#DeletedScenes - Nightwing: The Animated Series

Here's one canned project that makes me really sad...


It seems that back in 2009, when Warner started looking into making the next (Bat-)animated series based on DC proprieties, they looked into giving Nightwing is very own show!

Kihyun Ryu (Legend of Korra) was assigned the role of supervising producer.

This Nightwing centred show was thrown around, but like that previously-mentioned Bat-Family series it also got canceled.
Which is sad.
Why do they keep rejecting good ideas?!

Okay, I suppose by now you want to see how things could have been?
Here's the official original character sheet from this would be-show's very own chara designer- Kihyun Ryu - from his deviantart page at blacksataguni

First of some pics of Nightwing:



Original, yet still very recognizable.
I like it!

Now, a look at his Dick Grayson appearance...


Reminds me of Chuck Dixon's run on Nightwing's Dick. When he lived in Bludhaven and lived in that one fun apartement, tried to become a cop and all..

And apparently, Raven was going to appear as a secondary character (alongside other Titans?)
Check this out:


Outstanding!
Reminds me how she looked back in Geoff Johns run on Teen Titans (the comic!)

...and that's all we'll get!
The show got canned because Warner got interested in a live Nightwing series..which got canned faster than you can say Shazam!
That's dumb Hollywood producers mentality for ya!~

  1. I would have loved a Nightwing show! To bad it fell through. Seems like they manage to tank all the good ideas - but they keep around reality tv by the bucket load :(
