With recommendations of a attainable marriage between Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson, Batgirl and Nightwing, in January’s Nightwing #100 from DC Comics, the conclusion of right now’s Nightwing #97 throws a spanner within the works, slightly. Regardless of how #96 ended…

…because the arrival of a yellow taxi causes some consternation from the pair.

Or slightly, who seems to be driving the taxi in query.

Full with scar to the again of the pinnacle. Quite a lot of years in the past within the Batman comedian books, Dick Grayson, the unique Robin and in addition the unique Nightwing, suffered a significant mind harm. You might bear in mind a sure rooftop scene with Batman, the Commissioner and Nightwing. And throughout the best way, the KGBeast, working underneath the command of Bane.

BANG. And for Dick Grayson, Robin, Nightwing, the whole lot modified.

He survived.

However the amnesiac Dick Grayson modified his title…

…rejecting any historical past as a superhero, at the same time as he was haunted by goals of what he as soon as was.

However he had, at the least discovered some contentment in his life. Rejecting the previous for the brand new.

Within the Nightwing Annual #2 we received to see that bullet-to-the-brain scene once more, proven to an amnesiac Dick Grayson. As a result of one way or the other it was being filmed on the time. With applicable and well-timed shut ups. Possibly Batman has a physique cam, that is my solely rationalization.

He does have some extent. I suppose Bruce Wayne simply does not need that each one that Batbodycam footage to go to waste. And as for that title change…

Nonetheless later within the concern, as Dick… sorry, Ric Grayson underwent remedy relating to his recollections, and we found that not all was because it appeared.

Nightwing #66 noticed the Courtroom Of Owls reveal all. That he by no means suffered amnesia in any respect. It was all right down to them.

And so we get a rewriting of Grayson’s historical past from the within out. A Batmanectomy, and one thing else inserted as an alternative. However finally Dick Grayson got here again.

Very a lot his previous self.

However that was then, that is now, and one way or the other Ric Grayson is… separate from Nightwing? It may well’t be Clayface once more, can it? It is at all times Clayface… Nightwing #97 by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo is printed right now.
