The DCU"s Batman Reboot Can"t Use Tier A Villains For Its Own Sake

:0:1

One crucial detail means that the new DCU Batman movie, The Brave and the Bold, will not be using a big-name villain in the first entry. The DCU is set to take the first few steps into it"s potential filled universe with shows like Creature Commandos and the Superman movie, but one project that will be key is the upcoming Batman movie. Batman is one of the most important and popular characters from DC, and his role in the larger DCU is expected to be a significant one when he does eventually appear.
However, James Gunn has confirmed that the first movie will be a Batman and Robin story, exploring the relationship between the Gotham Guardian and a young protégé. So, not only will Batman be getting another live-action adaptation after having multiple actors assume the role in live-action since 2005, but there will finally be another Robin story on the big screen. But, by bringing Robin in, there are unique challenges and hurdles that Batman will need to overcome in order to train his sidekick, and leave a legacy behind after he eventually retires from being the Batman.
The Brave & The Bold Will Introduce The First Live-Action Movie Robin In Decades Robin Is Finally Returning To The Big Screen Close Despite Batman having had three separate live-action actors in the 1980s and 1990s, and another three since 2005, his sidekick has had considerably less screentime. In 1997, Batman & Robin saw George Clooney"s Bruce Wayne joined by a stubborn and intense Dick Grayson who was desperate to prove his capacity as a hero. In modern cinema, this is the one and only adaptation of Batman"s sidekick to appear on the big screen. However, another version of Robin was presented in Christopher Nolan"s The Dark Knight Rises, a police officer named John Blake, whose first name was later revealed to be Robin.
