A textbook example of a sidekick growing into an independent hero, Nightwing is the solo codename of Richard "Dick" Grayson, the first Robin. After years of training under Batman the Then-a-Teen Boy Wonder decided that, as the image quote says, "A man's got to go his own way". Thanks to the nature of comic book continuity, this was either after a long-overdue fight with Batman or a mutually respectful parting of ways. In any case, Dick decided on the name Nightwing after Superman told him the tale of a Batman & Robin-esque vigilante duo from Krypton, named Nightwing and Flamebird. He made his debut under the new identity in Teen Titans during The Judas Contract story-line (specifically, Tales of the Teen Titans #44, released July, 1984).Eventually he was given his own self titled series. A 4-issue Nightwing mini-series turned up in 1995 and was well-received. An ongoing naturally followed. Lasting for 153 issues, from October, 1996 to April, 2009. Nightwing was a series starring Dick Grayson, the original Robin, graduated to become protector of Gotham's neighboring city of Bludhaven. The series was initially written by Chuck Dixon. Quite well received, it started creating a Rogues Gallery for Dick Grayson and helped distinguish Nightwing's solo methodology from Batman's own. The series was eventually taken over by Devin Grayson.Controversies abounded in the title and it was eventually cancelled as a preparation for Infinite Crisis and relaunched. The city of Bludhaven was destroyed by the Secret Society of Supervillains and Dick Grayson was relocated to New York City. The new series was even more poorly received and eventually canceled. Dick Grayson graduated to become the new Batman in Battle for the Cowl.With the company wide New 52 relaunch in 2011, Dick returned to being Nightwing and had another solo title, and moved to Chicago following Death of the Family. Following Forever Evil (2013), his solo series ended. A new series titled Grayson began in July, which with the character as a Secret Agent of Spyral alongside another famous Faking the Dead character: Helena Bertinelli. DC Rebirth returned him to the Nightwing title.Not to be confused with the 1977 killer bat novel of the same name on which the 1979 flick was based.See his character page for character specific tropes.Dick Grayson has appeared in several media, usually Batman related: | |

Heroic BSoD: After Dick beat the Joker to death (he was immediately resuscitated) he felt he was no longer worthy and spent an issue staring at his worn knuckles and torn costume while Tim and Ted fought Jokerized criminals in Blüdhaven while Tim fanboyed over working with a hero he’d been reading about since he was little making Ted feel old. It was long enough for Dick to get a scruffy start on a Beard of Sorrow. Babs sends Wally to talk with Dick after he unplugs his computer to keep her from talking to him. | |

Darker and Edgier | |

Darker and Edgier: Nightwing's portrayal here shows him as somewhat more violent than before, and his costume is now red and black instead of black and blue, although this does have the benefit of putting all four of the Robins in red. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy: Anyone who works with Batman has this problem, but Dick had it really bad for awhile. Fortunately, he is now recognized as Batman's closest ally and favored son. He's even started to have a sense of fun over Batman's inability to express emotions. | |

Underestimating Badassery: In the beginning, Blockbuster did not want Nightwing killed because he feared that would bring Batman to his city whom he thought was a greater threat. Blockbuster rather quickly realizes and outright acknowledges that Nightwing is equal to his mentor in every way. | |

The Ghost | |
| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: One commonly-mentioned figure during the Chuck Dixon run was Eddie (later Retconned to Freddy) Minh, The Don of Bludhaven's Vietnamese mob. Eventually, it turns out this trope is almost literal: he was actually killed long ago (possibly before Nightwing even moved into town) by his wife, who's been secretly running the mob under his name. | |

The Heart | |
| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_1badfb3a | comment |
The Heart: Dick's status as The Heart of the DC universe comes up on occasion, with Tim calling Dick when Tim is depressed and having suicidal thoughts, Roy and Wally trusting Dick completley and Superman's faith in him. He is still a rather intense fellow and does not get along with everyone at all times, his arguments tend to be infamous among his peers, but his compassion shines through always. | |

Incorruptible Pure Pureness | |
| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_289008dc | comment |
Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Dick is a compassionate idealist to the degree that even Superman admires him. During Infinite Crisis, Earth-Two's Kal-L claims that New Earth is a corruption of his world and that none of its heroes is worth protecting. But when Batman asks if that's true of Dick Grayson, Kal-L says no. Even the person wanting to merge the worlds together has to admit that Dick Grayson is just as wonderful in the "corrupted world". | |

During the infamous "Born Again" Arc Nightwing is so enraged he Curb Stomps all of Blockbuster's hired help when most of them had given him a hard time before. It was even worse in One Year Later when they tried to make Nightwing into DC's Spider-Man (!?). | |

Taking Up the Mantle | |

Taking Up the Mantle: Ol' Dick is in the trope picture for this one. He first took up the Batman mantle temporarily once when Bruce was recovering from the Knightfall arc, and he did it again after Bruce "died" in Final Crisis and fighting Jason Todd for the title in Battle for the Cowl. | |

Female Gaze: Dick is probably the most frequently subjected to this of any character in the DCU. Hell, IGN ranked him at #1 on their list of the sexiest men in comics, and both the list and the comments considered it a no-brainer. Comics Alliance said the same. | |

