It Seems Like James Gunn and Andy Muschietti Need to Get on the Same Page about THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD
Last week, director Andy Muschietti said on a podcast that his DC Studios Batman movie The Brave and the Bold has been "postponed a little bit," and that he “might do another film before that.”
Well, James Gunn responded to that when a fan asked him about it on social media. Gunn responded: "The Brave and the Bold hasn’t been delayed so I’m not sure what you’re talking about."
It seems to me that there is some miscommunication going on, and Gunn and Muschietti should get on the same page because it could make things messy and get fans riled up.
Gunn has emphasized the importance of nailing the script before moving forward with any project saying:
"There’s no set timeline for anything. The one thing that I’ve tried to make clear to people from the beginning, in the way that I hope we're different, is that everything in DC is going to be based on the writers. Until we have a screenplay that I’m totally happy with, that movie is not going to get made, no matter what it is."
Gunn’s vision for the DCU prioritizes storytelling above all else, and his remarks suggest that The Brave and the Bold is still in the early stages of development.
He highlighted recent successes with scripts like Supergirl and the Lanterns series, noting, “Once The Brave and the Bold gets to that point, then we’ll make the movie.”
The project is said to be inspired by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s acclaimed Batman and Robin comics. The story will focus on Bruce Wayne’s relationship with his son Damian, training him as Robin while navigating the complex dynamics of fatherhood and vigilantism.
