Nightwing
The most recent addition to the DCEU’s slate is a Nightwing solo movie, following Batman’s former sidekick Dick Grayson – the first Robin – as he goes it alone. Interestingly, The LEGO Batman Movie‘s Chris McKay is attached to direct, marking his first live-action work and – assuming that Nightwing is treated seriously – his first job outside of comedy. The Accountant‘s Bill Dubuque is providing the screenplay.
No news yet on who’s playing Grayson, but that hasn’t stopped half the internet from guessing.
Lobo
A movie based around DC’s indestructible, motorcycle-riding extra-terrestrial bounty hunter Lobo has been in the works for a while. Back in 2010, for instance, Guy Ritchie was attached to make the film. Since then, a number of cast and crew have come and gone – including Dwayne Johnson.
Last year, the project seemed to be finally back on track as Jason Fuchs was revealed to be writing the screenplay. We would imagine DC are looking for this one to capture some of Guardians of the Galaxy‘s outer-space magic, but don’t expect to see it come to fruition until next decade.
