News Arkham Asylum James Gunn Confirms Arkham Asylum HBO Series Is No More “It just didn’t work.” By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on October 23, 2025 Credit: Warner Bros. Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Warner Bros. The new DC Studios, spearheaded by James Gunn and Peter Safran, has been moving forward with several new shows and movies, including the Penguin spinoff, the second season of Peacemaker, and Superman. Those projects, however, were just some of those announced since the two took over in 2022; in December 2023, Gunn confirmed that the Arkham Asylum series set in Matt Reeves’ The Batman universe was still in development (the other series about the Gotham Police Department had been axed by that time). Since then, we’ve heard reports that the Arkham Asylum show had also fallen to the wayside. But we hadn’t had official confirmation until now. In an interview on the BobaTalks YouTube channel, Gunn confirmed the Arkham Asylum series is no more. “Hope, sure. But that isn’t something that’s being developed by anyone right now,” Gunn said when asked if there was any hope of seeing the show go into production in the near future. “It just didn’t work.” So you’re saying there’s a chance? Even though the Arkham Asylum show isn’t going to happen in the near future, and most likely not at all, there’s plenty of other exciting DCU stuff in the pipeline. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to come out in June 2026, and there’s also the Clayface movie, with a script co-written by Mike Flanagan coming out late in 2026. Looking out to 2027 also gives us the Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, and Booster Gold also has a pilot order, which means it may go into full production sometime in the near future. The next show on the roster, however, is Lanterns, which is expected to come out early next year. [end-mark] The post James Gunn Confirms Arkham Asylum HBO Series Is No More appeared first on Reactor.
