Reeves was previously set to meet with Gunn and Safran on to discuss how they plan to continue the BatVerse parallel to the mainline DCU.Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for twenty five years, after beginning his American comics career with acclaimed runs on ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL. Moreover, with Reeves' The Batman series still proceeding on the side, it leaves an option for fans who find the grittier, grounded take on the Caped Crusader more in their ballpark. Not to mention, it's a take that simply hasn't been done on the big screen before, exposing audiences to a part of the Batman world they might otherwise never experience.

The film is described as an unusual father and son story as Batman is reintroduced to his son part way through his life. Morrison's series introduced Batman's actual son whom he had with Talia al Ghul. The Brave and the Bold will be based heavily on the iconic Batman comic run by Grant Morrison. Namely, their plans involve a Robin, specifically Damian Wayne who will be the focal point of their introductory Batman film. Matt Reeves will still get his corner of the DCU with his The Batman films, but Gunn and Safran have their own plans for how the Caped Crusader will fit into the larger extended universe. While unveiling their sprawling plans for the cinematic universe under their guidance, the creatives spoke about The Brave and the Bold, the film that will kick off their iteration of Batman. DC fans will finally get their wish for a Robin story under James Gunn and Peter Safran's revamped DCU.
