That’s why I think battle for the cowl is good
Idea for an animated movie. He doesn’t become Batman untill the end. So he is Nightwing though out 80% of it in Gotham surrounded by A list villains. I can see Warner be sold on the idea becuase it will sell. It will also give Dick the big solo mainstream moment he needs
I think that Seeley's Nightwing run really collapsed due to being forced to bring back Bludhaven. In the end he practically destroyed everything that he created as well. So I hope that Robins win and this will redeem him, at least in my eyes.
I liked what Seeley was initially doing with Bludhaven with Shawn, Svoboda, a more street-level story channeled through Seeley's writing style...etc.
But that's just me.
Shawn was cool and all, but i wouldn't say she is memorable.
What was memorable was the melt down some people had when she thought she was pregnant. LOL Funny days.
Better than Batman, Nightwing must die and Raptor's Revenge was Seeley best work on Nightwing.
If i had to rank this book by arcs before the Ric stuff it would be like this:
1 - Better than Batman
2 - Raptor's Revenge
3 - Nightwing must die
4 - The Untouchable
5 - Blockbuster
6 - Back to Bludhaven
7 - The Bleeding Edge
The Bleeding Edge didn't even had a proper ending (which was a shame tho) so it get the last spot.
DC: Dick Grayson, Wally West, Donna Troy, Yara Flor, Titans
Some of my favorite Mangas: One Piece, Slam Dunk, Fullmetal Alchemist, HunterXHunter, Vinland Saga, Monster, Berserk, Vagabond.
Current reading: Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Spy X Family, Kaiju Nº8, Blue Lock, Dandadan.
That's how I feel about those arcs too. The Untouchable would be higher for me if it had gotten more consistent art. Do the last two Issues of Percy's run count as part of The Bleeding Edge?
This.
I would love an adapted Nightwing or Grayson arc. There really are enough to choose from. Better than Batman would be my first choice. It ties into his origin without being redundant. Thinking about it, it kind of mirrors how the Nightwing mini led into the first ongoing. Both arcs have ties to his origin and don't need Blüdhaven.
As for the seemingly new animated verse, I hope we get Dark Victory next, where Dick is introduced. Robin: Year One could easily spin out of that. Then one or two Titans, guest appearance in another Batman, in a highly likely Batgirl Year One, and in JL or Superman to connect him to Supes, then Nightwing.
Again we come to the issue of the spy world being undeveloped in DC. They don’t have a SHIELD or SWORD
Spyral must high profile member is Huntress and she left it to be a vigilantee in Gotham as soon as they became irrelevant. DC as a whole has to build some kind of underground division for the spy angle to work.
