I hope Brave and the Bold, and all the Batman movies in the DCU in general, capture the same vibe as Lee Bermejo's art.

I've always liked the idea of ​​Batman's most fantastical villains being written as horror movie characters, which makes me happy that the Clayface movie is an R-rated horror film. Similarly, Gotham feels like a different world WITHIN the DC Universe; even Wally West in the comics tends to avoid Gotham City at all costs because all the filth there is too disturbing for him.

And in my opinion, Lee Bermejo's art perfectly reflects the kind of Batman and Gotham City that would be suitable for the DCU:

It has a very grounded, detective-like feel thanks to its realistic art style; however, that doesn't stop villains like Man-Bat from looking intimidating, which makes Gotham seem like a cursed city.

Also, I once read a comment that said the DCU Batman, in addition to obviously adapting Batman comics, should be a combination of Sherlock Holmes, Indiana Jones, and Val Helsing. And I think this art reflects that very well.
