Next time you use Waze, you can make Batman give you directions.

Starting Monday, the app will get a Gotham City makeover until Oct. 31. Google-owned Waze is honoring 81 years of Batman with new "characters" and voices.

Previous fictional and real celebrities that have appeared on Waze: DJ Khaled and Sesame Street's Cookie Monster.

If you're feeling more Edward Nigma than Bruce Wayne, the villainous Riddler is also available in the app. While driving IRL, you can either see the Batmobile or Riddler Racer show up on the map.

Waze's Batman tribute comes right after the first trailer for The Batmanwas released. The movie isn't expected in theaters until October 2021, but it's worth watching for a sneak peek of Paul Dano as the Riddler.

In Waze, voice directions in English will feature actor Kevin Conroy as Batman and Wally Wingert as the Riddler. Conroy has voiced Batman in the Warner Bros. animated series since the 1990s, while actor Wingert was the voice for the Riddler in the Batman: Arkhamvideo game series. Now the superhero and supervillain will tell you to turn left in 500 feet.

The Batman voices are only available in the English, Spanish, and Portuguese versions of the app. To customize your driving experience, open the app and select "Drive with Batman."

No matter which DC character you choose, remember the wise words of Batman while driving: "It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."
