The Batman -elokuvan ohjaaja ja käsikirjoittaja Matt Reeves muovailee myös sivuaskelsarjaa Arkham Asylum. Tarkoitus oli keskittyä Gotham Cityn poliisilaitokseen, mutta jossain matkan varrella suunnitelma muuttui. The Cyber Nerdsin haastattelussa selvisi, että tulossa on jotain kauhua muistuttavaa.
"The GCPD thing, that story has story has kind of evolved. We've actually now moving more into the realm of exactly what would happen in the world of Arkham as it relates coming off of our movie, and some of the characters, again in their origins [...] It's like a horror movie or a haunted house that is Arkham.
Again, the way that Gotham is a character in the movie, I really want Arkham to exist as a character, so that you go into this environment and encounter these characters in a way that feels really fresh. And so in our work on Gotham, that story started to evolve, and it started feeling like, 'Wait, we should really lean into this.' And that's kind of where that's gone."
