Possible Robin/Nightwing Film?

So as the dark knight trilogy has finally come to a very sad end there was a hint of a possible robin or night wing film with Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing as the costumed hero? The first hint is when John Blake goes to the orphanage and gives the receptionist his real first name which is Robin. As the receptionist says that it is a really nice name it gives us fans a little twinge hoping for a new film to be in the works.

The second big hint is that at the end of the Dark Knight Rises, when Blake is given coordinates to the batcave as Bruce Wayne/Batman leaves Gotham city with Selina Kyle (Catwoman). There is no explanation within the film why he has gone there so potentially it is building up to a new film.

Blake's attitude towards crime and helping people, especially the boys in the orphanage (seen in the Dark Knight Rises), is very similar to Batman’s attitude, as well as the circumstances in which the two grew up (both with dead parents) which could show that he would want to carry on the legacy off the Dark Knight if Gotham needs it (which personally I hope they really do)

There are some sceptical people though who think that having a Nightwing film would be too much of a niche target audience as possibly only the hardcore comic fans would know about the story of Nightwing. I believe however that would all be explained if the film went into production.

If it does go into the works then the obvious person to be directing it would be Christopher Nolan. The man did an amazing job with the latest trilogy; far beyond the fun kind of film of Batman and Robin and Batman Forever whilst still maintain the dark edge of the Tim Burton films. We all know Nolan will deliver in making an incredible film if we hopeful fans are right.

So if this movie does happen who would you like to see as the main villain for Robin or Nightwing to thwart? Please comment below with your suggestion.
