DC Universe confirms Dick Grayson will become Nightwing in 'Titans' Season 2 finale, unveils first official look at new super-suit
Fans have wanted to see Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) take up the Nightwing identity since the very beginning of DC Universe's 'Titans'. Now after a very long wait, we've finally received our first look at the suit that Thwaites will be wearing as Nightwing.
The highly anticipated Nightwing costume was officially unveiled on November 21 during a special press event for the show. The suit was unveiled at the event by executive producer and showrunner Greg Walker and specialty costume designer Laura Jean Shannon. After the unveiling, Walker and Shannon also participated in a Q&A session alongside creative members of the costume team.
The Nightwing suit has been designed by Shannon with the support of her team to be faithful to the comic book design with some modifications that make it more suited to live-action. Coincidentally, this is the first time we're getting a live-action portrayal of Nightwing, who has so far only been seen in print and animation.
The suit was built by Creative Character Engineering based on Shannon's designs. Dick has been through quite a journey on the path to becoming Nightwing and while it's been a very long wait for this moment, fans will have to wait just a little while longer as DC Universe has confirmed the suit will make its debut during the Season 2 finale episode of 'Titans'.
Though the Nightwing outfit was the highlight of the event, other super-suit costumes used by characters like Jason Todd / Robin (Curran Walters), Wonder Girl / Donna Troy (Conor Leslie), Aqualad / Garth (Drew Van Acker), Hawk / Hank Hall (Alan Ritchson), Dove / Dawn Granger (Minka Kelly), Ravager / Rose Wilson (Chelsea Zhang) and Deathstroke / Slade Wilson (Esai Morales) were also on display at the event. All suits were designed by Shannon with the support of her team and built by Creative Character Engineering.
The Season 2 finale of 'Titans', titled 'Nightwing', debuts Friday, November 29, exclusively on DC Universe. All Season 1 episodes are available for streaming on the website.
