Nightwing Film

[Demi-fiend]

McKay’s Nightwing movie is still a long ways off, considering that there are at least six or seven DCEU (short for DC Extended Universe, for some reason) films already scheduled ahead of it. That being said, Nightwing is known for his humor, as opposed to his caped former mentor, which the studio might find appealing.

Hmm, I like Nightwing so I wouldn't be opposed to a movie.

I'd just be concerned that it'd feel too similar to Batman in style/tone.

Here's hoping they pull material from the superb Nightwing comic run before Dan DiDio dropped a nuke on Bludhaven. Some of that story content really sways into Daredevil and Punisher territory in terms of being dark crime stories.

Let them make one really good batman movie first. There wasn't one since Dark Knight.

This is a longshot but i would rather they pull from the recent Grayson comic rather than the bludhaven stuff.

That comic was about Dick Grayson infiltrating Spyral (a scifi spy agency) on Batman's orders.

Making him DC's Super Spy helps him contribute as a character, stand out from Batman and plays to his strengths.

There definitely have been. They're all animated.

Well the person directing will be the same guy who did Lego Batman, and the script writer being the one who wrote the script for The Accountant (another movie Ben Affleck played in along with soon-to-be Commissioner Gordon's J.K. Simmons.)

@DragonMaster2010: That whole J.K. Simmons as Gordon thing is going to really throw me off...

...I'd be like "What's J. Jonah Jameson doing helping out Batman? Why isn't he at the Daily Bugle telling Peter Parker off?".

I say it's a fair trade. Marvel's got a Batman (Keaton), DC's got a J. Jonah Jameson

My God, you know what that means...

...Marvel and DC Universes are CROSSING!!!

which one? Son of the Batman was horrible with big H. The whole new DC animations are such major steps down from all old ones, that I dunno where to begin with :/

Honestly the last DC animated film i really wanted to see was JL Gods and Monsters. Which was this radical elsewords thing. Everything else has been pretty meh.

Would people be ok with them using under the red hood as the focus of the story?

having Nightwing go against Red hood only to realize its a ressurected Jason Todd? The favorite son vs the fallen son?

Yeah, most animated DC movies in general have been lack-luster. Not straight up awful but very bland. Justice League Dark wasn't as bad as Bad Blood but...eeeh.

And then there was the Killing Joke which was all types of bad to me.

Not to mention the fact that most DC animated movies have all been or have something heavily to do with Batman have begun to irk me. We never get to see any animated movies of Superman or, hell, even Wonder Woman. Jeez.

I hope Judas Contract will be good but I've been wrong before.

At least Justice League Action is pretty good. And with Young Justice returning, maybe it'll get better.

I feel like that should be more for a Batman movie then a Nightwing one. Maybe have Red Hood be used like Red X was in Teen Titans as an anonymous anti-hero whom Nightwing fights but never figures out who he is.

I dunno about that.

You said since The Dark Knight, right? That's 2008. Since then, there's Batman: Under the Red Hood, Green Lantern: First Flight, Superman: Unbound, Batman: Year One, Assault on Arkham... And that's to say nothing of the recent Justice League movies, like War, Gods & Monsters, and the best one, Flashpoint Paradox. I loved all of those.

The Batman movies of the last two years have been crap because they've all been centered around the living cringe-fest that is Damian Wayne. But saying all Batman films since the Dark Knight have been crap? I don't agree at all.

And this is coming from someone who primarily sticks to Marvel material because of raging indifference to anything DC-related after the DCAU that started with The Animated Series ended back in 2007.

Trust me; Damian is a lot better in the comics compared to the animated movies.

I said BATMAN movie. not JL. And yes Son of BAtman introduced horrible Damian into animated universe. Thats one, and two, Im talking about movies not animated films.

Nightwing is known as the lynchpin of the the DC universe so im curious how they would have handled that aspect of his character.

I guess the problem with Nightwing is he is more defined by his relationships with other characters than his solo characteristics.

 

[Sparda's rejected son]

A friend at work told me about this. He said he was hoping it would be a continuation of the Dark Knight trilogy. Maybe he just wants them to film in Chicago again.

Nightwing had an arc set in Chicago so they could always pull from that.

I sure hope not. The Dark Knight version of Gotham was so bland and boring.
