James Gunn Teases Strong Story For Batman’s DCU Debut In The Brave and Bold<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

James Gunn has teased there is a \u201creally, really good story” for The Brave and the Bold. The upcoming superhero blockbuster will be Batman\u2019s cinematic introduction in the DC Universe (DCU), and Gunn, 59, has now revealed good progress on The Brave and the Bold is being made. During an appearance on the 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast, he said: \u201cI think we have a really, really good story now for what\u2019s happening with Batman.”<\/p>\n

The Brave and the Bold \u2013 which will be helmed by The Flash director Andy Muschietti \u2013 is expected to follow the Dark Knight as he fights crime in Gotham City with his son Damian Wayne, AKA Robin. Gunn was also asked whether the Caped Crusader would wear his more traditional blue and grey suit in The Brave and the Bold, though the Superman director stressed he didn\u2019t think the look of Batman was that important.<\/p>\n

He explained, \u201cThere\u2019s a religious aspect to some of this stuff that\u2019s very uncomfortable. Should Batman have white eyes? That\u2019s a big subject of conversation. It\u2019s like, \u2018Guys, that\u2019s really what matters?\u2019 But those are the things they care about. Should his utility belt be yellow? Should he have the yellow crest around the bat? All of that sort of stuff. None of those things are what\u2019s most important to me. What matters is the character, the story.”<\/p>\n

Gunn added he liked all versions of Batman from his appearances in the DC comics and on screen.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI think that\u2019s one of the fun things about Batman though, is that there are so many expressions of Batman that are cool, and [having] different ways to access that character is one of the ways in which he\u2019s so iconic. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a matter of the blue and the grey or the black Batman. I think both those things are really cool. I like the detective Batman, but I also really like the fighter Batman, that\u2019s just the brute that\u2019s, you know, fighting. I like the silly \u201950s Silver Age Batman, with Bat-Mite. I like all of these different versions of Batman.”<\/p>\n

So far, there has been no confirmation as to who will be playing Batman in the Brave and the Bold, though several actors have thrown their hat into the ring.<\/p>\n

Jensen Ackles recently said he would be open to playing the Dark Knight, though stressed it would be \u201chard to carve out something truly unique” if he were to take on the role.<\/p>\n

When Collider asked The Boys star if he would want to play Batman, he said, \u201cOh, man. I don\u2019t know. It would be hard to carve out something truly unique amongst all of the performances as Batman. I would probably have to lean heavily on Gunn and whoever\u2019s directing and whoever\u2019s writing it, and get inspiration from the text.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Alan Ritchson also expressed interest in donning the cowl in The Brave and the Bold. During an appearance in WIRED\u2019s Autocomplete Interview video series, he said: \u201cWould I play Batman? Yes. Would I pay handsomely to be Batman? You wouldn\u2019t even have to pay me to be Batman.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would, yeah, I would don the suit. [In a Batman voice] \u2018Gotham is mine.\u2019 Look at that. I don\u2019t even have to practice. It just comes out naturally.”<\/p>\n
