Andy Muscheietti Directing Batman: The Brave and the Bold
Deadline reports that director Andy Muschietti has taken the job steering yet another major franchise.
The director, who's hotly-anticipated feature The Flash opens in theaters today, has been tipped by DC Studios to direct Batman: The Brave And The Bold.
The film, developed by the new studio chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran, will be an in-universe reboot of the Dark Knight, which also features the Damien Wayne version of Robin. It is separate from the Elseworlds version of the Caped Crusader featured in Matt Reeves' Batman stories.
Muschietti has enjoyed a string of hits so far, directing two blockbuster films based on Stephen King's It, as well as buzz and box office expectations through the roof on The Flash.
Barbara Muschietti is producing, as she has on his previous films.
No release date has been fixed for the film.
