Matt Reeves Shares His Vision For The Batman’s Epic Crime Saga
This week, HBO and Max premiered The Penguin, the first spin-off series from The Batman. And while this show is a part of director Matt Reeves’ plans for what he calls The Batman Epic Crime Saga, The Penguin was never meant to be the only series to come out of the first film. But while separate shows about the Gotham City PD and Arkham Asylum fell by the wayside, Reeves now says that there will be more spin-offs if The Penguin is successful.
While speaking with EW, Reeves declined to say which spin-offs he has in mind beyond The Penguin. But he did indicate that the next show or shows will be built around some of the ideas that were in the previous GCPD and Arkham Asylum pitches.
“The things that we’re talking about [now] are evolved versions of those [spin-offs],” said Reeves. “It’s not like that just didn’t work. It was like, we need to evolve this. I would describe it less as something that didn’t work out and more as something that is still along a path toward arriving at its destination.”
