Brave and Fearless Director Andy Muschietti has responded to speculation that Robert Pattinson’s Batman could join James Gunn’s DC Universe. As the first chapter of the DCU: Gods and Monsters gets underway, one project that continues to stir up controversy is Brave and Fearlessespecially when it comes to which Batman is actually used in DC Studios’ production. Due to numerous rumors and speculations batman The universe may be folded into the DCU, the filmmakers behind Brave and Fearless More information about this idea is being revealed.
In a new interview with RaidoTU, Andy Muschietti elaborates Brave and Fearless Movies still in development at DC Studios. Since there have been many theories about Pattinson’s Batman joining the DCU in some way, Muschietti clarified (as translated by @ReelAnarchy) that there will be a new actor playing the Caped Crusader:
Andy Muschietti: As we all know, the Batman in “Brave and the Bold” will belong to the new DC Universe. It’s clear that Matt Reeves’ Batman doesn’t belong in this new universe. However, DC and Warner Bros. are moving forward with production on the second installment of Reeves’ The Batman series, which is widely reported to be released around 2027.
This means it will be a while before the next Batman movie hits theaters. Releasing two Batman movies at the same time would be counterproductive. What DC is doing is developing a strategy to ensure the two movies don’t conflict with each other. Regarding my involvement in this project, my intentions are currently good. They wanted to make this movie with me, and I wanted to make it. I’m eager to work on this film.
Shortly before this, Matt Reeves recently commented on the possibility of Pattinson’s Batman being integrated into the DCU. Reeves said at the time, while adding that there were no plans. “It really depends on whether it makes sense,” But judging from Muschietti’s comments, that idea seems completely unfeasible.
Based on Muschietti’s widespread response to how the Caped Crusader would be introduced into the DCU, this should hopefully put to rest any notion that Pattinson would be making headlines Brave and Fearless Movie. There are a number of key factors to consider as to why Muschietti doesn’t want to use Pattinson’s Batman in his DCU movies. first, batman The universe began under the leadership of Reeves, a filmmaker who was largely responsible for the 2022 film being such a success and is currently moving forward with sequels and other spin-offs.
It’s also worth considering that the DCU has just unveiled The Batman , and the Dark Knight has a completely different body type and costume than Pattinson’s Bruce in Reeves’ universe. From a story perspective, the DCU’s Batman doesn’t match up to anything else batman The universe has been established to this point, as Reeves’ continuity is also more grounded in reality, while Gunn’s franchise is more fantastical. Brave and Fearless The film is also confirmed to focus on Bruce discovering the existence of his son Damian Wayne and include the Bat-Family built around him – none of which makes sense to Pattinson’s young Batman.
Thanks to Muschietti for the new comment Brave and Fearlessit will be exciting to see who he actually casts to play the next live-action Batman. and Brave and Fearless The movie has become one of DC Studios’ most anticipated projects, and time will tell who will actually play Batman in the DCU. Hope there will be more updates Brave and Fearless Movies will continue to appear throughout 2025 as, ideally, they will be closer to filming.

Brave and the Bold is the first Batman film in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe, rebooting the character after Ben Affleck’s take on the Dark Knight. It introduces Bruce Wayne’s son, Robin Damian Wayne, and draws inspiration from Grant Morrison’s work on the comic book character.
