Description

The story starts with the break between Batman and his sidekick, a result of Robin's conflicting responsibilities: to college; his supergroup, the Teen Titans; and Batman himself. Art of the Crime • The Attack of the Annihilator • Batgirl of Burnside • Batgirl Rising • Batgirl: Wanted! Luckily, Nightwing and the Titans have been given a show on the DC Universe app, and with season 2 we have seen some changes.

I liked reading about this transformation plus seeing how the former and newest Robin interacted for the first time. Speaking of Jason you have to feel sorry for him, his introduction into the story is fairly scary and the look in his eyes when Batman takes him away for a "chat" makes you understand why he would later feel some anger towards Bruce, even Dick is fairly cruel towards him to start with. While the visual style can be easy to get used to, the character designs aren't that impressive at all. This book serves as a fine continuation again, bridging the gap between those stories and the modern age continuity. One or two guest appearances should not come as a surprise to most fans, but one certainly does stand-out as an interesting, and effective inclusion to the narrative.Things go wrong blah blah blah Alfred is dressed up as Two-Face and captured by Killer Croc and its not as fun as it sounds.

The story arc does a great job of showing what causes the split between the two and why Dick Grayson leaves; plus, this puts him on an adventure that shows why Grayson is a friend to everyone in the DCU as there are plenty of guest stars in each issue. Jason comes off as every bit the twerp he was when folks voted with their telephones back in the 80's, but the pairing gives Dick a chance to be both outraged ousted party and cool big brother; by the end, we're as in awe of the newly minted Nightwing as Jason is. Chuck Dixon and Scott McDaniel spin an excellent tale of a growing up and looking to define who you are away from the trappings of your childhood. There are, of course, nice moments--we get more scenes of the mainly undefined Dick Grayson/Barbara Gordon relationship, as well as a new "first appearance" of Killer Croc--an origin reconned out of mainstream continuity when Jason Todd lost his first, circus-based origin after Crisis on Infinite Earths. Robin started out as the polar opposite of Batman to give contrast in a real world sense and to provide the Dark Knight with a colorful distraction to his foes in an in-world sense, but as he evolved he became the most capable team leader in the DC Universe (whereas the Justice League has never had a set leader, Dick Grayson is the Captain America or Cyclops of the Titans) and the hero everybody will rally around in a time of crisis (a plot point Geoff Johns made during Infinite Crisis that I really loved).

Even Batgirl, who people usually get really excited over due to the rarity of appearances of original Barbara Gordon Batgirl, really brings nothing to this book, shes seems very bland is provides very little . Featuring weekly comic release discussions, creator AMAs, a friendly and helpful userbase, and much more!

Chapter three feels a little forced as it's a random Deadman guest shot that takes place when Dick takes a brief side trip to rejoin the circus and we learn that the Flying Graysons knew Boston Brand, but I'll excuse the tacked on nature as Scott McDaniel draws both an awesome Deadman and fantastic aerial scenes. Scott also revamped the classic Charlton Comics character SON OF VULCAN for DC, co-engineered the epic JOKER'S LAST LAUGH crossover event, and wrote BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHTS for 17 issues. Right now, you most likely have some time to get caught up with new things in pop culture and also revisit old favorites in your collection. His Punisher OGN Kingdom Gone (August, 1990) led to him working on the monthly The Punisher War Journal (and later, more monthly and occasional Punisher titles), and also brought him to the attention of DC Comics editor Denny O'Neil, who asked him to produce a Robin mini-series.

Nightwing: Year One is a solid and entertaining origin story revealing Robin's tale of independence and self-discovery.
