Has FOX plans to go down the Arrow route and expand its DC TV universe?
We’re hearing rumblings that Gotham may be set for the ‘expanded universe’ treatment with a possible spinoff down the road. FOX Chairman and CEO Gary Newman has said that FOX would certainly be keen to explore the world of Gotham in a new road but it has to go through DC first: “We’re really happy with the creative on Gotham this year,” he said.
“We thought the Rise of the Villains has been great, and it feels like a world that has many, many stories to tell. We haven’t had any conversations with Warners about whether or not they’d want to do a spinoff series. I think that would be an issue for DC. It isn’t quite clear to me that they’d be ready to do that, but it’s a good idea.”
Now this isn’t really much to go on but it certainly seems the seed of an idea is there and, given how vastly the show improved from season 1 to season 2, we would certainly love to see something else come along… what, however, is a whole different conversation. Metropolis, anyone?
Gotham: Season 2 returns on February 29th .

He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
