Batman fans, Waze will be a lot cooler for you. Starting today, DC said, the option will be unlocked in the navigation app so drivers can choose Batman or the Riddler as their preferred voice in preparation for next month's celebration of Batman Day in DC.
Batman is for when you're feeling extra heroic, while the Riddler is for those times when you want a drive to feel a little more vicious. Batman's voice is provided by actor Kevin Conroy, who speaks the superhero in Batman: The Animated Series and remains an iconic shepherd of portraying the superhero. Actor Wally Wingert treats the Riddler's voice with that certain sense of geekiness that the villain always exudes.

Not only will both of them pronounce a trip, but fans can choose to have their Waze icon appear as a Batmobile or a custom Riddler vehicle icon, and pick a specific Batman or Riddler Mood. The integration of Waze with Spotify also allows drivers to browse curated DC superhero and villain playlists.
Batman Day happens on September 19th with myriad other things planned, including a series of "digital activities". As for the Waze fun, it will be leaving the app on October 31st.
