When is nightwing coming out

By now, it should be clear that Chris McKay is in fact directing the Nightwing movie. Just who is Chris McKay? Well, in many ways he's exactly who you'd want in the director's seat for this film. He's obviously familiar with so-called "nerd culture" and he knows how to make humorous flicks within the DC universe. As is so often the case with superhero movies, Nightwing fans have their own ideas about who should play the lead role in this upcoming film.

In early , Chris McKay posted a poll on Twitter that gave fans a few choices in this matter. Although a considerable percentage wanted a "vulnerable, emotional" actor to play Grayson, the vast majority preferred someone with genuine martial arts experience.

Due to the physical demands of this role and the already confirmed emphasis on stunts, the fans are probably on the right track with this one. It goes without saying that the Nightwing movie will explore the differences between Nightwing and Batman. The whole world is already familiar with who Batman is, but movie-goers have never seen someone quite like Nightwing.

In contrast to Batman's cold and reclusive nature, Nightwing is actually extremely outgoing. Fans are quick to praise his excellent personality, and this trait allows him to form valuable, trusting alliances with other heroes.

Batman might be a better fighter and tactician, but Nightwing doesn't have as much "baggage. A movie starring this DC character would be lighter and more humorous, perhaps with flowing dialogue and a stronger emphasis on interpersonal drama.

Let's hope they get it right. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a Masters in Postcolonial Literature by combining his love of African literature with comic-books. He has previously served as the film editor for The Student and currently serves as the assistant theatre editor for The Wee Review. By Nico Marrone Published Jul 03, Share Share Tweet Email 0.

There was a problem. Please refresh the page and try again. The film has evolved and changed along the way to fit DC's overall approach, and just like the comics, there was the chance we might've seen Batman make an appearance, and when the movie was put into development, Ben Affleck was the main Batman, though Matt Reeves' had already been brought in for The Batman. That said, they were still ironing all those things out. You're not guaranteed Batman was going to show up, but he could show up and other people could show up, but again you're dealing with Nightwing and that's what I like about it," McKay said.

How he became Nightwing and why be became Nightwing there was a lot of stuff I liked about the approach.
