There are two live-action Batman movies on the horizon. The first is The Batman: Part II, which is still on track to reunite us with Robert Pattinson’s take on the Caped Crusader in late 2027. Then there’s The Brave and the Bold, which will officially introduce the DC Universe franchise’s Batman following a shadowy cameo in Creature Commandos. There’ve been few updates on The Brave and the Bold since it was announced in early 2023, but today the upcoming DC movie has finally taken another step forward amid fan uncertainly about whether it would actually happen.
As originally reported by The Insneider, Christina Hodson has been tapped to write The Brave and the Bold. While it’s unclear how far along she is on the script, THR has a source that says she’s been “working on the project since at least the fall.” Another source claimed that it will a while before Hodson turns in a “definitive draft” of this highly-anticipated Batman movie since DC Studios is “taking a measured approach to its development.”
Of course, Christina Hodson is no stranger to DC movies, having debuted in this corner of the superhero space as the screenwriter of Birds of Prey. She followed that up with 2023’s The Flash, which featured both the Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton versions of Batman. Additionally, Hodson penned the Batgirl movie that was shelved in 2022, where Keaton donned the cape and cowl again, as well as an unmade Batman Beyond movie that reportedly “earned praise inside the studio.”
