I want saying it's bludhaven that makes nightwing into batman lite (it doesn't help). I ment was that bludhavens problems are the same as nightwing's to close and similar to what its spinning off of.
Yes nightwing and batman will have similarities and they should, batman WAS (not is) his mentor. But being similar and too similar.
Just have him be agent 37 as nightwing. Meaning agent 37 style missions and tone but as nightwing.
