To write a Batman movie one must be brave and bold \u2014 just ask Matt Reeves and Mattson Tomlin, who only finished The Batman Part II<\/a>‘s script a few short months ago. To write DC Studios’ upcoming The Brave And The Bold<\/a> Batman movie then surely requires even more bravery, even more boldness… and today, two and a half years on from learning that Andy Muschietti would be directing Batman and Robin’s DCU debut<\/a>, we now who’s bravely and boldly taking on that task. Per THR<\/a>‘s reporting, Birds Of Prey<\/a> and The Flash<\/a> scribe Christina Hodson has officially been tapped to write The Brave And The Bold.<\/p>\n

One of the first movies announced when DC Studios head honchos James Gunn and Peter Safran revealed their ‘Gods And Monsters<\/a>‘ slate three years ago, The Brave And The Bold \u2014 an adaptation of Grant Morrison’s acclaimed comic book run \u2014 is expected to introduce the ‘Bat-family’ to the DCU. For those less familiar with the comics, TBATB chiefly centres around Damian Wayne, a Robin who is in fact Bruce Wayne’s actual son \u2014 albeit a son Bruce didn’t know about for the first decade of his life, and a son who’s a highly proficient murder-slash-assassin. It’s a duo dynamic for the Dynamic Duo quite unlike anything we’ve seen in live-action Batman movies before, and as such THR notes both that Hodson has been working on the project since last year, and also that a proper draft may be some way off yet as DC’s top brass take ‘a measured approach’ to bringing the comics to cinematic life.<\/p>\n

With IT: Welcome To Derry<\/a> having proven a bit of a mega-hit for Andy Muschietti at the tail end of last year, we can’t be 100% certain that the scheduling gods will still allow for The Flash director to helm The Brave And The Bold \u2014 a movie that, by all accounts, has proven a bit of a tough nut to crack for Gunn and co. But with Hodson \u2014 a writer with real genre nous and proven DC bona fides \u2014 now officially aboard as writer, we’re hopeful that The Brave And The Bold’s bat-signal will be getting (green)lit very soon (and, dare we dream, some concrete Batman and Robin casting news to follow it.) In the meantime, hit the books Bat-fans and read the comics: they’re absolutely superb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To write a Batman movie one must be brave and bold \u2014 just ask Matt Reeves and Mattson…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":384204,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-384203","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
