Superman to save the day, Bane (James Adomian) wages war against the AI robots in Metropolis, with everyone getting in the way of an evil plan hatched by Superman villain Brainiac (Stephen Fry).

In a November interview with ScreenRant, executive producer and writer Dean Lorey suggested another possible spin-off from what he calls the Harleyverse:

Or we can wash off the stain Joker: Folie à Deux left in our eyes, allowing Alan Tudyk to make his own show as a killer conman.
