That seems to be the thought among fans waiting for Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Why find a totally new Batman for this mainline DCU movie when we already have Robert Pattinson playing the Dark Knight in the Matt Reeves movie The Batman? For those who have been following the production of The Brave and the Bold, Gunn’s answer comes as no surprise. At no point have Gunn, Reeves, Pattinson, or anyone else involved in the project even hinted that The Batman would become official cannon to the DCU. The Batman certainly has its stylized elements, as demonstrated by the evocative red lighting, the emo-noir voiceover narration, and every single thing that Colin Farrell is doing as Oz Cobb.