You Have Failed Me: Black Mask tried to have Reynard killed after he failed to get Mask a hold in Blüdhaven's drug trade as quickly as he wanted but Reynard killed the man sent to take him out and earned another chance. Nightwing's continued interference meant that he failed again. After his hired guns fail to kill Nightwing Blockbuster uses a variation on this theme by having them all take on his new pet assassin, he even tells Stallion he'll give him a bonus if he can decapitate the new guy. In the end the existing criminals, save Lady Vic who gets some good shots in and Mouse and Giz who are not fighters anyway and take a pass, just end up getting in each other's way which makes it easier for Shrike. | |

Big Brother Instinct | |
| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_69681e01 | comment |
Big Brother Instinct: Used to provide the page pic. He is very protective of the other Robins, and of some other young heroes, such as Stephanie Brown/Spoiler/Robin/Batgirl. Even though he and Steph don't particularly hang out much, he was upset deeply by her death and gave Bruce a What the Hell, Hero? rant because of it, and another to Barbara when she allowed her to go out into the field by herself and he was worried about her in a big brother kind of way. He is also on the receiving end of this, for practically the entire DC Universe. If someone hurts Dick, it might be a good idea for villains to take some time off to avoid the wrath of the rest of the heroes. | |

My Greatest Failure | |
| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_6ee10e0 | comment |
My Greatest Failure: Early on, it was Dick's failure during his Robin days to save an innocent from being killed by Two-Face. Later replaced by him "letting" Tarantula kill Blockbuster. He also blames himself partially for both the crippling of Barbara Gordon and the death of Jason Todd since both events happened when he and Bruce were on the outs. It's notable that he took a much more active role in the mentoring of Jason's replacement, Tim Drake and generally keeps a much closer eye on the other members of the Bat-Family since. | |

He even recruited Tim do some searching and was scolded for not spending the holiday with his family even though Tim was noticeably at Brentwood walking the Headmaster's dog without any of his family in sight. Dick did find the little girl, save her and her father from gangbangers and got her dad a job as the new super for his apartment since Clancy had left for medical school. The job had the added benefit of getting them out of the bad neighborhood they’d been living in. | |

| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_8485d41a | comment |
Interspecies Romance: Whilst, as noted, he has had a lot of would-be, wannabe and actual girlfriends, one of his biggest "classic" love interests, other than Barbara Gordon, is the alien super-heroine Koriandr of Tamaran, aka Starfire, who he met as part of the Teen Titans. She was the first of his girlfriends that he was quite blatantly implied to have had sex with, they've been engaged at least once, and they were even almost married once — as in, the only reason they aren't husband and wife is because fellow Titan Raven attacked the ceremony and killed the minister before he could complete it. Though they are drifted apart in modern continuity, both still remember and occasionally flirt with each other over their former connection. | |

Power Girl and Black Canary seem to prefer him even over Batman, and the latter comments that he could "raise a pulse in a department store mannequin". And that doesn't include the seemingly endless parade of civilians who are attracted to him. Amusingly illustrated by this artwork. Subverted by his police partner. She invites Dick over to her house after a few days of knowing him. She's married with two kids. She just wanted him to meet her family. | |

Urban Legend Love Life: The perception of Dick Really Getting Around is mostly blown out of proportion to the actual number of women he's been involved with. Prior to the reboot, he'd probably slept with a grand total of four women. | |

Evil Costume Switch: Not evil actually, but in the New 52, his black and blue changed to black and red, reflecting his more anti-heroic nature. Which, ironically enough, looks kind of like the Robin costume from Batman & Robin, albeit without the cape. | |

Big Brother Mentor: Towards Tim, who he was instumental in training and who was Robin during Dick's first tenure as Batman. Amusingly he even taught Tim how to do his laundry. Eventually the two became actual brothers when Bruce adopted Tim. He has acted as a brotherly mentor figure to many generations of Titans. It's especially pronounced towards Damian, as he was Dick's Robin during his tenure as Batman. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Used in Issue #150. One of Two-Face's mooks was standing right behind a guy Two-Face wanted to shoot. Two-Face points out that this isn't a good place to be, and the guy needs it explained to him: "I can't afford to lose any red shirts." When the mook doesn't get the reference, Two-Face has had enough, declares him too dumb to live, and blows him away. | |

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male | |
| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_c289826f | comment |
Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: In Devin Grayson's run, who then went on to claim that it wasn't rape, just "nonconsensual" sex. Right. After the character Tarantula forced herself on him in the middle of the street, afterward it was treated as though he was simply uncomfortable dating a criminal than anything and the whole "sexual assault" thing was glossed over completely. A few years earlier Nightwing slept with an obscure Titans character by the name of Mirage, who had disguised herself as Starfire. When she revealed the ruse not long after, the only real reaction it got was a shocked look, without a whole lot of follow-up, in fact it's mostly been played for laughs since. Rape is Irrelevant When It's Female On Male? | |

