Bruce literally raised and trained Dick to be better than him. Have healthier relationships, be a better leader too, not let the pain of his parents death consume him like did with Bruce. I love their father and son bond a lot 😊😊

Better leader, more empathetic and didn’t let the worlds darkness overshadow the joy he felt from unity he experienced from the circus

Nightwing's character growth makes sense logically. Unlike Batman, who had to grow up thru his trauma while trying to save gotham AND raise kids past these circumstances, Dick grew up with both the trauma of loss and a vision board of the effects of that trauma. Being raised by batman, he has learned almost all of the hard, brutal, and relentless lessons that made Batman such a hardened warrior, but he also learned from his mistakes as a human being. The emotional intelligence, sympathy, empathy, and relatability were things Batman struggled to get, while Dick grew to excell in them. Its why he was always able to keep a smile thru the darkness. In a way, Nightwing is like if Batman moved like batman, but with Superman's personality.

Having Batman and Nightwing team up and fight like this in the DCU would be so fucking peak.

I love when Batman and Nightwing work together.

I sure as hell hope you never stop bringing us these bro.

Nightwing is one of the most underrated/underappreciative dc heroes.

I'M 45. From Burt Ward, Nightfall Prodigal Son. Teen Titans, Nightwing comics. Young Justice etc etc etc. For ME, Dick Grayson was ALWAYS my goat. I had Robin pajamas with velcro capes when i was a kid. He was the ORIGINAL #3 of DC Comics. The FIRST character to see GROW UP. As the Saiyan Scholar would say, "HE'S A GOD DAMN ROLE MODEL"!

Nightwing is Batman successor and will make a good protector of Gotham

Oh good. I almost skipped this thinking it was a quick recap of the Bludhaven heart-gun arc (which I already heard and loved) that proved NightWing was better at saving cities. But this was neat.

Have to say the nightwing comics have been a fun read

Whenever this topic comes up I always think of that one audio log from Gotham Knights where Bruce says something to the effect of “Nightwing is everything Batman was meant to be”

And nightwing makes me a better man and shows us how to have fun and be a kind hero too

I love seeing Batman and Nightwing being the dynamic duo again. Except we get to see just how much Nightwings grown. /this is one of those comics that i like seeing Batman get out batmaned lol. Yeah i think he is a better hero than batman, I mean the kid had a nightwing themed pencil case. Dont see many people carry batman merch in the comics lol. But at least Batman was able to say some good words to Gar. I think that human side to him is whats missing a lot of the time. Its something we see in Nightwing a lot. The light in the darkness kinda thing. But of course Batman just has to be prepared for everything except for whatever takes over his city.

Anytime you do Nightwing and/or Batman stories im hitting that play button faster than the Flash can run around earth 😂

They've both grown a lot. Batman isn't the kind of person to compound mistakes, so having Nightwing help was the smart call, especially seeing how Nightwing's mask isn't designed to cause fear. Batman has had issues with his outfits scaring kids in the past, which is something he laments.

Ok but Bruce did overcome his trauma in the Knight Terrors event. Batman does change and has, that smile at the end says it all, but some things still make him Batman.

Ty for doing these still benny

This is a real nice story! I kind of hope we get this someday in the DCU!

This is why I fucking love Tom Taylor

Can we get more proud Batman moments. How about 2 -3 month run of Batman being the sidekick to the Batfamily where we see the growth in Batman.

What a wholesome story

When Bruce came back Dick was doing so good of a job at batman, he disappeared all over again

Batman, nightwing, and Barbara. I love this trio. We don't get too many moments with these three alone. I missed these moments.

Nightwing is one of the most respected heroes in the DC Universe, he's the ultimate leader and the one that Batman trusts and respects the most. Batman realized he was his own man in a New Teen Titans/Outsiders crossover in the 1980's when Robin said no to Batman's battle plans and came up with a better plan.

Gd vid it was fun on a Sunday keep gd work yo🔥

Dick Grayson is my favourite comic book character of all time. What makes Nightwing special is that he is everything Batman couldn't be. Batman is definitely one of if not the greatest superhero in all of fiction but he is obsessed with the mission and has given up his life to be Batman but Nightwing didn't. Instead of lingering in the darkness Dick moved on and celebrated his parents' lives, he formed relationships, became a true leader and devoted his life to helping others out of the kindness of his heart. Dick Grayson is only human yet he is more heroic than most superheroes.

Great story. Thank you for bringing it to us.

Can DC give Nightwing a movie please

Easy. Batman literally wanted Dick to be better than him. So he raised him better than probably every other Robin. Also he seems to be happier than Batman, despite being an orphan. Also, Dick was a MUCH better father to Damien than Bruce. And will eventually tie the knot with Barbara, and have their own kids. You heard it first.

