There is a Nightwing variant for Batman #99. And it looks so good and everything right about this world. I love it.

The thing with Deathstorke isn't he like a hitman for hire? That's the thing what would keep him in Dick's world and not just any other character?
Looking good. I hope they stop with all the losing memories stuff.
Okay, who are Nightwing's popular villains?
It used to be Blockbuster, but these days it tends to be William Cobb and The Court, but Zucco is still the most consistent because of the parent's murder thing.
That's the thing that makes Deathstroke works with any character. Want Deathstroke just add victim.
I mean he could have more than one. Blockbuster can still work if you can write him right.
Raptor was the best true Nightwing villain. A villian created for him and from him. Challenging the character about meta issues, while at same time being relevant to modern day. I really hope to see Raptor again in a big way, but at the same time from better creators as to not water him down with lazy and generic characterizations like we just saw with Cobb.

For all the main Court stories Dick is on the peripheral. Their Bat villains that the current Bat office just overuse on Nightwing. As for Cobb that last arc only the second time Dick has run into him. And to do that they completely changed him and how the Court operate.

Eh, not like the Court has a lot of consistency to it anyway.
I'd say Blockbuster is still the Big Bad #1, but I'm willing to entertain the notion of it being Cobb.

We could easily rewrite Cobb. Most things can work with enough imagination. So going with what we have. Dick works or at least own Haley Circus. He does live in Bludhaven with him continually traveling with Haley Circus seasonal. He have to recuse Talons and talons in training. So with this set up how does Blockbuster play a part?
They did rewrite Cobb. Problem is Cobb is an exploited and mutated foot soldier, in which lies the tragedy of him, with personal motivations rooted in Gotham. Trying to turn Cobb into a archenemies, that follows Dick in Bludhaven, completely misses the point of the character and what he represents.
