After the Flash: Another iconic DC superhero for director Andy Muschietti

As expected, as the headliners of DC’s revival on the small and big screens, have the new Superman and Batman already found their directors?

Not content with being one of the architects of a future shared universe, James Gunn will also be making his next film around Clark Kent. and Andy Muschietti dedicated to Bruce Wayne and his son.

If the rumors have been around for weeks, Deadline Today claims that things are close for The Flash director. Who exactly directs two versions of Batman (Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton) in his DC film, which was released on June 14 in France. So there is logic and continuity in this choice.

Inspired by the excellent 2009 comic by Grant Morrison and assembled in France “Batman and Robin”The Brave and the Bold marks the big return of the Batman stalwart to cinema.

The latter will not be Dick Grayson (later Nightwing) or Jason Todd (killed by the Joker and then returned as the Red Hood), but Damian Wayne, his latest incarnation.

who is also Bruce’s child, genetically perfected and developed in an artificial womb. Raised by Talia al Ghul, he grew up in the League of Assassins, where he learned to kill very quickly, revealing his existence to his father at the age of ten.

Violent and sometimes indiscriminate, he takes on then-Robin Tim Drake and becomes a new version of Batman’s partner himself after stealing the suit. But their association is not an easy one for the Bat-Man, whose refusal to kill conflicts with his child’s murderous impulses.

The potential in terms of dramatic sources and conflicts is huge, and Andy Muschietti could even use it to bring out that creepy touch that can be seen in Mother and its adaptation.

“It’s a beautiful film – funny, exciting, thrilling – and Andy’s attachment and passion for these characters and this world is felt in every frame.”

So when it came to finding a director for The Brave and Bold, there was only one choice. Andy thankfully said yes. Barbara He is ready to produce with us.”

Now, two questions remain: When will the film be released? And, above all, who will be the new Batman of the DC Universe? Answers at San Diego Comic-Con in July?
