THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD And THE AUTHORITY's Directors Possibly Revealed

According to a new rumour, DC Studios has found directors for The Brave and the Bold and The Authority, and they are names we're sure you comic book movie fans will be familiar with. Check them out...

DC Studios' new DCU is quickly starting to take shape, with Creature Commandos and Waller expected to hit Max (previously known as HBO Max) before Superman: Legacy arrives in theaters in 2025. 

With only Joker: Folie à Deux set to be released next year, we're expecting a good 18 months or so of casting news as the DCEU's successor begins coming together. James Gunn will be behind the camera for the Man of Tomorrow's return to the big screen, but what about some of the other movies on the way? 

According to sources that have been "verified" by the r/DCEULeaks moderators, both The Authority and Batman reboot The Brave and the Bold have locked in their respective filmmakers.

While we're taking this with a pinch of salt for now, it's said X-Men: First Class and Kingsman: The Secret Service helmer Matthew Vaughn is going to bring The Authority to theaters. That team seems like a perfect fit for the director, especially when the comic book series is one his frequent collaborator, Mark Millar, once worked on. 

The Brave and the Bold, meanwhile, is a movie unrelated to The Batman franchise that will focus on the DCU's Bruce Wayne training his son, Damian Wayne, as the new Robin. 

We had expected Ben Affleck to take the helm of that project, but following recent comments from the actor and director, it's clear he doesn't want to be part of DC Studios' plans for the franchise. Instead, it's said that The Flash helmer Andy Muschietti has been tapped to take charge of this reboot. 

Plenty of good things have been said about his work on The Flash, so we perhaps shouldn't be surprised by this news. Again, nothing has been confirmed and we're sure Gunn will chime in soon enough to debunk these claims...if they're incorrect!

How would you feel about Vaughn and Muschietti potentially joining the DCU?

How about doing an article when you know for sure?

@WEAPONXOXOXO - Why? The title makes it clear that it is not sure.

When did we decide that journalists can't write about rumors? You can go back decades and you'll see that rumors have always been part of movie/TV coverage.

@WEAPONXOXOXO - You realize this site has almost always dealt in the realm of rumors, what ifs and possibilities... right?

@Webster614 - I am pretty sure that they used to scoff at printing rumors at one time but that has been years ago.

@Webster614 - There's a rumor going around that I have a 12" dick. Let see if James Gunn denies that.

@WEAPONXOXOXO - Gunn: Half of that is true and half is not.

First The Flash, now that stepchild Batman movie. They really just be handing Andy Muschietti these movies designed by a committee. Poor guy.

Excellent choice with Vaughn.
Muschetti, I will wait and see The Flash before I form an opinion.

@Usernametaken - was thinking the same thing. we'll see how The Flash plays out but i did enjoy "IT" which he directed so we'll see. I'm cautiously optimistic if these are indeed true

@MotherGooseUPus - "It" was solid..."It 2" was not good!

@MotherGooseUPus - he did a good job with IT, but horror and Action are very different genre.

But I'm rooting for him.

@jst5 - haven't seen IT2 and don't plan on it becuz i head it was bad, haha

@MotherGooseUPus - It's pretty bad....the ending is one of the worst endings in the history of horror movies.

"The Authority" sounds exciting and refreshing, but it's still kinda odd, to start off things with a project like this. But lets see what Gunn has in mind.

@Spawnnn - If they establish the metagene early on and maybe combine the mythologies of a couple of the characters (like maybe have The Doctor be the Panchen Llama to the Century Baby's Dalai Llama or something) then it could work.

Side note:

If Superman is about 25 in 2025... could he be the Century Baby in the DCU?

@Spawnnn - not odd when you think about it. The Authority are clearing being set up as the catalyst for Superman forming the Justice League.

I thought they would keep Muschetti on after the inside reception for The Flash...Keaton Batman must be really a highlight if they're giving him a new batman movie

I'll still wait for Superman, then if that is amazing I will revisit this other new DCU stuff. Not gonna commit myself to another cinematic universe just for it to be mediocre or bad. I have no connection or care about another random lesser superhero team, I would like to see the main heroes. If the main heroes, like the Trinity, aren't awesome then nothing else in the universe will be worth watching beyond being stand-alone movies which they won't be as everything needs deviate from the story at-hand to spin-off other stuff.

Vaugh for The Authority? maybe, but Muschietti...no way they are giving him Batman before seeing how The Flash does...
