Nightwing 1: Leaping into the Light

Product Information

I think this approach often creates problems, which is why he has Dick mention his aspirations to do more than just punch people. Suddenly now the richest man in Blüdhaven, Dick is hoping to do more than just being Nightwing, but other forces have sinister plans for the city.

With all this new found money Dick is now a billionaire, and wants to make a difference in Bludhaven.Okay, the essence of Dick Grayson as a person and Nightwing as his vigilante alias has never felt so perfectly captured.

Ha un approccio molto sentimentale che mi ricorda Geoff Johns, mentre Redondo attinge a piene mani dallo stile “infografico” che ha dato successo alla run di Fraction e Aja su Occhio di Falco. So why do I think Leaping into the Light is still successful and a must read for any fan or aspiring fan of Nightwing? This first 6 issue arc shows Dick Grayson (Nightwing) being visited by an old friend, Barbara Gordan. I haven't been interested in keeping up with DC lately, but this is one title that I'm glad I didn't miss out on.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I've often said that Nightwing should be used to tell Batman stories that probably wouldn't work with today's version of Batman and this feels like it's going in that direction. He is perhaps best known for the DC Comics series, DCEASED, NIGHTWING (nominated for 8 Eisner Awards), SUPERMAN: SON OF KAL-EL, INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US, SUICIDE SQUAD, EARTH 2 and BATMAN/SUPERMAN as well as Marvel's FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN, ALL NEW WOLVERINE, X-MEN: RED, DARK AGES and SUPERIOR IRON MAN. The use of warm tones really added to the emotional and down-to-Earth feel of this volume and Nightwing’s character as a whole. Nothing feels like too much, but it’s still outstanding in detail and I am always excited to see what he’ll do next.

I never read a Nightwing graphic novel before but this came up on Prime reading and I have been reading Batman and the Flash recently too for similar reasons. When Nightwing enlists Batgirl’s help in investigating the politician bearing the same name as the man who murdered his parents, she unearths details that will shock and fundamentally change the hero. And in the end, we are supposed to be really moved when Dick gives a speech we hope our current spate of billionaires would listen to, as if they would give most of their money to healing the world (okay, a couple billionaires are in fact giving a ton of money to charity).Blockbuster and Heartless do have their action scenes with Dick, but both lack a coherent mission beyond amassing power…or hearts. Who knew that the recently departed Alfred invested his salary and pretty well so he died a billionaire and gave it all to Dick.

When the Bat-Family receives misleading information and incorrect directions from Oracle, ones Barbara Gordon didn t send herself, they realise Oracle s system has been hacked! Dick Grayson has had a lot of changes over the last few years, as he was a secret agent at one point, to then being shot in the head and becoming Rick, which is a run I'd like to forget ever happened.There is a deep emphasis on familial ties and the many ways these can establish themselves in one’s life. For Dick, Blüdhaven is an opportunity for him to be a hero on a grander scale beyond “punching bad guys and then waiting to punch more”. It has stakes, fantastic art that elevates the script instead of highlighting it’s flaws, and an actual endgame for Dick Grayson’s character arc.
