Canceled ‘The Batman’ spinoff writer thinks he might’ve dodged a bullet

Another day, another DC employee dishing on how chaotic it is to work for the studio. Matt Reeves’ Batverse might be going full-steam ahead, with Warner Bros. Discovery moving forward with various spinoff projects based on Robert Pattinson’s acclaimed debut in The Batman, but not everything connected to this latest reboot of the Dark Knight has turned to gold. Case in point, the axed Gotham P.D. HBO Max series.

Despite being, or perhaps because it was, the first Batman off-shoot, the series that would’ve focused on Commissioner Gordon and his officers officially died a death in the wake of the film’s release this past spring. Given everything that’s happened in the DC world since, then, however, would-have-been showrunner Joe Barton believes its cancellation might’ve been for the best.
