I like this. Much better then a deal with the devil. Maybe Dick will do a solid for Clark and put that genie back in the bottle too!

Johns and Van Sciver Nightwing Rebirth maybe?

A huge regression, you mean.

If they have him fill the same role as Nightwing who cares. Nightwing is an infinitely cooler/more marketable identity than Agent 13. The issue is if they take him off the spy/global aspect and put him back on the street as a character whose series has to revolve around Batman crossovers.

(Edit: Or Agent 37. The identity is so unmemorable apparently I can't even remember the number lol)

With this, Titans Hunt, and Robin Wars DC comics really is trying to set up Dick Grayson's return to being Nightwing, which isn't a terrible thing since even as a spy he was still swinging around and having a lot of fun as he usually would. As long they don't completely do away with his connections to the spy world, meaning I'd like to see some of his supporting cast from Grayson show up from time to time.

This. Nightwing is a big historical beloved persona. And way more marketable. Dick was always gonna go back to Nightwing, no one should have doubted that.

(When there's a Nightwing movie someday, you'll definitely know how right the switch back was)

Whatever. Going back to Nightwing was inevitable, but don't just have him pull out his previous Nightwing suit from the trunk of his car and put it on. Give us an honest to goodness return of Nightwing deal. Im talking new trendy suit (thats blue!), new stakes, new mission, that whole deal. For the love of god incorporate Grayson into Nightwing to give us a new and revitalized Nightwing. Basically don't do what they're doing in Titan Hunt.

And from Worlds Greatest Spy back to being Batman's Boot Boy. Great character "evolution" DC.

**ayanestar** · 02-17-2016, 02:25 PM

Why can't DC let Dick alone, he was doing so great with a new creative team and all. I bet whatever comes next will be absolutely mediocre like it has been with Nightwing and Teen Titans in the last idk 20 years? I can't even remember when it started. I'm tired of this.

QFT. That would make a return to the Nightwing persona worthwhile. Otherwise it's just a regression for the character and I'm not interested in seeing that. Do something new with it is all I'm wanting out of it otherwise it seems a pointless and uninteresting direction to take to me as well as a big waste of all the character growth he's had recently.

Dick Grayson as Nightwing is one of my favorite characters in all comics and I am totally excited about getting him back in his superhero identity.

I hope if it's true they bring him back in the black and blue costume. Black and red are Batwoman's colors.

**Aahz** · 02-17-2016, 02:47 PM

The spy thing never felt really natural for Dick, allready Grayson #4 made quite clear that Nightwing is what he wants to be and not Agent 37.

**BatGlamorous** · 02-17-2016, 02:50 PM

Finding a happy medium where Nightwing is a Spyral sanctioned superhero could be a cool idea. I could even see him leading a Nightwing & The Outsiders type team book.

Having him regress back into a vanilla role in Gotham would be the worst DC could possibly do after how acclaimed Grayson has been.

**DGraysonWorldsGreatestSpy** · 02-17-2016, 03:13 PM

There are really 2 rules they need to follow.
1) No to Red and yes to Blue.
2) Don't place him in a redundant role where he is Bludhaven Protection and Gotham support, Dickbats is a good example of how he can operate in Gotham and he can do it wit Bruce around and Grayson is a good example of international ops.
