James Gunn Says He’s “Very Involved” in DCU’s THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD – Script in the Works

While most DC fans have been waiting for Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II, whihc is still a few years out, there’s another Batman movie in development with The Brave and the Bold, the DCU’s own take on the Dark Knight.

James Gunn, who’s been busy shaping the future of the DCU and launching it with Superman, recently gave a small but reassuring update about the Batman project during a conversation in London.

“There’s really no new updates,” Gunn said when asked about The Brave and the Bold. “I mean, we’re working on a script. We have a screenwriter who’s hammering away at it. I’m very involved, and so, you know, we’ll see what happens next. I wish I had more news for you, but I don’t.”

It’s not much, but at least it’s in active development, with Gunn keeping a close eye on the direction.

Interestingly, he also shared that he has Reeves’ The Batman: Part II script on hand: “But luckily, I’ve got The Batman 2 script in my backpack, and I’m about to read it.”

Two very different Batman films. Two different universes. And both of them are being nurtured with care. One is a gritty noir-driven sequel continuing Pattinson’s journey, and the other, The Brave and the Bold, is expected to introduce a new Batman alongside his son Damian Wayne, all set within Gunn and Safran’s broader DCU reboot.

While concrete details are still under wraps, it’s clear Gunn is deep in the Batcave on this one.
