The Sinister Six Vs. Nightwing

 

There was talk of a Nightwing movie in the works for a while, but I don't know if that project is alive anymore.  Perhaps if Batgirl is a hit with audiences, Warner Bros will take another look at the property.  Will there be a mention of Dick Grayson in that movie?  With Michael Keaton's Batman due to show up there, we might get a clue as to what the boy wonder's cinematic future holds.

Just two questions, Ross.

1) Is this the reason Nightwing was unavailable for membership in Wing Command?

2) Is "Sill" a reference to Silhouette of the New Warriors?*

*A team-up between her and Nightwing might make for an interesting sequel! :-)

Ross said...

No wings was a bigger issue. A typo, I'll fix when I'm back home.

Btw: Today marks the 75th anniversary of the first published news story concerning the Roswell Incident.* This raises the question...has everybody else who usually comments here been UFO-napped?



*By which point, I was hoping we would have "developed" faster-than-light space travel for real!

I wonder who'd be in a 'Sinister Six' organised from out of Nightwing's actual opponents from DC Comics?

@Cary: Well, I only consider this a merely "above average" effort of Ross's (compared to the overall body of work; he's set a pretty high bar over the years), and I really don't give two refried beans about what DC/WB is doing with its fragmented, stupidity-stained universe.

In other news, I saw Thor: Love & Thunder yesterday afternoon, and it's definitely worth the trip to the theater. I have some remarks about a couple of the supporting cast, but even mentioning them by name this early would constitute spoilers.

And Dick's first question to the assembled body was "Are all of you enjoying this CON-Vention as much as me? Hey Gobbie, Joker wants his material back."
With this group, the next movie will probably be called 'Glove and Thunder.'

Where's the Good Witch when you really need her?

Just curious why rhino lizard and green goblin are seen as members of the sinister six here when that was never the case. Perhaps electro mysterio and kraven are still serving time and doc ock had to call in some backups

This is the Earth-STF Sinister Six so it all makes sense.

Bob Greenwade said...

That's right! Ross can make Captain Cold and Clayface part of the Sinister Six if he wants to!

@Triple H: last I heard, she and James Franco were creating tiny bubbles in the end credits of OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL. ;-)

P.S. @ Bob: The only trip that LOVE & BLUNDER is worth is to the nearest rest room to toss one's cookies (or popcorn or whatever other snacks were bought @ the concession stand). Because the only other summer release that makes it look half-way decent by comparison is the aptly-named NOPE!*

*As in, should anybody in their right mind waste their hard-earned money on that Jordan Peele snoozer? Nope!
