Jeffrey Wright, who played Commissioner Jim Gordon in Matt Reeves’s The Batman, has now provided some insight on the scrapped Gotham PD series that was once in development for HBO. Set within Reeves’s The Batman universe, the series would have centered on a third generation Gotham cop who realizes he’s on the wrong side of the law. Boardwalk Empire showrunner and The Sopranos executive producer Terence Winter would have served as the show’s main creative lead before the project fell apart back in 2022.
