HBO Max Developing DC Crime Series Starring Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen

Everyone loved Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen in Superman this year, right? I know I did. And now it seems we’ll be getting more Olsen with Deadline reporting that HBO Max and DC Studios are working on another Superman spin-off, this one reportably titled ‘DC Crime,’ which will put Jimmy Olsen in the lead role.

In their report, Deadline says the series is billed as being “akin to a true crime docuseries with Jimmy Olsen from Superman hosting,” which is a unique pitch. The first season would supposedly focus on one of The Flash’s big baddies, Gorilla Grodd. The series is from Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, the creators of American Vandal on Netflix, so tonally, it makes a bit more sense once you start adding up all the elements. 

Would you be keen to watch DC Crime? Or does the pitch not work for you? Let me know in the comments section below.
