Russo Brothers Express Interest In Directing A Batman Movie For The James Gunn DCU

Apr 20

Joe and Anthony Russo are open to working with James Gunn and Peter Safran to develop the upcoming DC Universe, especially on the forthcoming Batman film, The Brave and the Bold. During an interview with ComicBook.com, the two were asked if they were interested in working with Gunn on a movie.

Joe opened by saying, “Obviously, James over there running it; it would be a no-brainer. We love him to death. We love the direction he’s going to take that world in. You know he’s gonna be inventive with it.” From there, Joe Russo began to consider precisely which superhero from the DC universe he was willing to consider. He said, “I always answer based on the comics I collected as a kid, and the two comics I collected the most were Spider-Man – actually, the three – were Spider-Man, X-Men, and Batman. But there have been a lot of iterations of Batman, so I feel like that’s an obvious answer.”
