Could There Be More In Reeves’ Corner of The DC Universe?
With the critical acclaim and fan support of The Penguin, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine there being some other Gotham offshoots from Reeves’s corner of the universe. During a press conference near the release of the HBO series, THS heard the director explain his rationale for widening out the scope of Batman’s world.
“When we were making The Batman, the idea was to do a, not an origin tale, but the early days of a young Batman,” Reeves explained. “And with that idea, the Rogues Gallery characters around him, because in the comics, those characters are inspired by the presence of Batman in this place. And coming to being, it was, in a weird way, an origin tale for those characters.”
He added, “And so, Dylan Clark and I were very excited about the idea of not only doing films, but maybe doing an HBO-style show that could not be focused on Batman, but instead be focused on one of those Rogues Gallery characters and see them coming into being, see their origins, and do it with an HBO treatment.”
