James Gunn has shed some new light on the Arkham Asylum series that’s in development at Max, revealing how it’s not actually set in Matt Reeves’ Batverse.In 2022, it was reported that The Batman would have its world expanded upon with The Penguin, a new series following Colin Farrell’s Oswald Cobbleplot. It was also reported that an Arkham Asylum series was in the works at Max with Reeves serving as a producer. As there wasn’t much info released on the project at the time, it was presumed that it would similarly be linked to The Batman, perhaps by following Barry Keoghan’s Joker and the other inmates of the asylum. While fielding fan questions on the social media platform Threads, however, Gunn has confirmed that Arkham Asylum will actually be a part of the new DCU with Superman: Legacy and Creature Commandos.The Arkham Asylum series was announced before Gunn and Peter Safran were hired to give DC’s film slate a reset, culminating in the abandonment of the DCEU in favor of launching the new DCU. Gunn’s revelation about the show led to fans asking why it was switched to be set in the DCU after it was originally developed as a spinoff for The Batman, though when asked about the perceived switch, Gunn curiously said, “It wasn’t changed.” This still had some fans scratching their heads, as Reeves seemed to suggest shortly after the show’s announcement that it would’ve tied directly into the world of The Batman.
