Spotify dropped a new playlist celebrating the Caped Crusader ahead of Batman Day 2020, which officially takes place on Sept. 19.Released on Monday, the "Drive with Batman" playlist clocks in at 6 hours, 54 minutes and features selections from all corners of the Batman cinematic and television universe — including Danny Elfman's "The Batman Theme" from 1989's Batman and Hans Zimmer's contributions to Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy.
The "Drive with Batman" playlist is being released as part of a partnership between DC, Spotify and Google's Waze GPS navigation to encourage fans "to choose a side" and "listen to songs inspired by Batman as you drive with him." The playlist is available via both Spotify and the Waze Audio Player feature. Batman fans will also have the opportunity to select Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman in Batman: The Animated Series, to voice directions as part of the Waze launch. Wally Wingert will voice the Riddler in the same capacity.
DC has launched a number of product partnerships ahead of Batman Day this year, including the Batman Virtual 5K/10K Run with RAM Racing, which launched on Aug. 31 and offered participants exclusive Batman-branded gear for participating in a run with the Dark Knight. The DC Legends and DC Universe Online games will also be accessible for free via digital comic platforms and BatmanDay.com, and digital comics featuring Batman will be available at discounted rates on Sept. 19.
