Cullination Royalty: Nightwing Part 1

NIGHTWING

PART 1: A BRIEF BIO ABOUT THE CHARACTER

Nightwing has been the name of many different people in the DC comic book universe.  But we are going to talk about the most well know Nightwing.  His real name is Richard (Dick) Grayson.  He was first famous for being the very first Robin making his appearance in 1984.  Of course he was Batman's side kick and together they were called "the dynamic duo", but eventually everything comes to an end.  Their team was no different.  After having a bit of a misunderstanding, Dick Grayson decided to leave Batman and go solo.

Albeit, Nightwing's first costume is not very good.  Maybe that's why he is still underrated today.  First impressions are important after all.  His costume made him look a little flamboyant and like he should be a punching bag rather than saving anyone.  Even I have trouble looking at Dick Grayson while he's wearing that costume.  That's exactly the reason why I feel like I must always say his last name in this article. 

In 1995, DC started to publish a miniseries of Nightwing.  That series is still going on today, obviously not as a miniseries.  Nightwing has made a few appearances in Batman comics.  For instance, Nightwing appearred in the famous Knight Fall story line.  Nightwing has even made a few appearances in video games.  He is a playable character in the newest Batman title Arkham City. 

Dick Grayson has been through a lot in his career of being a superhero.  He still gets treated like a no body in the DC universe.  He gets over shadowed by his mentor, "The Dark Knight."  Now I'm not saying that Batman is overrated, I love Batman.  I'm just saying that Dick Grayson as Nightwing deserves a lot more love than he gets.
