After the relaunch known as the New 52 Dick has once again become Nightwing and currently resides in Chicago.

Perhaps that’s the thinking for Warner Bros., which is in negotiations with The LEGO Batman Movie director Chris McKay to helm a DC movie based on Nightwing, the vigilante identity adopted by the original Robin, Dick Grayson. Bill Dubuque (The Accountant) is writing the script for the studio. No start date has been announced. The Hollywood Reporter first broke the news. McKay, an animator who worked on three seasons of Robot Chicken prior to teaming up with Christopher Miller and Phil Lord on The LEGO Movie, will be returning to the Dick Grayson character after debuting him in LEGO Batman in plastic brick form. Dick Grayson, a character who first appeared in the 1940s, created the alter-ego Nightwing in a 1984 comic after he left Batman’s fold to become a superhero all his own. Nightwing has yet to appear in any of the DC movies. The next film from that cinematic universe to hit theaters will be this summer’s Wonder Woman, set to bow on June 2, which will be followed by The Justice League on Nov. 17.
The LEGO Batman Movie has earned $182 million worldwide since opening on Feb. 10.The First ‘The Lego Batman Movie’ Images Are Here; Trailer Comes Out This WednesdayPosted on Monday, March 21st, 2016 by Jack Giroux“We’re making About a Boy as directed by Michael Mann.” If that quote doesn’t raise your hopes and dreams for The Lego Batman Movie, then what will? Funnily enough, both Christopher Nolan and The Lego Batman Movie director, Chris McKay, were inspired by Mann’s filmography for their Batman films — but obviously we should expect a slightly more comedic spin on the director’s crime movies in this instance.The above quote comes from McKay, who describes this Batman (voiced by Will Arnett) as “an island onto himself.” Read what else McKay and Arnett had to say about the film, and check out the first The Lego Batman Movie images, below.Arnett returns to the role of Batman, following up his voice work as the Caped Crusader in The Lego Movie. This time he’s joined by some familiar names, including Alfred Pennyworth (Ralph Fiennes), Batgirl/Barbara Gordon (Rosario Dawson), Robin/Dick Grayson (Michael Cera), The Joker (Zach Galifianakis), and potentially more.
Here are the first few images from The Lego Batman Movie (courtesy of USA Today): The Lego Batman Movie poses the question: can Batman be happy? The Dark Knight’s life of solitude gets turned upside down when he’s introduced to Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon. Despite Bruce Wayne’s relationship with his butler, the character is comfortable with his lonely, dark and gritty lifestyle.Along with the first look at the film, USA Today also got to speak with McKay and Arnett about what to expect. Arnett described The Lego Batman Movie as an opportunity to humanize Batman in animated form:The Batcave is even better than we remembered it, it’s awesome. But I also love getting into the ho-hum day-to-day of being Batman and what it’s like to fight crime each day. Like the idea of Batman oversleeping his alarm clock makes me laugh. It really does humanize him.Chris McKay, who worked on The Lego Movie, realized how popular Lego Batman was shortly following the release of The Lego Movie;
he kept having the character’s lines quoted back to him. With the first Lego Movie spinoff, McKay wanted to “build a big movie around this character” and make a movie “we would want to see.”The director is currently hard at work on the film in Australia, creating an entire, 3-D Lego Gotham. McKay added they’re “going deep into Batman’s world,” and obviously Superman (Channing Tatum), Green Lantern (Jonah Hill), and Wonder Woman (Cobie Smulders) are a part of Batman’s world. The director says there will be an exhaustive amount of cameos, so maybe we’ll see those Lego superheroes return for this About a Boy and Michael Mann mashup.The trailer for The Lego Batman Movie drops online this Wednesday. The animated film opens in theaters February 10th, 2017. Cool Posts From Around the Web: ZergNetSilas Lesnick: The LEGO Movie Sequel is Officially Set for May 26, 2017! Comingsoon.net, , abgerufen am (englisch).And here we thought that official confirmation of Matt Reeves signing on to direct The Batman was going to be the reward holding Dark Knight fans over as a sign the DCEU – and the corner in which Bruce Wayne resides – was moving in the right direction.
But now, word has arrived that Batman’s former sidekick, Dick Grayson, is bound for the spotlight in a movie all his own. News that a Nightwing movie has been greenlit at Warner Bros. would be enough to get a new wave of fans interested, if not downright ecstatic in the future of the movie’s universe. But with the same report claiming Chris McKay, director of The LEGO Batman Movie in talks to direct, the news can hardly get more promising – especially for Batman fans who felt their love of Batman’s lighter side rewarded with McKay’s directorial debut. Although Nightwing may not pursue the exact same level of comedy. The word arrives courtesy of THR, claiming that McKay is in talks to direct the movie, with a script being handled by writer Bill Dubuque (screenwriter of Ben Affleck’s recent action film The Accountant). The news comes as a shock to most, but not for those following McKay’s comments in the lead-up to LEGO Batman‘s release. With the topic of directing a live action feature starring a DC Comics superhero raised online, McKay confirmed on Twitter that he was “going to go in and see those guys and pitch myself.”
Apparently, if McKay’s words are taken at face value, that pitch was connected to Nightwing… and they were sold. Reports so far claim that McKay is “in talks” for the job, but given his success with the Dark Knight’s pantheon of characters in LEGO form, and judging by McKay’s own Twitter activity, it seems the deal will be closed before long. Which means fans of the superhero can speculate how the same person who crafted the campy comedy LEGO Batman will apply his talents to a film starring Nightwing and his own brand of martial arts and humor. He is the man who was once the quippy, plucky sidekick known as ‘Robin the Boy Wonder.’ McKay’s career is firmly rooted in the world of satirical, nostalgic meta-comedy best exemplified in comedic shorts like Robot Chicken, so one of the factors behind the decision was likely the appeal of adding a lighter, more comedic voice to the DCEU. At one point, that was the leading talking point in The Flash – perhaps the uncertainty surrounding that solo DC movie has led the minds at Warner Bros. and DC Films (Geoff Johns chief among them) to look for their commentary and observational humor elsewhere.
It wouldn’t be a stretch for the character, and if you’re looking for a hero to take playful, well-informed, and above all clever shots at Ben Affleck’s gritty, cynical Batman… McKay may have placed himself at the top of the contenders. But just as exciting for DC Comics fans as debating where or when a Nightwing ovie would be set is how it may open more doors into the DCEU’s Batman family. Director Zack Snyder opened the first, depicting Jason Todd’s defaced Robin costume in Bruce Wayne’s Batcave in Batman V Superman. While it set the tone for his fear of how much can be lost when heroes aren’t vigilant, it seemed to imply that Jason Todd had been killed by the Joker, and that Dick Grayson had preceded him in the role. But where was Dick? And if that much was being adapted without mention… could a similar path lie open for Batgirl in Margot Robbie’s Gotham City Sirens? It’s still too early to speculate, but with Wonder Woman and Aquaman telling completely different stories, the idea of the DCEU containing different sensibilities or styles may be old news by the time serious news or casting on Nightwing ever arrives.
