‘The Batman’ movie is still a long way from being released in theaters, however, last Friday it was announced that this film directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson will extend thanks to a new series for HBO Max.
This series will be developed by Reeves himself together with Terence Winter ( Boardwalk Empire, The Sopranos ). According to initial reports, the plot of that undertaking focuses on the Gotham Police Department and will specifically address corruption within Gotham.
In that sense, of course, after the announcement, many fans began to wonder how the series would relate to ‘The Batman’ in terms of continuity. Although there are no official details yet, Variety reporter Justin Kroll said that the series would be a kind of prequel to the film.
No idea if Patz will make man appearance but what I have learned is that it be set before when THE BATMAN is set and dive into how Gotham became corrupt and infested with criminals. https://t.co/s1frb1trat

As Kroll correctly points out, it is currently unknown if Robert Pattinson (Batman) and Jeffrey Wright (Jim Gordon) will appear in the series. No other details about the proposal of this production that aims to expand the world of the new Batman movie have been released. If everything goes as planned, the movie will debut next October 2021.
