Yikes. Now I'm stuck between being really curious and just... glad I'm not in the know as of now lol.
Another thing, about the Last Knight and YotV stuff: I'm thinking there's a big chance Snyder's plans involve an Owl storyline for Dick in YotV just to lean into what he's doing in the Last Knight, just like how his BWL stuff is tying heavily into not just JL-related stuff, but potentially the Last Knight as well. Could be DC didn't want him going back to being Nightwing yet but knew there had to be a change and it's something Snyder suggested. Or maybe he noticed how terrible the current Nightwing storyline was received and suggested this on his own. Snyder might fall into the camp that views Nightwing as a subservient IP to Batman based on his output, but he definitely does value the character and his relationship with Bruce at least.
I really think he inspired it. Either indirectly with Last Knight, or directly working with others for YotV. No way it’s coincidence though. Which makes me feel a little better about the upcoming storyline, cause maybe it not just a tease to further support Ric, but it also has me torn. Cause on one hand it’s something, and anything would be better than the nothingness that is Ric. While also in itself Dick becoming a Talon is not a bad idea, even if it has already come up a bit here and there. On the other though it just frustrates me to see them wasting it with a tapped out creator like Jurgens and probably another grab bag a random filler artists. Makes his offer issue just piss me off even more now.

So Diana assumed Dick fell in battle after Bruce died? Her reaction was of someone who knew he died, similar to her reaction of Bruce asking if Clark is still alive.
Guess it is possible that the Court of the Owls revived him.
These two issues have been so much fun though, can't wait for #3.

When I was 14, I created a NIGHTMASTER pitch for @DCComics
with Tom Lyle. Now, twenty years later, Tom and I are FINALLY getting to collaborate thanks to @katiekubert
on someone a BIT more high profile (though I still love Jim Rook). What those #comics shelves for more!
Steve Orlando possibly doing something with Nightwing down the line?
Hmm...

Sounds like it is something set outside of the main continuity.
I've been kinda underwhelmed by everything Orlando has done since Midnighter. Especially his Bat stuff.
And good god, we always say Dick is supposed be a pretty boy but given the mediocre artists his book usually draws, he's equally likely to end up looking like a bulldog caught in the rain.
It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

Orlando is really hit or miss with me, but if he's writing proper Nightwing I'll give it a shot. Whether its in continuity or not, I'll just be happy to see Nightwing back in proper form again.

So weird seeing Jorah as Batman. Feels like a super old Bruce. But this season looks better than the first from this limited view.
