Looking forward to Seeley writing Dick again!

The Nightwing animated series is awesome news if it ends up panning out! Loren Lester coming back would be great.

Also, my ideal casting choice for live action Dick actually wants to play the part. Tanner Buchanan said the character he most wants to play is Robin (specifically Dick since he wants to do Nightwing too):

Of course, since he expressed interest that probably means it will never happen cuz that's how these things go lol. But after the casting of Blue Beetle, we know Cobra Kai is already on WB/DC's radar, so you never know.

The casting of Blue Beetle was the first time a very obvious and good fan casting was actually chosen.

I wouldn't mind Tanner playing The Batman version of Robin.
Even tho he is not the best actor in Cobra Kai.

Young justice was suppose to be Nightwing but they didn’t belive in him
Titans was suppose to be Nightwing but they didn’t belive in him
Hopefully his presence in live action gets enough fanfare they might belive he can carry an animated solo.

Him that sucks too but with Damians bottoms

No wonder everyone thinks the robins are all the same lol

I think Xolo is definitely the best of the kids acting wise, so if any of them got chosen for one of these I'm glad it was him.

Tanner at least has the physical ability and the looks for the part; I agree he isn't the strongest of the actors, but he suits the introverted nature of the character he plays. I guess it would depend on where Dick would start as a character in these movies, since they are darker, and where they want him to go. And if it's a composite character (cuz he might suit Jason better just going off of Robby).

Oh hell yes. I was starting to think this mysterious series was just a misunderstanding for the Batman and Robin... and Howard kids book. That's a killer team and a nice modernization of the classic costume, even if it is a bit Damian-esque.

[Rac7d*]

Titans, Young Justice, Gotham Knights and a possible Animated series.
His brand keeps getting bigger, but this and a movie would skyrocket it.

Again if the reception to Nightwing is good it could be green lit sooner

[Frontier]

Looks like some action figures of Gotham Knights are being made.

Now all we need is more gameplay footage...

Look at this little information John Siuntres dropped in the JUSTICE LEAGUE Animated Panel at Terrificon 2021.

Apparently he interviewed Loren Lester who said that Warner is contemplating a Nightwing Animated Series and Bruce Timm is behind the project. Loren Lester said he isn't sure if he gonna get the role.

I marked the video with the timestamp, but if for some reason it doesn't work, it's around 34 minute mark.

Wow. A Nightwing cartoon is one thing, but I'm kind of surprised Bruce Timm is helping with it. I never thought he was all that into Dick as Nightwing.

Robins was officially announced. It will be released in November.

I'm curious how this will compare to Robin: Year One...beyond Dick wearing pants.

Because he wasn't. He kinda had the same mentality that Didio had, he has stated that he doesn't think there is a reason for Nightwing, Dick should be Robin or not being anything.

Maybe he changed his mind, who knows.
The only thing i know is that i'll have to bite my tongue about all the stuff i said about him if he indeed make this happen.

[SiegePerilous02]

I'm kinda long past the point where I'd trust Timm with any characters I like, so that kind of takes a bit of the excitement away

So, Dick as Robin will continue to have pants. It seems Jason will be the only Robin with trunks now.

[Avi]

Okay, wow, so many news.

Animated Series: That would be really cool, not sure how I feel about Timm though.

Robins: I'm looking forward to Seeley writing Dick again and I think he'll do a good job. Hopefully he'll integrate that Tim is Bi and Dick is Romani. DC needs to be consistent with both going forward and Seeley should be able to write them as such.

Robin & Batman: Yes. Just yes. I've never gotten into Lemire's books, but I think this is gonna be interesting.

That looks awesome.

Same, I hope he’s not involved if it happens. He’s doing that Caped Crusader cartoon anyway, he should just stick to that.
