Five Actors Who Could Portray NIGHTWING

meh pretty poor if im honest

JGL. All the way.

At a glance I thought the first guy was Chris O'Donnel.

I don't really agree with any of these choices, but I would actually recommend NPH. Neil voiced Nightwing in Batman: under the red hood. He has the physique to wear the tights and the comic delivery for the quips. I think he could pull it off.

I like the Harry Lloyd choice. Nightwing needs to be a less brooding character for sure.

JGL for sure.

Nightwing without Bats would be risky and WB dont seem to be taking any risks

Joseph Gordon-Levitt...I don't know, man. I absolutely love him as an actor (especially Looper), but "John Blake" is enough a CBM experience for him, I think. Putting him in the role of Nightwing may just confuse general audiences, and I'm against the idea of his character in The Dark Knight Rises to make further appearances in the future reboot movie. Not completely, but I'd rather not.

Neil Patrick Harris is another actor which I'm a big fan of, who's already in his 40's, while Nightwing is...um, Batman's apprentice. Just saying.

IM53: I know, but he's way too old for a former Batman sidekick, don't you think? Well, unless it's Batman Beyond, or The Dark Knight Returns...

@InfiniteMonkey-
agreed

The hardest part from casting a character like Nightwing is that physically, the guy has to look both believable as a former sidekick as Batman's, while also mature enough at the same time that you can actually see him one day donning the mantle of his mentor.



I've been hearing Sam Witwer's name being thrown around for the new Batman, but I know that's he's still too young-looking for the Bruce Wayne Batman. However, he is indeed a great actor who can embody Batman's characteristics easily, and he's both youthful and mature enough to fit a character like Dick Grayson. Yeah, I realize that he's closing to his late 30's, but to be fair, he still looks like he's in his early 30's! I have pretty much the same reasons for Ben Barnes.



Jared Padalecki, meanwhile, has experienced nearly everything in becoming a young hero in Supernatural. The downside is that, he's more youthful than mature in appearance, although for a big screen Nightwing (which most likely will never become the new Batman in the future), I think that's not that much of a problem.

And, what's with the sudden love for Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Again, I adore him as an actor, but don't people here put his appearance in The Dark Knight Rises into considerations?

Despite his age, Matthew Bomer is already mature enough to become something more than Nightwing. And that is? Yeah, Bruce Wayne himself.



IM53: I think, I'm all for Neil Patrick Harris as Dick Grayson in the Batman Beyond universe. Especially, for his interesting arc, such as in Hush Beyond...





Tell that guy to do drama, and he'll pull it off. Great actor.

I think the best way to do it is to look for someone who could grow into Nightwing. For me the most interesting aspect of bringing Dick Grayson to life is that we can really see the character grow and evolve. Nightwing is awesome as a culmination of Dick Grayson's coming of age story and a transition into something new. As a starting point, it's not nearly as interesting.

JGL hands down.If not him,somebody mentioned Kevin Zegers I remember him from Air Bud.
