James Gunn confirmed that the filmmaker is making an Arkham series based within the DCU, the new timeline he's crafting with co-chair Peter Safran. Originally, the series was meant to focus on the inner workings of the Gotham City Police Department (GD), as a prequel to The Batman film and touching on the corruption and the city's infestation with volatile criminals. However, the project later evolved into the idea of a horror show set within the confines of Arkham Asylum, the psychiatric facility housing the most deranged villains from the Dark Knight's rogues gallery.

“Right now, Matt is producing Arkham as a DCU series, so there's just the two for now,” Warner Bros. Discovery as a DC Universe project and that he had no knowledge of the changes it went through beforehand.

Back in January, Gunn and Safran starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane — slated to release July 11, 2025. Then there's a Creature Commandos animated show, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Booster Gold, a limited series based on Amanda Waller, and more.
