One of the most anticipated upcoming superhero movies is easily The Batman 2, the follow-up to Matt Reeves's critically acclaimed 2022 movie starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader.

But, there is also another Batman movie in the works – one that will be part of the DCU rather than an Elseworlds project like Reeves'. That movie is titled The Brave and the Bold, and it was unveiled as part of James Gunn and Peter Safran's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters announcement. Since then, though, news on the project has been scarce.

Here's hoping it won't be too much longer before more Batman news arrives – for either movie. The Batman 2 is set to release on October 1, 2027.
