DCEU'S Nightwing Movie: 10 Mistakes It Must Avoid

7. Ignoring The Supporting Cast

A Nightwing solo movie should be just that: a solo movie. But that doesn't mean it should shy away from showing some of the character's history, or in particular, the character's closest ally.

We understand that Joss Whedon will be making a Batgirl film for Warner Bros. going forward, and that it'll feature Barbara Gordon in the leading role, but it'd be nice to see her interact with Grayson in a Nightwing feature too. The pair share a massive history together on the page as well as off it - a history that would undoubtedly lend itself well to any live action Bat-project.

A women-led Batgirl feature would be the best way to reintroduce Babs into DC's onscreen properties, but it'd still be great to see her play a part in Nightwing, if not as Batgirl, then as Oracle instead.
