Has anyone heard anything recently? News around this series seems to have gone silent, and with what the idiots in charge after the merger have done, I'm concerned about it being cancelled before it starts.

The Batman: Warner Bros. and DC Comics are already planning to launch spin-offs from that universe, with one focused on Penguin and the other focusing on Arkham Asylum. Previously, there was a spin-off that was set to focus on the Gotham City Police Department with Joe Barton set to pen the script as well as Executive Produce the series. That series was ultimately shelved, and Matt Reeves and company moved on to other projects. During an interview with The Telegraph Joe Barton revealed that he was fired in January. While appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Matt Reeves revealed the plans for the canceled spin-off. Gotham PD was to act as a prequel to The Batman, taking place in "Year One" of Bruce Wayne's (Pattinson) crime-fighting crusade.
