THE FLASH Writer Christina Hodson Will NOT Write DC Studios' THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD After All

While all signs point to The Flash director Andy Muschietti taking the helm of The Brave and the Bold for DC Studios, it's now being reported that he won't be joined by writer Christina Hodson. Check it out...

Revealed at the end of January, DC Studios' "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters" slate left fans with plenty to be excited about. However, there are a couple of projects that really jumped out, including The Brave and the Bold

That's going to revolve around the DCU's Batman after 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 10-year-old will 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.

Ben Affleck immediately emerged as a likely candidate to helm this DCU reboot, but his later comments about James Gunn made it clear the Justice League star isn't interested. 

Since then, The Flash helmer Andy Muschietti has become the frontrunner to direct The Brave and the Bold and it was reported earlier this week that he'll reunite with writer Christina Hodson on the project. However, the rumour has now been debunked. 

As you can see below, The Wrap's Umberto Gonzalez was the first to report that Hodson, who also wrote Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, isn't involved.

The moderators of r/DCEULeaks have added, "Hodson was set to write the script as well, but due to unknown circumstances dropped out a few months ago and they have been on a search for a new writer ever since. This has now been put on pause due to the WGA strike."

Early reviews for The Flash have been a little more mixed than Warner Bros. probably expected, though a 73% score is still better than the vast majority of DCEU titles. With that in mind, we'd imagine he'll remain attached to the movie even after Hodson's apparent departure.

The Brave and the Bold doesn't currently have a release date.

Gunn should choose Grant Morrison to co-write the script. It would be a very wise decision.

Is it just me or is JW putting out contradictory articles within a 12 hour period more and more in the past 3 months? Do you think he even reads the info he’s regurgitating or is it just auto copy and paste?

@slickrickdesigns - I wouldn't discard the possibility of him using chatgpt to write his articles.

@MaxPaint - Hard disagree. The articles would be way better written and probably actually have some substance.

I'm not familiar with The Brave and the Bold storyline but I Have a very hard time believing that the greatest detective of all time didn't know he had a son.
