Not only does it look like Nightwing is indeed going to be in Batman v s. Superman, but the actor to play him may have been found. The Wrap is reporting that Adam Driver, best known for his role on HBO’s Girls, is the frontrunner to play Dick Grayson / Nightwing in the superhero crossover film. The Wrap cites “two individuals familiar with the project” as their source, noting Warner Bros. has no comment. However, they add it's not a done deal and there are at least two other actors still in contention for the role as well, according to one of their sources.

Warner Bros. of course have not been revealing any further details about the film since announcing Ben Affleck as Batman, even as word spread recently that Nightwing was likely a part of the story – and now speculation grows that casting for a crucial female part may be for Wonder Woman, or at least “Diana Prince.” Driver will be appearing in his third season of Girls in 2014 and had a small role in Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln. A former Marine -- he signed up after the September 11th attacks -- Driver will also be seen next year in This is where I Leave You playing the brother to Tina Fey, Jason Bateman and Corey Stoll. The Wrap says Driver made a strong impression in that film, which is from Warner Bros., putting him in the studio’s spotlight as they looked for their Nightwing.
