Whereas followers may know Trevor Stines principally as Jason Blossom, whose physique washed up on the shore of Sweetwater River within the first episode of Riverdale, he is acquired his sights on one other comedian e book position down the road, too.
Throughout a go to to the set of Riverdale, Stines remarked that his dream position can be to play Dick Grayson — that is Nightwing to you and me — in both a TV or live-action movie iteration.
In fact, Nightwing hasn’t but appeared in live-action, and we have already seen loads of folks (most notably The Vampire Diaries’s Steven R. McQueen) lobbying for the gig, so Stines is not alone. He’s, although, in all probability one of many best-equipped to clarify why he desires the job that we have encountered but.
Throughout a livetweet of this week’s episode, “Chapter 3 – Physique Double,” Stines proved his comedian e book cred throughout business breaks, chatting with ComicBook.com and different comics-friendly information shops and making observations like how a lot he beloved Tim Seeley’s post-Rebirth run on Nightwing and lamenting the failure-to-launch of the Titans TV sequence that had been deliberate for TNT.
“I have been an enormous comedian e book fan my whole life. Nightwing all the time has caught out to me as a personality,” Stines instructed ComicBook.com after the livetweet. “I really like his design, and the character of Dick Grayson has all the time been an attention-grabbing one. Dick Grayson specifically I feel has all the time caught out to me as a result of he is the Robin who grew up. He is the one who labored below Batman, discovered the whole lot that Batman needed to train him, however then went off on his personal and have become a full-fledged superhero exterior of Batman’s shadow. I feel he is an important character, and there is such an important complexity in that relationship with Batman, and in that form of progress as an individual, to take one thing that somebody gave you and to make it your personal as a human being as an grownup, and to make use of it to assist folks.”
To this point, followers have not seen very a lot “heroic” out of Jason Blossom on Riverdale. Apart from the truth that he is lifeless, so the viewers sees him solely in fleeting moments in flashbacks and fantasy sequences, there’s the truth that the Blossom household as an entire appears to be pampered and merciless, with Jason implicated this week in a plot by the Riverdale soccer workforce to victimize women on the college.
That is not all there may be to him, although, and through a dialog with Stines and his co-star/onscreen sister Madelaine Petsch, they acquired to the guts of what makes their relationship particular, and lots of it boiled all the way down to Jason’s the Aristocracy and willingness to guard his sister.
Examine again nearer to the air date of the following Riverdale for some extra of that dialog.
