Dick Grayson Casting Thread

[odilonredon]

i would kill for an adaption of batman rip but i have zero faith in wb to not absolutely ruin something like that

 

[The Infernal]

Adapt Grant Morrison's run and bring Bale as Simon Hurt.

Would be interesting to see Bale back in the DCU again.

 

[David H.]

Dev Patel!

The hair!

 

[David H.]

I've been thinking Christopher Abbott could be good but I wondered if he was too "indie" to be seriously considered.

Maybe It Come at Night can change that.

 

[superman-mos]

what about costume design ? What do you want them to keep and want them to change ? Red or Blue ? Should they sway more towards the injustice / arkham look or what?

 

[nyyarod]

They should definitely go with the blue design.

 

[NotNickFury]

Plus, Robin's costume in Batman and Robin already had a bit of a Nightwing thing going on with the red color.

 

[Tg11]

Zac Efron as Dick Grayson/Nightwing

 

[TheRedWraith]

Plus, Robin's costume in Batman and Robin already had a bit of a Nightwing thing going on with the red color.

That'd be a damn fine suit if not for the nipples and some of the musculature.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I loved both Robin suits.

 

[superman-mos]

Agreed . Both of the Robin suits were pretty well designed minus the nipple fiasco . Also I was a fan of Chris as Robin/Dick Grayson , I thought he was great in Batman Forever and one of the better performances in Batman and Robin . I would have loved to see him become Nightwing in future movies . I e said this before and I know he is playing Superman in the Supergirl show but I've always wanted to see Tyler Hochelin as Dick Grayson

 

[TX85]

Milo Ventimiglia has been my top choice for years!

[

 

[Tg11]

Tyler Hoechlin I can actually see him as Dick Grayson/Robin/Nightwing

 

[Spider-Fan83]

^not sure if that would be and upgrade or downgrade from playing Superman on TV

 

[David H.]

"Hey, Tyler, want to take a break from playing the most famous superhero of all time in a positively received iteration and come over to play second fiddle to a polarizing adaptation of the second most popular hero in our stable in an unpopular franchise?"

"Hey, Tyler, want to take a break from playing the most famous superhero of all time in a positively received iteration and come over to play second fiddle to a polarizing adaptation of the second most popular hero in our stable in an unpopular franchise?"

Honestly if he was in the running for Nightwing I could see him doing it in a heartbeat. I mean you can either play a glorified guest spot as Superman in a handful of episodes on the Supergirl show in which you are playing second fiddle to the main hero or you can be the original Robin ( just as iconic )all grown up in a big budget feature film that could be the start of your own franchise . Easy answer if you ask me but then again he could do both since the DCtv and DCEU do not overlap at all. Then again this is just wishful thinking, he has just always been my pick for Dick Grayson

 

[metaphysician]

In a perfect world, going Nightwing would make perfect sense. The issue is one of quality, would you rather guest star as Superman on TV, in a show that is generally liked as a character who is highly liked? Or would you rather star in a movie as Nightwing, with the movie being part of a deeply divisive at best franchise with questionable quality?

Though in theory, there's no reason he should have to choose. Unless WB has some kind of hardcore "no actor reuse" rule, its not like Superman is a full time TV role. He'd have plenty of time to play both.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Nah. Keep him as Superman and in Supegirl, and let another actor, who isn't already established as a hero/villain in something else, have a chance.

 

[Tg11]

Then I would go with Zac Efron as Dick Grayson/Nightwing but if not him then definitely Steven McQueen of Vampire Diaries fame as Dick Grayson/Nightwing

 

[Silvermoth]

Tyler Hoechlin I can actually see him as Dick Grayson/Robin/Nightwing

I don't see how that could work. How would I ship Hoelchin with himself?

 

[Richard Grayson]

Anyone think it's possible that Dick has a small cameo/supporting role in the Batgirl movie. He could then either be spun off into his own movie or continue to play a major role in other films in the DCEU

 

[metaphysician]

No, but that's because the Batgirl movie doesn't exist yet.

Its possible that the Dick *will have* a small cameo or role in the movie, though it would depend a lot on what they want the movie to be about. In particular, whether they are ready to actually answer question about Robin yet.

Totally. I think it would be unwise to not include Grayson. I'd love to see Dick Grayson as written by Whedon

 

[Richard Grayson]

Tbh of all movies WB have announced are in development, Batgirl is the one I'm most confident will actually happen

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

So after watching the trailer for American Assassin, I think Dylan O'Brien would make a pretty badass Dick/Nightwing
