Overview

  • Gunn told IGN he likes where The Brave and the Bold script stands, while emphasizing that multiple elements are still in flux.
  • He said numerous big-name actors have privately reached out to play Batman, and no casting decision has been made.
  • Pressed on Bruce’s age and Damian Wayne, Gunn said plans around Batman’s parentage have changed and urged audiences to wait for the film.
  • Gunn indicated he prefers not to release the DCU Batman in the same year as Reeves’ 2027 sequel and rejected rumors of a 2030–2031 date, with recent reporting suggesting 2028–2029 as a likely window.
  • Andy Muschietti remains linked as director pending a finished script, and this Batman will stay separate from Robert Pattinson’s Elseworlds version as Gunn prioritizes character and story over costume details.
