a lot of experience in the Content Creation space with editing and I also have too much knowledge of DC as a whole.
Cameo characters have the potential to evolve into larger roles, Specifically The Joker as I have plans for him in the second half of season one. Even if the role is small or large each character has the ability to evolve with each episode.
RECORD IN AAABBBCCC Format, Three takes of each line!!!
Please supply your Discord username in the application, There will be a server made so you will have deadlines and more information about the project if you are selected. If you're selected you will be given your role in the server so everyone knows who each other are. For example if you are chosen to be Robin II you will have that nickname in the server.
The Knight will be guaranteed to be an Audio Drama series but we will be opening some places for Artists and Animators to work on the project to turn it into a visual series. However this is our secondary objective.
Keep in mind that I cannot pay anyone as I do not own the rights or licence for these characters, this is a purely fan created project and therefor we cannot accept any money for the creation of this project.
Be advised, We have moved the remaining roles onto a new listing on CCC. The following link is now the active listing for auditions with some new lines and directions.

This round of casting will be completed on my account @voicesofrory, However roles that haven't been filled will be moved onto another casting call on the new Felton Brothers Media account.
For those who have already secured roles we highly recommend that you follow that account and keep up to date with our socials.
We would like to have our own Theme song and some other background music for the series. It must sound like Batman if that makes sense. I have a link supplied for the sort of feel i want with it but at the end of the day it is up to you and how you interpret it.

Before you decide to apply, please know that it will be a massive undertaking. I'm not expecting MAPPA level quality but fluidity. Also I'm not expecting the animation to have colour at all but at least able to be easily identify each character on screen in the style of either Young Justice or The Batman (2004)
Combat scenes are somewhat frequent, Conversation scenes are also a large portion of it all as well.
*Say something you think would fit*
Ideally we'd like to have some original designs for our characters, said designs would be preferred in the style of Young Justice or The Batman (2004). Keep in mind that you would have to replicate this style for multiple characters.
These artworks do not need to have colour in them but it would be preferred.
*Say something you think would fit*
I recommend that everyone also auditions for this role as well, Can be any gender who auditions for them.
(Criminal) Well not before The Bat punctured his lungs and broke all his ribs.
(Reporter) This is ??? from Gotham City News, Billionaire Playboy Bruce Wayne was seen partying at the Iceberg Lounge last night.
(Civilian) Look its Robin!
It's a bloodbath, Looks like small time thugs got the bad end of the stick.
No, These are different, these aren't batarangs, and I don't know if you've noticed but he doesnt kill.
(Surprised) Jesus Christ, Batman.
Jesus christ, Jim
Undoubtedly this would have ‘His’ attention?
You think it was Batman?
CAMEO
Have fun with it, Say whatever you want. For context the written cameo scene in Episode 2 is Batman walking past their cell in Arkham and they just start mocking, talking and just wanting to get Batman's attention. (They don't know Batman's identity so i personally wouldn't just say "hello Brucie" if you know what i mean)

Next time make sure he's out before you turn around. Also Alfred isn't going to be happy with the scorch mark on his roof.
That is also wrongful imprisonment, Superman only gets away with it because most of his villains aren't human.
