Internet Reacts to Nightwing Movie News

On Thursday, it was reported that Warner Bros. is developing a live-action Nightwing movie that will be part of the DC Extended Universe. It is going to be helmed by The LEGO Batman Movie director, Chris McKay, and written by Bill Dubuque, who penned WB's The Judge and, more recently, The Accountant.

As you would suspect, most everyone is elated with the news. Most people are channeling their excitement by focusing on which lucky actor should play the part, and there is no shortage of suggestions. However, instead of being concerned about how talented the actor should be, there is a surprising number of people that are shallowly fixated on finding an actor that has a world-class backside you can bounce a quarter off of. Some of the names (and butts) being bandied about include: Steven R. McQueen, Jack Falahee, Casey Affleck, Steven Yeun, Matt Bomer, Blake Jenner, and iZombie's Rahul Kohli.

Of course, not everyone is happy with the news. There's a small contingent that wishes WB had introduced Dick Grayson properly, not skipping ahead to Nightwing. They want to see Dick witnessing his acrobatic family tragically die before his eyes, having Bruce Wayne take him and train him to be the first Robin, and then, as he gets older, butting heads with his superhero mentor, causing them to have a falling out that leads Dick to becoming Nightwing — the protector of Gotham's sister city, Bludhaven.
