Following recent rumors of Ben Affleck directing Batman The Brave and The Bold, DC Studiosco-CEO James Gunn responds to the reports. A new Batman reboot is in the workshop at DC Studios, as the DCEU is reaching its end this time. While Ben Affleck will appear in The Flash movie, a new Dark Knight will take over for him in the DC Universe. Gunn and Peter Safran blazoned in January of this time that The Brave and The Bold is one of their major DC flicks in the workshop. While it appears Affleck will not be slipping the costume again, Gunn has verified that they're hoping to have him direct a DC Universe design. 

 With Gunn and Affleck looking for a design that fits the former Dark Knight, numerous have wondered if The Brave and The Bold could be an option. A recent scuttlebutt surfaced online that Affleck is reportedly being eyed to helm the new Batman movie. 

While Gunn has addressed several rumors before, the DC Studiosco-head rightfully called out a stoner that appertained to him as a fabricator if the rumors are true. Given that it was preliminarily allowed that Affleck would not, in fact, direct The Brave and The Bold, the filmmaker addressed that he is always worked hard to noway lie to the suckers, and he noway plans to. Gunn stressed that he could always change his mind on commodity, which could including Affleck being hired for The Brave and The Bold, without being a fabricator. Gunn made this response due to a Twitter thread that had different and unwarranted allegations by a stoner, but the sense, of course, could apply to other opinions as well. 

If Not Batman, Which DC Universe Film Should Ben Affleck Direct?

 The Brave and The Bold would be a coming-full- circle- moment for Affleck as he was originally set to direct a Batman film of his own. The film would have had Affleck work in front and behind the camera for the DCEU investiture. But in the end, The Batman came a reboot for Robert Pattinson, with director Matt Reeves at thehelm.However, there are other options for him, If The Brave and The Bold is not the DC Universe movie that Affleck will direct. 

 Two of the likeliest options out of the presently- blazoned DC pictures are Superman Legacy or The Authority. With Gunn writing Superman Legacy, there have been addresses about him also directing it. James Mangold is reportedly being eyed to direct the Swamp Thing live- action movie. That leaves The Authority as a implicit design for Affleck, which could be commodity that falls right into his wheelhouse. 

 It's worth flashing back that there are still several DC Universe pictures left to be blazoned, as only the first half of Chapter 1," Gods and Monsters," has been revealed. With someone of Affleck's quality, any DC Universe design that lands him as the director will presumably well- worth checking out. Time will tell where Affleck falls into the DC Universe if he does not direct The Brave and The Bold.
