Nightwing for The Batman

The last time we saw Dick Grayson was in the Joel Schumacher films – given the quality of those movies, it’s understandable why Nolan decided against using the character. Sure enough, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was Robin John Blake, but that doesn’t mean anything at all (especially since his full name was revealed at the end of the movie).

So it’s about time someone used Dick Grayson in a movie. And, according to many, that someone should be Ben Affleck. We shouldn’t get Robin, but the other superhero persona of the character, after he left Batman.

This rumor dates back to 2015, when the rumors of an Under the Hood adaptation also appeared. It’s being said that Nightwing will cameo in The Batman, most likely being set up to appear in subsequent films.

Also to be noted: According to the same rumor, Nightwing will appear with Batgirl in the planned Batman flick. So Ben Affleck (who is also the script writer) has to juggle quite a few characters.
