Titans Showrunner Discusses When We Should Expect Nightwing

Titans just premiered its second season on the DC Universe app. While I won’t spoil what happened for those who haven’t seen it yet, we know that the Titans team is growing. At the forefront is Dick Grayson, who may have burned his Robin suit, but has not become Nightwing yet. Fans wait for this iconic moment to happen and an interview with showrunner Greg Walker and Comicbook.com may reveal when we will get this:

“It’s in the shadows, so stay tuned if you really want Nightwing information this season, I think you’ll be satisfied by the end of the year.”

Walker then delved into the relationship between Dick and Bruce Wayne, a relationship that still weighs heavily on the first Robin:

“Well Bruce was a huge character on our show last year, you just didn’t see him, I mean for the most part. For Dick, he was omnipresent and it felt like we really needed to dive into Dick’s relationship with Bruce to really understand Dick better. I was really excited as a writer to go into Bruce Wayne. There’s been so much done about Batman but there’s not a ton about about being Bruce Wayne… Bruce is really awesome at being Batman, he’s kind of crappy at being Bruce. We wanted to work on Bruce Wayne trying to restore that relationship with Dick in a way get back to an updated version of father and son.”

Walker added:

“It could never be the Batman and Robin version anymore because Dick has grown past that and rebelled against it, but what could it be if it goes past that? You have to deal with forgiveness and moving on and kind of adult themes, so I was really excited about writing that. Iain, he has so much stature, he is such a gifted actor with his grace and elegance and weight that he can handle the drama of a man struggling to deal with his estranged son better than anybody I could think of.”
