I have always loved the idea of Nightwing headline a teamup book, with a different co star each month. This is a way to focus on Dicks versatility, as well as his vast personal connections across the universe.

"Harley Quinn Has a New Lover at DC – One That No One Will Be Able To Guess"
Yeah I'll take a guess.
It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.
-Dick Grayson (Batman Inc.)
If it is Dick, honestly... I wouldn't mind.
... And the only way Dick would look twice in mass murderer Harley Quinn's direction is if he say, got shot in the head and messed up his memories... and well, luckily that's happened and when Dick gets fixed he's left with conflicting feelings for Harley, the woman he knew and the woman she now is.
I'd read it.
Currently reading:
- Gangsta.
- Gangsta. Cursed
- Tokyo Ghoul:re
Nightwing and Harley are Humphries two most recent characters. And didn't he write them together in that future/elseworlds Harley? I think I remember that being discussed here.
But obviously as a Nightwing fan, I'm likely to read into situations in a way where I would insert the character there.

Yeah, I don't think there's any clear evidence it's Dick.
I'm kind of surprised they're giving her a new love interest when they seem to be trying to so hard to push Harley and Ivy as an OTP.
I could support Dick/Harley as flirtatious frenemies. A relationship would require a full face turn for Harley, which isn't something DC seems likely to do.
I like old-school Dick, who was way less flirtatious, and all about committed relationships. Indeed, I like it as contrast to Batman - Dick doesn't do the flirting with the villain or falling for villain thing (or the casual thing, back then). But that was long ago and things have changed.
I pretty much always hate the hero/villain thing. BatCat just got grandfathered in because I shipped it young. And because I like the non-killing Catwoman who went straight before they got involved (also no longer in continuity).
I also have very big aversion to heroes interacting in any sort of friendly way will murderous villains who kill innocents. Hate it. Not even the platonic stuff is okay there. There should be nothing at all friendly between a hero and someone like that.
I don't think it would be Dick. The character isn't really in the right place for it and they don't really have him date outside his bubble unless it is some forgettable original character.
Plus the Harley Quinn solo book is more of a gag/comedy book, so it would be someone to set up a funny situation. It doesn't really do serious stories. So a random character like Jimmy Olsen, Darkseid, or Harvey Bullock could be it.
