Andy Muschietti has landed his next role in the DC Universe!

Andy Muschietti, director of “The Flash”, is returning to the DC  Universe.

Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer Andy Muschietti is officially suiting up to direct a new Batman film, Variety can report exclusively. The film is one of several new DC Studios titles mapped out by leaders James Gunn and Peter Safran earlier this year. Muschietti, behind this weekend’s superhero release “The Flash,” will direct “Batman: The Brave and the Bold.” The project is based on the comic series authored by Grant Morrison, who Gunn called “exceptionally influential” on in the DC Universe in January. The comics imagine a “Bat family,” where Bruce Wayne’s biological son Damian serves as Robin to his dad’s Batman. Muschietti’s sister and creative partner Barbara will produce the project via their label Double Dream, alongside Gunn and Safran.

The Flash hasn’t even opened to $100M this weekend –and may potentially not– but Warner Bros. is already popping champagne with the pic’s filmmaker Andy Muschietti.

Power Trip, who has died at the age of 34, was part Otto, The Simpsons’ everyman bus driver. He was part lowly comic bookstore employee, the one who tries to get you to reconsider your purchase and buy something cooler by Grant Morrison instead.
