"The music and sound design is great, and the voice acting is very good indeed, despite the scenery chewing in parts. Whether intentionally or not this really reminds me of the radio dramas of the 30’s and 40’s. Apart from the bad language. I listened to the entire series in one go and was left feeling unsatisfied. There was no real depth to any of the characters and it felt like they were only there to advance the plot, or die. This was the biggest let down."

"The obvious difference between Glover and Minhaj is that Glover is white. Hasan is brown. This Riddler brings this up often as a way to invoke white fragility in someone he doesn’t want to deal with...the journey is more cohesive than “Batman: Unburied.” “Riddler: Secrets in the Dark” fulfills the promise to fans of getting a new character added to the world of Batman and DC Comics as a whole."
