The LEGO Batman Movie’s Chris McKay to Direct Nightwing Movie
Following the news earlier today about The Batman finally landing a director, The Hollywood Reporter brings word that The LEGO Batman Movie director Chris McKay will be at the helm for a live-action Nightwing movie! The Judge and The Accountant screenwriter Bill Dubuque is set to pen the script.
In the pages of DC Comics, Dick Grayson spent many years as Batman’s protege and sidekick, Robin, but eventually went off on his own and assumed the mantle of the hero Nightwing. The character spent some time in the streets of Gotham City but primarily called the neighboring town of Bludhaven his base of operations. This isn’t the first time that McKay has toyed with the character either, as Dick Grayson appeared in The LEGO Batman Movie. Dick was also previously played by Chris O’Donnell in Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. Read more at http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/new...UR0hkmzvrj5.99

Second, not sure how to feel about this. As much as I've been waiting for Nightwing to appear on the big screen, I wish DC would have at least a finalized plan for their universe before announcing another movie.

As big a critic of the DCEU with WB as I've been, I'm very excited about this.
With Reeves running The Batman now instead of Affleck, I think The Batman has a better chance of incorporating characters that I have interest in. I don't give two bent batarangs for Deathstroke in Gotham City. EMBRACE Batman's supporting characters; give me ALL of the Robins and Batgirls.

I am all for a Nightwing movie. Its about time we get a good live action version of Dick Grayson instead of the whiny Chris O Donnell one.

It's about damn time Dick Grayson got some RESPECT. And make sure Babs Gordon is in this movie, too, and DON'T turn her into a damn self-absorbed unintelligent Hipster like the New52 comics have done...

It's in the trailer, I don't know that this counts as a spoiler.
Speaking of Lego Batman, I really liked it a lot and it seemed to me a movie made by people who actually like the characters. So this could be great!

So will this be a prequel story? Or are we supposed to ignore the Nightwing suit in BvS?

I'm pretty sure that was Jason Todd's Robin suit.

I need WB/DC to show some serious work starting on Nightwing, Batgirl, and The Batman.
Gimme the Batman cinematic universe; gimme Red Hood, Robin, Nightwing, and Robin (Damian); gimme Batgirl, Huntress, Spoiler, Black Bat... Heck, gimme Starling and Birds of Prey!

D'oh! What am I thinking, yeah that's definitely a Robin suit.
But geez, looking at the list of "undated" DCEU films... it really might as well be the Batman Cinematic Universe. I'd forgotten about half of these: The Batman Batgirl Gotham City Sirens Harley Quinn+Joker story Joker prequel film Nightwing I almost feel a little sorry for "Shazam", which has been in development for a decade while these Batman films are fast-tracked. |
