Per VARIETY, Antonio Campos (THE STAIRCASE) has been brought aboard as writer, director, showrunner/executive producer of THE BATMAN spinoff HBO Max spinoff series set in Arkham Asylum, “should his version of the show ultimately go forward.”

I don’t know anything about Campos other than I did watch and really like THE STAIRCASETHE BATMAN UNIVERSE architect Matt Reeves previously described this series being “like a horror movie or a haunted house that is Arkham.”

This project started out as a police procedural focusing on the Gotham City Police Department.  Campos is the 3rd writer/showrunner hired so far.  Here’s hoping that the third time’s the charm with this project.

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
