Clint and Barney Barton in the Fraction/Aja run of Hawkeye have very similar vibes to Nathan and Sam Drake in Uncharted 4
Also, read Judas Contract. He basically surrenders by letting Jericho take him down, cause he's his son. And then during his trial, the only thing the court can stick him with is illegal possession of firearms, and he's let out not long after.
I want a martial arts story in Nightwing. Just to really establish that yes, the guy who was already a pro athlete at 8, and has been trained to fight since he was a kid, is legitimately one of the greatest martial artists in the world.
Dick is also apparently going to play a big role in Gotham in Shadows of the Bat, and I have to ask why? His two main books are Titans Academy and Nightwing and in both he's voiced a greater commitment to Blüdhaven. The only cities he should be in regularly are NYC and Blüdhaven.
I like to think that while the billboards at the beginning of Rebirth were just a marketing gimmick, the Nightwing statue Blüdhaven built came from a place of genuine love.
I like the idea that people come to Blüdhaven to reinvent themselves (Nightwing, the Run-Offs). The city has deep, structural problems, but the people are trying to rise above it. They just have a massively corrupt city government. I like that the current run is touching on that.
I think the way to make Blüdhaven fit Nightwing is acknowledge its history and frame it as a city that reinvents itself (much like Dick has). It's dealt with the runoff criminals of Gotham, and then refugees after Cataclysm. It was destroyed by Chemo, but it bounces back. https://t.co/vZ9uVGLo7j
Much as I have nostalgia for the 90s run of Nightwing, I don't think "Gotham, but worse" is the way to go. It feels needlessly edgy, takes away from the mythic nature of Gotham, and makes Nightwing feel like Batman-lite.
On the other hand, Rebirth's was just Vegas by the sea.

I love that Lemire kept the aspects of Robin that make it something Dick really created and defined: using the nickname from his mom, his family's colors, and an identity separate from Batman (he's not Batboy).
