Transcript

00:00A TV spinoff of the new movie The Batman from Matt Reeves is coming to HBO Max.

00:04Reeves and the streaming service have teamed up to develop a police drama series set in

00:08the crime-infested streets of the Caped Crusader's hometown, Gotham City.

00:11Reeves previously shared these photos from the set of The Batman movie on social media.

00:15Terrence Winter, who created the prohibition crime drama Boardwalk Empire, will write and

00:19executive produce the show, which is coming with a serious commitment from HBO Max.

00:22The show does not yet have a title, although some have been calling it Gotham Central.

00:26The series will operate in the same story universe as Reeves' movie The Batman,

00:29which stars Robert Pattinson, as seen in this camera test footage for the film previously

00:32shared by Reeves.

00:33The movie also has Jeffrey Wright in the role of detective or police commissioner James

00:37Gordon.

00:38It's unclear whether Wright and Pattinson would appear in the show.

00:40Sources say no castings have been made at this early stage.

00:43Reeves said in a statement,

00:44This is an amazing opportunity not only to expand the vision of the world I am creating

00:48in the film, but to explore it in the kind of depth and detail that only a long-form format

00:53can afford.

00:53And getting to work with the incredibly talented Terrence Winter, who has written so insightfully

00:57and powerfully about worlds of crime and corruption is an absolute dream.

01:01Reeves is currently in prep to restart shooting The Batman with Pattinson in the UK this fall.

01:05It had paused due to the pandemic.
