The spin-off series of James Gunn\u2019s \u201cSuperman\u201d film, one putting the focus on Skyler Gisondo\u2019s Jimmy Olsen character and others at the Daily Planet, appears ot have a title.<\/p>\n

The project was first reported last year with the project under consideration and said to be a crime anthology series with the Daily Planet reporter investigating various supervillains.<\/p>\n

The series would also serve as an introduction to several other DC Comics metahuman characters. The show reportedly has \u201cAmerican Vandal\u201d co-creators Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda on board to write, executive produce and showrunners.<\/p>\n

One report late last year suggested the show would go by the name \u201cDC Crime\u201d which Gunn himself shot down very quickly, saying that was never ever under consideration, but did confirm the Jimmy Olsen show was real.<\/p>\n

Now, a listing on the Writer\u2019s Guilde of America website (via A Geek\u2019s Viewpoint<\/a> & CBM<\/a>) reveals that the show has landed a title \u2013 \u201cAmerican Villain\u201d. Gunn and Peter Safran will executive produce.<\/p>\n

The series is expected to mark Gorilla Grodd\u2019s live-action DCU debut after briefly popping up in \u201cCreature Commandos\u201d. Perrault previously called it a \u201ccrime mystery comedy\u201d series.<\/p>\n

Gisondo will also return for \u201cMan of Tomorrow\u201d which is currently filming in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
