James Gunn Says THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Isn't DCU's Priority Yet, Keeps Batman Casting Under Wraps — GeekTyrant
Gunn was asked about casting on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, and he responded:
'There's people out there I think about, but let's see where the script comes in. It's not the furthest along thing. I mean, we have things that are much, much further along.'
This means fans shouldn't expect news anytime soon. Gunn also confirmed that Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II and The Brave and the Bold likely won't share a release year.
He avoided confirming whether this film will serve as the official debut of the DCU's Dark Knight but did tease its significance, noting it will introduce Damian Wayne as Robin, marking the first live-action appearance of Bruce Wayne's son.
For those keeping track, Gunn and Safran's DCU rollout is pacing differently than Marvel. After Superman , the only other major DC release this year is Peacemaker Season 2, which arrives on HBO Max August 21.
Supergirl follows on June 26, 2026, and Clayface lands on September 11, 2026. That's two DC films in 2025 compared to Marvel's three movies and three series before mid-year.
As for Batman , patience will be key. The Batman Part II is set to start filming in 2026 with an October 2027 release date, making it almost certain that Reeves' sequel will arrive before Gunn's take on the Dark Knight. For now, The Brave and the Bold has no set release date, so it may be a while before we see the Bat-family enter the new DCU.
Would you rather see Gunn introduce Batman sooner in a cameo or wait for a full introduction in The Brave and the Bold ?

'The View' host Sunny Hostin warns Colbert cancellation could lead to the 'dismantling of our Constitution'
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin warned on Tuesday that CBS canceling Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" could be the start of the "dismantling of our Constitution." CBS announced Thursday "The Late Show" will end in May at the end of its broadcast season. Though CBS and parent company Paramount said the choice to cancel the series was "purely a financial decision," and the show was reportedly losing the network $40 million a year, many liberal commentators claim it was for political reasons. Just days before the cancellation, Colbert slammed Paramount's recent settlement with President Donald Trump over his lawsuit against "60 Minutes" as a "big fat bribe" ahead of a pending merger between Paramount and Skydance Media. Hostin and her fellow co-hosts were also skeptical of CBS' explanation for canceling Colbert's show based on the "timing" of the announcement. She pointed out that if politics were involved, then the fabric of democracy could be in jeopardy. "My concern is, if it is political, then everyone should be concerned. People on the right should be concerned. People on the left should be concerned. Because it's very clear that, if it is political, this is the dismantling of our democracy. This is the dismantling of our Constitution. Right?" Hostin said to the cheering of the studio audience. She continued, "The First Amendment is the First Amendment for a reason and that is freedom of the press, freedom of speech. Freedom to speak truth to power. If that is taken away, if the comedians are being attacked, then that means our Constitution is being dismantled… That means the very rubric of our democracy is being dismantled. And I think every single person should be really, really concerned about it." Hostin praised Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., for speaking up on the issue and demanding answers. Several other high-profile Democrats also spoke out against canceling Colbert, whose show was openly favorable to their party while hostile to Republicans. "We must protect our Constitution and we must protect our democracy! This is bigger than just the cancellation of a television show!" Hostin exclaimed. Her co-host Joy Behar blamed Trump for Colbert's cancellation and warned "all bets are off" if comedians are taken down. "It's always been the role of the court jester to make fun of the king. That is the role of comedians. I have said on this show, I think I said it years ago, when they start coming for the comedian, all bets are off, because the king is supposed to take the hits and this guy has a skin thinner than, I don't know, than this card," Behar said, holding one up. Colbert fired back against Trump on his show Monday night after the president celebrated his show ending on Truth Social, writing, "I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. "How dare you, sir?" Colbert responded. "Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go f--- yourself."

Barry Bonds heartfelt message to Giants after Bobblehead Day
The post Barry Bonds heartfelt message to Giants after Bobblehead Day appeared first on ClutchPoints. The San Francisco Giants squandered an opportunity to gain ground in the NL West Saturday, as the Los Angeles Dodgers ended a seven-game skid with a 2-1 victory. The Giants fell to third place in the division after the loss, as San Francisco now trails LA by five games. But regardless of the outcome, Saturday was a special day at Oracle Park. The Giants hosted a Barry Bonds bobblehead giveaway and the all-time home run leader was in attendance, even throwing out the first pitch before the game. Bonds received a warm welcome from the San Francisco crowd and showed his appreciation with a message posted on Instagram. 'Thank you @sfgiants for having me for Bobblehead Day – what an incredible honor! It means so much to be celebrated here at home. I'm beyond grateful for the love from the fans and everyone who showed up today. What a day to remember!' Bonds wrote. Giants fans show up for Barry Bonds bobblehead game Although he retired 18 years ago, Bonds still looms large over the MLB landscape. He remains the benchmark used to measure baseball greatness. Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and James Wood have all received Bonds comps this season. And it usually means you're doing (or expected to do) something incredible at the plate. Droves of fans showed up to Oracle Saturday, hoping to be one of the first 20,000 attendees to receive a bobblehead. Lines stretched all around the ballpark well before the game began, per Anthony Garcia on X. Bonds spent 15 of his 22 major league seasons with the Giants. And he credits Hall of Famer and San Francisco great Willie Mays for mentoring him when he joined the team in 1993. In an effort to keep that tradition alive, Bonds met with Rafael Devers when he first arrived in the Bay Area. The Giants landed the All-Star slugger in a trade with the Boston Red Sox in June While Bonds has been snubbed by the Hall of Fame, he's part of the Giants' Wall of Fame and San Francisco retired his number. He's also in the Pittsburgh Pirates' Hall of Fame. He began his career with the Pirates in 1986 and spent seven seasons in Pittsburgh. Bonds is the all-time career leader in bWAR (162.8), home runs (762) and walks (2,558). He also holds the single-season record for home runs (73) and on-base percentage (.609). Bonds won seven MVP Awards in his incredible career. He received the award five times as a member of the Giants, including four straight MVPs from 2001-2004. No one else in baseball history has won the award more than three times. Although that could change this season as Shohei Ohtani makes a run for his fourth-career MVP.
