It’s been a long road, but there finally appears to be movement on DC Studios’ The Brave and the Bold. The film is meant to properly introduce Batman to James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU, following his cameo in Creature Commandos. A promising aspect of the project is that it’s meant to pair the Dark Knight\u00a0and Robin in live-action for the first time since 1997. The Boy Wonder\u00a0expected to star\u00a0is Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne’s biological son. Brave and the Bold was part of DC Studios’ initial slate announcement. It was later revealed\u00a0that The Flash’s Andy Muschietti had been tapped to direct<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following that, development seemed to slow down significantly. That, paired with the swift announcements of new projects like Clayface, Man of Tomorrow and the\u00a0Jimmy Olsen series<\/a>\u00a0led some\u00a0to speculate that, perhaps, the film\u00a0had fallen by the wayside. That, however, does not seem to be the case. Apocalyptic Horseman<\/a>, from Nexus Point News, gave a Q&A on X. When asked about updates on The Brave and the Bold, he\u00a0revealed that, pending a finished script, the movie is eyeing to\u00a0start production in 2027:<\/p>\n

“They hope to shoot [The\u00a0Brave and the Bold]\u00a0in 2027, but that all comes down to them nailing the script down, and they’ve already switched writers, so we’ll see.”<\/p>\n

They hope to shoot BATB in 2027 but that all comes down to them nailing the script down and they\u2019ve already switched writers so we\u2019ll see<\/p>\n

In another tweet<\/a>, he added that the film would start shooting in 2027 “at the earliest,” since it is still at\u00a0the scripting stage. In another response, he stated production could “easily” be pushed to\u00a02028:<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Yeah but it\u2019s not something set in stone. It could easily push to 2028<\/p>\n

The scooper then clarified<\/a> that the film getting another screenwriter was not a recent development. That bit is interesting\u00a0since, while speaking to GamesRadar, Gunn stated he was working<\/a> closely with a writer to get the script ready:\u00a0“There’s really no new updates.\u00a0I 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.” <\/p>\n

Assuming Horseman’s\u00a0claim is accurate, it’s unclear whether the\u00a0purported new writer is the one Gunn was talking about, or if the script has changed hands. The scooper\u00a0also provided a tentative release window for the film based on what he’s\u00a0heard. In response to a user speculating The Brave and the Bold\u00a0would drop in winter 2028, the scooper stated he believed it could\u00a0release\u00a0in December 2028: “I think December 2028 is more likely [to be honest].”\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

I think December 2028 is more likely tbh<\/p>\n

Assuming the movie starts shooting in late 2027, it could, in theory, comfortably land in December 2028. Realitically speaking, though, that may\u00a0be the earliest the film could come out depending on two major factors.\u00a0#1:\u00a0The state of the\u00a0script. #2:\u00a0When production starts. DC Studios movies\u00a0have so far favored\u00a0wide\u00a0(yet, still industry standard) gaps between shooting and release.<\/p>\n

Superman, for example, started filming in February 2024<\/a>, 16 months before its July 2025 release.\u00a0Production for Supergirl began in January 2025<\/a>, 18 months before its June 2026 premiere date.\u00a0Man of Tomorrow is expected to start shooting in April 2026<\/a>, 15 months before its planned July 2027 release date.\u00a0The film with the tightest filming-to-release turnaround is Clayface, which started production<\/a>\u00a0around September 2025 ahead of its September 2026 premiere. Clayface, however, is a much more low-maintenance film in terms of special effects and IP relevance when compared to the likes of Superman and\u00a0Batman.<\/p>\n

Taking those aspects into account, The\u00a0Brave and the Bold\u00a0will likely follow\u00a0the production trend established by the Man of Steel and Supergirl.\u00a0With that, its\u00a0release date will depend\u00a0on when the script is finished, when casting starts, and when it goes behind the cameras. There is technically enough time to have the script finished by early to mid-2026\u00a0and get casting going\u00a0around then, which would, in turn, mean\u00a0the cast could be set by early 2027.<\/p>\n

If that happens, the movie could start filming midway through the year, to be released by the end of 2028. That, however, assumes ideal conditions for every step of the process. Thus, December 2028 might be a fairly optimistic outlook. Depending on how things go in development, Brave and the Bold could even\u00a0end up coming out in 2029. As of now, though, everything hinges on the script being completed. Therefore, it’s best to await news on the screenplay to get a better idea of when the film could be coming out.<\/p>\n

DC Studios’ next chapter, Supergirl, releases on June 26, 2026. Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader will return\u00a0in The Batman: Part II, scheduled for release on October 1, 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n
