How he turned Nightwing and why be turned Nightwing there was plenty of stuff I appreciated in regards to the method.”

Whereas the film has been in limbo, it has not been canceled, and McKay nonetheless hopes to make the film a actuality. “The explanation why I am hesitating as a result of proper now in the present day (Friday 18th June), nobody has instructed me we’re not making that film.
