Although it has been rumoured for a while, it has finally been confirmed that ‘The Flash’ director, Andy Muschietti, will direct ‘Batman: The Brave And The Bold’ for DC Studios. The film will be a part of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DCU.

Based on Grant Morrison’s Batman comic book run that began in 2006, the film will tell the story of Batman and his son, Damian, who been raised by Ra’ Al Ghul to be the world’s most deadly assassin. The film will also introduce the wider Bat family.

Muschietti’s sister and creative partner Barbara will produce the project via their label Double Dream, alongside Gunn and Safran.

We saw ‘The Flash’; even before taking the reins at DC Studios, and knew we were in the hands of not only a visionary director but a massive DC fan. It’s a magnificent film – funny, emotional, thrilling – and Andy’s affinity and passion for these characters and this world just resonates through every frame. So, when it came time to find a director for ‘The Brave and the Bold,’ there was really only one choice. Luckily, Andy said yes. Barbara signed on to produce with us and we were on our way. They’re an extraordinary team, and we couldn’t have better or more inspiring partners as we embark on this thrilling new adventure in the DCU.
