Even before he became a notch on Negan's bat in The Walking Dead this season, there was a gathering storm of support for Steven Yeun to play Nightwing. And now Glenn Rhee is no more, the actor should be free to take on some meatier roles that take advantage of his established fanbase to The Walking Dead's disadvantage.

Part of the impact of Glenn's death was how beloved he had become with fans, and that's the kind of goodwill Warner Bros should look to take advantage of. He's already got Bong Joon-Ho's excellent looking Okia on his slate, but it would be wrong not to acknowledge how much of a good fit he'd be for Nightwing.

He's likeable, he's talented and he's young enough to convince that he was once Ben Affleck's side-kick. And it's about time Hollywood started giving better roles to talented Asian actors.
