It is not Robert Pattinson. It is not Ben Affleck. We\u2019re working with Robert on The Batman: Part II with Matt Reeves, and we\u2019re working with Ben Affleck, who has been a part of our team trying to bring things together and he really wants to direct one of our projects. We\u2019re excited for him to do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a story of Damian Wayne, who\u2019s Batman\u2019s actual son that he didn\u2019t know existed for the first eight to 10 years of his life. He was raised as a little murderer and assassin. He\u2019s my favourite Robin. It\u2019s based on the Grant Morrison comic run, which is one of my favourite Batman runs. We\u2019re putting it all together right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Safran explained: \u201cThis is going to feature other members of the extended Bat-Family.

as Christian Bale, George Clooney and Michael Keaton. It seems very likely that the team will want to cast their own, brand-new Batman.<\/p>\n<p>We also don\u2019t know who will play Damian Wayne\/Robin yet, but we\u2019re sure we\u2019ll get some casting announcements for the film in due course.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is there a trailer for The Brave and the Bold?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There isn\u2019t a trailer for The Brave and the Bold available just yet, but for now you can rewatch James Gunn\u2019s announcement video for the first slate of DCU titles right here.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">Here are just a few of our plans.
