Batman: The Brave and the Bold

The Brave and the Bold is the first Batman movie in James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe, which reboots the Dark Knight after Ben Affleck's take on the character. It introduces Bruce Wayne's son, the Robin Damian Wayne, and draws inspiration from Grant Morrison's work on the comic book character.
