THE FLASH Director Andy Muschietti Reportedly A Lock To Helm BATMAN Reboot THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD

It's looking like The Flash director Andy Muschietti is a lock for DC Studios' The Brave and the Bold, confirming weeks of rumours about him taking the helm of the planned Batman and Robin team-up...

Rumours have swirled for weeks that The Flash director Andy Muschietti has been tapped to direct The Brave and the Bold, with the filmmaker even playing coy in interviews when asked about the possibility. 

Well, One Take News has reportedly "confirmed with multiple sources" that Muschietti is indeed directing DC Studios' Batman reboot. 

James Gunn has previously expressed an interest in bringing the director into the fold, and with everyone from him to Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav and Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise hyping The Flash as one of the best superhero movies ever made, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised. 

After all, early reactions have been mostly very positive, with many singling out what a great job Muschietti has done with Michael Keaton's returning Batman. That alone could make him an ideal pick to reimagine the Dark Knight alongside his son Damian Wayne, a.k.a. Robin. 

While a screenplay for The Flash 2 has been written, a sequel is likely a low priority for DC Studios unless that projected $70 million opening weekend ultimately translates into a record-breaking global haul (it's certainly not outside the ream of possibility based on what happened with Aquaman back in 2018).

Muschietti helmed both IT movies before moving on to The Flash and appears to have had a great time in the DCEU despite the many changes made to the project since cameras first began rolling. During that period, he's clearly proven he has what it takes to tell stories in this world. 

The Brave and the Bold, which is unrelated to Matt Reeves' The Batman II, will introduce the DCU's Batman and Muschietti is now the third filmmaker to be attached to one of DC Studios' upcoming movies. Gunn will helm Superman: Legacy, while James Mangold has been tapped to direct Swamp-Thing (presumably after his planned Star Wars prequel). 

The Flash races into theaters on June 16.

probably won't be confirmed until Flash has been out a couple weeks, unless it totally bombs.

My hope is they'll keep quite on future developments until comic con and really have their presence felt.

@UniqNo - What if that Batman at the end isn't who we think it is? We hear his voice apparently, but there are some versions being shown with his face blurred out. Maybe the dude that's rumored is a smokescreen and this is where we will get our first glimpse at the DCU's Brave and the Bold Batman, cast by Muschietti!

@ObserverIO - I mean anything is possible, right? but i don't see that happening. I'd like to beleive that the Clooney cameo scence pops up in the body of the movie like Cage's Superman.

I'm still holding out hope they managed to get Cavill back in some regard to at least say good bye to that version of superman for an end credit scene, just to cap it off, but sadly i think it will be whatever's been rumoured to feature Aquaman, as we know his movie is up next (not counting Blue beetle) from Snyder's era and they'll want to start promoting.

I just can't see it. Part 2 of IT was godawful. I guess this all depends on the success of Flash. Can't see that either.

They're banking a lot on this movie and its success...

Those early screenings remind of 2016's Suicide Squad and how everyone who got to watch it early sang its praises, before it became properly reviewed and ridiculed with its wider release.

@DrReedRichards - You're in for a whole round of eating crow, doc.
Sure you may not like it, and honestly that's okay.
DC doesn't need you.
But this movie is going to be well received, and you will look back and eat your words right now.

@TempleRod - With the way it’s tracking right now, it doesn’t look like success is on the cards.
