Ex-‘Sopranos’ showrunner quits ‘The Batman’ TV spin-off over creative differences

The project, which serves as an accompanying series to the Batman feature film, was announced back in July, expanding on the world of this iteration of Batman, focusing on the Gotham City Police Department. Gotham Central is said to dig deeper into “the film’s examination of the anatomy of corruption in Gotham City.”

Explaining the timeline at the DC FanDome convention, following the release of the first trailer for The Batman, Reeves said the film was set during “Year Two” of Bruce Wayne’s career as Batman, while the upcoming TV series would be set during “Year One”.

“You start to see the story from the point of view of these corrupt cops, one in particular,” Reeves began.

“The Gotham PD series will go into the corruption of the Gotham Police Department…it goes back to Batman Year One…we’ll see these characters from a perspective we’ve never seen before.”

No release date has yet been revealed for Gotham Central. After coronavirus-related delays, The Batman is now set to come out on March 4, 2022.
