So, here’s the deal – Andy Muschietti was all set to bring us the long-awaited Batman: The Brave and The Bold reboot. But now, it looks like the project has hit a roadblock at DC Studios. Why, you ask? Well, it’s all thanks to the SAG-AFTRA strike, which has caused a major clash in timetables for companies, both internally and externally. And the unfortunate victim of this clash? None other than Batman: The Brave and The Bold.
Still in its early stages, the film is now on hold as director Andy Muschietti shifts his focus to the It prequel series for Max: Welcome To Derry. It seems like we’ll have to wait a bit longer for the Batman movie to hit the screens until Muschietti wraps up his current project and a script is completed.
But you know what? Maybe these potential delays are a good thing. I mean, let’s face it – DC Studios already has a Caped Crusader film series with The Batman. So, maybe the longer the reboot takes to come out, the more time Muschietti has to make sure it’s something truly innovative for the character and doesn’t tread on worn ground. Hey, let’s look on the bright side, right?
The Future of the DC Universe
So, James Gunn and Peter Safran have some big plans for the DC Universe. They’re talking locked scripts, wiggle room, and a unified storyline across film, television, animation, and video game projects. Sounds pretty ambitious, right? According to these two, the DC Universe could even bring back elements from previous DC regimes, which means their eight-to-year plan is not a full reboot. Interesting, huh?
Now, we’ve already seen the release of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, and Blue Beetle following the announcement of the new DC Universe. And there’s still Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom slated for theaters in 2023. But here’s the question – will the characters from those movies make appearances in the new DCU? Only Gunn and Safran have the answers. And until then, it looks like we’ll just have to stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the DC Universe and maybe subscribe to their YouTube channel for more content!
