Flash Director Andy Muschietti Plans To Direct New Batman Movie The Brave And The Bold

As Gunn mentioned when announcing 'The Brave and the Bold', the film is to be based on Grant Morrison's 2006-2012 'Batman' comic book series. standard for the Morrison avant-garde, the race encapsulates a large number of incidents, subplots, hallucinations and wild characters, but an ongoing element is that of the "Bat-Family", the catch-all term. all used to refer not only to the various Robins, but also to Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, Dick Grayson/Nightwing and others. Safran even specifically said earlier this year that the film "would feature other members of the extended Bat-Family simply because we feel like they've been left out of the Batman stories for too long. at the cinema".

After making waves with the relatively small supernatural horror film 'Mama', Muschietti made a splash with larger (in scope, size and budget) adaptations of Stephen King's 'It', with "It" and "It's Chapter Two." These films not only involve one cast of characters, but feature multiple actors playing different versions of those characters, much like "The Flash" with its parade of Flashes, Batmans, and Super-People. If "The Brave and the Bold" is to bring another cinematic Batman to the screen with the superhero's "extended family" for the first time, it only makes sense that WB/DC would want a director who knows both of these very well. aspects.

Only time will tell if any of this will happen: as of this writing, 'The Flash' is set to hit theaters, and the writer's strike is not yet over, so there are plenty of opportunities for things to change in the future. Still, if Gunn and Safran insist on expanding the DCU the way they want, Muschietti might still be their best bet to juggle all those Bat-Folks.
