While projects prepared for the Batman character in the DC universe are coming one after another, a new statement came from James Gunn. Stating that the script work for the production called The Brave and the Bold is ongoing, Gunn emphasized that he has taken on a more direct role in this film. The film will take place in the “Gods and Monsters” period, the first phase of the DCU.
Batman: The Brave And The Bold is in the Script Stage
Gunn said in an interview that “We have a writer working on the script for The Brave and the Bold. I am also directly involved in the process.” The cast has not been announced yet, but Andy Muschietti, known for The Flash, will sit in the director’s chair. The film will center on a father-son story involving Bruce Wayne and his son Damian Wayne.
It has also been clarified that Robert Pattinson’s Batman character will not be in this film. Pattinson will only be exclusive to The Batman series directed by Matt Reeves. Reeves’ sequel to this series, The Batman 2, will be evaluated under the DC Elseworlds label.
