James Gunn Says DCU’s The Brave and the Bold Now Has a “Really, Really Good” Batman Story

DC Studios is sticking to its script-first approach before giving the film a formal greenlight.

Overview

  • Gunn shared the update on the 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast, stressing that character and story take precedence over costume debates.
  • The film is expected to center on Bruce Wayne and his son Damian Wayne, who will appear as Robin.
  • Gunn cited darker 1970s Batman comics and their supernatural atmosphere as a personal touchstone for the tone.
  • Andy Muschietti remains attached to direct the project as previously announced.
  • Casting has not been decided and there is no release date, with Gunn noting he has preferred candidates and that a well-known actor has expressed interest.
