Revealed at the end of January, DC Studios' "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters" slate is undeniably exciting. However, there are a couple of projects that have really jumped out at fans and those are Superman: Legacy and The Brave and the Bold.
The latter will revolve around the DCU's Batman as he learns he has a young son, Damian. Just like in Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's critically acclaimed Batman and Robin comic book series, the kid will also become his father's new sidekick, while we anticipate seeing other members of the Bat-Family make their presence felt in this all-new Gotham City too (which is unrelated to The Batman franchise).
Ben Affleck and The Flash director Andy Muschietti are among those rumoured to potentially direct The Brave and the Bold, but Avengers: Endgame helmers Joe and Anthony Russo have now expressed their interest in potentially joining the DCU.
"We don't get asked a lot about DC characters," Anthony told ComicBook.com before Joe chimed in to say, "Obviously James [Gunn] over there running it, it would be a no-brainer. We love him to death. We love the direction he's going to take that world in. You know he's gonna be inventive with it."
"And favourite DC characters? I mean, man. There are so many good ones. I always answer based on the comics I collected as a kid, and the two comics I collected the most were Spider-Man - actually, the three - were Spider-Man. X-Men and Batman. But there have been a lot of iterations of Batman, so I feel like that's an obvious answer."
"But, you know, it's hard not to answer that," Anthony said of potentially helming the DCU's Batman reboot. "Here's how you know we haven't actually gotten literal about it and specific about it is because, yeah, Batman would be my favourite character for my entire childhood. But obviously, it's been well explored."
Given how busy the Russo Brothers are running their production company AGBO, we don't think they'll be returning to the MCU or joining the DCU anytime soon. After all, it's already been confirmed they're unlikely to helm Avengers: Secret Wars despite that being a dream project.
The Brave and the Bold doesn't currently have a release date.
