- James Gunn’s DCU Nightiwing
One of the most loved DC characters could already be getting a tease for who could be playing their role in James Gunn’s DCU. Nightwing, former known as Robin (Dick Grayson) is one of DC’s most popular characters. And I’m sure many DC fans are eagerly awaiting to see who will play Dick Grayson in James Gunn’s DCU. Coming from the young Shazam star Asher Angel, who has teased this role in the DCU. Specifically posting a gift of Nightiwng form Young Justice on X.

Batman Brave and the Bold is an upcoming DCU film, it has constantly been gaining excitement and traction. Especially for who could play the Dark knight along with Nightwing and his Son Damien Wane. It’s doubtful Asher has actually been casted for this role, since usually actors do this as a tease for a potential role. Mainly for hyping up fans to promote this particular role, turning more heads to that actor playing that role.
But, if the Billy Batson star does takes on the role of Nightwing, he’s got the age and the build for it. Plus, with the muscle-building workouts the role demands, he’ll be in perfect shape to bring Nightwing to life. Other actors might suit the role better, but Asher definitely has the talent and skills to take it on. James Gunn’s DCU Nightiwing
James Gunn’s DCU Nightiwing: Could the Young Justice Nightwing Gift be intended
Asher posted a gift featuring Young Justice Nightwing, hinting that the DCU’s Nightwing might follow a similar path. He could start as Robin in the Teen Titans/Young Justice before becoming Nightwing, with Tim Drake stepping in. But this depends on whether that gift was a deliberate clue of Young Justice Nightwing being an inspiration for the DCU Nightwing. James Gunn’s DCU Nightiwing
Let’s hope this Nightwing tease doesn’t mean that they’ll will skip Robin.
