When was nightwing created




















Tim also mentioned several times that he sees Dick as his brother and friend. They felt that way even before Bruce adopted them both. When Dick briefly served as Batman during the Prodigal arc the two became even closer.

Furthermore Dick is very protective over Tim. After the Joker pretended to kill Tim, Nightwing went out to revenge him. When he finally captured Joker, he beat him to death with his bare hands and didn't stop until he saw Tim and realised that was still alive. Dick wasn't as close to Jason as to Tim or Damian, though he always cared about Jason. Dick tried his best to get close to Jason when he was younger, for example he went camping with him. But for most of the time when Jason was Robin, Dick and Bruce had ill feelings toward each other which prevented Jason to enjoy the same brotherly relationship Tim had with Dick when he became Robin, nonetheless Dick accepted Jason as Robin.

Dick missed Jason's funeral because he was off-world and Bruce never contacted him. Dick finds out in The New Titans that Jason died and breaks down in front of his team members. He also accuses Bruce of letting Jason out before he was ready. Thanks for coming for me, brother. I just wanted to believe we could be family again.

Dick and Damian share a very close bond with each other as they are brothers and former partners. According to Damian, Dick was his favorite partner. Dick usually acts like a big brother towards Damian and teases him every time he can for example for his "crush" on Supergirl. Dick is one of the few who showed patience with Damian from the very beginning. Furthermore it was Dick who taught Damian to be a hero when Dick was forced to take over the Batman costume because Bruce "died" and Gotham needed a hero.

Dick was the the only one who took the time and patience to mentor him. Dick gave Damian the Robin title even though everyone else was against his decision and though he was the wrong choice. Dick tried his best to help Damian to overcome years of brainwashing and trauma.

He wanted to give Damian the chance to act more like a kid and to enjoy his childhood. Damian in return proved himself as Robin and showed that he was capable and willing to fight for the good which was for large part because of the influences of Dick. It was Dick who turned Damian into a hero and it was Dick who improved his social skills and turned Damian into a good partner for Batman. When Bruce came back from the "death", Damian wasn't exactly happy about it because he didn't wanted to lose Dick as his partner, as he states:.

Dick and Damian also shared a close bond in the New 52 till Damian's death which hit him hard. He visits his grave and expresses his love for him for the last time and leaves the video game he ordered to play with Damian there as a farewell gift.

According to Kyle Higgins Damian was something of a light at the end of the tunnel for Dick.

Dick is at peak human levels in strength, endurance and stamina but his most valuable asset is his incredible speed and agility, being extremely quick and versatile. Dick is a skilled acrobat from his childhood in the circus and is considered the best human acrobat in the DCU, only rivaled by Deadman.

Only three people in the world can do a quadruple flip, being one of those three. He is also said to be faster than Batman and much more fluid.

In his childhood Dick regularly played with his childhood friend Raymond a game called parkour train racing for fun.

During the game Dick demonstrated not just impressive agility but also speed as they race around on top of speeding trains. In addition, Dick moved fast enough to save a man from being ran over by a moving train. During his time as Robin, when he was still a rookie, he jumped out of a helicopter with his hands tied behind his back and escaped from his binds in mid air using his acrobatic skill and speed.

He then was fast enough to get back in the helicopter to kick Tusk out of it. Nightwing can easily keep up with and even catch his former mentor. Furthermore Nightwing can easily dodge bullets, knifes, blades and such and is even fast enough to deflects them back in mid air. He is also fast enough to catch up with a train, a speeding getaway car and with the flying assassin Scarab despite him being too high up and according to Red Robin making it impossible for him to chase down but not for Dick - he even manages to plant a tracer on him.

Dick's agility has allowed him to hold his own against people out of his league, like, Blockbuster. Dick even comments on how fast Blockbuster was, but he still manages to evade punches from Blockbuster and maneuvers around his body. This allows Dick to put some hits on Blockbuster. He even manages to create a small crater by smashing Blockbuster's head into the ground, by the use of his speed.

Barbara stated that Dick was able to solve 4 cases from "America's Most Wanted" in one morning. He has been able to solve the Riddler's riddles before Batman many times, even as Robin.

