Dude, what?!

Chris McKay, who most recently directed the Lego Batman Movie for Warner Bros., is in negotiations to helm the new film, and Bill Dubuque (The Accountant) is writing the script.

No, I got that. Just surprised at that...well, surprise news.

 

[Frodo]

Nightwing movie directed by Chris McKay is in development!!

Is this a live action Nightiwing or a Lego Nightwing film?

Sounds like it's live action given the report.

No way. That's great!

I wonder if they're setting up Ben Affleck leaving the cowl to Dick Grayson...

 

[Erzengel]

Oh good another DC movie in development. What are we pushing now 15?

 

[yllum]

I just hope to see Red Hood in upcoming movies

Why would they do that? Affleck isn't that iconic. This isn't RDJ as Iron Man. We have already had multiple Batman's

Easiest way to get a younger actor in the cowl without having to reboot the character/continuity.

Chris McKay represented by CAA, expect him to exit talk with WB next Friday =P

 

[idiot09]

Or you know, they just want to make a Nightwing film.

Yeah... No. Bruce Wayne IS the Batman.

 

[thebatfan5194]

Not saying that's what I want, dude. Just speculating.

You wouldn't have to reboot anything. Its not like they are going to cast a 20 year old guy to play Bruce Wayne. Plenty of 30 somethings can pull off an adult Batman.

WB probably released this because Nightwing writer -> Accountant writer -> Ben Affleck's pal -> Affleck's presence's still in DCEU -> shut up and focus on Reeves =P

Too bad The Accountant script was a mess.

You're just a negative Nancy, aren't you?
