Knowing me, I had to do a review on one of our favorite sidekicks known to man. Nightwing, formerly known as Robin as Batman's little red masked crusader sidekick butt buddy, who is also known as Dick Greyson.
A little history about the little birdie, that isn't so little in his own comic "Nightwing".
Nightwing is a name that has been used by several fictional characters in the DC Comics Universe. The identity was created as a Kryptonian analogue to the character of Batman, with Nightwing's frequent partner Flamebird based on Robin. Both before Crisis on Infinite Earths and after it, the Nightwing persona originates with a Kryptonian vigilante taking the name of the "nightwing", a bird native to Krypton. Pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths, the identity is created by Superman, when he and Jimmy Olsen act as vigilantes during trips to the bottle city of Kandor. Post-Crisis, the name is attributed to a historic Kryptonian crime fighter. This hero serves as an inspiration for Dick Grayson when he sheds his Robin identity and assumes the name and a new costume in Tales of the Teen Titans #44 (1984). Although the moniker originated with the Superman mythos, Dick Grayson is the character most associated with the name Nightwing.
After I read this issue of Nightwing, I liked him more as Nightwing than Robin, I don't know why, but he seems like he is more brutal (like a Batman figure) than he was as Robin. I loved how Greg Land (Penciller/artist) drew the cartoons, and his costume. I liked the overall story of the comic, and the villains in it where pretty neat, but as the story continues, and you buy the later issues, they get even better, pulling you in more and more.
Overall, this was a great little mini series of comic's. And I enjoyed it. If any of you are like me, you will as well.
I will give this a 100% work ethic, and a pay raise. Just because I can, and I don't care what any of the other employees think.
