        I'd say it be pretty cliche and kind of boring without some twist to the formula. Taylor set up a potential conflict then didn't go through with it. It's weird. It's not the worst thing ever but it is missed opportunity even if it was for a plot that's been done a million times.

        that's the supposed narrative but isn't what actually happens in his stories. Most of nightwing is dick being hilariously incompetent, shortsighted, and eating shit way harder than Bruce usually does. Being more socially adjusted is pretty much his only real advantage

        There are pages in this thread that says otherwise, but let say you're right. Taylor's run perfectly encapsulate that mindset. It's not the best you could have because it could be funny or smart, but it's probably the best you can hope for, and Nightwing is not a subtainable model outside of his niche bubble.

        I wouldn't say better but Dick is the refined and more balanced version of Bruce. Better in some situations but Bruce would outclass him at other times. Bruce is still an unstoppable monster and keikaku master but Dick is top tier in everything without any glaring issues that Bruce has. I know JLU's Epilogue gets shit for its twist but what Waller says to Terry reminds me of Dick.

    I think what pisses me off the most about Taylor's run is that it has all these moments that should be cool but just feel unearned. DC is finally treating Dick as an important solo hero and not just another secondary Bat book only for Taylor to turn him into the most boring mary sue ever.

        Story is too smooth, meaning no momentum, no actual challenges and nothing engaging is happening. The characters have all the same personnality, including the dog. It's as engaging as reading the back of a cereal box. The only way to care about this is being a Nightwing addict.

            Like what? Everybody solves Dick's problems if Dick doesn't get to it first, Taylor seems to hate relationship drama (which is kinda refreshing, I'll give him that) but as a result his Dickbabs is very sterile, and Heartless is the only villain treated with any gravitas (and even then he barely shows up), and every social problem Dick wants to fix is fixed no problem with his money because Taylor says so.

              And there also is no momentum because the whole book is horrendously decompressed. There are so many one off issues that have nothing to do with the plot than actual meaty issues that carry the plot forward.

              There's almost 30 issues and at least half of it is fluffy nonsense that could've been tossed in the garbage and it would still be pretty decompressed.

Grayson had Babs, Tarantula, and Ravager. Morrison had Damian. Snyder had Oracle and Tim. Seeley had Helena, Tiger, Raptor, and Damian. What's the best run without another superhero helping out? Tomasi? Humphries?

                Which makes complete sense, considering this book is a less traumatic re-do of the Dixon and Grayson Nightwing runs.

                Dick back in Bludhaven
                Babs is Dick's man in the chair.
                The Titans, Tim, and Batman occasionally drop in to make sure Dick is OK
                Instead of helping a street kid called Mutt, Dick adopts a literal mutt.
                Dick's building gets blown up, but nobody dies this time because Dick has friends.
                An assassin hired by Blockbuster tries to shoot Dick, but Dick doesn't get shot this time, because Dick has friends.
                Babs and Dick nearly break up, but they don't this time, because Babs isn't a turboc**t.
                Blockbuster gets murdered, but this time Dick doesn't let it happen.
                Instead of wallowing in self-pity, Dick builds a frathouse to share with his friends.

                All we need is Deathstroke to show up and blackmail Dick into fricking Ravager and they'll have hit all the major bases.

      His solo comics are largely just okay, you read them more for his characterization then anything but here are some recs

      Post Crisis-

      Dixon Run:
      This is the run that established Blüdhaven which is the only somewhat constant status quo for Dick. The run starts out pretty good but the pacing towards the middle gets awful as Dixon just drags out the story way longer then it needed to be. However it's a very easy read so you could breeze through it quickly.

      Nightwing: Renegade
      Devin Grayson's run is really shit but this is the one storyline I think is some what good.

      Tomasi Run:
      This is the last run in Nightwing's original solo.

      Batman and Robin by Morrison
      Not a nightwing solo but Dick's stint as Batman has some of his best characterization as well serving as a great ending to his post crisis history

      Post New 52-

      Nightwing: Rebirth Vol 1-Vol 3
      This is the only good parts of the Seely run before it drops off in quality

      Nightwing: Rebirth Vol 6
      This is hands down the best Nightwing solo story arc. You can ignore everything else and just read this if you want a good Nightwing story.

        Snyder's Detective Comics (collected as Batman: The Black Mirror) is great, and arguably the best modern story featuring Dick Grayson.

        Nightwing's entire existence is that he doesn't want to be Batman 2. Hell, my favorite episode is when Robin has a whole training montage, and everyone is impressed by his handmade stuff. Imagine a comic where Nightwing goes around the world and trains with geniuses like Ray Palmer (utility belt), Ted Kord (Vehicle), Toyman (Creative Engineering), William Magnus (Nanotech), Bobo(Problem-solving), etc. Nightwing is a genius and used to assist Batman himself in making his tools.
