If they were trying to that that they wouldn’t have left him with Jurgens. That’s an awful start. He’s not really any better than he was 5 months ago, there’s JL, but now they are also bleeding Ric into Nightwing. Wasting his return and any momentum he might have had from it.
And its not bashing the character, it’s being honest about his current harsh reality and the situation they created. If they think they can just sell Nightwing as this accomplished superhero, with out putting in the work to actually rebuild him out of this hole they dug, they are kidding themselves. The character is a joke right now, he is hard to read. It’s painful to read the crap the keep producing with him. And crap stains.
