Nightwing: The Series

Well this will be my first review, ever. And so I thought I would put a good word in for this mini-series. A lot of times I'm reading reviews from people that are just bashing the hell out of a good series, for little or no 'good' reason. If you see a series that is fan made, don't expect a Star Wars type production. Take it for what it is supposed to be. Entertainment. I don't judge on the 'quality' of the sets or costumes, as they are based on a comic book world, so they can make them look any way they want. I saw reference to someone 'liking it better than Supergirl'. Well that in itself is a huge compliment to the cast, crew, writers, directors and everyone involved. Supergirl is a Berlanti Productions film, released by Warner Bros. Television. So they would have had a much higher budget, which relates to better sets, locations, cameras, CGI and actors/actresses. Just to name a few things. I personally liked Supergirl better, but for the right reasons. And I wouldn't dare to compare the two.

I think the acting was fine. The fight scenes, with the exception of one, were really good. And for the budget they had, the CGI is really awesome. I would definitely like to see more of this. Kudos to all that worked towards or financed this little gem!

And BTW, I have been a comic book reader and movie goer for 51 years. I bought my first comic when I was 9, in 1964.

My name's Bob, and I support this review. whew....

I am pretty shocked. I thought this would be the world's worst fan made series ever, but I was surprised. It actually is pretty incredible. Super low budget, but acting is pretty good for a fan series and also the action, and also the script and soundtrack were surprisingly talented. Not only that but, the effects were very sophisticated for a fan series, and what not. If you are bored out of your mind, and are a DC fan you might want to check this out. Us fans might learn a thing or to on how to create a proper fan made series from this one.

Nightwing is a online series which was made by fans and the creators really knew well the characters ,the comic book story lines and what surprised me was the quality of the action ,the costumes and the dept of the characters. The crazy thing is that this mini-series with the shoe-string budget and all five episodes last just short of forty five minutes manage to have cinematic quality like the today superhero television series of Daredevil, Flash, Arrow and Jessica Jones!

To the story line of the episodes, we follow Dick Grayson, the original Robin as he becomes Nightwing and makes a name of his own apart from the Dark Knight! His antagonist is Deathstroke and I will tell (write technically) it, he is much better than that from the Arrow, for here the costume is also exactly like that from the comics and animated series and we him in action, boy he is a bad ass through and through ,even Punisher would had a hard time putting him down. In the story we see elements from some of the most famous story lines of the Dark Knight mythology, like A Death in the Family, The Killing Joke (fingers crossed for the film at the end of the month) and even Red Hood. Also the costume of Dick is like it left from the comics in to the screen and it was amazing , for real if the series was put in the television map it would be the Daredevil of DC! I am serious is that good!

As I said the series is about 45 minutes long ,with a small budget ,but with so little it manages to be the film about Nightwing everyone ,myself included ,want to see. For real since the cancer that is Batman and Robin we haven't seen Mr. Gryason in the big screen ,someone in the studio I wish to see that series and make this dream a reality for it is a shame to have redeemed the Dark Kinght from that abomination and not the rest of the Bat Family. Nightwing also ,I am certain for that, would be a nice change from the type of Batman we have seen up to now. He is far more funny, quoting and a bit less serious than Batman, logical he is younger than him and wasn't trained by ninjas, so someone can say that if Batman is the Captain America of the Family then Nightwing is Spiderman. And with such acrobatic skills why not?

Finally as the Cape Crusader say to him "You are a detective and my son you can find a solution" ,which is true for Grayson is trained from the best and when the time comes the legacy must be continued and he has the skills, experience and balls to do it!! If you are a fan of the Batman Family then you watch it now!!!!

Nightwing: The Series has a lot of heart, and ultimately leaves the viewer hooked for the next episode in the series. All acting is true to the comic book counterparts, and the costumes are awe-inspiring for any fan. The narrative is great; holding a consistent story following Grayson's life as a masked crime fighter, and the pursuit of the mysterious Deathstroke. With this, the series' cinematography and stunt coordination throughout each episode is flawless, with both practical and digital effects used.

Overall, Nightwing: The Series is an excellent online series that leaves the community wanting more from the team at Ismahawk, and eagerly awaiting news on a second series.

Good attempt. Horrible acting and fight scenes are too drawn out. The actors look a bit soft. They all look like they should be going out to the club. I was also not impressed with Robin's original outfit. It looked a bit plastic, bubble gum and made from the arts and crafts store. Could have been made a little more dark. I respect the fact that this series is made with little funding. I think what made it bad for me again was the over bad acting. The dramatic scenes are strange and unbelievable. I do understand this was a fun project for them and was a great idea. Not bad attempt though for a fan made thing. I did like it way more than the new super girl and a lot More than other fan films out there.
