On the list of things that lead to him being treated like a batman supporting character 'The actual root of all the characters issues and the thing that holds him back' bludhaven isn't even a factor.
Bludhaven makes zero difference to him being close to the Bat Ip. Nightwing a non-powered costumed hero is always going to share to similarities with Batman.
All the Bat characters are pretty much Batman lite including the metas and the 'anti heroes'
Red Robin doesn't have a city yet it's more batman like than Nightwing has ever been
The city isn't the issue.
Nightwing is.
Agent 37 was the sweet spot but I don't know how marketable in the long term that is.
