A New Terror Emerges To Continue The Nightwing Story Arc In THE DARK KNIGHT LEGACY

Machninima continues to lend its viewing audience the goods with Monday’s newly unveiled Batman-oriented fan film, The Dark Knight Legacy. Pitched as the start of a reboot of the story continuing one year from where director Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy left off in the 2012 film, The Dark Knight Legacy relaunches “Robin” John Blake’s story as he sets out to protect Gotham from a new masked vigilante known as Red Hood, threatening to reignite chaos with the spilled blood of the criminal underworld. Interestingly enough, the brand new action short film also comes a few days after actor Harry Shum Jr. (Step Up 2 The Streets, Step Up 3D, The LXD, Mortal Kombat Legacy 2) was quoted in an article at MTV Geek sharing his own interest with reporters in playing Nightwing, which does share some appeal in the sense that it could get more people talking. And who knows? If there is a bigger push from the fanbase, we might just get that nightwing story we’ve all been curious about.

Granted, this isn’t the only time we have seen the character pop up online. If you do a random nightwing search on YouTube, you’re bound to come across something in one form or another. So it pretty much goes without saying that there’s definitely a vested interest from fans and content creators about what a major feature-length studio production would look like if one was greenlit.

For now though, we have the internet at our disposal, with producers Denise Pantoja and TJ Rotell and editor/director Brett Register ready to see how far their own take on the story will go. And on that note, you can CLICK HERE to find out more on how you can make that happen.

The Dark Knight Legacy is written by Woody Tondorf and Chris Landa, and stars Daniel Vincent Gordh and Jason Todd, along with Brian Kimmet, Craig Frank, Aoni Ma, Bonjah, Jack Conway, Jin Kelley, Armand Vasquez and Chloe Dykstra, with action coordination by EMC Monkeys.