So beast boy full name is a cat that hates Monday and he like Canadian burbin.

If more comics like this start releasing I may just look into buying them. Havent enjoyed a comic story of more recent years for a while!

I'm more of a Marvel guy, but Dick Grayson is in my Top 5 of Superheroes he's awesome and compassionate without a single power. The world needs more Dick's! 😉

🥳 good two issue penultimate arc of the character who is "Better Than Batman!" And, happy Legacy Issue 300 Nightwing 🖤💙💫 I am very sad to see that the next arc is the end of the Taylor-Redondo-Lucas run of "Nightwing" 😢 Lastly, I very sorry and sad that Taylor is being hated and life being threatened by prejudice trolls for some things such as their hate of making "good" characters in inspiring heroes such as Dick Grayson and Barbra Gordon in comic book such as "Nightwing."

Nightwing is more of Superman's son now. I love his optimistic behaviour.

"Better" in the sense that this is exactly how lineage is supposed to go- you set up the next generation to build upon all you've done, and to be better suited to what the world has become. He's "better" at working as a team than Batman- and that's because Batman helped make a world with these teams of modern superheroes. He connects more casually with kids, because he got to have a Bat Family, whereas Batman only had Alfred. Things like that.

Batman: “Robin needed to help bring the man who murdered his family to justice” Wonder Woman: “So he could turn out like you?” Batman: “So that he wouldn’t.”

Nightwing is always so aesthetic. Never made too bulky

Best leader in the DC Universe, not too stubborn to ask for help from others, great mentor to the younger generation, cultivated lasting relationships with nearly all other heroes, more approachable and consummate ladies man who has healthier romantic relationships

The thing about Bruce was that Alfred didn't know how to help Bruce get past his grief. Bruce did know how to help Dick. Moreover, Bruce was able to help Dick get justice for his parents' death and not vengeance. All good parents want their kids to have a better life than they had it and to be better than themselves. In that regard, Bruce truly succeeded.

0:09 that gosh DAM 🦫 title got me!!!! SO FAST

Cover the Chuck Dixon run!!!!❤

Complete Agreement. But I wonder about the darker moments...Morrison's retcon of Damian's conception or Devin Grayson's attempt of making Tarantula a "hero" after what she did to our man...oof!

More Nightwing ‼️🙇🏽‍♂️

Love Nightwing. Love it when any channel shows Nightwing some love.

what a good story. i wouldn't mind picking this up

Nightwing/Dick Grayson was praised for how much better than Batman/Bruce Wayne is by none other than JOKER himself. Yes, you heard me right. Joker himself publicly stated that out of everyone who has held the mantle of Robin, Dick is the one he hates the most, because Dick is the ONLY one he was never able to traumatize.

Learning more about Batman's story has really changed my opinion on him. I used to think he was so cool. He was rich, attractive, powerful, stalked around at night, brought justice to a city full of injustice. But then I had my own brush with injustice. And even as part of me descends into the hell of revenge fantasies, I know its a dark road I cannot go down. It sucks and now I see how that dark road destroyed Batman's hopes of having a normal life.

Great comic!

Yes. Just yes. All the yes. Nightwing is my DC boyo, I love him. He is better in darn near every way, especially and undoubtedly mental health wise. He even has the cutest doggo!

I love this. Batman will always be my favorite superhero. I loved the robins but Dick is better than his old moniker of robin. Dick is better as a character as Nightwing. I hope this made sense.

I read this. Physical copy and on the DCU Infinite app. Good story 👍🏽

He isn't better than Batman; he's different, and that's the point. This is about a mentor, watching his once student, being what he tried his best to mold him into, and the mastership that Knightwing now possesses. 10:24

I loved the beginning of 112 where Bruce tells Dick his anger is ok, but he can't take it on the streets because they aren't there to punish, just stop the bad. 1) it shows that even though Bruce has crossed that line before, he does try to be cognizant of it and 2) he has tried to instill in Dick what he failed to learn that early on.

While I do enjoy Batman and Spider-Man content a lot as they are my favorite heroes, since unfortunately writers don't let those two grow up and retire, I have kept a close watch on Nightwing, as he is what I would have wanted Batman and Spider-Man to be allowed to grow into, as the guy is more than a guy in tights he's a freaking role model everyone should aspire to be, and that is why he has slowly become one of my favorite characters, even if I did find his original kid Robin costume worrisome because of the fact he didn't wear pants, and his first Nightwing costume was very questionable too as it looked like a disco party suit, but other than that he's just an awesome character.

