As a Nightwing fan I get
excepted when I think about possibly seeing Dick Grayson in Arrow or
Man of Steel: Justice Begins. With that said there are some questions
that need to be answered. What will his Origin Story be? Will he wear
Classic Blue or New 52 Red? Who will play Nightwing? Okay first
things first for Dick Grayson's origin story they should stick very
close to the New 52 Nightwing Issue #0. In twenty-one pages it shows
alot of what makes Dick who he is.
What will his Origin Story be?
The
comic starts off with Dick Grayson running on and in front of moving
trains meanwhile his friend flips over a crossing guard mistakingly
pushing in the on coming trains path and, of course Dick save the
man. This is the first four pages and it shows both Dick's playful
care free nature as well as his natural sense of justice. Page five
shows why the name Robin is eventually chosen. The origin story is my
favorite of the New 52 Robin's and for those how haven't read it,
it's $1.99 at comixology. Dick Grayson needs to became Robin at
twelve years old this is a must for one important reasons HE'S A
HUMAN WITHOUT ANY KIND OF POWERS. First off yes I know this makes
Batman a child abuser but it makes sense with the New 52 story being
as Bruce trained Dick only to keep him off the streets of Gotham.
Plus in the end it was Dick who saw Bruce in damage and put on the
Robin custom, which he created, in order to help him out in the
field. It makes logical sense for both Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson's
charaters both lost their families at a young age leaving them with a
nature longing for a family. Real last thing is expence, seen the
Batfamily doesn't have powers logically they need expence to
copinsate and starting young is a part of it, which Bruce Wayne of
all would know seen he started when he was eighteen, and became
Batman five years later, meaning that his body was already set
bacisally starting young will give Dick a boost espcally seen his
style of fighting is "move more get hit less".
Will he wear Classic Blue or New
52 Red?
Onto
Blue or Red on one hand I'd go with Red cause if this is a Batman in
his late fourties and the Batfamily exist then that means at some
point something happened and Dick Grayson became Batman. In other
words the red would signifes Dick seeing the weight of the world as
The Dark Knight. And on the other hand playing Arkham City and seeing
Nightwing's costume in that blue way easier for hiding in the dark.
So for realism blue all the way.
Who will play Nightwing?
Now
for the actor who will play Nightwing. Personal for Man of Steel I
think either Sam Claflin or Ben Barnes should play Dick, but if he
debuts on Arrow instead I personally go for Steven R. McQueen. All
actors are a good fit physcailly yet that could be a problem. Instead
of workingout to get a six-pack the actors should work on their
flexibilty seeing how Dick only wears a domino mask meaning we the
people that watch the show would see if they use a stunt double but
that's my opioin.
