Do you think Peter P:etrelli makes a good Nightwing?

Raised in Haly’s Circus as a skilled trapeze artist, Dick Grayson studied under Batman for years as the first Robin until maturing into the hero called Nightwing. He would eventually assume his mentor’s role for a short term, but recently reclaimed the identity of Nightwing upon Bruce Wayne's return.

I once read an interview (must be the 50th time I said that) that Peter Petrelli or Milo Ventimiglia is Batman fan and has expressed interest in portraying Nightwing.

It would be cool to see him do Nightwing or at least a young Batman/ Bruce.

He's certainly got the looks for it. I tried imagining him with the Nightwing mask.

So what do you guys think? I know I'm sounding like a fanboy.

His height is okay with me.

OMD! He is too short!(Get it OMD) Still he does seem like the ideal choice.

Oh and I aren't gay if that's what you're thinking, I'm just voicing my opinion.

Hmmm, compares Nightwing pics to actor Man I'm kinda into this one, I'm wondering how they could pull off the costume.

From what i've seen in Heroes he's cool, but his acting isn't all that good. So he has the looks a bit but i can't fully see Him acting as Nightwing.

Nightwing in the DC Encylopedia is 5'10 weighing 175 lbs.

Batman in DC Encylopedia is 6' 210 lbs. Christian Bale when playing Batman Begins was like 190lbs and about 5'9".

So yeah he has he look but he would need to adjust his acting so that he portrays a person totally different that from himself. Dick Grayson is a team player and a all around friendly guy who is sensitive towards others needs. Whoever plays Dick Grayson would need to portray those qualities plus the personalty traits of a lost teenager trying to get out of Batman's shadow for the upcoming Teen Titans movie.

Firstly Christian Bale is 6' dead.

Secondly Milo Ventimiligia is like in the 5'8" or 5'9" range so he's around Nightwing's height, plus he has the look, and he's a good enough actor.

If he bufs up then he might pull it off we will probably never se it happen

Appearance-wise, sure. He could pull off the look.
Acting-wise... while I like the guy, his acting could use some fine tuning. If you want to reference some of his other role aside from Heroes, watch Cursed (werewolf flick) or Pathology (Just an effed up movie)
