Since DC has stopped 'batgirling' books, can I please get Nightwing back.

Probably not for a while, not with Grayson being a hit.
"They can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you. My only son." - Jor-El
What if...even when he does come back to super-heroing, it's not as "Nightwing"... ?
Grayson isn't a "batgirled" title, and it sells really well. So no. I'm not sure whether it makes me happy or not. I was bitter with Grayson at first, but it's a dang good book.
I don't know about "much" better. A little better.

Grayson has been a great book and a good new take on the character, I hope it continues to have success. I also do not know how it is batgirling in anyway.
Never say never in comic books, but you likely won't ever see Dick Grayson as Nightwing again in print except for flashbacks or other callbacks. DC has big plans for him as a mixture of Bond with Batman. You are more likely to see Harper Row eventually become Nightwing then to see Dick back in the suit
Retro315 no more. Anonymity is so 2005.

I love GRAYSON. It's been great to have Dick have a milieu all his own to explore and define that's tangental to the Bat mythos. I liken it to his Demon's Head and League of Shadows and great set up for future Batfamily members to have conflicts with eventually.
The more concepts we can have in Batverse for all the Bat characters to operate in the better. He can keep the jumpsuit for a bit longer. I'm not quite ready for him back in the tights when there's more to explore with Helena, Kathy Kane, Spyral, Agent 1 and The School of Night.
I'm sorry, but the New 52 Nightwing was quite poor. Snyder's lackies just don't seem to be able to carry a book on their own. Grayson has been fantastic, regardless of numbers. Judging by the drop, we can assume they can squeeze at least another year out of it, maybe more, before reverting to some semblance of a familiar status quo. If the Grayson team sticks around, I'm there, regardless of the title of the book. If not, I'm out.
Hopefully DC doesn't blow this, like they did with Lemire's Green Arrow. Otherwise, we'll see more talent leaving to sign exclusive Marvel contracts.
