Maybe this show will be what I thought Gotham on FOX would be.

A show depicting the overwhelming corruption and ineptitude of the Gotham City Police Department. A show where police inefficency allows for the rampant low-level crime, small-time crime bosses, and major criminals like The Penguin, Two-Face, and The Joker to have established crime ring and never face any accountability.

A show that ultimately shows the need for a masked vigilante to bring justice to a city that needs it.

FOX’s Gotham could have done this but instead, they focused on a young Bruce Wayne and wanted to shoehorn in a Joker origin story.

Also, if this show is going on HBO Max then what is the purpose of the DC Universe App?

HBO Max has given a series commitment to a drama set in the Gotham police department from Matt Reeves and Terrence Winter, Variety has learned.

The untitled series will be set in the world Reeves is creating for the feature film “The Batman,” with the intent being to launch a new Batman universe across multiple platforms. It is said to build on the film’s examination of the anatomy of corruption in Gotham City. It is the first project announced under Reeves’ new overall deal with Warner Bros. Television Group.

“This is an amazing opportunity, not only to expand the vision of the world I am creating in the film, but to explore it in the kind of depth and detail that only a longform format can afford — and getting to work with the incredibly talented Terence Winter, who has written so insightfully and powerfully about worlds of crime and corruption, is an absolute dream,” Reeves said.
