The cinematic world of DC is about to get bigger thanks to the recent announcement for a solo movie of Nightwing. While the details are scarce about the actors, plot and release date, the man behind the camera should make fans of the popular superhero excited about the movie adaptation.

Nightwing Confirmed for Solo Release

Batman and Superman are the only DC characters that enjoyed big budget release in recent memory but that's about to change when everyone in Justice League gets their own big budget release. Fortunately, DC is not only focusing on limited characters as Uproxx reported that Nightwing will have his solo movie soon.

Nightwing is a superhero who grew up under the wings of Batman. As grown up Robin Hood, he decided to work alone and face different types of villains in different cities. It's also worth noting that unlike Batman, Nightwing doesn't get stuck in Gotham since he's practically transferring from one city to another.

While the adaptation of Nightwing as a solo movie sounds exciting, the proposed director by Warner Bros. could make the film something really interesting. According to Paste Magazine, Warner Bros. is ironing out the details with director Chris McKay for the upcoming superhero film. McKay's credentials are solid when it comes to wise cracks and superheroes: he's the director of "Lego Batman" with stints at "Robot Chicken."

Unknown Release Date and Timeline

The only news about the upcoming solo film for now is the confirmation of its impeding release and its possible director. However, fans of DC should be excited about the possible release of Nightwing because it is a unique character borne out of Batman. The exact timeline of Nightwing in relation to the current films released from DC is also unknown but the film should provide some careful explanation about his presence on the events leading to the recently released films.
