The web is abuzz following the reveal of the newest trailer for WB’s Suicide Squad. Together with Jared Leto’s Joker, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, and Will Smith’s Deadshot to call a number of, almost each character within the Suicide Squad has been given a reputation, save for Ike Barinholtz’s character and Scott Eastwood. Fan Chris Brooks has introduced up the chance to us that Mr. Eastwood might the truth is be taking part in the position of Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing. Is it attainable that this but named character is working for Ben Affleck’s Batman to maintain an eye fixed out on the just lately shaped crew of unstable tremendous criminals? Let’s take a look at the information.
To start out, it is clear that the brand new DC Cinematic Universe is following the Batman mythos that has already been established to a sure extent. From the Batman V Superman trailers, we have seen Bruce Wayne sadly gaze upon a Robin costume in a glass case, eliciting the comedian ebook reminiscence of Jason Todd’s, the second Robin, unlucky run in with the Clown Prince of Crime. If this had been to remain true to its origins, this could be following the departure of Dick Grayson from the Bat-Household, shedding the identification of the primary Robin and changing into his personal man in Nightwing, establishing store within the city of Bludhaven. With Batman having his fingers full preventing this new “alien risk” within the type of Superman, it would not appear to be he’d have the time to maintain his eyes on this new gang of presidency sponsored villains, which might make for the right alternative for Dick to enter the fray albeit undercover.
On high of Batman having a heavy affect on the DC Cinematic Universe, with roles in each the Justice League and a solo image of his personal down the highway, he clearly seems tailing the Joker within the Suicide Squad trailer. Whereas the extent of affect he has within the movie continues to be in query, who’s to say that he is not working from the shadows by Grayson who has infiltrated his means into ARGUS? If Warner Bros needed to start out cementing Batman of their latest universe, introducing extra of his supporting forged by ancillary films can be a certain hearth means to take action. Eastwood is an actor who has starred in lots of movies in supporting roles, and whereas this could be one other of these, WB might be considering of headlining him down the highway in his personal Nightwing image as soon as every part has gotten off the bottom following Daybreak of Justice and Suicide Squad.
There have been loads of rumors relating to who Scott Eastwood could also be, with Deathstroke being one other possible candidate bouncing across the rumor mill, but Slade is not one to disguise himself a lot as Grayson is. With the Joker and Harley Quinn having their justifiable share of run-ins with the primary Boy Wonder, and the DC Cinematic Universe going down a very good deal previous when Bruce first donned the mantle of the Bat, indicators level towards Scott Eastwood being Dick Grayson extra so than some other huge DC character round. In case you really feel prefer it this weekend, crank up some Bohemian Rhapsody, learn some Nightwing story arcs, and consider what might be simply across the nook.
