I really dislike Bludhaven. I hope when 5G hits Dick goes back to Spyral. I just find Bludhaven to be a more bland and less interesting Gotham

[QUOTE=Godlike13;4823732]Exactly. It absolutely doesn’t work. I guess it could be a typo and its referring to Annual 3, but in that case why would they even be telling us this takes place before something that doesn’t come out for another 3 months give or take.[/QUOTE]
I just love it when DC tries to establish some continuity between titles with editor's notes, but when you think about it for a few seconds it makes even less sense.
Before I saw the note I simply assumed this took place when Ric just started to regain his memories, but wasn't fully back to being Dick yet. Or whatever happened in the last few Nightwing issues.
[QUOTE=Ansa;4823722]Does that even work? Because everything in Nightwing Annual 2 takes place before Nightwing #50 and Alfred visits Dick in Nightwing #51...which would be impossible if he was dead.[/QUOTE]Barbara suiting up at any point should prove this one way or the other. If it's before Dick got shot, it would also be while she's still wearing the Burnside costume, as she changed her costume at around the same time Dick was shot. So if she has her current one, it's set after the next few Nightwing issues, and not before the Ric era started.
It's not possible for it to be between his getting shot and last month's Nightwing issue. And even now, he has his memories back, but not his emotional attachments, since he can't tell them from his fake memories.
But even the most dumb ideas have worked out great for certain villains or other ideas in Batman. So Bludhaven can work. I did do a thread about can Bludhaven work. Or due to his past background he could fight crime place to place. The issue is at times if they don’t use his home he mostly is used more in Batfam. He needs his own place and his own rogue gallery. Or maybe how much crime does happen in Metropolis?

He and his friends should have died last arc

It only worked for me twice, once in Dixon's run and again during Rebirth for a short time when it was envisioned as kind of Atlantic City.
Honestly? Make it Vegas-esque. That kind of city fits Dick like a glove. Crime and corruption but all about lights, music and putting on a big show. I think if they play that up and make it look like where all the Gothamites go to spend their money, it could work. Alas, I think the concept's been burned for most.

Wonderful to see a look closer to the iconic suit again, no silly blue stripes on his calves.
[QUOTE=Badou;4827561]Is that one cop Nightwing getting his own solo title? :p[/QUOTE]Which one - the four fake Nightwings include three cops (the ones Ric calls Nightwings Prime, Gold, and Blue) and a firefighter (Nightwing Red).
Anyway, I won't be surprised if Joker whacks them.
The one that looks like his clone obviously.
You mean Sap then.

Agreed. I can see Dick either doing one of the acrobat shows that are in Vegas at times. Or a poker plater.

Didn’t they already do a casino type arc with blockbuster
They have done a few things with the casino parts. Maybe Dick could also be a security guard or a bouncer. That way some of the higher criminals use him. He gets to be in on many talks.
I dunno. In any even vaguely realistic scenario, any prospective employer would easily discover Dick is a rather famous person, with a very privileged upbringing. Dick would be foolish to call any more attention to himself by being an amateur commando.
No one should be hiring this guy as “muscle.”
I would prefer to see Dick get control of his narrative...and yes, acknowledge his connection to Wayne, but set out on a public mission of his own...heading the Martha Wayne Foundation, or something... and traveling around the world to help people, somewhat in the public eye, but answerable to no one.
I would also love to see a Wally and Dick book.
