The Brave and the Bold is an upcoming American superhero film based on DC Comics featuring the characters Batman and Robin. Produced by DC Studios and Double Dream, and set to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it will be a film in the DC Universe (DCU) and a reboot of the Batman film series. The film will be directed by Andy Muschietti.

Development on a standalone Batman film set in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) began by October 2014, with Ben Affleck expected to direct and star. After Affleck left in January 2019, the project was reworked into Matt Reeves's The Batman (2022) starring Robert Pattinson which launched its own shared universe. When James Gunn and Peter Safran became co-CEOs of DC Studios they began work on a new version of Batman, separate from both Affleck and Pattinson, for the DCU. Based on Grant Morrison's run on the Batman comics (2006–2013) it explores the "Bat-Family" for the first time in live-action films since Batman & Robin (1997), including introducing Batman's son Damian Wayne as a version of Robin. Muschietti joined as director in June 2023.

The Brave and the Bold will be released theatrically in the United States. It will be part of the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
