DC"s Batman Reboot Director Is Good News For The Movie"s Biggest Gamble

Summary

• The inclusion of Damian Wayne as Robin in The Brave and the Bold poses a major risk to the film and the DCU's iteration of Batman, as casting and writing for young actors can be challenging.
• Director Andy Muschietti's previous experience with an ensemble cast of teens in It Chapter One proves that he can handle young actors excellently, making him an excellent match for directing Damian Wayne in The Brave and the Bold.
• Muschietti's work on The Flash, which featured two iterations of Batman and showcased epic action scenes, suggests that he is well-equipped to accurately depict Batman and Robin on film in The Brave and the Bold.

The DC Universe version of Batman will debut in the forthcoming The Brave and the Bold, whose announced director bodes well for the film. Batman is DC and WB’s most successful superhero in cinemas, with Ben Affleck due to be recast in the DCU, which is a soft-reboot of the old DC Extended Universe. This upcoming iteration of Batman will co-star with the Damian Wayne version of Robin in The Brave and the Bold, which has been described by James Gunn as a “father and son story.”
The Brave and the Bold is still quite early in development, but Andy Muschietti has been confirmed as the film’s director. Muschietti, who is known for the It duology, directed his first superhero film in the old DCEU. His film, The Flash, was a loose adaptation of Flashpoint, telling a tragic and emotionally resonant story centering on Barry Allen, yet the film also celebrates DC’s history of film and TV adaptations, featuring both the Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton iterations of Batman, due to its multiversal premise. While the movie itself was controversially received, Muschietti’s directorial experience suggests that one risky element of the upcoming DC movie release will be handled well.
