With Andy Muschietti set to reinvent Batman for James Gunn’sDC Universe, the filmmaker reveals new details aboutThe Brave and The Boldstory’s development.The DCU’s Chapter 1: “Gods and Monsters” movie and TV showsline-up is underway, with different projects in various stages of development and production. In the case of DC Studios' Batman reboot,The Brave and The Bold, it’s unclear when the film is actually going to happen.
During a new interview withRadioTU(translated byComic Book Movie), Muschietti gave some new updates onThe Brave and The Boldfilm, which is still going forward at DC Studios. While he couldn’t go too deep into story details,Muschietti opened up on where the plot has been at in terms of his collaboration with Gunn, stating the following:
I’ve had conversations with James Gunn about the story concept, but we haven’t talked since before Superman began filming.
What Andy Muschietti’s The Brave And The Bold Story Comments Mean For The DCU’s Batman Movie
While Muschietti didn’t elaborate further on his lastThe Brave and The Boldconversation with Gunn,the aspect of the two not having discussed the Batman reboot since 2024 - whenSupermanbegan filming - isn’t necessarily something to get too worried about. With DC Studios, Gunn and his co-CEO Peter Safran have made it clear that no DCU movie or TV show will be rushed until the script and creative vision have been finalized. As of right now, there is no known writer attached toThe Brave and The Boldmovie, which may suggest that they are still meeting with scribes for pitches.
Since Muschietti has also been busy with other projects, it makes sense why other DCU properties have gone forward,includingSupergirl: Woman of TomorrowandLanterns,as they got further into their creative process, including landing their respective casts. No release date or script being in place also explains whythe DCU’s Batman castinghasn’t started yet, asThe Brave and The Boldcould come later in Chapter 1: “Gods and Monsters.” Given Batman’s importance to DC, it makes sense to take proper time developing the character, rather than rushing into something that could lead to negative results.
Our Take On Andy Muschietti’s The Brave And The Bold Story Comments
Time will tell how much furtherThe Brave and The Boldwill get in its development throughout 2025, especially as more DCU movies and TV shows are set to come out this year. SinceRobert Pattinson won’t be the Batman ofThe Brave and The Bold, it will be fascinating to see who will actually be cast as the Dark Knight in Gunn’s DCU, and how the creative team will finalize their vision for whoever they hire. Hopefully, there will be some exciting updates onThe Brave and The Boldas 2025 progresses forward.
