Last month, news that director Matt Reeves is developing a The Batman TV spinoff for HBO Max set in the same universe as the film surfaced. The news of the Gotham City PD series sent shockwaves throughout the industry as many speculated how much of an impact the Robert Pattinson-led film would have on the future of DC projects. Now, a new report from The Cinema Spot reveals that a new spinoff series might be in development as well. However, this series would focus on Catwoman.
As always, nothing bout the DCEU is confirmed until it is, so take this with a grain of salt. However, per the initial report, Zoë Kravitz is expected to reprise her role as Selina Kyle aka Catwoman from the upcoming Batman flick. Additionally, the rumor suggests Selina Kyle will not actually become the Gotham City Siren in The Batman. This means the series would serve as a sequel to the film. If this does come to fruition, it would seem likely Matt Reeves may have some involvement as well.
