Jimmy Olsen-Centered TV Spinoff Will NOT Be Called “DC Crime”

Article arrow_drop_down

DC Studios co-head James Gunn has confirmed that the Jimmy Olsen-centered HBO Max spinoff from Superman will not be called and has never been called “DC Crime,” despite early reports.

J”ust FYI there has never been a project titled ‘DC Crim'” in development, not even as a working title. I don’t know where that came from but it’s weird,” Gunn said in a comment on Threads. He did, however, point out that the wrong title doesn’t mean all of the rest of the story is false.

Apparently, people have come up to Gunn in everyday life and said “I can’t wait for DC Crime!” and Gunn himself didn’t know what they were talking about.
