\"Terence<\/a><\/p>\n

Terence Winter, the The Sopranos<\/em> writer\/producer brought in to showrun HBO Max’s planned series spinning off from director Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman<\/strong>, has left the project.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter is stating<\/a> that his departure is being placed on the standard “creative differences” line.<\/p>\n

Announced this past July<\/a>, the untitled series will be told through the eyes a crooked Gotham City police officer and will examine the culture of corruption that runs through the city’s police department. It is a prequel to Reeves’ film, being set during the first year of Batman’s career as a vigilante in Gotham. There is no word if any The Batman<\/strong> cast members such as Jeffrey Wright (Commissioner Jim Gordon) or John Turturro (gangster Carmine Falcone) will crossover to the new show.<\/p>\n

The show was ordered direct to series by HBO Max as part of a plan by Warners Media to create a cross-platform universe of stories based in the new version of Gotham City that Reeves is world building in his film. This version of Batman will be a separate one from the one played by Ben Affleck in the DC Comics Expanded Universe feature films or the one mentioned but never seen on the CW’s Batwoman<\/em> television series.<\/p>\n

This is not the only superhero-themed series that HBO Max has in the works. They also have a The Suicide Squad<\/strong> spinoff series featuring John Cena’s Peacekeeper character with The Suicide Squad<\/strong> writer\/director James Gunn overseeing as well as show centering on DC Comic’s more supernatural and magic-based superheroes titled Justice League Dark<\/em> coming from JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot production shingle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The straight-to-order series is now looking for a new showrunner.<\/div>\n
