Maybe we could give some more spinoffs that aren't Batman/Suicide Squad related ?

Matt Reeves mentions the second The Batman spinoff connects to Arkham Asylum.

Huh, an Arkham spinoff when we don't have as many villains...oh well, I guess they could just use some B and C-listers .

It appears the GCPD series evolved into an Arkham one that has a horror slant.

The GCDP thing, that story has kind of evolved, we've actually now moving more into the realm of exactly what would happen in the world of Arkham as it relates coming off of our movie, and some of the characters, again in their origins that you would – almost leaning into the idea of – it's like a horror movie or a haunted house that is Arkham." The idea of, again the way that Gotham is a character in the movie, I really want Arkham to exist as a character, so that you go into this environment and encounter these characters in a way that feels really fresh. And so in our work on Gotham, that story started to evolve, and it started feeling, 'Wait, we should really lean into this.' And that's kind of where that's gone.

Music to my eyes. Though if the sequel is tying into that, does that mean we're finally getting CGI villains for Batman on the big screen or just...what we did manage to get on Gotham?

You can definitely do an Arkham horror show. Now I'm imagining a hapless GCPD detective stuck in Arkham .

Do you mean "evolved"?

Yep, weird auto-correct.

Wasn’t there also an Arkham plot in Gotham as well? So far Reeves is redoing what’s recently been done. A Batman-Catwoman story, Penguin show, now Arkham. I’d love to see something new different. Batman has a lot of villains.

Got as far as Dollmaker rearranging body parts and an outbreak of mutants. That show also did Grundy surprisingly enough. Reeves will be redoing the last season of Gotham. Hope by horror they don't just mean more serial killers or Scarecrow inducing some fear sequences.
Batman's got actual almost mythological monsters in his rogues.

Yeah, when they said horror, the Living Hell series came to mind.

They also just released an Arkham: The Order of the World comic that was very eerie/horror based.

Still in development.

10/25:

The Arkham series that Matt Reeves was developing will now take place in Gunn's DCU continuity. Reeves will be working on both DCU and Bat-Verse (with Pattinson) projects for Gunn:

Can't say I saw that coming .

I guess this is where they'll be introducing a lot of their takes on Batman's Rogues Gallery.

Could it come before The Brave and the Bold? We might just see the DCU Batman introduced (even briefly) on this show?

I think there's a better chance of that happening than Pattinson appearing in The Penguin. Contracts seem to stipulate the actors appearing across different pieces of media.

I'm wondering if Gunn was misinterpreted. Could he mean, Reeves has 2 DCU projects that are officially greenlit - Penguin and Arkham - and is still getting The Batman 2 off the ground rather than what people interpret as Arkham is now set in the mainline DCU continuity?

EDIT: Ok, Gunn clarified Arkham is indeed set in the mainline DC canon. "We love Matt as a director and producer so he'll be producing stories both within his The Batman universe and within the DCU"

I wonder if it was a case of "Matt, you can only produce so many Elseworld spinoffs, so we'll need to re-develop this into something that fits our new universe" ?

Makes me wonder if he'll consult on TBATB at all...
