Summary
I can’t seeThe Batman - Part IIusing a key part of the character’s mythos, whichThe Brave and the Boldis confirmed to focus on, and that makes me more excited about the newDC Universe’s version of the Dark Knight than the sequel toThe Batman. Don’t get me wrong,I’m a fan of Matt Reeves’The Batman, and I’m interested inThe Batman - Part II’s storyand whatever else the world has to offer, such as this year’sThe Penguinspinoff series. That said,The Brave and the Boldranks a step above for me.
So far, the DCU still has to reveal who will be penningThe Brave and the Bold’s storyor who will play the Dark Knight. That said, I’m confident that the movie will turn out great. While I had some problems with the DCEU’sThe Flashmovie, I thought there was more good than bad in it, andall Batman/Bruce Wayne scenes were handled very well by director Andy Muschietti, who has been announced to helm the DCU’s Batman reboot. I think the film is in good hands, and a revealed story detail makes me very excited about it.
10 Batman Movie Rumors Debunked By James Gunn
With a Batman reboot film for the new DCU and Robert Pattinson’s The Batman - Part II on the way, James Gunn has debunked several movie rumors.
I Am Thrilled That The DCU Is Giving Us The Bat-Family
The Team Is The Best Part Of Batman Comics
James Gunn, the DCU’s creative chief, has revealed that the Bat-Family will appear inThe Brave and the Bold.Damian Wayne will be an important part of the movie, with his relationship with Bruce Wayne being the Batman reboot’s driving force, while other members of the Bat-Family will play a role in the project. I’ve wanted to see a fully realized live-action version of the Bat-Family for years. The closest we have had to that was in DC’sTitansseries, which featured three versions of Robin and more characters. However, the show’s uneven quality held back the team’s potential.
Damian’s introduction means the core Bat-Family characters, like Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and more, should all be established in the DCU.
I love the dynamics that the Bat-Family members have among themselves in the comics and other media, and I wish to see the DCU make the most of them. Damian’s introduction means the core Bat-Family characters, like Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and more, should all be established in the DCU whenThe Brave and the Boldarrives. Seeing the overtly brooding Bruce interact with and mentor younger heroes is a great way to view the character’s many sides,making the DCU’s Batman more complexthan most live-action versions of the hero. The Bat-Family brings the best out of Batman.
New Batman Movie Popular Bat-Family Casting Choices Are The Perfect Opportunity For A Supernatural Reunion
Batman’s The Brave and the Bold movie will include the Bat-Family, and multiple Supernatural stars have shown interest in joining the DCU team.
I Can’t See Robin Appearing In The Batman - Part II
A Rumored Role Has Also Been Debunked
The Batman - Part IIwill continue the grounded universe that director Matt Reeves started with the original film. I don’t think a kid in a bright-colored costume will be appearing in that franchise to fight crime alongside Robert Pattinson’s Batman anytime soon. I just don’t seehow the gritty tone ofThe Batmanuniverse could fit the idea of introducing a Robin, even though I thought thatThe Batman’s endingcould have been used to set up Dick Grayson’s debut, as Batman became more of a hopeful figure for Gotham City.
James Gunn already debunked Robin’s appearance inThe Batman - Part II, putting that possible story path to rest. Last December, rumors emerged about how Dick Grayson’s Robin and Batman villains like Professor Pyg and Scarecrow would appear inThe Batman - Part II, to which Gunn responded by saying, “Nope. Totally made up.” Withthe Robin rumors shot downand the character not making sense tone-wise forThe Batman - Part II,The Brave and the Boldbecomes more interesting to me, as the DCU film is the one where I can finally see an ideal version of the Bat-Family in live-action.

James Gunn has teased Nightwing on social media, and there are certain actors who could do Dick Grayson right in the DCU Batman reboot movie and more.
I Think The DCU Can Bring The Most Comics-Accurate Batman To Life
There Are Already Enough Grounded Batman Stories
DC has explored plenty of grounded takes on Batman already, also using Batman’s first years for multiple projects, such as Christian Bale’s debut inBatman Beginsand Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne inThe Batman. I think we have had plenty of grounded and more realistic versions of the Dark Knight, and I hope the DCU will move in the opposite direction. I want to seeThe Brave and the Boldand the rest of the shared universe embrace aspects of Batman’s comic book stories, with more out-there villains like Clayface being used to their fullest.
Multiple Bat-Family characters have yet to make their debut in live-action movies.
I want to see a Batman who interacts with other heroes and lives in an expansive live-action comic book world. There is a lot of potential in the character’s interactions asa mentor to the Bat-Familyor as one of the leaders of the Justice League that live-action movies have yet to explore. With Pattinson’s Batman also early in his career inThe Batman - Part II, I hope we get a Batman in his late 30s or his 40s inThe Brave and the Bold, as that is the perfect age for a Batman with a whole Bat-Family.
