The Brave and the Bold News and Discussion Thread

[SwordOfMorning]

I don't think it's necessarily an either-or type of situation. Dick Grayson can become Batman in Brave and the Bold while Bruce is presumed dead, only for him to return for Act III. Then, the status quo is set at the end with Bruce Wayne / Batman, Dick Grayson / Nightwing, and Damian Wayne / Robin.

Eh, I guess. I’d rather the commitment to breaking the status quo though. Less reset button, more pushing these stories and concepts forwards.

Reeves is old news let's focus on THE REAL Batman.

‘It’ Duo Andy and Barbara Muschietti, Skydance Launch Horror Label Nocturna (Exclusive)

The scares are coming out of the gate with 'They Will Kill You,' to be directed by Kirill Sokolov.

While they are developing a Batman movie called The Brave and the Bold at DC Studios, the duo have not yet committed to their next feature.

This reads to me that it's becoming more likely he won't be directing.

That does sound more like they’ll end up as producers to me as well.

 

[Boom]

Yeah that sounds like Stage 1 of disengagement.

I would much prefer this to having a DCU with no Bruce.

It's bad enough the last Shared universe Batman starts with a middle aged Bruce who barely resembled Batman at all.

IMO, let's actually get a shared universe with actual classic Batman, or something close to it, before anything else.

 

[solidsnake86]

Yeah... He definitely isn't directing.

Oh, without question, a connected DCU needs Bruce Wayne.

Writing's been on the wall for quite some time.

Probably for the project as a whole. I don't think they put it together anytime soon or they do what should be done and have Pattinson as the dcu batman with Reeves shepparding the batman side.

It just came out that they are developing a teen titans script. Which is funny because if rumours are to be believed that a young dick Grayson is supposed to appear in the batman part II that would be a perfect way to continue his story.

Good riddance. His It movies sucked too.

Eh. Never saw the 2nd but the 1st one is solid stuff.

It’s average at best. And borderline racist because he pretty much cut out all of Mike’s story and family history (and incredibly important part of the book) to keep more focus on the white kids.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

The first is basically alright, the second is genuinely painful and hard to sit through.

 

[emielaen]

But BIll Hader!

Was happy to see Chapter One explode like it did. But I found boring with the most generic "jump scares."

When my lovely love wife and I saw it, our screening was still packed. Had to have been the third weekend of release and we sat next to this older black woman whose own reactions made the film watchable. God bless her.

I too never bothered with Chapter Two after a pal attended a test screening and advised "Dude.. do not bother."

Wound up catching it on HBO Max and turned it off like 10 minutes.

 

[DeadlyWest]

Andy always seemed like the best director to do an MCU Batman movie.

Read into that what you will.
