With the recent theatrical release of The Batman and the return of Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck’s Batmen in The Flash later this year, DC’s Caped Crusader is getting developed in some pretty significant ways on the big screen. Fans have definitely been curious to see what the future holds for the larger “Bat family” of characters in the film space, especially as HBO Max’s Batgirl film will build out the world of Barbara Gordon / Batgirl (Leslie Grace). One recent rumor that has swirled is that Teen Wolf and The Maze Runner star Dylan O’Brien will be joining Batgirl as Dick Grayson / Nightwing — and apparently, the rumor has gotten back to O’Brien himself. During a recent appearance on the Post Cred Podcast, O’Brien revealed that he’s “aware” of the fancasting, but has not heard anything professionally about it.
Dylan O’Brien on being frequently fan-cast as Nightwing:“I’m aware of it, I’ve seen a lot of it. I’ve not heard anything about it on the professional side, but it’s cool that it made its way to me, to the point where I asked my manager ‘Is this even an actual thing?’” 🦇👀 pic.twitter.com/tEFgrJiVuz
