ASupernaturalfranchise star looks perfect for his dream DC role —Nightwing— in newDC Universeart. James Gunn has yet to announce when Dick Grayson will debut in the DCU; however, the creator has both hinted at Nightwing on social media and revealed that the Bat-Family will be part ofBatman’sThe Brave and the Boldmovie. That means Dick’s DCU debut could come relatively soon, and aSupernaturalstar wants to play Nightwing.
On Twitter,artist@jobhutzshared stunning art ofThe Winchesters' Drake Rodger as the DCU’s Nightwing.
Rodger played a young version ofSupernatural’s John Winchester, who is the father of the series' leads, Sam and Dean Winchester. The latter was played by Jensen Ackles, who has become the fan-favorite for the DCU’s Batman. Rodger looks pitch-perfect as Nightwing, wearing the hero’s classic black and blue suit.
Rodger also commented on the fan art, saying, “I love it!” The actor has already revealed that he hopes to at least audition for the DCU’s Nightwing, with Rodger having trained for the role with Nightwing’s escrima sticks for the past three years.
Casting The DCU’s Nightwing: 10 Actors Perfect To Play Dick Grayson In DC’s New Batman Movie
James Gunn has teased Nightwing on social media, and there are certain actors who could do Dick Grayson right in the DCU Batman reboot movie and more.
When Drake Rodger’s Nightwing Could Be Cast For The DCU
There Are A Couple Of Projects For Nightwing’s Debut
Rodger could get his chance to at least audition for the DCU’s Nightwing. After all, the casting processes for the major roles in the DCU so far have been long and included hundreds of actors vying for the coveted roles. Dick Grayson is a very important character in DC Comics right now, leading the Titans, who took over the Justice League’s role as the DC universe’s first line of defense — though Amanda Waller has complicated things there.
Nightwing could similarly play a major role in the DCU. Dick Grayson is a charismatic character that has everything to be to the DCU what Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As such, DC could make Nightwing debut as soon as possible. Rodger could get his chance to play Dick Grayson first inThe Brave and the Bold. The movie will feature multiple Bat-Family characters. While Damian Wayne is the only Robin confirmed for the film, Dick Grayson is extremely important to the character in the comics, and so Nightwing will likely be in the movie.
10 Reasons Nightwing Is Perfect For The Rebooted DCU After 35 Years Of Batman Movie Snubs
James Gunn has revealed that the Bat-Family will be part of the DCU, and after years of movie snubs, Nightwing needs a major role in the franchise.
However, depending on the DCU’s timeline, Nightwing could debut in another movie before appearing inThe Brave and the Bold. A Teen Titans movie is in development. Dick Grayson is the team’s most famous leader, and the character could appear inTeen Titansthrough flashbacks to his days as Robin — creating the team — and in the present day as Nightwing. AsThe Brave and the BoldandTeen Titansdo not have release dates confirmed,Nightwing’s DCU debut will likely come in whatever is released first, and perhaps with Drake Rodger as his dream DC hero.
The Brave and the Bold
The Brave and the Bold will introduce audiences to a new Batman in the DC Universe, focusing on the unique dynamic between the Dark Knight and his son, Damian Wayne, who takes on the mantle of Robin. This film marks yet another reboot for the iconic vigilante superhero.
