We haven’t had any news about the series since then, and it was James Gunn himself who was interviewed Boba is talkingwho recently spoke about the progress of the project.

“Development Hell”

Hang in there because it’s all a bit complicated. In 2020, a Batman series was indeed ordered by Warner, but it had no connection to Arkham Asylum. It was actually a legal series that chronicled the investigations of the Gotham City Police Department. Then, in 2022, a new showrunner was hired, in the name of Antonio Campos, to produce a series centered around Commissioner Gordon.

Finally, back in 2022, thanks to Antonio Campos, and Matt Reeves himself announcing that the series is now called Arkham Asylum, that should make all (many) fans of the famous video game around the world rejoice. At the same time, a deleted scene from the film Batman is revealed, in which the character of the Joker, played by Barry Keoghan, is interned. Therefore, it seems that the connection with the story of the famous game is confirmed.
