FAN MADE: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES' John Blake As Nightwing

Check out this cool mock-up of GCPD officer John Blake (Joseph Gordon Levitt) as Gotham City's junior protector, Nightwing. If you still haven't seen TDKR (seriously, you still haven't seen TDKR?), Spoilers ahead..

So at the end of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises we find out that John Blake is this movie universe's version of Robin -- kinda. I think giving Blake the real first name "Robin" is more of a nod to the fans, as it's pretty clear the character will now become Batman's successor, and not his sidekick. So perhaps Nightwing would be a more appropriate name for him? We may never find out of course, but this pic gives us a pretty good idea of how a Nolanized version of Blake in a Nightwing style costume might look..



Not sure who to credit for the pic (if one of you guys do please let us know) but it popped up over at the TDKR Facebook fan-page.

I like the idea of him as Nightwing but that pic isn't good.

Nice, now all he needs is some money and years of martial arts training with Batman and he is good to go. :P

They need to make a nightwing movie with JGL
bbarber2323
bbarber2323 - 7/26/2012, 10:41 AM
Maybe for the reboot they use JGL and not have Bruce Wayne? I actually think that could be cool. Then at some point they could always bring Bruce back and have JGL turn into Robin or Nightwing. Like lets say by Justice League 2, they need all the help they can get. So they find Bruce and get him to come back. I think that could be a good way to still include Nolans films and acknoledge that they happened. That also opens the door for the Joker. Bane would be lost tho. Idk...just a thought.

Isn't it funny how in the movie Batman told Blake thanks for the help and told him to wear a mask and

Blake said "I don't want to wear a mask"

I'd have preferred it if he actually turned out to be Azrael. Maybe not all mystical and all, but like so many of the other characters, in name only at least.

I've said it before in other posts, I think it would've been awesome if he'd told that woman that his last name was actually 'Valley' instead of his first name being 'Robin.'

Since his first name in the film is John, it makes since that it could actually be Jean-Paul.

But that's just me.

Gay

Almost as gay as writing a “thank you” letter then broadcasting in over multiple threads. Almost, but not quite that bad.

Only issue I have with this is with this mask, Gordon would know exactly who he is. Still surprised he didnt know who Batman was. SMH

I like it! I would love if this happened. Nolan just brain [frick]ed us all and he'll be back in 4 years!

I can't believe you guys call yourselves Batman fans what Nolan did is comicbook blasphemy there has been many to have worn the bat mantel and robin mantel not one name john Blake and this MoFo creates his own character instead of use Grayson, Tobb, or hell even Damion its just disrespectful
