After being asked about a future Justice League project Safran replied,
“We’ve been busy…We know eventually, you head to that direction, but we are really just talking about those movies that we’ve announced and those projects that we’ve announced…Supergirl, Lanterns for HBO, Clayface this fall, Man of Tomorrow, The Batman, Part II, you know we’re going to do Brave and the Bold, introducing Batman into the DCU.”
“We’ve talked about the Gorilla Grodd show for HBO that we’ll start shooting this year. So–well that’s big news by the way, um…I probably shouldn’t have said that, but…in terms of what goes on beyond that, we’ll talk about that when the time is right, but it’s really important for us, like with everything, to get the scripts right, to get the story right. We’re not in any rush. We want to do it right, we want to do it well. We want the stories to be well crafted in beautiful fashion and you know, having a creative visionary like James Gunn at the head of DC, gives us such an incredible advantage and it’s a beautiful thing to be able to work alongside him to tell these grand stories with these grand characters that we respect so much.”

It sounds like progress is finally being made on Batman: The Brave and the Bold if Safran mentions this as one of the known quantities. As for the Gorilla Grodd series? Well chances are this is the same series we know about, which has been called the Jimmy Olsen series. That show was said to be gearing up to shoot and it was also rumored it revolved around the villainous Gorilla Grodd.
Does a Jimmy Olsen/Gorilla Grodd series sound like it’ll be good? I have to say it doesn’t spark my interest currently, but let’s see how the vision plays out. Are you excited to see this new DCU series, what about The Brave and the Bold? as always, leave any thoughts below.
