SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY
Nightwing’s New Villain Is Already Working from the Shadows
This reveal comes on the finish of two-part story, which appears to happen individually from—although associated to—the occasions of the continuing Nightwing sequence. Within the earlier half to this story, Nightwing and Batgirl had been following a lead about one other new villain calling herself “the Director.” Revealed within the second half to be an arts scholar at an area school, the Director’s M.O. entails manipulating prison “scenes” with a purpose to movie Nightwing and his allies saving the day—although a couple of of those “movies” have led to dying and carnage. Nightwing and Batgirl handle to infiltrate and put a cease to her newest “movie,” which concerned quite a lot of tech and even hiring the notorious (and cannibalistic) murderer, Flamingo.
It is at this level the pair understand there have to be somebody “worse” offering the Director along with her sources—and in order that they’ll finally need to confront whoever this “worse” particular person or group is. The issue being, in fact, that neither Nightwing nor Batgirl have any concept who this entity may very well be—and neither do readers, seeing as that is our first glimpse of Nightwing’s new masked enemy. Surprisingly, this is not in contrast to the present occasions of Nightwing, the place Dick has lately found one other shadowy group, not in contrast to the Court docket of Owls, on the coronary heart of Blüdhaven.
It is too early to say for positive, however maybe this theatre-themed villain is expounded to this different group in Blüdhaven. In any case, this story from City Legends might have concluded its first “scene,” however the introduction of this new, seemingly-powerful character should imply readers can be seeing extra of them quickly, whether or not in Nightwing or elsewhere. Nightwing followers have not seen the final of this unusual and unsettling new enemy.
