As a film aficionado, I’m thrilled to share that in the year 2023, DC Studios’ co-chairmen, James Gunn and Peter Safran, unveiled a fresh take on Batman through the movie titled The Brave and the Bold. This new story will introduce us to the Batman and Robin duo of the DC Universe – none other than Bruce Wayne and his son, Damian Wayne. James Gunn confirmed at the time that this is a brand-new chapter for the DCU’s Batman, featuring none other than Bruce Wayne himself. He also made it clear that Robert Pattinson and Ben Affleck will not be reprising their roles in this father-son dynamic duo.
Gunn and the filmmaker behind “The Batman”, Matt Reeves, have indeed discussed the possibility of merging Reeves’ Batman Epic Crime Saga into Gunn and Safran’s emerging DC Universe. This would make Pattinson the DCU’s Batman. However, in an interview with Radio TU, director Andy Muschietti clarified that it will become quite clear that the Batman in “The Brave and the Bold” is distinct from the Batman in “The Batman: Part II”.
Due to a delay in Reeves’ sequel from 2026 to 2027, Muschietti stated that it will likely be some time before “The Brave and the Bold” hits theaters, as he considers it illogical to release two Batman films simultaneously.
The director of “The Flash” movie shared that DC Studios is devising a strategy to allow “The Batman 2” and “The Brave and the Bold” to share the same universe without merging their stories. Regarding his involvement in the film, Muschietti stated that there are positive plans in motion. “I aim to direct the movie,” he added, “and we’re discussing ideas, storylines, and tone. I can’t reveal anything just yet, but what I can assure you is that it’s going to be fantastic.
Andy and Barbara Muschietti, known for their work on 2017’s IT and 2019’s IT Chapter Two, are working on a live-action film adaptation of the 2006 “Batman & Son” storyline from Grant Morrison’s Batman series.
In 2023, it was mentioned that Damian Wayne’s story is unique because he didn’t know Batman was his father until later in life, and during the first eight to ten years, he was trained as a killer. This character is Gunn’s favorite Robin. The narrative is inspired by the Grant Morrison comic series, one of Gunn’s preferred Batman stories, and they are currently piecing it together.
Since Batman is a well-known crime-fighter within the DC Universe, “The Brave and the Bold” will showcase additional members of Batman’s extended family. We believe that these characters have been overlooked in Batman-centric films at movie theaters for quite some time.
In “Batman & Son,” Tim Drake has taken over the role of Robin from Dick Grayson (now Nightwing). He finds himself butting heads with Damian, the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul. This four-issue story, spanning Batman issues 655 to 658, also includes appearances by the Joker and a horde of Man-Bats, who are ninjas.
Gunn recently expressed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he’s thought about incorporating Pattinson’s Batman into the more magical DCU. He mentioned, “I consider everything, we discuss everything. It would be foolish not to.” However, Gunn and DC Studios are dedicated to telling standalone stories like Reeves’ universe, which now includes The Penguin.
Gunn expressed a desire to have creative liberty to explore alternate universe tales, stating, ‘We aim to narrate a story where Superman exhibits distinct qualities compared to his regular DC Universe character.’ We’re excited to experiment with these characters in fresh ways. One aspect that appeals to me about DC comics is the abundance of Elseworlds stories, which offer numerous interpretations of Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman. I believe this diversity makes the DC universe more intriguing.
During the DC Studios slate reveal in 2023, Safran stated that ‘The Batman’ isn’t a foster child but rather part of the larger DC family. He emphasized our commitment to its success just as we are with everything else. Moreover, Gunn noted that the release schedule will ensure ‘The Brave and the Bold’ doesn’t come out at the same time as ‘The Batman [2]’, aiming for a balanced approach.
Warner Brothers has announced that “The Batman 2” is slated for release on October 1, 2027. As of now, “The Brave and the Bold” doesn’t have a set date, and the project won’t be given the go-ahead until a script has been finalized.
