(Probably) Not picking up Nightwing
Sorry! It’s just not going to happen anytime soon. I already dropped the book because I got tired of Dick being written with 99 problems and gets a few good moments. A ideal Nightwing book is NOT him getting hit by Helena or constantly being tricked by that villain of the week. I want a Dick Grayson that is second to Batman in investigation and fighting skill.
I understand that what Seeley is doing is in the ballpark for what Nightwing fans felt during the Dixon run but I don’t even like the plot of that run and really just loved the characterization of Dick. But Sam Humpries, the new writer for Nightwing soon, is already showing signs of writing a mediocre Nightwing. His interview concerning it worries me.
For starters, he seem excited about his Judge villain. Just like Raptor, I immediately have issues when a writer comes to write Nightwing and is talking about the villain. Like uh no, this is a NIGHTWING book. I don’t care about how good you think your villain is. I’ve been a fan LONG ENOUGH to know OC villains are NOT cool when you talk about them and shill them up. The last time this happen, it was Mother. Batman and Robin Eternal was a disappointment and part of it was because the villain was yet another one who knew EVERYTHING ABOUT THE BATFAM! Raptor’s saving grace was connecting him to his mom. Because finally, a aspect of Dick ALWAYS ignored 99.99% of the time is focused. Having yet another villain Dick just couldn’t capture but stalked him makes him look incapable. Again. It’s really annoying that Nightwing only fights these kind of OC villains but can’t fight Deathstroke. I’m still waiting for the one day he crosses over.
Another thing that has me on edge is the book being more “STREET LEVEL” and “PERSONAL”. Like that’s what Nightwing is usually is and it’s....boring. Can we slide in some sci-fi? Horror? Supernatural? Spy? A new, genre element that can make this run a little different? And concerning supporting cast....Guppy and Baby Ruth? Why not fucking Amy Roarchach? Helena Bertinelli?! Harper Row? Rose Wilson? Joey Wilson? (okay, idfc If they’re Deathstroke supporting cast). Promote Damian and Kori to a regular. Donna Troy. Kyle Rayner pop in? Deadman?
It be cool...but noooo....its a street level book so that limits what happens in it or who gets to show up. I’m just saying; I’m tired of every Nightwing thing since New 52 with the exception of Grayson being outright meh. Nothing pushing boundaries. The formula not being actually changed.
