    While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

    It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

    "Nightwing: The Series" is a five-part mini-series from 2014. It is an American English-language production by Danny Shepherd and Jeremy Le. Shepherd also plays the main character in here, namely the superhero Nightwing, formerly Batman's loyal aide Robin. Nightwing goes rogue when the Joker (apparently) kills Robin's boyfriend Barbara Gordon. But strangely enough, Nightwing's Anger is not directed against the Superclown, but instead against the super-villain Deathstroke. Ant it takes two attempts to beat him. The episodes run between 7-8 minutes (the first two) and 15 minutes (the last one), so the entire thing is about 50 minutes long, but this includes a whole lot of credits too, which means you can easily watch it in one go. The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger, so it may be possible the story continues at some point. Maybe Batman will also reappear as we see him as a supporting character occasionally in his human form here. I enjoyed episodes one and two, but then the film gets worse in quality and also stays like that until the end, which makes it a watch for me that was not very memorable and also not very realistic. I also think creator Shepherd should have cast somebody else for the title character as he never carried the superhero character convincingly.

    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.

    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....

    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.
