Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2026)

[BusSport]

Batman: The Brave and the Bold will be the 3rd film of James Gunn's new DC cinematic Universe. Despite having the same title, this film should not be confused with the earlier Batman: The Brave and the Bold cartoon series. This film will introduce Gunn's universe's version of Batman, to be played by a new actor, so this Batman will not be the Affleck or Pattinson versions.

As suggested by the title, it will focus on two characters: Batman and Robin. This Robin will not be Dick Grayson, or Jason Todd, or Tim Drake, or Stephanie Brown, but instead Damian Wayne. Damian is the son of Batman by Talia al Ghul, daughter of Ra's al Ghul, and thus the grandson of Ra's who was raised and trained by the League of Assassins.

Wow…jumping right to Damien Wayne is a bit of a surprise considering how little any robins have been involved in Batman movies

Agreed. It’s weird. Ben affleck was already supposed to be the old grizzled up Batman since we did not need a new origin. It’s weird that the total reboot of this universe also will take an older Batman.

That’s fine though. I’m not totally against it. But with old and grizzled, that doesn’t really scream lighter(in tone) and fun.

But I will give Gunn the benefit of doubt.
