Recently came the news that Christina Hodson had been tapped by DC Studios chief James Gunn to pen the script for the upcoming DCU Batman movie “The Brave and the Bold”. That hiring drew some eyebrows. The British screenwriter is best known for writing the well-received “Bumblebee” and “Birds of Prey” films, and not so well-regarded 2023 “The Flash” film for the DCEU. Gunn responded: “It happened on TV for 9 seasons”. Another comment, reportedly now deleted, asked if Pattinson could appear as Batman in the DCU as a ‘variant’ disconnected from the Matt Reeves films to which Gunn simply said “No”.
