Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, who created the award-winning mockumentary American Vandal, are going into the DC Universe.
The duo will write, executive produce and showrun the Superman movie TV spinoff to star Skyler Gisondo, the actor who played Daily Planet photographer and unlikely ladies’ man Jimmy Olsen.
Gisondo and the character became a true breakout from James Gunn’s summer movie, and a show was put into development around him. The concept centers on Olsen, as well as other Daily Planet reporters (minus Lois Lane and Clark Kent), who tackle cases involving super-powered villains.
Gorilla Grodd would be in the spotlight for the season. Grodd is a super-intelligent evil ape who rules a secret African city named Gorilla City. The character is a key antagonist for the Flash, and first appeared in an issue of the Scarlet Speedster’s comics back in 1959. He was created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino.

James Gunn saw how much everyone hated the surplus of shows Marvel put out with fringe characters that felt like they became required watching which ultimately started tanking their box office returns and audience appeal and said yep, we need that over here.

HBO has confirmed DC Crime will be the only show on HBO going forward.

Jimmy Olsen has already been race swapped, so if they don’t go that route again we’ll either get standard white guy Jimmy, but he’ll be led around by girl bosses of color
And they’ll be “educating” him at least every other episode.
Or gay Jimmy, because current day.

I'm kind of shock they're going with that. You just know some folks are not gonna be happy about an African city named Gorilla City

Did Bruno Heller make enough money being a senior vice president at HBO that he doesn't have to work anymore? Wish he'd do DC stuff again. I loved Gotham.

I know I’m in the minority but I dislike that actor and didn’t like his portrayal of Jimmy

One of the few things they did right with The Flash on CW was Gorilla Grodd. I was indifferent on this show before. Now I’m looking forward to it.
