Since this is a “Batman” film…so, yeah…
Per THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, Christina Hodson — who also wrote BIRDS OF PREY, THE FLASH, and a never-made BATMAN BEYOND script (which would’ve featured Michael Keaton as an aged Bruce Wayne/Batman) — for Warner Bros., is writing the DCU Batman and the Batman sidekick kids film THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD for DC Studios.
The trade points out that via 2 sources, 1) Hodson has been working on the project since at least the fall; and 2) it will be some time before a definitive draft is delivered, because the studio is taking a measured approach to its development. Regarding the “measured approach,” here’s hoping that it doesn’t go into production and is released before Matt Reeves is finished with THE BATMAN EPIC CRIME SAGA. (And yes, I’m well aware that’s not likely to happen, but it certainly would be the correct thing to do. But Gunn and co. want to get to the DCU Batman yesterday; oversaturating the Batsphere with 2 concurrent cinematic versions of Batman be damned.)
If you’re a regular reader of BOF, you know that I have little to no interest in the DCU Batman. But as I said, since this news is about a “Batman” film, I’ll cover it here on BOF…albeit unenthusiastically. Sorry, we’re in the middle of an awesome Batman film series in Matt Reeves’ aforementioned SAGA, so that is where my focus and enthusiasm lie. ANYWAY…
Christina Hobson is writing THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD for DC Studios. Yeah. – Bill “Jett” Ramey
