The Arkham Asylum TV series, which was set to expand on DC’s Batman universe, is reportedly no longer happening at Max.

Variety says the show will no longer be moving forward at the streamer. Antonio Campos had signed on as showrunner back in October 2022, but his version of the story will now no longer continue. The site’s sources add that a story set within Gotham’s twisted asylum could still come to fruition in the future.

RWBY has a new home following the closure of Rooster Teeth earlier this year.

Showrunner Kerry Shawcross and Yang Xiao Long voice actress Barara Dunkelman gave fans the news they’ve been waiting to hear since the company was shuttered in March in a post on X/Twitter. The duo says that a new deal with Viz Media will allow the anime-inspired series to live on under the company’s umbrella, which includes anime hits like Bleach, Death Note, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and more.

The former Rooster Teeth crew say they’re excited to work with Viz on the future of its beloved series.

“In talking with Viz, they’re also very excited about this,” Shawcross said. “They obviously care about where the show is now, but they also care about where it came from. And they want to make sure that we can continue this story.”

Dunkelman adds that the RWBY team is currently in talks with Viz about how the show will transition into the future, adding that they are “very hopeful for what’s to come.” In its own post, Viz notes that its relationship with the RWBY brand doesn’t start with the new deal. It previously handled a series of manga based on the show and also released The World of RWBY compendium book.

“We are grateful to the Rooster Teeth team for entrusting us with RWBY,” Viz said, “and we are excited to carry forward the legacy of the series.”

Viz will oversee production, distribution, licensing, consumer products, and more for the RWBY franchise. In the FAQ section of its post, the company outlines how the series will live on under its new roof. For starters, social media pages on X and Facebook will remain active while it explores the possibility of new chapters in its story. Shawcross will be involved in what comes next for RWBY, and as for RWBY Volumes 1-9, Viz says to “stay tuned for updates” on where it will be available to watch.

The breaks were pumped on Volume 10 when Rooster Teeth parent company Warner Bros. Discovery announced that it would shut down the 21-year-old business in March. In addition to RWBY, Rooster Teeth was responsible for a range of fan-favorite shows, including Red vs. Blue and gen:LOCK.

Rooster Teeth’s demise brought an end to a pioneering entity in the gaming content creation space, but RWBY, at least, will live on. For more, you can check out the trailer for the Red vs. Blue movie, which released in May.

Though no plot information about Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs movie has been revealed, we’re not completely in the dark on how the film will come together. In June, Deadline reported that the project had picked up two of 2023’s biggest breakout stars, Tom Blyth and Sophie Wilde. The former is best known for his portrayal in Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, though he’s also appeared in shows like Billy the Kid and The Gilded Age. Wilde terrified audiences with last year’s Talk to Me but has showed up in projects like Boy Swallows Universe and Everything Now, too.

Details on Blyth and Wilde’s roles in the Watch Dogs movie are unclear. The script’s original draft was handled by Christie LeBlanc, with new revisions overseen by Victoria Bata. New Regency CEO Yariv Milchan and company president of motion pictures and television Natalie Lehmann are attached as producers alongside Ubisoft head of content Margaret Boykin.

Watch Dogs exploded onto into gaming with the original Watch Dogs in 2014. The first installment in Ubisoft’s tech-centered told the story of Aiden Pearce, a hacker with the ability to manipulate technology in the environment around him. A sequel located in San Francisco was released in 2016, but the franchise most recently delivered a London-set entry with 2020’s Watch Dogs: Legion.

Ubisoft has been trying its best to get a Watch Dogs movie off the ground for more than a decade. While the project has finally found its footing, we’re still waiting to hear a release date. In the meantime, you can read about the latest news on the Assassin’s Creed series and the publisher’s The Division movie.
