However the latest Batman: Wayne Household Adventures reveals that even Nightwing cannot determine if his obvious loss of life within the New 52 counts in the direction of his bingo.
In Batman: Wayne Household Adventures #7 “Vigilante Bingo” by Starbite, CRC Payne, Maria Li, Lan Ma, CM Cameron, and Kielamel Sibal revealed that Nightwing does not know if he can declare one nightmarish win that his siblings can simply declare for themselves. The Webtoon begins with the Bat-Household assembled within the Batcave after being known as there by Red Robin to have fun an enormous milestone in Sign’s vigilante bingo — sending a supervillain to Arkham Asylum by himself. The crew congratulated Duke on his achievement, just for him to ask them what else they celebrated. Robin held his hand up and quizzed his siblings on what number of of them had began their very own superhero crew. Afterward, Red Robin requested what number of of them modified their names earlier than and most of them held their arms up. Orphan requested what number of of them have been educated by assassins. Red Hood, hoping to one-up his siblings, requested what number of of them had been murdered and introduced again to life. Orphan, Red Hood and Robin raised their arms.
In the meantime, Nightwing questioned if his “factor with the Crime Syndicate” counted or not, stating that he might by no means bear in mind. Red Hood hurriedly declared that it didn’t depend, whereas Red Robin mentioned that it did depend.
Sign, understandably nervous about what number of of his new siblings had died and are available again, requested in the event that they have been being critical. Red Hood shot again that it occurred greater than he would suppose. Steering the dialog to a extra constructive aspect, Nightwing responded that there have been enjoyable components of vigilante bingo, and Red Robin shifted the group to speaking about pranking Batman whereas they have been within the area.
Nonetheless, Nightwing questioning if his New 52 “loss of life” truly counts is comparatively cheap, contemplating the unusual circumstances surrounding it and the truth that he was solely “useless” for a number of seconds. Throughout Geoff Johns and David Finch’s crossover Endlessly Evil, the Crime Syndicate from Earth-3 got here to Earth-0 in aftermath of the Trinity Conflict occasion. Hoping to take over the universe, the Crime Syndicate methodically defeated their Justice League counterparts.

Afterwards, they strapped him to a Homicide Machine, a bomb set to blow up except Nightwing’s coronary heart stops. Lex Luthor, who had lately turned away from a lifetime of crime, secretly gave Nightwing a capsule that stopped his coronary heart for a number of seconds.
As Nightwing died, Batman, Luthor and their allies defeated what remained of the Crime Syndicate with out the specter of an exploding bomb over their heads. Whereas Luthor managed to revive Nightwing fast sufficient so he did not formally die, the remainder of the world thought he was useless. Nightwing used his newly gained anonymity to infiltrate the key spy group Spyral within the fan-favorite sequence Grayson.
Provided that Red Hood’s ugly loss of life was probably the most essential moments within the DC Universe for a really very long time, it is solely pure that he would not depend Dick’s heart-stopping for a number of seconds as an actual “loss of life.” In the meantime, as one of many few who’s by no means died, Red Robin pondering it counts is not unusual. Since Nightwing is the oldest member of his siblings, he naturally has much more expertise than the remainder of the crew, however dying and coming again is among the few experiences that his juniors appear to have over him.
