–Matt Reeves on the evolution of his Arkham project
Originally believed to be an Elseworlds project set in Reeves’ Batman universe, DC co-chair James Gunn revealed that Arkham was developed to be set within the main DCU continuity. “Right now Matt is producing Arkham as a DCU series,” said Gunn on Threads in January 2024, adding that”It was one of the first pitches we bought when Peter [Safran] and I came onboard.” Gunn went on to clarify Reeves’ status with DC Studios, saying “We love Matt as a director and producer so he’ll be producing stories both within his The Batman universe and within the DCU.“
In September 2021, six months ahead of the release of The Batman, it was revealed that Matt Reeves was developing a Max streaming series centered around Colin Farrell‘s Oz Cobblepot. Directed by Craig Zobel, the spinoff began production in 2023 and will follow Oz’s rise in Gotham following the events of The Batman.
