Batman vs Superman Movie - 7 Actors Who Could Play Nightwing

1. Colton Haynes

Haynes Colton Haynes is nowhere close to being a household name, but despite his short resume, he is Nightwing. He unsuccessfully auditioned for the role of Edward Cullen in Twilight, then landed a recurring role on MTV's Teen Wolf. He now plays Roy Harper, the future sidekick to Green Arrow, on the CW's Arrow. The 25 year-old former model has the chiseled features fans demand for the role of Dick Grayson, and his portrayal of Harper on Arrow has shown that he not only plays a good sidekick, but can hold his own in action scenes that require stunt work and acrobatics. He also plays a character who's incredibly damaged by his rocky past but is inspired by the heroics of a masked vigilante, and takes it upon himself to fight crime. Every time I see him on screen in the show I'm reminded of Nightwing, who embodies all of the same attributes. It may be a bit jarring for fans of the show to see him on the big screen as a different sidekick (especially since Green Arrow is often referred to as a Batman knockoff), but if given the chance, the relatively new actor could prove himself and hold his own alongside Affleck and Cavill. And there you have it! My 7 picks for the role of Dick Grayson. What do you think of the list, and what actors did you have in mind for the part (if the rumors of his appearance end up being true, of course)? Let us know in the comments below!
