Robert Pattinson may be the star of Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” series, but another Caped Crusader will soon take flight in the rebooted DC universe under James Gunn.

The DC Studios chief has revealed a few details on who will don the cowl in his new universe, which launched with last year’s “Superman” starring David Corenswet. When Gunn and Peter Safran took the reigns of DC Studios in 2022, they announced several movies and shows in the first chapter of the world, such as “Superman,” “Supergirl,” “Lanterns” and “Clayface.” In addition to several other so-far unreleased projects, they revealed a Batman movie titled “The Brave and the Bold,” which would be separate from Pattinson’s hero in Reeves’ series.
