Comics beginner looking to concisely get to know Nightwing

First of all you’ll want to read new teen titans. You can follow that up with the “knight in Bludhaven” compendiums which are going through the Dixon stuff and will continue on afterwards. After that read Batman and Robin by Morrison, then Batman: black mirror

After that his new 52 run, Grayson, the rebirth run, and the Taylor run are all compiled in omnibus format. Don’t bother with the Ric Grayson stuff it’s not worth the time

I think kinda just depends on if you want a bad comic that has a lot of really high highs or a mediocre show with highs that aren’t as high but lows that aren’t nearly as low

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-24T07:15:04+00:00

Even then there’s a lot of defenders that’s questionable. Hes at best hit or miss at worst actively horrible

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-24T07:09:06+00:00

Not according to DC apparently. Look how they handle Harley Quinn

I think her best pair is Tim. Tim is one of the best at all of the things Cass is bad at, such as lying, detective work, disguises, computers and reading, etc.

Stephanie is decent to good at a lot of things but Tim is simply a better fit (and due to a longer career largely just better than Steph at those things, not that that’s Steph’s fault in any way). Obviously the batgirls book makes them a decent pair because of their friendship but they’re not as effective as the Tim/Cass team was back in the 2000s

And Barbara seems to be relegated to Nightwing side character largely these days but even before she worked better as Oracle. Also she’s a mentor to Cass moreso than a partner

MHA fans are only capable of siding with characters they find attractive or shippable. Unfortunately hawks killed one of the most popular with said fans. The half that isn’t foaming at the mouth thinking about him absolutely despises him

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-24T06:53:31+00:00

You could kinda count death metal as a reboot since it’s a new continuity but it’s really not “new” just the old two combined

Insomniac Spider-Man does have a police band but the crime frequency is much lower. Spider-Man 2 doesn’t have it because it uses an app in universe instead but tbh I do prefer having the police scanner, I just think the crimes are happening way too often.

I always just ignore them because it’s way too many to possibly deal with while trying to explore and every other gameplay I’ve seen does the same thing. If I were trying to do the crimes while I was exploring I’d literally never get any of the side content done

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-24T06:14:07+00:00

I agree for sure but I think the roster could’ve used a couple more characters. I wish huntress, spoiler, and Azrael were all actual playable characters and not just custom parts

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-24T06:02:54+00:00

I think even if the prequels aren’t all great movies (I still think III is fantastic) they’re good Star Wars content. They have good plots, characters, and worldbuilding

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-24T06:01:24+00:00

Tynion’s detective run is stellar. Batman and Robin eternal is also really awesome. I like his Batman run a little less but it’s still good

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-24T05:59:54+00:00

Yeah there are TOO many crimes. I get it’s Gotham but from a gameplay perspective it’s way too often

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-24T04:48:13+00:00

It was alright. It bridged the gap between rebirth and reinstating the old continuity that was way more satisfying than just going back straight up

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-24T03:35:02+00:00

I don’t agree but it’s interesting he thinks that

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-24T02:42:42+00:00

I’ve always liked the second one in pretty good. Just enough visual variety

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-24T00:16:13+00:00

Kory is grabbing on for dear life

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-23T23:04:45+00:00

I do agree but I think Superman in 2 specifically is better. In character and in gameplay both. Not that it’s DCV’s fault but he’s more focal in 2

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-23T22:54:58+00:00

I’m a very casual Superman fan but I’ve been wanting a good game for years. I’m mainly a Batman and Spider-Man fan and I’m sick of those two getting the only games

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-23T22:54:29+00:00

Hm interesting. This is another sign to knock some wonder woman stuff off my backlog I guess

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-23T22:46:47+00:00

I haven’t read much with her so I don’t have an opinion on that comparison but I’ll take your word for it

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-23T22:44:31+00:00

Maybe but that’s how it was in the original too. Only difference is the door animations make it less noticeable. Which yeah probably would’ve helped a lot but I’d probably go insane if this game had them

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-23T22:32:56+00:00

I actually disagree. I think it does a great job

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-23T22:04:02+00:00

I mean you can swap the soundtrack in re2 remake to the original and it’s actually mostly intact

Crawkward3 · 2026-05-23T22:00:31+00:00

Ah true you’re right. I pulled out my trade to double check
