Why Asher Angel Would Be Great For The DCU’s Nightwing

The Shazam! Actor Has The Charisma For Dick Grayson

Angel was part of the DCEU , play the new Billy Batson in twoShazam!movies . While the Hero of Alexandria ’s franchise faltered with a divisive 2d picture , which underperform alongside the rest of the last movies in the DCEU , Angel ’s performances in the role never strayed from anything but great . By the 2d moving picture , the actor ’s take on Billy was easy the better one between him and his adult opposite number , who was dally by Zachary Levi .

Now older , at 21 , Angel could finally play a superhero for DC . With Jason Momoa being rumor to ditch Aquaman behind in favour of playing Lobo in the new DCU , James Gunn and Peter Safran could be looking at finding new roles for other popular DCEU role player . Angel would fit that , and the actor has the years and skills to play Dick Grayson in the DCU . WithGunn say that Batman might be just a little older than Superman — who is 30 — in the DCU , Angel could play Nightwing convincingly .

In the DCEU’sShazam!movies , Angel show that he would be perfect for the DCU ’s Nightwing . His charismatic performance as Billy Batson screamed Dick Grayson , with the role player also being the excited core of his two DCEU movies even from a young age , showing the potential he could have with a big part likeNightwing . Angel ’s Dick Grayson could be a skilled hoagie , love by all other DCU characters , just like Dick in the funnies , and serve as the best brother to the other extremity of the DCU ’s Bat - Family .
