Rumor: Andy Muschietti Not Directing Batman Movie ‘The Brave and The Bold’

February 17, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

Although Matt Reeves has his own separate Batman franchise for Warner Bros, DCU co-chair James Gunn decided that it was a smart move to work on a separate Caped Crusader project for his upcoming DCEU.

Strangely enough, Gunn hired Andy Muschietti to direct this Batman movie, titled “The Brave and the Bold,” for DC Studios.

The problem is that Muschietti directed “The Flash,” a film that lost more than $150 million for Warner Bros and was ridiculed by critics upon release. Gunn hired Muschietti before anyone had seen “The Flash,” so, as you can imagine, he’s in a bit of a conundrum here.

The Hot Mic’s John Rocha is now reporting that he’s heard Muschietti will finally not be directing “The Brave and the Bold” — in all likelihood, he’s been, politely, fired. It’s purely optics for Gunn and company. If you want to launch the new DCEU, and get rid of the stink of the last one, you don’t hire the director of “The Flash.” No offense to Muschietti.

The Argentinian-born Muschietti is the filmmaker behind both ‘It’ films and recently shot the Max prequel series “Welcome to Derry”. He gained prominence with his 2013 horror film “Mama.” He’s a household name at Warner Bros and has made them a lot of money.

“The Brave and the Bold” was the third DCU film to have a director attached to its name. Gunn will himself be directing “Superman: Legacy” and James Mangold is helming “Swamp Thing”. “The Brave and the Bold” is said to follow Batman as he learns to live with his biological son, Damian Wayne, who also happens to be Robin.

So, now, who replaces Muschietti? Has “The Brave and the Bold” been delayed indefinitely? That would be a smart move on Gunn’s part. You already have Reeves’ Batman franchise, adding in another Batman so soon would not be the best idea. I say, just let Reeves finish his trilogy first.

So, there you go, we might or might not have another Batman on the horizon, set to be the first one with Robin since Joel Schumacher’s 1997 misfire “Batman & Robin.” Nothing has topped Nolan’s “The Dark Knight.” We’ve already had Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale and Robert Pattinson don the cape — audiences will eventually get tired by the overload of reboots, if they haven’t already.
