Hold onto your batarangs, folks, because the release date for the new Batman: Brave and the Bold movie might be closer than you think! A recent report suggests we could be seeing the Dark Knight back on the big screen in 2028 as part of the DC Universe (DCU). But here's where it gets interesting...
According to a report from Dread Central, the screenplay for Andy Muschietti's Brave and the Bold is complete, and the studio is aiming for a 2028 release. This is exciting news for fans eager to see a fresh take on the Caped Crusader.
Now, let's add a dash of potential drama to the mix. Remember Matt Reeves' The Batman films, starring Robert Pattinson? Well, the sequel, The Batman 2, is currently slated for an October 1, 2027 release.
And this is the part most people miss... If both films stick to their current schedules, DC could potentially release two Batman movies within a year of each other. One film will be part of the DCU, and the other will exist separately. Could this lead to confusion among viewers?
James Gunn has previously stated his focus is on supporting Reeves and The Batman 2. However, the potential overlap in release dates raises some intriguing questions about how DC Studios will manage the marketing and audience expectations for both films.
Brave and the Bold, directed by Andy Muschietti (of The Flash fame), was initially announced in 2023 shortly after James Gunn and Peter Safran took the reins at DC Studios. Since then, details have been scarce, making this new release date window a significant update.
