Dick looks considerably older than his New 52 counterpart so I disagree with everyone saying his chest is too wide. I'd guess he's closer in age to his pre-52 counterpart putting him at about 26/27 years old. He's bound to be a little buffer than his 18 year old counterpart in Young Justice. I also think he looks buffer than he actually is due to how close up the shot is. In the other shot of Nightwing where he's with Bruce and Damian in the cave, he still looks considerably thinner than Batman.

Looks like Arkhamverse Nightwing to me. I can dig.

I'm so surprised that almost every form of media uses the bird motif for Nightwing (cartoons, games, animated films) and yet they haven't brought it into the comics yet. Don't get me wrong, I prefer the standard comics Nightwing chest design, but usually when something is so prevalent in other forms of media, they bring it into the comics.

I'm really glad Nightwing is in this, but I'm going to be really upset if Tim Drake is not.

Its great to see Nightwing, he is one of my favorites. I want to see Tim Drake in it to, because even though I love Nightwing, I love Tim to and he is crucial in the comic book. I don't just want to see Tim, but I'd also like an Oracle cameo, because both have yet to appear in the DC animated film. I'm a huge fan of the bat-family and hope to see more.

Phil Bourassa jumped the shark with the Flashpoint Paradox. Call me when he goes back to the style he used in Young Justice, Justice League: Doom, and Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.

@supbatz: you dont know what you are talking about? must the animation be perfect? you are the kind of person that complains on any little mistakes.

Clearly I am in the wrong for voicing my opinion. My most sincere apologies.

I like the way the costume look though I wish they went with the red logo instead. I think the Nightwing suit looks great with the red. Though it is nice to see the return of the classic blue. Also the mullet! I don't know why they brought back the mullet, but it actually looks good! Congrats DC Animation!

Looks as if Young Justice's Nightwing came by to continue the continuity to Son of Batman. It's also good to see that DC is finally putting out more New 52 animated movies!

I hate the bird symbol so much. And for some reason the animated projects love it.

@medulaoblaganda: The stills we've seen have been fine. That doesn't make them flawless. I just don't want a repeat of the awful Flashpoint animation. It'd be a shame to see declining animation quality in these films as time passes.

Emblem on chest looks like the old Thunderbird I(X-Men) insignia, or even the older Phoenix symbol. I LIKE IT!

Watching the sneak peek that was included with Justice: War kinda pissed me off.

Why change the relationships of the characters in such a fundamental way? It was always Tim that had a problem with Damien. But, of course, ever since the launch of The New 52 (which I like a lot of) Tim has been treated like crap. Either stuck in one of the worst books or completely forgotten.

Oh, awesome! Can't wait to watch this movie. Reminds me of Young Justice. I miss that TV series. It was a good series that shouldn't have been canceled.
