Batman Brave and the Bold lands Director Andy Muschietti

According to an exclusive report from Variety, Andy Muschietti has agreed to take on the role of director for the next Batman movie. Earlier in the year, DC Studios leaders James Gunn and Peter Safran devised a plan for several new film titles, including one of which is this film.

Muschietti, whose superhero film "The Flash" is set to be released this coming weekend, has been tapped to direct "Batman: The Brave and the Bold." The project is based on the comic book series that was written by Grant Morrison, who James Gunn described in January as being "exceptionally influential" on the DC Universe.

“We saw ‘The Flash’; even before taking the reins at DC Studios, and knew we were in the hands of not only a visionary director but a massive DC fan,” Gunn and Safran told Variety of Muschietti. “It’s a magnificent film – funny, emotional, thrilling – and Andy’s affinity and passion for these characters and this world just resonates through every frame. So, when it came time to find a director for ‘The Brave and the Bold,’ there was really only one choice. Luckily, Andy said yes. Barbara signed on to produce with us and we were on our way. They’re an extraordinary team, and we couldn’t have better or more inspiring partners as we embark on this thrilling new adventure in the DCU.”
