Slightly related, but I'm actually interested in Dick's involvement in the Shadows of the Bat and just other Gotham books. If DC is going to force the Batfamily as a concept and specifically force Nightwing into it, I'm happy to see the Batbooks finally putting in some work to actually (re)build some relationships and dynamics. In the coming months, we're going to see Dick interacting with Kate, Helena, Steph, and Cass to varying degrees. That matters a lot more to me than pushing the same old dynamics and relationships we see so often these days, like Dick with Babs, Tim, and Jason.
I've also made my peace with Nightwing not being allowed to do big things. It's a fine book that other people seem to like, and I get good art of it usually so it's cool. When so much other stuff at DC is trying new things with their characters, there's no real point in getting upset about the Nightwing book imo.