Dick was also able to find and deduce the hidden clues in the Wayne Manor left behind by Bruce as a message that he's trapped in time. Furthermore he once hacked alien technology using Tamaranien language. He also once turned an alarm clock into a transmitter so he could secretly communicate with Batman while working as an agent for Spyral.

Thanks to his ability to read people he also understood quickly how to use one of Spyral's abilities called "Hypnos" which allows the user to manipulate people and their memories which according to Helena Bertinelli usually takes years to master.

Scarecrow said that Dick's willpower is second only to Batman. He's resisted Scarecrow's fear toxin and at times resist mind control for example he brook free from Brother Blood 's mind control and was able to resist Groom 's mind control.

He is a master of disguise, stealth, and is a master marksmen. According to Bruce in the New 52, he has a gift for reading motion and it was shown that he is capable of reading gesture and body language and uses it in connection with his analytical skills to find out if someone is lying.

He also built his own "Night Car" and a high tech "Wing Glider" which is fast enough to keep up with the Batmobile and programmed it with a remote GPS device. His Nightwing costume has an excellent protection against damage, made of Nomex fire-proof, triple-weaved material that has been lined with kevlar and is also insulated against electricity.

His suit is made for his fighting style of "move more get hit less" and has less armor to facilitate this, though he can add armor when facing fast and strong foes. The suit is light sensitive, darkening when there is more light in the area.

It has a computer link and analysis. The lens can zoom and magnify his vision. It also has electromagnetic vision, which includes thermal, sonar, and x-ray vision. He also wears ear dampeners in defense against sonic attacks. Each one of his gauntlets and boots contain eight compartments in which he can store items.

The suit has gone through many upgrades, and now is bullet-resistant, able to take less damage from bullets.

It is also fireproof and shock-resistance to some extent. Richard also has a specialized muscle car called the "Nightbird" which is built with many parts like those on the Batmobile, such as bulletproof armor and wireless network connections. Nightwing's parents also left him a trust fund which was turned into a small fortune by Lucius Fox. Dick Grayson's costume is made of a special material that Batman created. In his beginning days as Batman, he took so much protection off of his suit, so that he could be more agile like his previous Nightwing persona.

One such modification was lightening of the cape which he felt was too heavy to move effectively. However, this eventually came back to him when he got drugged by Two-face.

After the confrontation against Two-face, Dick added more of the protection material for the suit. They are made with kevlar, so that bullets, knives, and other weapons don't cut his hands.

Also on his Boots, he has them made with kevlar too. Even as Batman, Dick still carries a pair of Escrima Sticks to boost his chances at winning against a superhuman or meta villain.

When Catwoman Beyond falls in the lines between Hush and Bruce, she ends up being tricked by the person she was hired by. Dick Grayson once worked with Bruce before he retired , Dick was shot-up by the Joker, and Bruce called the ambulance and he was rushed to the hospital.

After Alfred was saved whom the Joker kidnapped , he went to the hospital to perform his surgical tactics. Dick Grayson had a bullet lodged into his spine and eventually gave up the mantle of Nightwing.

In the events of issue four, Dick Grayson turns out to be the "new" Hush, whom was trying to kill all of the enemies of Terry McGinnis and eventually kill Bruce Wayne. It seems that Joker had kidnapped Alfred after learning things from his hostage Tim Drake. Joker had learned who Batman was and who is in his social circle. Joker shoots at Grayson causing him to lose one eye and suffer severe injuries.

Grayson felt let down by Bruce because Bruce did not make the effort in comforting him when Dick needed him most but he bore no serious grudge since he understood Bruce's morbid character.

After crossing paths with various teen metahumans, Grayson takes them under his wing , thus uniting a new roster of Titans, a team he founded during his tenure with Batman.

Tim Burton reportedly had plans to involve Robin in the story but his character was soon taken out of the script. A scene dropped from the script would've featured the Joker accidentally killing the Flying Graysons by hitting their acrobatic pole during a care chase, which would have led to young Dick Grayson swearing vengeance.

Marlon Wayans was cast as Robin, however due to the excessive amount of characters involved, Dick Grayson was once again dropped from the screenplay.

