Overview
- In a BobaTalks interview, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn said the Arkham series "just didn't work" and is not being developed by anyone right now.
- The project originated as a Gotham City Police Department show tied to Matt Reeves’ The Batman before shifting to a horror‑leaning Arkham concept.
- Showrunner Antonio Campos was attached during development as the series evolved and later was retooled to align with the DCU under Gunn and Peter Safran.
- Trade reporting in mid‑2024 said the project was put on ice, and Gunn’s comments now publicly confirm its shelved status.
- Gunn allowed there is "hope" it could be revisited someday, as coverage notes HBO’s The Penguin succeeded and Reeves continues work on The Batman Part II for 2027.
