Summary
Timothée Chalamet is imagined as Nightwing in James Gunn's upcoming DC Universe, with fan art showcasing his potential look in the iconic superhero role.
Batman: The Brave and The Bold has the potential to pave the way for Nightwing's introduction into the DC Universe, expanding on the already established Bat-Family and potentially highlighting Grayson's character. With Brenton Thwaites already taking on the role of Nightwing in Titans, the silver screen is now prepared to bring this beloved DC hero to life, offering a refreshing take on Grayson's character.
New fan art envisions Timothée Chalamet as Nightwing, the beloved superhero from DC Studios. With a new DC Universe set to replace the DCEU, Warner Bros. Discovery has a chance to create a cohesive superhero franchise. While actors like David Corenswet have already joined the DC Universe as Superman, there are still countless characters waiting to be cast.
James Gunn's DC Universe will include the mythos of Batman and his extended family, setting it apart from other live-action adaptations like Robert Pattinson's The Batman universe. With roles like Nightwing, Red Hood, Batgirl, and Robin up for grabs, speculation is running wild about who should be chosen for these iconic characters in DC Studios.
Buffy2Ville recently shared artwork of Chalamet portraying Dick Grayson, also known as Nightwing, in Gunn's DC Universe. The artwork showcases Chalamet wearing an armored version of Nightwing's iconic costume, both with and without his mask.
How Batman: The Brave And The Bold Can Introduce The DCU's Nightwing
The Nightwing movie may have been canceled, but one of Gunn's upcoming projects in the DC Universe might be incorporating Grayson into the franchise. Batman: The Brave and The Bold, a major Chapter 1 project, will serve as Bruce Wayne's reboot in the DC Universe, focusing on an already established Caped Crusader rather than an origin story.
With the introduction of Damian Wayne, Bruce's biological son and the fourth hero to take on the Robin mantle, the DC Universe will have a fully developed Bat-Family in this continuity. In the initial announcement for Batman: The Brave and The Bold, Gunn and Peter Safran hinted at the possible appearance of Bat-Family members without specifying who. Considering how advanced the DC Universe is in terms of the Bat-mythology, Grayson is likely already Nightwing, indicating the strong possibility of his introduction through Batman: The Brave and The Bold.
With Titans concluding this year, showcasing Brenton Thwaites as Nightwing, it is high time for the silver screen to unveil the legendary DC hero. Titans has effectively familiarized Nightwing to a wide range of viewers, enabling the DC Universe to explore the character's involvement in the Bat-Family from a fresh perspective. Hopefully, the future plans for Nightwing in the DC Universe will be unveiled promptly.
