‘The Batman’ director attributes the downfall of both series to HBO exec expectations, stating they said, ‘We like what you’re doing, and we want to lean harder into the marquee characters.'
The project, which was set in ‘The Batman’ universe, was described by Matt Reeves as, ‘like a horror movie or a haunted house that is Arkham.’
DC Studios co-chairman James Gunn has confirmed the mysterious upcoming series will be canon and may feature characters and plotlines from other projects within the DCU; Reeves’ ‘The Batman – Part II’ and ‘The Penguin’ remain part of DC Elseworlds.
‘The Staircase’ creator is set to write, direct, and showrun the Arkham Asylum-centric series, described by Matt Reeves as, ‘like a horror movie or a haunted house that is Arkham.’
