We know that The Batman spinoffs revolving around Gotham City P.D. and The Penguin are in the works for HBO Max, but there's been a lot of chatter online among fans about a possible series focusing on Catwoman. Selina Kyle's story would arguably make for more interesting viewing than Oswald Cobblepot's, but it appears the plan is to tell Carwoman's origin over the course of a trilogy.
Talking during a recent press event, director Matt Reeves was asked about the future of Zoe Kravitz's cat burglar, and explained why he's more focused on launching this world before expanding it.
"You should really talk to the HBO Max reps! I mean, look, what we're really trying to do is to launch this world. If the world embraces this, we have a lot of ideas we want to do and sure we want Selina to continue," the filmmaker teased. "Their relationship and what they are to each other is, to me, that's the heart of the movie is the push-pull between the two of them and the way that she's going to evolve and where all of that will go so, we're talking about a lot of things."
"Of course, we're talking about a lot of things but we're about to release this movie and it really comes down to how people receive it," Reeves added, presumably referring to the rumoured spinoffs.
It makes sense that Warner Bros. wants to see how audiences react to The Batman before becoming too ambitious with these plans to expand Gotham City, though we'd bet the shows we know about are already taking shape. Getting any details out of Reeves at this point might be expecting a little much, especially as he no doubt wants to keep the focus on this movie right now.
Something tells us Kravitz has a bright future as Catwoman, though, so a spinoff might not be off the table (regardless of whether it's on the big or small screen).
The Batman is set to be released exclusively in theaters on March 4.
