Gunn: Batman Will Mentor Damian Wayne

DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn said The Brave and the Bold now has a “really, really good story” and will center on an older Bruce Wayne mentoring his son Damian Wayne/Robin. Gunn confirmed he has actors “at the top of the list” and that a “pretty big star” has expressed interest, but emphasized no casting decision has been made and the script is still being finished. He stressed that character and story matter more than costume details and that even high-profile names must fit his vision, citing the careful casting that led to David Corenswet as Superman. Andy Muschietti is widely reported as the film’s director, and Gunn reiterated this Batman will be separate from Matt Reeves’ Batman universe as it ties into the wider DCU rollout.
