DC Movies followers have rather a lot to be excited for as we speak, as The Batman is again on observe with an official new director, Matt Reeves, and now an announcement {that a} Nightwing film is in growth, beneath director Chris McKay. Whereas there are not any main particulars there simply but, the timing is fortuitous for certain.
So now the query turns into: will Nightwing debut first in The Batman? We have not had any Robins within the new DC Movies universe but, apart from a lifeless one which’s almost definitely Jason Todd. That makes the timing proper for Dick Grayson, the primary Robin, to have already graduated to Nightwing. Whereas we do not have a lot confirmed about The Batman simply but, we all know that not less than one villain within the movie might be none aside from Slade Wilson, Deathstroke. Historically, he is had a fair greater rivalry within the comics (and even on the animated Teen Titans collection) with Dick than with Bruce.
One of many issues Geoff Johns, president and chief inventive officer of DC Leisure and co-head of DC Movies preaches in regards to the DC Universe is his love of “legacy” in that world. Giving us the introduction to Nightwing within the Batman film provides us that legacy, and it provides a much bigger sense of legitimacy to the character to common movie-going followers who may not know who Nightwing (and even Robin, consider it or not), are simply but.
The ultimate piece of that puzzle that makes us suppose Nightwing will present up in The Batman earlier than going to his personal solo movie, is that it units up an precise legacy risk. If Ben Affleck, as rumored, decides to name it a day as Batman after his preliminary contract of movies is up (which means post-The Batman almost definitely), together with Nightwing in that film, then giving Nightwing a solo movie, units him up very properly to don the cowl himself in a post-Batfleck world. It is not one thing vital, and it is not one thing particular, but it surely’s an ideal cover-your-butts transfer. If the worst that may occur is you wind up with an ideal Nightwing and an ideal Batman in a single DC Movies universe, then DC Movies and followers each come out forward.
