Episode 75: Batman: Brave & the Bold — Am I Right to Be Worried?

Christina Hodson — screenwriter behind Birds of Prey, The Flash, and the canceled Batgirl — has officially been tapped to write Batman: The Brave & the Bold.And yeah… I’ve got concerns.On paper, this is a bold move. In practice, Hodson’s recent comic book track record hasn’t exactly inspired confidence, and if rumors are true that Andy Muschietti (The Flash, Welcome to Derry) may also be directing, it raises even more questions. Are we repeating past mistakes? Or are we misjudging the pieces before we see the full picture?Here’s the thing though — this Batman exists under James Gunn’s DCU. That changes everything.In this episode, I break down:Why Hodson’s past work makes fans uneasyAnd the real question: If this movie fails, does it actually damage the DCU — or just prove the skepticism was justified?I want this movie to be good. I’m rooting for it. And if it knocks it out of the park, I’ll gladly eat my words and give credit where it’s due.But if it doesn’t… we need to talk about what that means for DC going forward.There’s only one way to find out when Batman: The Brave & the Bold finally hits theaters.🎙️ Hit play, drop your thoughts in the comments, and subscribe for more unfiltered DC conversations, deep dives, and hot takes.
