Nightwing director reaffirms his commitment to the Dick Grayson solo movie

February 25, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Almost a year ago to the day, it was announced that The LEGO Batman helmer Chris McKay would be bringing Dick Grayson to the DC Extended Universe with a live-action Nightwing movie.

McKay has provided fans with regular social media updates about his plans for the former Boy Wonder, but the movie was one of several DCEU titles absent from Warner Bros.’ subsequent DC movie slate announcements, and with the filmmaker signing on last week to direct a new Dungeons & Dragons movie, questions have been raised about the status of the Nightwing movie.
