Batman is one of the most complex and influential characters in modern fiction.

For over 80 years, his stories have explored trauma, morality, justice, and the psychological cost of heroism. Because of this, every creative decision involving Batman carries significant weight.

The announcement that the screenplay for The Brave and the Bold has been entrusted to Christina Hodson has raised legitimate concerns among many fans. This concern is not based on personal dislike, but on professional evaluation of previous works and their alignment with the tone traditionally associated with Batman.

Batman requires a narrative approach that is dark, grounded, psychologically rich, and respectful of the character’s mythos. A screenplay that lacks this depth risks weakening not only the character, but also the foundation of the DC Universe itself.

This petition does not seek to attack or exclude any individual.

It asks DC Studios and Warner Bros. Discovery to act with responsibility by reconsidering the current screenwriting direction, involving additional experienced writers, or ensuring a strong revision process that protects the integrity of Batman.

Fans are not asking for control over creative freedom.

They are asking for care, competence, and respect for a cultural icon.

If you believe Batman deserves thoughtful and coherent storytelling, please support this petition.
