The Brave and the Bold's Batman should move away from the gritty seriousness of Bale's Bruce Wayne and embrace some silliness for once.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As director Andy Muschietti plans his new Batman film for Gunn and Safran's DC Universe, the approach to the character should be less Christopher Nolan and more Adam West. Though not much has been said about the team's plan for the direction of the Dark Knight, Gunn has said Batman will unsurprisingly be a "major part" of the DCU's future.
In addition to tonal problems, those versions of Batman are stuck in a design loop. Except for Ben Affleck's color variation, Batman's suit from Christian Bale to Robert Pattinson has been functional armor that's always black. Gunn could look at the 60s TV show to find a more fun, light style. The Batsuit should be gray and blue with yellow in the symbol and utility belt. Gotham should be a fantastical city, closer to Reeves' version of Gotham, not simply Chicago and New York.
Though Gunn should probably avoid the 60s camp factor, he could borrow from West's famously memorable Batman with his Sherlock Holmes-esque sleuth, bent on solving crimes and catching the bad guy. It would serve as a refreshing counter-narrative to the bleak vigilante with nothing to lose. The Batman films from Nolan and Reeves deal with big questions of morality in society. Gunn could return Batman to a pre-Nolan world of mysteries and adventures.
