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. The rest of the story follows Dick Grayson's journey to becoming Nightwing. The narration laid on top of the story, coming from an older and wiser Grayson, adds emotional resonance to the events. Finally, Nightwing confronts the new Robin, Jason Todd, revealing a good deal about the character and his changing self-image.
The tale's episodic quality occasionally drains its energy as Grayson's encounters with a circus lion, the Joker and Batgirl aren't always intimately involved with his changing character, but the story pulls through, arriving at satisfying confrontations between Nightwing and the most important characters in his life.
All rights reserved. Grade 6 Up—This graphic novel recounts the coming-of-age of Batmans sidekick Dick Grayson as he makes the transition from child to adult and from Robin to Nightwing. When he is fired for neglecting his duties, he first seeks guidance from Superman and then solace in his former life as a circus performer.
Meanwhile, Batman is training a new Robin to take his place. Eventually an exercise gone wrong brings the two Robins together, and they must put aside their rivalry in order to rescue Alfred after he is mistakenly identified as Two Face. This story is mainly about the struggle of a young man trying to establish his own identity, and his attempt to define himself as his own superhero will appeal to teens. It is clearly set in todays world; Nightwing wears a hoodie, Batman must rescue a child kidnapped in a custody dispute, and a villain is caught because he decided to purchase an economy car rather than a gas-guzzling SUV.
The artwork is clear and propels the story dynamically across the pages. The books engaging quality gives it appeal even to those who are not comic-book aficionados. Lisowski, Philip S.

Verified Purchase. I am, and will probably always be, a Batman fan first and foremost. However, Nightwing brings an attitude, style, and level of action to the comics that is very entertaining.
He is very different from his mentor. Sometimes this is good, sometimes bad. For instance, I see Nightwing as more reckless than Batman. Batman always has a plan within a plan within a plan. Nightwing is also a clever and careful person, but he is not afraid to get his hands dirty in an all-out brawl. Second, Nightwing has a sense of humor.
Not gonna find that with Batman. Third, however, Nightwing just seems more consistent. This creates a continuity of character in the Nightwing series. Nightwing has left behind the Robin role, left the Titans, and now focused his eyes upon Bludhaven. Eventually, he will become the protector of Bludhaven as Batman is the protector of Gotham.
He even has an antagonist who is his perfect spoil- the Blockbuster. Nightwing: Year One introduces us to a character who will take a path different from the one of his mentor. Dick Grayson's truly captured in this book as the heroic hot shot charmer that he is, and you see the character begin to come into his own.
As Grayson's origin story unfolds, any reader could easily grasp Nightwing's relationship with Batman and Barbara. Through his reaction upon learning about the new Robin, you get a measure of what kind of man he isn't.
He isn't mean-spirited or hot-tempered. He isn't a fluff character with no substance. In the evolution of his reaction to Jason Todd he feels stung, not because of being replaced by a new Robin, but because of what that may signify.
Has Bruce replaced his surrogate son? Although, in small exchanges such as the one in the latest Infinite Crisis books between Wayne and Grayson, you catch a glimpse of the nostalgia between these two characters and an understanding. They're on equal footing as heroes now, and the events in this book are what set that into motion. And there's no better way to get hooked on a book than being dazzled by Chuck Dixon's and Scott Beatty's mojo. This is one of the most difficult TPBs to find so if you're a Batman or Nightwing fan and spot it at a decent price like I did, I highly recommend you pick it up.
As far as the content goes, this is a great story. This trade perfectly captures Grayson stepping out of Batman's shadow to evolve into Nightwing. The anecdote from Superman was a nice touch, as well as Jason Todd's introduction. In my opinion, Todd's introduction in this book is much better than in Second Chances. The story also boasts the first appearance of Killer Croc, which had always been a mystery to me until I picked this up.
