The origin of how Nightwing grew to become a vampire has lastly been defined in “Dark Beginning: Half 2” from DC vs. Vampires: All-Out Warfare #3 (by Emma Vieceli, Haining, and Troy Peteri). Nightwing was forcibly turned by a vampire named Pandora. She wished to make use of him as a weapon towards the then vampire queen to revive energy to her faction of vampires, who noticed themselves as superior to humanity. After a prolonged combat towards a number of vampires, Nightwing was lastly turned.
What got here after although was extremely stunning. Nightwing not solely killed Pandora instantly after being turned however appeared all of the sudden onboard with the concept of confronting Mary. It looks like he gave up far too rapidly. Sure, technically he’s now undead, however he is additionally seen different, way more not possible issues occur. Reasonably than give in to his new state of existence, he may have tried to combat it, ask for assist, or do any variety of issues that did not contain taking up the world.
It would not appear to be in Nightwing’s nature to offer in — no less than not simply. But, he did so a number of occasions all through the difficulty. He gave up when surrounded by vampires, he acquiesced to Pandora’s needs to confront Mary, and he even turned his again on Batman’s “no kill” rule. General, this challenge confirmed Nightwing at his weakest emotionally, succumbing to a number of influences. Nevertheless, the most important thriller is what occurred after he grew to become a vampire. He did not need to be turned, and nothing was mentioned to persuade him to willingly be a part of their trigger. Nightwing all of the sudden murdering Pandora signifies that some a part of him wished to combat again, however nothing reveals what induced his shift in loyalty
One risk is that changing into a vampire may need made him consider what Pandora mentioned — that vampires are higher than people. Since Pandora was apparently the strongest amongst them however she nonetheless turned to Nightwing for assist, it might have triggered a bit energy journey. It may have been like taking a drug — getting excessive on the energy he all of the sudden possessed and agreeing that they should be on the high of the meals chain.
One other risk is that, in his new state, he acknowledged that there was little that might be completed to save lots of him. Vampirism is a thriller within the DC Universe. A lot in order that curing it might appear not possible to him. With that in thoughts, Nightwing would probably haven’t any selection however to decide to his new species, and attempt to enhance their lives as a result of that is simply the form of individual he’s. Nonetheless, it appears odd that in a world of resurrection, aliens, and gods, he by no means as soon as contemplated making an attempt to undo what has been completed.
There are a number of technique of getting back from the lifeless, absolutely considered one of them would possibly have the ability to repair this. As a substitute of making an attempt, he instantly latched on to the concept of vampire supremacy. Giving him the good thing about the doubt although, perhaps Nightwing wasn’t absolutely onboard with the plan for conquest but. He solely requested to talk with Mary, he by no means said he would kill her. Maybe he desires to know if there’s a strategy to reverse the change. No matter his intentions although, it is clear what path he selected to stroll down.