The panel in the TN looks like the Trash Can Nermal meme

I think it’s time that Nightwing has his own sidekick

really nice

Nightwing all day long. I love the ethos of his character. He’s what BM wants to be, but can’t. He exists as this beautiful reminder of struggle, turned into something wonderful. Like a parent who made mistakes, to watch their child observe, learn and grow from them. My kiddo is a better me, and I love that for her.

Best comic ever.

This Batman is great though. He isn't the brutal vigilante mindlessly beating up criminals like so many portray him as.

Best part of this story imo is that it shows both Bruce *and* Dick have grown. Dick is *the* successor and superior to Batman in almost every way, but Batman clearly has also grown too, finally recognizing when he's in over his head and knows when to call for help, not to mention being proud as well of his son growing past him.

He’s Batman’s greatest success

What happens with the kid after this? I feel like the story is leading to Dick adopting him and raising him as Nightwing’s version of Robin.

The goat

Nightwing is Batmans greatest success after all

I really wish Dick had stayed as Batman permanently, the Morrison run with him and Damian is still my favorite Batman run

This is indeed the reason why Nightwing is better than the Batman. This is by no means an accident; this is what Bruce Wayne wanted for Dick from Day 1. This is a success story -- actually many success stories, as Bruce, Alfred, Clark and Dick himself all claim parts in this clear victory. While Bruce is truly comfortable and functional only in the dark, Dick moves between light and darkness nearly without effort, at home in more environments than his primary mentor. While Bruce is balanced, his balance is uncomfortable, unnatural and precarious when compared to that of his oldest son. Indeed, I would be surprised if Bruce were not now actively trying to become more like Dick; he could do worse!

He's better because batman raised & trained him to be better then him ❤

Well he was trained by the Batman so I expect that to be the case if he was trained well.

3:53 I feel like this general “nightwing is better than Batman” because nightwing can identify with others more is the plot of a LEGO BATMAN MOVIE the satire potential is there!!! 😂

God damn..

Hey

Nightwing really is the best of them. This is why I believe that Dick Grayson is not the best heir to the cape, because Nightwing is his own hero. Nightwing isn't blinded by "the mission" nor does he use it as an excuse for shallowness and apathy.

Because He’s a better acrobat, this is why Bruce recruited him in the first place, his jaw was dropping just to see what an amazing acrobat this kid was at such a young age, and to impress Batman you truly have to be a Bad Ass, He’s not just your favorite hero Comicstorian, He’s mine too.

What happened wasn't Batman locked in blackgate?

Renee knows nightwings identity?

NIGHTWING is the better hero and this kinda brought some tears to my eye

NW is the MAN! Next up, NW 300!

I think Frank Miller would disagree.

Comparing to the original is like saying a james bond actor is better than sean connery. Nobody can be better because all bond performances copy connery in one way or another. Without batman, the vigilantes of gotham would not themselves have been able to build a force like the bat family. None of them is smart or driven enough to study and train as much as batman did. Street level heroes are always compared to batman, not nightwing, not black canary, not lady shiva, not jim gordon, only batman. Batman is the standard. Guys like nightwing might have better soft skills or superior athleticism or intelligence or creativity, but batman still has far more skills, long term goals, indomitable will, and experience. Tim might be a better detective and nightwing a superior fighter, but no batfam member is an expert in chemistry, biology, engineering, IT, literature, popular media, history, languages, psychology, etc etc. Unlike the kids, batman didnt have a role model or peers. He pioneered it all and continues to be the backbone of the family.

goatwing

Batman still a better hero

People will say Nightwing is better, but Bruce is the reason he became who he is.

Nightwing is a better person than Batman but he can still get that ass beat with the rest of his family by Batman

👍

Man I love nightwing and how Batman knows nightwing is a better hero then him

🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙

😅

Nightwing over Batman any day of the week.

no

Wayyyyy better then batman

No i don't think so.

It still doesn't prove Nightwing better than batman, a killer is still out there and this guy has kill over a hundred people, the comic prove that he's a good hero but not a better hero/ crime fighter than batman

He’s not

nightwing over batman any day 🩷 love dick grayson so much!!!

Nightwing isn’t better than Batman

Love the content Mate but as for Night wing being better than Batman, fuck no

He’s not. The writers are just saying that. He’s the new captain marvel where everyone in DC universe keeps saying he’s the best without showing why. He hasn’t even caught Heartless yet. DC has done everything to tear Bruce down and build Dick up. So much so that most of the comments here believe Bruce is less empathetic than NW. Batman’s empathy created NW!!

He's no better than Terry's Batman.
