Reeves is also the director of the new film, whose premiere had to be postponed by the coronavirus until October 1, 2021 after seeing its filming interrupted.
For its part, the series has no fixed title although specialized publications point to “Gotham Central”, which was already used in comics about the work of this city that, by the way, was already the scene of another series titled “Gotham” and based on the first steps of the DC Comics characters.
