NightWing End of a legend

Every Wednesday DC comics releases a new comic book issue of a series. Today NightWing #30 was released wedsnesday marking the end of the hero's run as th masked vigilante known as NightWing . Now for thoses who do not keep up or have time lets chat about who Nightwing is and the events that have led to this last issue. I mentioned before that in 2011 Dc decided to revamped their characters origins an new adventures as well as new looks. This little marketing stint was called the New 52 Dick Grayson better known as nightwing had some pretty dark adventures away from the Batman Family. I know your wondering " Who the hell is Nightwing?" Before Nightwing there was Robin the boy wonder Batman's first sidekick. Robin first appeared in Detective Comics #38 in April 1940 then as Nightwing in Tales of the Teen Titans #44 in July 1984. Richard John "Dick" Grayson was the youngest for the acrobatic family the "flying Graysons", Dick witnessed a mafia boss murder his parents to exort money from the circus they worked with. Bruce Wayne took him in as his legal ward. Thus the Dynamic Duo was born Batman and Robin became an unstoppable force during Dicks teen years. Once he got older Dick spent more time as leader of the Teen Titans. He later became leader of the Outsiders as well following the events of the Storyline " Batman: Knightfall", Grayson takes the mantle of Batman while Bruce was recovering from a broken back and spirit. Bruce considers Dick as his apparent heir to the c ape and cowl,Grayson had temporarily replaced bruce as batman in Robin # 0 in october 1994 throughout the Batman : Prodigal storyline. Then from 1996 until 2009 he becomes protector of Bludhaven, Gothams crime ridden neighboring city. After the complete destruction of Bludhaven, caused by Deathstroke Nightwing relocates to New York. The events of "Batman R.I.P." and Final Crisis , Dick is forced to move operations to protect the city following Bruce's apparent death. Despite Bruces will not to take the mantle of the Dark Knight the chaos tearing Gotham's soul forces Dick to take his mentor's identity as batman even making Bruce and talia al ghul's Son Damian Wayne his robin in honor of his fathers legacy. Bruce does eventually return from the dead Grayson goes back to being Nightwing after acting as batman along side his mentor with Batman INC. It is the Events of "Forever Evil" that had caused Dick to retire his superohero identity but it is also a order by batman to go off grid. Fear not my friends DicNightwing may be gone but Dick Grayson will be returning in a new series titled Grayson. The new series will have Dick working for an organization and he will be armed with gun going against one of the Dark Knight 's rules no guns ever. But will Grayson become a government assassin or will stay as an undercover agent for batman with different rules? In closing I say farewell to Nightwing but look forward to following agent Grayson.
