Warner Bros has all sorts of DC Gunniverse projects in development, at least for now. One of the wilder ones is DC Crime, a “true crime” documentary series staged in the style of a crime doc, but following the career of a fake character (in this case Gorilla Grodd). Jimmy Olsen was announced as the show’s central character because he was hosting the thing. But there are reports now the show has changed…and Grodd is commanding more of the screen.
Last weekend at the Supergirl premiere in Rio de Janeiro, DC Studios chief honcho Peter Safran mentioned to a member of the press that “the Gorilla Grodd show starts shooting this year…Big news, by the way, I probably shouldn’t have said that.” But he did and now we know. There’s a high chance plans have changed, Jimmy is fired and it’s all Grodd’s show now.
Safran was asked about a new Justice League movie, but said there are no current plans for such a thing. “”We know eventually [we’ll] head in that direction, but we really are just talking about those projects we’ve announced: Supergirl, Lanterns for HBO, Clayface this fall, Man of Tomorrow, The Batman Part 2, [and] we’re gonna do Brave and the Bold introducing Batman into the DCU.” This is your reminder that The Batman Part II uses a different Batman.
As far as we know, Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda are still head writers, producers and showrunners of the Gorilla Grodd project, whatever it winds up being called. Shooting and ape rendering starts later this year.
