While during press for THE PENGUIN, producers Matt Reeves and Dylan Clark were, of course, asked about THE BATMAN: PART II and if there could be another spinoff TV series. Clark was talking about how the scenes in Arkham in THE PENGUIN involving Sofia Falcone (Christina Millioti) were not once part of the now-dead (unless it isn’t) spinoff set in Arkham or even a series focusing on the Sofia Falcone character. BUT…
Her [Showrunner Lauren LeFranc] ideas and the story elements that relate to [Sofia Falcone], those are all new ideas for her and have nothing to do with the other series that we’re continuing to do.
The other series?! If it’s not the Arkham show then what could it be?
Well, another journalist asked what about one that centers on Harvey Dent…like a LAW AND ORDER sort of thing? Reeves said that the journalist was “thinking certainly in the way that our conversations have gone.”
On my THE BOF SOCIAL HOUR podcast, we’ve tossed around some ideas on what another TV series in THE BATMAN SAGA might be — some ideas were meant to be taken seriously, some were obviously not. BOF’s Ryan Lower kicked around the idea of a legal drama focusing on Gotham D.A. Harvey Dent on one of the podcast episodes. Unless Harvey Dent has a BIG role in THE BATMAN: PART II, perhaps a show like this would make sense as a bridge between PART II and PART III.
What do you think? Could a Harvey Dent LAW AND ORDER-style series work? Would you be interested? Talk about it in the comments section below. (via THE DIRECT.) – Bill “Jett” Ramey
