The new Batman will need to overcome Nolan's legacy.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Before the DC Universe's new Batman movie, The Brave and the Bold, can find success, it'll have to overcome the hurdle that is Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy and its legacy as one of the greatest superhero movie trilogies in history. The Dark Knight especially is one of the most beloved superhero movies of all time, holding a 94 percent fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and having earned $1.
As yet, little is known about The Brave and the Bold beyond what was revealed when it was first announced by DC Studios earlier this year. It will star a new actor in the role of Bruce Wayne and the movie will feature Batman's son Damian Wayne in a key role. In addition to Damian, The Brave and the Bold will include other members of the Bat-family, though exact characters have not been confirmed.
Nolan's three movies also set expectations in terms of what a Batman movie should be by telling an incredibly grounded and gritty superhero story. Bale's Batman was a far cry from the lighthearted superhero of the 60s and the campy character of the late 90s. Since Nolan started the trend, it's seemed Batman movies have only gotten darker.
Batman's First DCU Movie Is Already Minimizing Nolan Trilogy Comparison Already, there are quite a few differences between The Brave and the Bold and Nolan's Dark Knight movies, the biggest being the inclusion of Damian Wayne. Although The Dark Knight Rises ending introduced a hero to take over as Batman, Bale's Bruce Wayne was a largely solitary superhero and didn't team up with any of the Bat-family characters from the comics.
Of course, whether The Brave and the Bold will be able to compare to any of The Dark Knight movies in terms of quality remains to be seen. But, with fewer similarities to The Dark Knight trilogy inherent in the new Batman movie, The Brave and the Bold will have a better chance of subverting or exceeding expectations. Muschietti will only need to deliver a good Batman movie with The Brave and the Bold and it stands a chance of finding a place for itself in Batman movie history.
