Birds of Prey and The Flash scribe Christina Hodson is officially the writer for The Brave and the Bold, the feature project centred on Batman and Robin (the Damian Wayne version).

One of the first films announced when DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran revealed their Gods and Monsters slate, The Brave and the Bold is expected to introduce the Bat-family to the DCU. This adaptation of Grant Morrison’s comic book run centres mainly around Damian Wayne, a prolific assassin and Robin who turns out to be Bruce’s biological son.

Two years ago, Andy Muschietti was announced to direct Batman’s entry into Gunn and Safran’s DCU world. Whether that remains the case is unclear, given his series IT: Welcome to Derry‘s success last year means the filmmaker is in high demand at the moment.

There’s still no clear timeline on this project, but with Hodson officially aboard as writer, there’s hope that the project will go ahead soon, perhaps even with some Batman and Robin casting news in the near future!

Further to her DC titles, Christina Hodson is known for having written the very excellent Transformers prequel, Bumblebee. In 2025, Hodson was also announced as the writer for an Untitled Firefighter Movie by Ron Howard.
