Nearly two years ago, DC Studios’ co-chairs James Gunn and Peter Safran gave fans the first look at a group of planned projects that would make up part of the studio’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters slate. Creature Commandos has gotten the all-new DCU off to a solid start and the first teaser for Superman has generated some incredible buzz for the 2025 film. As for the rest of the slate, Gunn has made it clear that it is nothing if not pliable, as Clayface, a project left out of the initial reveal, having come together very quickly, jumping in front of others. And now, following months of speculation, one project has been confirmed to be facing a delay.
According to director Andy Muschetti, DC Studio’s Batman and Robin movie, The Brave and the Bold, won’t be heading into production anytime soon and “won’t be happening for a while.”
Muschetti boarded The Brave and the Bold in June 2023. Described by Gunn as “a very strange sort of father-son story,” The Brave and the Bold will reportedly introduce the DCU’s new Batman alongside his son, Damian, and will also “feature other members of the extended Bat-Family just because we feel like they’ve been left out of the Batman stories in the theater for far too long.”
Despite being one of the first projects revealed to the public, Gunn recently clarified that “there’s no set timeline for anything,” and that The Brave and the Bold, like every DC Studios’ project, will only be given a green light there’s a screenplay that he is “totally happy with.”