Magnetic Hero: To the point where some believe his superpower is charisma. When he showed up to a fight with multiple generations of Teen Titans, Superboy noted how everyone instantly followed his lead. He also once convinced every hero on Earth, without question, to jump into a parallel dimension (saving them all). Batman even said it's one of the reasons he's proudest of Dick -— unlike Bats himself, he can gain and keep allies. So essentially, he's "Batman with social skills." A fact that was commented on by everyone from Jim Gordon to the Joker when he took over as Batman. | |

Hijacked by Ganon: The opening arc, where Nightwing is being hunted by Saiko and inherits Haly's Circus before finding a mysterious ledger with his name in it, was revealed to part of the Night of the Owls storyline that had been building in Detective Comics as it turned out Haly's Circus had routinely given a child to the Court of Owls to become a Talon, and Dick was being groomed to be next in line before his parents died. The overarching plot of Dick setting out to rejuvenate the Amusement Mile in Gotham with Haly's Circus as the centrepiece, was brought to an end thanks to Death of the Family (Which saw Joker attack the circus to get at Nightwing in part of his larger plan to destroy Batman) and the subsequent and unrelated death of Robin. | |

It's even lampshaded in the third issue of his 2011 series when Barbara turns up after he's hooked up with Raya. And you can bet the fandom never forgets who his best friend is... | |

Indy Ploy: According to writer Fabian Nicieza, while Dick is smart (like most Bat-family members), what he excels at is "reflexive thinking", which is essentially this. While Batman is Crazy-Prepared, Jason is a Manipulative Bastard, Barbara is an Analyst, and Tim is all of the above, Dick excels at thinking on the fly. | |

The Face: He will inevitably become this in any group he joins because he's that charismatic. He's the one you want making your case during Gondor Calls for Aid or Enemy Mine. | |

Morality Pet | |
| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_e3b0cd87 | comment |
Morality Pet: Half of the DCU sees him as this. During a team-up, Catwoman (a villain/anti-hero) remarked that because he's been in the superhero biz since he was a child, most of the community sees him as a little bro/surrogate son. If you ever do anything to hurt Nightwing, you will call down the wrath of the entire DC Universe. Hell, Batman's first instinct was to GRAB A GUN when he heard a villain had killed Nightwing.note See the page pic for Anti-Hero? Yeah, that's what happens when you mess with Nightwing. See The Power of Friendship below, there are even some villains will come after you if you hurt him, granted some of it is because of The Only One Allowed to Defeat You, but still. | |

Dramatic Gun Cock: Once faced a group of carjackers, one of whom decided to attempt to intimidate him with this. Being Nightwing, he wasted no time in asking him if he learned that on TV before pointing out that he just ejected a perfectly good round for no reason and then finished by continuing to cock the gun until all the ammunition had been ejected. | |

| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_eb28ab57 | comment |
Bound and Gagged: Sylph◊ pretty much had this as a superpower, and thus her "fights" mostly consisted of tying Dick up, often in suggestive poses, because even though the hero keeps getting in her way she has no desire to kill him. | |

Cartwright Curse | |
| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_edc22fe8 | comment |
Cartwright Curse: Dick's love interests haven't been very lucky. Two women that Dick has slept with have died (one within the same issue she was introduced). Another love interest was the target of an attempted assassination. And then there's Barbara Gordon, who has been going through a Trauma Conga Line in her own book. | |

Have a Gay Old Time | |
| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_fa6bfde9 | comment |
Have a Gay Old Time: When he was introduced in the 40s, "Dick" was a common and accepted shortening of the name "Richard". Nowadays, however, it has fallen out of style in favor of shortenings like "Rick" or "Richie", not helped by the fact that "dick" is a very common slang term for "penis". Despite this, Dick Grayson's name is too iconic to change at this point, and when they did attempt to change it to "Ric", it resulted in a serious Audience-Alienating Era for the character, though largely because of how they went about it. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_faece9aa | comment |
The Power of Friendship: Nightwing's greatest weapon. Sure, natural acrobatics and Batman-trained skills in combat and sleuthing are nothing to sneeze at, but no other hero in the DC Universe boasts the sheer number of allies Nightwing has. Hell, the guy has had his villains team up with him against bigger or badder foes. Why? Basically because he asked nicely. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: He's one of the sweetest guys in the DC Universe, but if you manage to get him really angry, you will regret it. During the infamous "Born Again" Arc Nightwing is so enraged he Curb Stomps all of Blockbuster's hired help when most of them had given him a hard time before. It was even worse in One Year Later when they tried to make Nightwing into DC's Spider-Man (!?). | |

Real-Life Super Powers | |
| Nightwing (Comic Book) / int_fed2c32a | comment |
Real Life Superpowers: Pretty much to the level of his mentor. Of all the traits on this list (Beauty, Intelligence, Skill, Charisma, Fame, Wealth, Physicality, Weaponry, and Luck) Dick has 9 out of 9. Where he differs from his mentor is that not many people believe Dick Grayson has physical powers (like the superstitious and cowardly believe about Batman)—however, Dick is so charismatic and dashing that people think he has Glamour powers. And that's not even getting to the fact that he's the greatest acrobat in the entire DC Universe. | |
