James Gunn: Blue-and-Grey Tops Fan Requests for DCU Batman as Story and Casting Take Priority

His update comes as The Brave and the Bold remains early in development with the lead uncast, with creative plans still evolving.

Overview

  • Gunn said fans most often ask for a blue-and-grey suit, followed by a yellow oval and white eye lenses, but he views those details as secondary to character, writing, and the actor.
  • The Brave and the Bold is positioned to introduce the DCU’s Batman with a story centered on Damian Wayne and influenced by Grant Morrison’s run.
  • Peter Safran has indicated the film will feature members of the wider Bat-family, addressing their absence from recent theatrical stories.
  • The role of Batman in the DCU has not been cast, and Robert Pattinson’s portrayal continues separately in Matt Reeves’ continuity.
  • Reports differ on whether Andy Muschietti remains attached to direct, with Gunn acknowledging the project has changed since it was first announced.
