Justice League is looking like it's not going have a good weekend, and it feels like the future of the DCEU might be up in the air — but director of the upcoming Nightwing film Chris McKay has been vocal on Twitter, talking up the new project. First, he says casting will be open, but those who are interested should make sure that they have an agent.

Re Nightwing Casting. Have an agent or manager submit your work. To the studio. An agent or manager protects you and also is an endorsement of your character. It means you take yourself and your career seriously… and so does someone else.

There will be an open casting call but that is like Vegas odds for sure. Don't leave your career up to chance. Believe in yourself. Bet on yourself. Get an agent or a manager.

So a fan jumped in and decided to give McKay some crap for his version of Robin in The LEGO Batman Movie — as if they were two things that were, in any way, relevant. McKay replied that he should be assured that his version of Nightwing will be different from other Gotham-based properties.

This movie will be different than LEGO Batman, different than any other Gotham based film or TV show and will be a wholly original look at Robin/Dick Grayson. Don't lose hope.

The Nightwing movie is one of many that is currently in flux. It doesn't have a release date and the future of the DCEU is currently unknown. But McKay has hinted that he would like to start production within the next year, so we'll have to see what ends up happening and what kind of fallout comes from Justice League.
