Nightwing makes his long awaited return in cover to Batman #99

Ever since he got shot in the head by the KGBeast in Batman #55, Richard "Dick" Grayson's life has literally turned upside down and has never been the same for fans of the former Robin turned Nightwing. Batman went on a mission to avenge his fallen adopted son/ ward, but after Dick recovers he is not the same man. He doesn't remember ANYTHING after the death of his parents, and that amnesia pretty much erases his time as a hero and his history with the Bat Family. Beginning with Nightwing #50, he goes by the name "Ric Grayson" - and tries to lead a new life as a cab driver and normal civilian. That doesn't stick though, as his past somehow comes back to haunt him with four individuals taking up the Nightwing persona as a team, dealing with the Court of Owls, and "Ric" is pulled back into the world of crimefighting due to instinct and a feeling.

That will all come to a head in "Joker War" apparently, and via Newsarama/ Gamesradar and artist Jorge Jimenez on Twitter, it looks like Dick Grayson/ Nightwing will be back to reclaim his identity at long last if the cover to Batman #99 is any indication! I sure hope so - as MANY HAVE WAITED FOR DICK TO RETURN. It all leads to the milestone issue of Batman #100 this October... And one can only hope this is the payoff.

Batman #99, written by James Tynion IV and illustrated by Jorge Jimenez -  is solicited for a September release.

Batman: Greg Capullo teases Batman: Endgame with a pencilled image

Batman with a gun. Harper Row as Bluebird. And... A masked vigilante that could be the new Nightwing?

These are some of the speculations to come straight out of a pencilled image that artist Greg Capullo tweeted from his official Twitter page, which was featured in Newsarama and is obviously a tease for his and writer Scott Snyder's next big epic Batman story for The New 52 - Batman: Endgame. That begins with issue #35 next month, and as Snyder teased in a video with DC All Access.

Seeing Batman using a firearm may be a big surprise to most since he has the "No Kill" rule, but it certainly is not unheard of. In the early days of Bill Finger and Bob Kane's run with the Caped Crusader, he used guns. Also, it could be a modified stun weapon similar to what an aged Bats used against Superman in Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Seeing Harper Row in action with Batman is not a surprise since this storyline is supposed to take place after the events of Batman: Eternal... But the new kid to the left of The Caped Crusader is a mystery that needs solving. Could it be Dick Grayson back in a costumed identity, or is it Harper's brother joining the fight?

We'll find out soon enough when Batman #35 begins "Endgame".

Dick Grayson evolves into something else in new "Grayson" comic series

Consider this a post-FOREVER EVIL spoiler of comic book universe altering proportions... So if you haven't been up to date with the latest happenings in DC Comics' New 52 universe, you have been properly warned.

That being said, the cat has been let out of the bag courtesy of USA Today... BIG CHANGES are happening for Richard "Dick" Grayson, and he's getting the "Secret Agent" treatment in the upcoming "Grayson" comic book series, to be done by the creative team of Tim Seeley of Revival fame and former CIA operative Tom King.

Better known by his persona as "Nightwing", Dick Grayson was the very first Robin and sidekick to Batman, before stepping out of his mentor's shadow and becoming his own man. However, he still maintained ties with the Bat-Family, and even took over as The Dark Knight for a time following Bruce Wayne's supposed death. Now it seems that Dick has to adopt a new role following the result of his identity being exposed in Forever Evil by the Crime Syndicate... And whatever happens as a result of the end of that main event storyline by DC Comics. Only time will tell for certain what follows afterwards. For more on the story, visit the source post at USA Today.

"Nightwing" ends with issue #30 when it hits on May 28, with "Grayson" to follow soon afterwards.

Batman and Robin: Annual #2 looks at the original Dynamic Duo's first New 52 adventure

Before Forever Evil changed Dick Grayson/ Nightwing's world as we know it, a certain moment brought him and his mentor Batman/ Bruce Wayne together again to recall one of their first adventures as the original Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin. Thanks to a conversation between Dick and the late Damian Wayne, Bruce finds something important left by his son prior to his loss, and summons his first protege to discuss and relive some key moments of their past.

Via Newsarama, here's the preview to Batman and Robin Annual #2, slated for release on January 29.

DC Comics reveals Batgirl's look & Nightwing's role in the New 52 "Zero Year" story

With Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's latest Batman story arc "Zero Year" going strong with the first two issues and attempting to properly explain the origins of The Dark Knight in the New 52 Universe, DC Comics steps up things in the game by giving fans a first look at how Batgirl/ Barbara Gordon will look during the early years of Batman's career.

Looking drastically different and more on the style of a vigilante crime-fighter in the making, Barbara will be appearing in a very un-Batgirl way in the tie-in Batgirl story that compliments Zero Year, sporting a suit that sees her starting down her path to becoming a fellow winged avenger alongside Gotham City's Dark Knight Defender. According to DC's E-i-C Bob Harris, she'll be forced to defend her home and brother James Gordon Jr. when they're attacked, and through the experience realize her potential to make a difference and protect what she cares for in a new kind of way. The Batgirl tie-in will be written by Marguerite Benett, and illustrated by Fernando Pasarin and Jonathan Galapion. More info can be seen via the source posts at DC Comics.com and Newsarama.


Other titles will also bring in a "Zero Year" feel to them, including Batman's first sidekick and protege Dick Grayson, aka the first Robin and present day Nightwing. In his own series, the tie in will explore Dick's time a year prior to his parents' death, and see where the "Flying Graysons" figure during the events of "Zero Year". For more on the story as well as Nightwing series writer Kyle Higgins thoughts, visit the source post at Newsarama.

Batman: The Zero Year is currently playing out in Batman by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo.

Batman Arkham City Update: Nightwing is coming to the game as DLC!

Take this with a grain of salt of however you'd pluck out news in the internet, but via a scoop at Comic Book Movie, it looks like we may now have a fourth playable character coming to Warner Bros. Interactive and Rocksteady Studios' Batman: Arkham City, and it's none other than the first Robin and ward of Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson aka Nightwing!

Word of Nightwing's appearance in the sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum was speculated for some time now (and hoped by big Batfans). In website PSTrophies, the trophy list to Batman Arkham City was updated, and featured in it were specific trophies dedicated to the orphaned circus acrobat and protege of Batman. This means that like the other DLC character Tim Drake/ Robin, Dick Grayson/ Nightwing will be playable as an extra character outside of the main campaign mode, which allows players to control Batman and Catwoman in the main story.

Nightwing has yet to be officially confirmed, but there's a strong possibility now that word like this is out. You can check more on the scoop from the source posts at CBM and PSTrophies for details.
