- As Variety exclusively reported in October 2022, Antonio Campos had come onboard to serve as writer and showrunner of the series, which was originally meant to be set within the world of Matt Reeves‘ “The Batman.” But according to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Campos’ version will not proceed. It is still possible, though, that a new project set within the infamous Gotham City asylum could be developed in the future, the individual noted;
- Thus ends (at least for now) the show’s complicated path to the screen;
- This is all not to say that the world Reeves built in “The Batman” will lie fallow. “The Penguin,” a crime drama series with Colin Ferrell reprising the role of the titular supervillain, is scheduled to debut on Max in September. Reeves is also at work on “The Batman Part II,” though the film’s release date was recently pushed back from October 2025 to October 2026.
