It was revealed earlier this week that Warner Bros. will be working on bringing a Nightwing movie to the big screen, with director of The LEGO Batman Movie, Chris McKay in talks to direct. Immediately fans across the globe began thinking up dream casting scenarios, and I personally was no exception.
Jared Padalecki
Reaching out to my fan casting for the role in the current DC Extended Universe – Jared Padalecki – I quickly received a response from the man himself on Twitter, hinting that he’d love to don the garb and get into the Nightwing suit for the film.
Immediately, fans begin to mock up pictures as Padalecki wearing Nightwing’s costume, with famed artist BOSSLOGIC bringing back his artwork of Padalecki in the role from two years ago:
Many are citing Padalecki’s age as a concern if he were to get the role. At 34, he would make an older, seasoned Nightwing, but in a world where Ben Affleck’s version of Batman is grizzled and many years into his career as the Dark Knight, it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility.
What do you think? Would you like to see Padalecki in the titular role of Nightwing, or do you have someone else in mind? Let us know!
