The Batman hasn’t even finished production yet but fans are already on the edge of their seats in anticipation of Matt Reeves’ masterpiece!
And now, even before the movie hits the big screen, reports have come out that the movie is set to have its own spinoff series!
The Batman’s director and HBO Max have teamed up to develop a new police drama series that’ll be set in the same universe as the Robert Pattinson-led movie and will focus on the “crime-infested streets of the Caped Crusader’s hometown Gotham City,” The Hollywood Reporter writes.
Although the upcoming series does not have an official title just yet, some have taken to calling it Gotham Central after the police procedural comic-book series published by DC Comics.
Produced by Matt and Dylan Clark (who’s also producing the The Batman), HBO Max notes that the series will be “set in the world Reeves is creating for The Batman feature film and will build upon the motion picture’s examination of the anatomy of corruption in Gotham City, ultimately launching a new Batman universe across multiple platforms. The series provides an unprecendented opportunity to extend the world established in the movie and further explore the myriad of compelling and complex characters of Gotham.”

According to sources, no castings have been made yet in these early stages so there’s no word on whether Robert will be reprising his role as Batman for the series.
“This is an amazing opportunity, not only to expand the vision of the world I am creating in the film but to explore it in the kind of depth and detail that only a longform format can afford,” Matt said in a statement. “And getting to work with the incredibly talented Terence Winter, who has written so insightfully and powerfully about worlds of crime and corruption, is an absolute dream.”
“Our collaboration with Warner Bros. and DC allows us to elaborate and grow fan connections across these powerful brands for years to come,” said HBO Max chief content officer Kevin Reilly. “This is Batman as most audiences have never seen before, and we know fans will want to spend more time in this new world inspired by the film.”
