Dick Grayson. A young boy living with his parents in a travelling circus. All was well until the two parents fell to there death leaving the boy orphaned and alone. Then business man Bruce Wayne took the boy under his wing and reviled his secret. Bruce Wayne was Batman, the legendary dark knight and protector of Gotham. Soon the two became the dynamic duo Batman and Robin. However soon the Grayson could no longer live with being in his mentors shadow and he set out to forge his own path. He became NIGHTWING.
Lets talk Nightwing. I love this guy. He has a had a really successfully run. He started off as side kick, then team leader and then full fledge Superhero. He has had some of the best character development progress and has even become batman. But I find that DC isn't using that right. I will be separating this post into Three sections
Court of Owls
Forever Evil
007
Lets get started.
Court of Owls
How many of you have read Court of Owls? How many of you read Night of the Owls? How many of you loved the Nightwing section in the novel. I know I did. So it turns out that Nightwing was never supposed to become Nightwing. He was supposed to become the next Talon assassin for the Court of Owls and his great grand father William Cobb had planned it all out. So now after the Night of the Owls is done and Gotham is in peace, what was the fate of Nightwing? There was nothing. Nothing happened to Nightwing after the Night. And I really think that DC dropped the ball on that one. Nightwing is more connected to the Court of Owls then even Batman and they could have exploited that. Now I know that Nightwing was in the middle of his own story when Night of the Owls happened but that could have easily been wrapped up. The hunt for Tony Zucco wasn't really my favourite adventure for the former boy wonder. It was cool but it just didn't seem as grand as it could have been. But just imagine this. After the Night of the Owls the Court is slowly slipping into Bludhaven taking control of the City and there only threat is Nightwing. However seeing what Nightwing is capable off the Court decides that they shall turn him into the greatest Talon ever.So they kidnap all the people that are special to Nightwing and force him it a new labyrinth. Nightwings only chose is to team up with his great grandfather: The former Talon WILLIAM COBB. But what else does the Court in store for Nightwing and can he trust Cobb? I would personally like to see that happen, I just might even write it.
Forever Evil
I have nothing against forever evil I am loving the event but I don't really like what they did with Nightwing. When all the other Heroes are gone and the Justice League is dead we need all of the heroes we can get. But DC decided that they were going to turn Nightwing into a damsel in distress. Within like the first three pages Nightwing is captured and his secret identity is reviled. I would have liked to see the story revolve around Nightwing. Nightwing could have his own little resistance of heroes fighting the Syndicate and now he has to deal with the responsibility of trying to Safeguard the whole world. Now I know if Batman was in this position he would handle it no sweat. But Dick is not Bruce and that would make Dick start to question if he really can really be Batman when Bruce is done or dead. But now he doesn't have the choose and has to make alliances with Villians like Luthor and his Gang.
Might just write that too.
007
I have already said what I like and don't like about Nightwings new gig in the last post so lets talk about something else. Why Nightwing? Why out of all the characters in the DC universe did they pick Nightwing? I think that this is unnecessary development. Dick Grayson was robin and then he became Nightwing, he is the golden boy. Nightwing doesn't need any more problems in his life. If your going to pick on a robin pick on Tim Drake. Tim Drake hasn't really done anything in the new universe and his is pretty boring. He has a one sided personality and makes it really annoying to read Teen Titans. One of the best things about the Titans is there inner conflict and how they form a family between one another. And lets face it Tim has not done anything in the New 52. This could have been a perfect moment for Tim to finally forge his own path and have some development of his own. Right now is just a Batman want to be that never really got over the fact that he isn't robin any more. I think the name "Red Robin" is so lazy and stinks of desperation.
Alright so Nightwing tell me what you think of my ideas. Tell me if and why you like the New Nightwing and would you read me stories?
This also my 50th post!!!! Can you belive it I've made 50 of this dumb things :)
