The highly anticipated DC show centered on Arkham Asylum, initially led by showrunner Antonio Campos and executive producer Matt Reeves, has been put on hold in its current form. The series, which has undergone multiple transformations over the years, was originally set in the world of Reeves' The Batman movie before shifting focus to the infamous psychiatric hospital. With James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over at DC Studios, the show has been reimagined as part of the new DC Universe, linking it to upcoming projects like The Penguin spinoff. As Reeves continues to work on The Batman Part II for release in 2026, the fate of the Arkham Asylum show remains uncertain. Despite this setback, fans can still look forward to the arrival of the Colin Farrell-starring Penguin series later this year. Stay tuned for further developments.
