The GOAT, Nightwing, is coming to the DCEU! According to THR, Warner Bros. is plotting a new DC superhero film based on the Batman-centric character Nightwing. Chris McKay, who recently directed the Lego Batman Movie for Warner Bros., is in negotiations to helm the new film, and Bill Dubuque (The Accountant) is writing the script. McKay […]
McKay is no stranger when it comes to Dick Grayson in it. The character appeared in his LEGO Batman Movie, as Robin, and was voiced by Michael Cera. Nightwing, aka Dick Grayson, is best known for being the original Robin. Grayson famously shed his persona in the 1980s as the character aged up, and became the leader of the Teen Titans.
Although the character of Robin has yet to officially appear in the DCEU movies, weve seen his graffiti-covered suit in Batman v. Superman, and director Zack Snyder has said that at that point in time Robin had been killed by the Joker (there have been multiple Robins over the years in the comics, and Snyder did not say which one was killed by the Joker in his film). It’s unclear where this new Nightwing story will fit in on the timeline.The next films to hit theaters include Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot (June 2), the star-studded Justice League (Nov. 17) and Aquaman starring Jason Momoa (Oct. 5, 2018). A sequel to Suicide Squad, The Batmanstarring Ben Affleck, a Shazam film, a Flash film and a Cyborg project are also in the works.
