Overview
- Responding to fans on Threads, James Gunn said he is waiting for an “actionable script” for The Brave and the Bold and cannot estimate timing.
- He stated he will not release two Batman movies in the same year and does not want to “cloud the Batsphere” before Reeves’ film arrives.
- Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II is slated for October 1, 2027 as an Elseworlds entry separate from the DCU, placing the DCU Batman after that date.
- Andy Muschietti remains attached to direct The Brave and the Bold, which is expected to introduce Batman alongside Damian Wayne as Robin based on prior guidance.
- Recent reporting on The Batman Part II notes Sebastian Stan as Harvey Dent, Scarlett Johansson in an undisclosed role, and Colin Farrell returning as the Penguin, while Gunn also said an unannounced DCU project is greenlit and Swaybox’s Dynamic Duo is progressing.
