10 Characters Who Could Feature In DC’s Nightwing Movie

Hold onto your cowls, Bat-fans, as we've recently had a surprise announcement from Warner Bros. Out of nowhere, it was revealed that DC are working on a Nightwing film, to be directed by The LEGO Batman Movie's Chris McKay and written by The Accountant's Bill Dubuque.

1) Jason Todd (Red Hood)

Ever since a Robin costume with Joker graffiti all over it appeared in Batman V Superman, fans have been waiting to see Jason Todd introduced into the movies. You see, Todd was the second Robin in the comics and was brutally murdered by the Joker. Years later, however, he returned from the dead as ultra-violent vigilante Red Hood, looking to get revenge on the Clown Prince of Crime.

Oddly, despite this clear set-up for the character, The Batman doesn’t look to be using him in any capacity. What could happen instead, then, is that the Red Hood appears in the Nightwing movie. Thinking about it, it could be an even better move than featuring the character in The Batman.

By focusing on both Grayson and Todd, we could see how differently Batman’s two proteges have turned out. With the hero trying to talk a former friend back from the dark side, it could even be DC’s answer to the highly-successful Captain America: The Winter Soldier. 

Any of these characters would be fun to see, but the inclusion of Jason Todd in the Nightwing film would surely make for the best version of it. Make it happen, DC.
