  • Second Game Crash?

    Nintendo, once the company that saved gaming, is now facing backlash for filing patents that could let it claim ownership over common gameplay mechanics, sparking fears it could stifle creativity and harm both major studios and indie developers alike.

  • So… Doctor Who Just Regenerated Into Rose Tyler?

    According to writer Robert Shearman, the 15th Doctor’s regeneration into Billie Piper has basically put a full stop on the entire Doctor Who story. That’s a wild way to end things if he’s right. After all these years, do you think this is a fitting way to close the loop or does it feel more like the show’s run out of ideas?

As part of his Gods and Monsters early pitch after joining the MCU, James Gunn said the Arkham Show was one of his favorites. However, while speaking to Boba Talks, he confirmed that the show is not being developed by anyone at the DCU, and I actually think they are missing something important here.
In my opinion, the Arkham show would have been the DCU's behind-the-scenes view of Gotham. I mean, after watching Sofia Falcone in Penguin, I really got curious about Arkham and thought this show would expose a new side of the DC Universe that hasn't been shown on the screen yet. There is almost no DC villain that isn't linked to Arkham in one way or another, so why not show us one of the roots to the city's villainy.
However, he also confirmed that Lanterns in a central character to the DCU and that events in the show have significant connection to the whole Universe, so I'm thrilled for it.

Yeah, that’s a miss. Arkham would’ve been an easy way to show the Gotham side of the world without dragging Batman into every scene. After Penguin, it felt like the perfect follow-up.

Lanterns being a core piece is fine, I just don’t see why they couldn’t run both. Arkham would’ve been one of the few DCU shows people would actually check out on day one.
