Nightwing Belongs on the Streets of Blüdhaven

Variant Cover by Ethan Young

Taylor and Redondo tookNightwing in a new directionthat fans had n’t really view from him before . Instead of being a street - point poor boy who hold on mugger and press gangsters , Nightwing instead became a billionaire who invest in the city directly , addressing the systemic proceeds of crime . This fresh focal point was a fun change of pace for Nightwing , but it ultimately had the problem of establish Nightwing ’s yield much bragging . If Nightwing is constantly using his new wealth to secure the systemic issues of Blüdhaven , then he does n’t really have to struggle street crime any longer , which moves him out from where his character in the beginning thrive .

I believe Nightwing genuinely flourish when he was helping multitude directly .

Status quo changes for superheroes are fine — great , even . Batman is presently going through something like after losing his fortune and no longer have Alfred to rely on . But I believe Nightwing truly thrived when he was serve people directly . Using his wealth to economize the city is a outstanding theme , but it make thing a turn too collateral and moves him away from seeing the people he saves . Nightwing ’s clock time on the street always had him oppose gangsters , with Nightwing fighting Blockbusteras a major part of Dixon ’s initial foot race onNightwing . Nightwing even became a copso he could expend his full sidereal day and dark protect the people of Blüdhaven .

Nightwing Has Always Done His Best Work as a Street-Level Hero

Variant Cover by Gleb Melnikov

A big theme of Nightwing ’s early escapade was his trying to stand out from Batman . He stand up on his own , not even accepting Bruce ’s money , and he was in a city far more corrupt and dangerous than Gotham — because , unlike Gotham , Blüdhaven did n’t have a Batman to protect it . I in truth trust that this work well when Nightwing was contend gangsters and expose crooked police with his own two handwriting , on the streets of Blüdhaven . Using his inherit riches to save the city is a great modification from the status quo , but ultimately , it ’s not whereNightwingbelongs .
