Zach Cregger reports no movement on Gotham-set Henchman script

Director Zach Cregger has clarified the status of his Batman-adjacent spec script, titled ‘Henchman’. Despite previous industry buzz, Cregger stated that there has been no movement or active progress on the project from DC Studios.

The script is set in Gotham City and reportedly follows a low-level criminal who accidentally incapacitates Batman, gaining unexpected notoriety within the criminal underworld. While Cregger expressed continued enthusiasm for the concept, the project has not been officially announced as part of the DC Studios slate by James Gunn or Peter Safran, nor has it been greenlit or placed into formal development.
