The story of Dick Grayson, becoming Robin, then becoming Nightwing played out for us, the audience, in the comics in REAL TIME. It wasn't a flashback. We experienced it. So all of Robin/Nightwings successes and failures we were along for the ride. And people that underestimated Robin or dismissed him perhaps had their opinions changed as we watched him "grow up" right in front of us. His relationships, his conflicts with Batman et al felt real to me because he was the window character with which we experienced Gotham city.

Can't wait for his take. Seems he really understands the character.

 

[Santiako]

At night, his fabulous wigs come to play.

 

[Escape Goat]

Nightwig: The Rupaul Story

 

[Sanjuro]

Might as well be Robin movie.

 

[Hex]

Respectable wig by day, scoundrel wig by night.
What a tangled coif indeed.

Nightwig's HQ:

If only.

 

[Fury451]

Sounds like he has a good grasp of Nightwing.

Now how's he going to bring that across in a movie where we've seen none of the things he highlights as being integral for the audience to experience to be with Dick on the journey into Nightwing?

 

[MHWilliams]

Well I'm onboard.

 

[TheGameshark]

No one cared who I was before I put on the wig

Seriously I'm on board for a night wing movie

 

[Shaanyboi]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Slayven]

Well I'm onboard.

that is damn good

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

His reasoning is kinda similar to what makes Cass my favorite Batgirl.

Sadly getting into Dick Grayson's stories later(born in 90), you do see him progress so well but then hits that comic purgatory rarely ever getting out.
Still Nightwing definitely established himself as a top tier comic character.

 

[Sanjuro]

Well I'm onboard.

Ugh.

I'm guessing copious amounts of flashbacks to pivotal days in his Robin career, sprinkled here and there in the film.

 

[Haloid1177]

Best DC character finally getting a movie that’s deserving of him hopefully.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Ugh.

??

 

[aly]

Sounds good. My boy finally getting the respect he deserves.

 

[Alienous]

I'll believe he understands the character when he starts talking about gratuitous butt-shots.

That's neat.
Now, how about dat butt? They better not mess that up in the film. I expect the firmest of butts for Nightwing, only way to do right by the character and its fans.

 

[Sanjuro]

I'll be there day one, but I'm not interested in a Nightwing film.

[DiipuSurotu]

JGL or bust

JGL or bust

But he'd be about 14 years older than Batman.

You might want to look out for a certain statue when the SDCC news start dropping. There'll probably be a thread about it.

That would be the only way to do it I suppose. But you'd need Batfleck to agree I imagine. This'll be interesting that's for sure. Hopefully Wonder Woman interesting and not Suicide Squad "interesting"

Post a butt pic of him first.

Mmmhmm no butt no Nightwing.

I like what he's saying but i wanna hear his thoughts on the bootay!

 

[JTripper]

That description would be so much more relevant if this were for a Dick Grayson solo tv series and not a film. Still excited though.

Booty

I like you, Hal. Always have.

Batman is DC's best character. I still like you, though.

 

[Einchy]

Oh, this is actually happening? I thought it was just a rumor.

 

[Sojgat]

Well I'm onboard.

 

[Yousefb]

Will this be the same Nightwing in the upcoming Titans live action series?

 

[jack_package_200]

Yo what

I didn't know a Nightwing film was happening...

 

[Sojgat]

Will this be the same Nightwing in the upcoming Titans live action series?

Are you wanting to know if his lethal eyes will drain a man of every last bit of spleen?

 

[Yousefb]

Sure.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

 

[Sojgat]

Sure.

I'd say it's about as likely as Stephen Amell being cast as movie Green Arrow.

 

[J_Viper]

Sounds like he's talking about the character in general, not so much his plans for the film

 

[Pein]

My favorite dc hero, I think dylan o'brien would be a good choice for him.

 

[Staccat0]

Sounds like he's talking about the character in general, not so much his plans for the film

Which is a good first sign.

 

[G-Fex]

must've been hard drawing tears in that era that didn't look like the ice cream from 'the stuff' was leaking out of their eyes.

 

[MHWilliams]

Nope.

 

[Aizo]

This is from her wedding arc, right? Hahaha. Obviously photoshopped, but the original actually still made me laugh.

 

[PanSexual_Peacock]

Sounds like he's talking about the character in general, not so much his plans for the film

He did say the actor he would cast would have to be committed to the role like him.
