The newDC Universehas already started , and the enfranchisement ’s first project makes my dream of seeingNightwingcome to the universe closer to happening . I did not enjoyall DCEU moving-picture show , but the enfranchisement did have a few exciting entrance . Among my favourite were James Gunn’sThe Suicide SquadandPeacemaker . As such , I am looking forwards to what Gunn can now do as not only the writer and music director of project , but alsoDC Studios ' overall creative chief . All of theDCU Chapter One projectslook interesting , with major heroes and unknown characters as part of the lineup .

The first motion-picture show in the DCU is going to beDavid Corenswet’sSuperman . I ’ve desire the actor to take over as the next valet of Steel ever since I watched Corenswet in Netflix’sThe Politicianback in 2019 . Before then , the DCU has already start up , thanks toCreature Commandos . The TV - MA animated series is doing a caboodle of number 1 for DC and its new franchise , serving as the perfect project to get going the DCU ’s world - building effort . Aside from introducing a new team in the form of its deed of conveyance monster squad , the DCU serial teases that superhero squad should be coming .

The Justice League is DC ’s most famous superhero team . However , it is far from the comic book giant ’s only superhero squad , and afterthe DCEU messed up its innovation of the Justice League , the team could do with a bit of a hiatus before render to the big screen . While fans wait to see who will play major JLA heroes like Batman , Wonder Woman , and the Flash , other superhero team could rise in the DCU to bridge the gap . It seems like the first of them has already been reveal , though not formally .

Now that the DCU is confirmed to be develop a live - activity movie starring DC ’s Teen Titans , here is everything we have learned about the undertaking .

In March , The Hollywood Reporterclaimed that a Teen Titans movie was in development at DC Studios . So far , James Gunn nor DC have officially confirm that the project is in the works . That might bet negative to some , as Gunn is normally vocal on social media about the DCU ’s film and series ; however , the managing director might just not want to affirm the film is happen before it is in a concrete state . Gunn could have debunked the news program already . The write up claimed thatSupergirl : Woman of Tomorrowwriter Ana Nogueira is penning the Teen Titans movie handwriting .

The sequence feature many dead character , withDavid Corenswet ’s Superman on a cross , Teen Titans ' Starfire impaled , and John Cena ’s Peacemaker lying deadon the base . Other characters appear in the background , though it is hard to make out who they might be , something the full interlingual rendition of the sequence could make more clear . As Starfire is inCreature Commandos , I ’m convinced that the Teen Titans are coming to the DCU shortly .

Another projection that has not been confirm by Gunn , and the managing director even dodged commenting about when asked lately , was a reported Deathstroke and Bane movie .

Nightwing is the superhero moniker taken up by Dick Grayson, upon his aging out of the Robin role and becoming a superhero of his own. Inspired by the original Kryptonian hero of the same name, Grayson has risen to comic book immortality with the identity, earning respect as one of the greatest leaders in the DC Universe.

Starfire ’s DCU introduction is not the only sign that points to the Teen Titans flick reports being genuine . Another labor that has not been substantiate by Gunn , and the film director even dodged comment about when asked recently , was a reported Deathstroke and Bane movie . While the latter is not connected to the superhero squad , Deathstroke happen to be the Teen Titans ' crowing baddie . Gunn did antecedently support thathe has plans for Slade Wilson in the DCU , which up the chances of the villain duo appear in a flick soon . Deathstroke would be the thoroughgoing Teen Titans movie baddie .

Starfire ’s corroborate DCU role is another positive nod towards Nightwing . Koriand’r is one of Grayson ’s biggest passion interests , and the heroes have magnificently been on the Teen Titans together . With the team reportedly in the DCU and Starfire already substantiate , I feel like Nightwing must have some sort of role in the Teen Titans movie . However , I do n’t think he will head the team . IfBatman is on his 4th Robin , that mean Bruce is likely older , and so should be Dick . That said , if Damian or Tim Drake start the Titans , Dick ’s chances of appearing would still be good .

How The DCU Can Do Justice By Nightwing In Live-Action

The Hero Has Not Had The Best Time In The Medium

Nightwing is a reference who urgently require to be done decently in live - natural action . I guess both recent rendering of the character in the medium faced issues.1997’sBatman & Robinis one of the worst superhero moving-picture show of all time . It was wholly unlike how the Dark Knight should be presented , and have Dick , who went by Robin but wore a Nightwing suit , in it was bad for his reputation . Then cameTitans . I love Brenton Thwaites ' casting as Dick Grayson , and he was the show ’s best character , but Nightwing was notably dingy and more violent than he should be .

I want to see a truly light - hearted , bright , leader version of Nightwing in the DCU . When you add up the character ' in vogue portrayals and how they should be , I see a lot of what the DCU is doing for Superman in what Nightwing postulate . After the DCEU ’s darker take on the Man of Steel , David Corenswet ’s Superman will be more of a classic variant of the hero . TheSupermanmovie ’s set video have me excited about the fibre ’s potency in the DCU . I hopeNightwingis treated with the same stratum of forethought and comes about as inspiring as Superman .

Nightwing is the superhero moniker shoot up by Dick Grayson , upon his aging out of the Robin role and becoming a superhero of his own . Inspired by the original Kryptonian hero of the same name , Grayson has risen to comic book immortality with the identity , earning obedience as one of the nifty leadership in the DC Universe .
