Milioti is also popular for portraying Tracy McConnell in the CBS show How I Met Your Mother. Apart from The Penguin, HBO Max has two other planned spinoffs. The first, an untitled GCPD series, will be set before the events of The Batman. The series will follow a corrupt cop as he struggles to do the right thing. At the moment, the project is on indefinite hold. The second planned spinoff is an untitled Arkham series. This project will be based on the Arkham State Hospital and will examine the history of the different characters that are related to it. By the way, Warner Bros. Pictures still hasn’t greenlit a sequel to The Batman despite its resounding success at the box office. In other DC comics-related news, the director of Shazam! 2 recently revealed that the film is ready. Shazam! 2 is scheduled for a March 2023 release. At the moment, little is known about the planned limited series. However, there are reports it will start filming in February 2023.
