Appearing on Kevin Smith’s Fatman Beyond podcast, “Gotham Central” writer Ed Brubaker revealed that the focus of the upcoming “The Batman” spin-off show will be Jim Gordon, played by Jeffrey Wright. “I was like, ‘Maybe they’re really going to make Gotham Central this time,’ and so I reached out to a producer who works for Matt Reeves and he says, ‘No, that’s not really Gotham Central’. They’re making sure that they don’t call it Gotham Central and it’s more of a spinoff from the movie. It’s like the James Gordon show.”
Over the weekend, Australian actor Dominic Purcell revealed that he won’t be returning to “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”. Over a couple of social media posts that set the net afire, the former “Prison Break” actor hinted that he’s departed the show on sour terms. “Deal isn’t done. I have no interest. What ever cash they throw on the corporate level. Im walking away”, Purcell said in a first post. He later added that much of that post was said in jest. “I use cus words cause I do and I’m Australian🤣It’s who I am. Do I have a beef with the studio at @warnerbrostv no. Yes I said they don’t care. That’s not correct of course they do— just me being emotional and over stuff. We work we all work in a big machine.” (Both posts have now been removed)
