‘The Batman’ Director Matt Reeves On Why Arkham Asylum & Gotham PD Spinoffs Did Not Move Forward


Matt Reeves started to create a whole universe with the release of 2022's The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader.

The filmmaker is expanding the world with The Penguin, an HBO original series centered on Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobb, which will premiere on the premium cable network and Max in September. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Reeves explains why two series he had been developing, set in what he calls the Batman Epic Crime Saga, had been canceled for now. Reeves and producing partner Dylan Clark had been working on a couple of series, one focusing on the Gotham Police Department and a second set in the Arkham Asylum.
