The cover art is guaranteed to raise eyebrows -- not that any Catwoman fan would hold seducing Nightwing against her (pun absolutely intended). But fans need not worry about Crimes of Passion injecting bombshells relationships or romantic entanglements into the ongoing DC continuity. Lucky for Batman, these books are purely to get the romantic and sentimental juices flowing. Fans can check out the official solicitations details and plot synopsis below:

Passion. Betrayal. Murder. When you’re a private investigator, these are things you experience daily. But when you add capes to the mix—like Batman, Catwoman and Harley Quinn? Things get even messier. The name’s Slam Bradley and I’m telling you that this year’s Valentine’s Day special has more intrigue than you can shake a stick at. Ten tales of love—the kind of love that can push people over the edge. Don’t miss it...or I’ll make you pay.
DC's Crimes of Passion will arrive at your local comic book shop on February 5th, 2020. The 80-page prestige one-shot will retail for #9.99 USD.[/QUOTE]
I am a simple woman I see Nightwing I buy. Although, Catwoman looking really great on the cover also helps.

I wonder if it won't be until April or May before the Ric story arc ends.

It looks like Jurgens is gearing up to finally end the Ric storyline. Great its been going on far to long. Although, I have to say Jurgens may be known for his Superman work but I have been really liking his work on Nightwing and his writing of the Batman Family. Both in this and Batman Beyond.

Just getting through the Forever Evil paperback now.. should be starting the Grayson series shortly. When does the Ric stuff start? Not sure I want to have those in TPB

It defo feels like their is only 1 or 2 issues to go but that still takes us into May before Dick returns.
I'll give the Court of Owls angle a shot though :)

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they are saving Dick’s full return as Dick until #75.

Starts at Nightwing (2016) #50. You got quite a ways to go before you need to worry about Ric.

Perfect, thank you :)

Tynion said that he wanted to get Dick back in the Batman title, so I guess we have to wait the end of his first story arc.
Also, in february we are getting The Lost Carnival. Am I wrong, or this is the first Dick's graphic novel?

Ric is never gonna end as long as it gives the played out old farts something to do. It’s gonna last longer then Grayson, even though the damn annual this Nightwing team is so proud of couldn’t even crack the top 150. Take the damn hint already and just end the book. No one is going to come back to this crap. The book and character needs a full reset, and even then the character will be lucky to ever see 50k again after this train wreck.
The numbers are in the trash, word of mouth is trash, fan sentiment and moral is in the trash. This has been a embarrassing display of bad work, and the only thing worse about it is that they have let this blatant display of bad work go on and on like they have.

They might drag out the story until Batman 100 in the Summer when DC will probably do some relaunch or something. Maybe waiting for that 5G rebrand. Since it feels like they are dragging out this Owls story even more. They clearly don't want to involve Dick in anything going on at DC and are fine with just containing him to his awful Nightwing book for as long as they need.
It is hilarious that Wally's entire Heroes in Crisis story and his Flash Forward story happened and completed all while this Ric story has been going on. Wally had the story that vilified and then I guess tried to redeem him all inbetween this Ric story. What a joke.

Man, Donna was cold in the last Titans ep. Ultimately right, but still ice cold.

Please, just let it end. I just want to read new Dick Grayson stories. I want to spend my hard-earned money on a proper Nightwing book, DC. I don't know why you hate my money so. :/

I feel like fans use "out of character" very liberally at times. Donna wasn't wrong when she said Dick was martyring himself and the episode pointed out this was a problem.
