I get people love to hate on Ric, but this might be the most Dick Grayson Nightwing has been in a long time.
I keep hearing the word Edgy about this book. There is absolutely nothing edgy about it. It’s about a guy that lost his memory but still is a hero no matter what name he goes by.
I’ll say that there was definitely potential from what I’ve seen, but as it was starting and coming out, I just lost interest rather quickly.
I’ll do you one better on that hot take: while the Nightwing stuff after was pretty solid and fun superhero comics, seeing Dick flounder around the past few years make me think that he really should have just dropped the superhero identity entirely and stuck to Dick Grayson: super spy. It gave him a unique hook that almost no one else in the DCU has, and still fits his character pretty well.
I’ve enjoyed it somewhat but I’m about ready for Ric to exit stage left at this point. I want Dick back. It really sucks with the stuff going on in Batman that we couldn’t have Dick involved.
I am hate reading this series I cringe every time he or anyone else says Ric grayson in the book it’s just annoying I hate that Dan Dido has such a lack of respect for the legacy characters it’s one of the things that’s makes DC great and one thing that marvel doesn’t do quite as good as they do
If it didn’t repeat the same “I’m not Dick anymore I’m Ric now.” For the first 3-5 pages of every issue it would be better. Also if it focused on Dick rather than on trying to make me like a half dozen new character’s I couldn’t care less about. Dick just went through something huge, focus on him instead of making two-thirds of every book centered around these other Nightwings. I feel like every book is rinse and repeat with “I’m not Dick anymore” then 10 pages of the other Nightwings and ending with Ric saving them or something. The plot centered around characters I don’t care about hardly moves each issue and this should have been wrapped up a good 6 months ago.
