Also, the project was likely scrapped due to the different directions the Batman characters take under the direction of James Gunn

AND Peter Safran.

Originally a film about Nightwing it was supposed to be related to the plan of the movie about Batman Affleck, but after the announcement of “Batman” with Robert Pattinson in the title role, the future Affleck How The Dark Knight it has become undefined. Although there were rumors about a possible translator for Nightwinglike Dylan O’Brien, the project appears to have been permanently cancelled.

Cancellation is also likely due to uncertainty about the future of the DCEU: after the failure Justice League

and a change in the vision of the studio, the future of the characters ANNOUNCEMENT became foggy. Gann AND Safran took control of DC Studios and announced a new story about Batmanwhose main character will be Batman and new version Robin, Damian Wayne.