However, a much older Dick Grayson. While performing at haley circus, the Flying Graysons get an unexpected surprise. This surprise was Two-face. Unlike the comic universe, Dick Grayson has a older brother. This brother is Mitchell Grayson. When the Grayson family was trying to disarm a bomb, they fell and died.

Bruce Wayne eventually adopted Dick as his ward. Dick soon found the entrance to the Bat-cave and made himself a Robin costume. When Dick first worked with Batman, Bruce did not want him as his partner. It was only later in the movie that Bruce accepted Dick as his partner, after he proved himself worthy of being a hero.

In this movie, Dick begins to separate himself from Batman and the two have some arguments. Dick Grayson first appears and becomes Robin in the animated series. He was voiced by Loren Lester.

His origin story, Robin's Reckoning, won an Emmy Award. His costume resembles Tim Drake's. Dick is seen to be interested in Barbara Gordon. He also has an attraction to Batgirl, who happens to be Barbara as well. The two are oblivious to that fact for quite some time. Lester would reprise his role in the animated film Batman and Mr.

Freeze: SubZero. The revamp of the Animated series, is set a few years after the original. Dick Grayson now operates as Nightwing and is again voiced by Loren Lester. In the episode entitled "Old Wounds" it is revealed why Dick stopped being Robin. Dick found out that Barbara was Batgirl and that Bruce knew and didn't tell him. He blamed him for bringing her into this life and this climaxed with Robin punching Batman.

Later he is listed as saying "Hey, you can't stay a Boy Wonder Forever. With a population of 1. He is not voiced by anyone in this episode. Season one, focused on Robin trying to stop the illusive Slade. Robin obsesses so much that he adopts a new persona, Red X , to try to take Slade down from the inside out.

Slade, however, figures out the ruse and escapes. Leaving Robin with his teammates and a lot of hurt feelings. Sometime later, Slade returns and infects Robin's teammates.

He threatens to kill them if Robin doesn't do as he is told. Eventually, he is able to stop Slade and cure his friends. Robin is also shown to have feelings for Starfire. Though it is never said that Robin is Dick, many references support that he is in fact Dick Grayson, despite his personality being similar to Tim Drake. One being a scene when Raven enters Robin's mind, where we see a circus.

Another example is when Slade offers to be a father figure to Robin, to which he retorts by telling Slade that he already has a father and bats are seen flying up and out of Slade's stronghold. Dick Grayson joins the cast in the fourth season. In an episode entitled "Artifacts" Dick is seen to have adopted the Nightwing Persona.

In the show, Batgirl is portrayed older than Dick Grayson. She is shown to be in High School while Dick Grayson is still in middle school. He appears in the Batcave, when he gets to meet Superman in person. However, Batman tells him to go back and do his homework.

Dick Grayson and Batman are shown to team up. He has already left Gotham, operating in Bludhaven, donning a costume similar to the 'Earth-2' Robin. At the end of the episode "Sidekick's Assemble", he adopts Nightwing as his new persona. Unlike the cartoon, the comics state that Talia Al Ghul is the mother of Damian. When a new Clown Prince of Crime takes Gotham over with an iron fist, this new Joker might be to much for Dick to handle.

So disobeying his parents orders, Damian gains a Robin suit and becomes the sidekick of Dick Grayson. Eventually, through time Damian officially becomes the partner of Dick. Nightwing is voiced by Neil Patrick Harris. He helped Batman take out Amazo, but afterwards he is injured while chasing the Red Hood alongside Batman.

In this production, Dick wears the blue suit, minus the fingerstripes, much like the suit he wears in "The New Batman Adventures. This realization forces him to leave the mantle of Robin and walks away from the Titans. Unfortunately, even though he was no longer a hero, he was still pursued by Deathstroke , who had been busy hunting down each member of the Titans.

This forces Dick to return to his life of crime fighting. He returns to his bedroom and pulls a costume out from underneath his bed. He recounts that the costume and name were inspired by those who trained, taught, and mentored him the most: Superman and Batman.

Nightwing then began to reconnect with both Batman and his old allies in order to reform the Titans. Due to his great heroism, Nightwing was invited into the League but refused and instead became the leader of the Titans in Aqualad's place. DC Heroes Wiki Explore. DC Characters.
