Reeves told the Happy Sad Confused podcast, “The one thing we don’t do, I was going to do. … So, there’s a Gotham cop show that’s actually on hold. We don’t actually do that.”

Reeves told Happy Sad Confused that he hopes to “maybe someday” visit the Gotham City Police Department again. He also told The Cyber ​​Nerds in a recent interview that the project for the series has evolved into one possibly centered on Arkham Asylum.
