While creating the Alfred Pennyworth Foundation has led to positive outcomes within Blüdhaven, and with Dick Grayson being continuously protected by Nightwing, Teen Titans, and the new commissioner of Blüdhaven, Blockbuster realizes just how much control he’s losing.
However, an offer from Heartless and some new information regarding Dick Grayson’s informant could be the key to him getting back on top. Therefore, will this be the instance where Blockbuster finally comes out on top? Read more to find out.
Oh, my goodness! So many close calls within this volume of the series. Nevertheless, I was super happy with how everything went for Dick/Nightwing and those in his inner circle. Though with the way comics go, I know there will be something that the writers will (already have) do(ne) to pull out the rug from under the reader. It’s just…Dick truly has such good intentions for everyone. I just want him to continue receiving good energy from the universe (lol the comic writers) but I know it can’t stay like that forever.
Also, enjoyed the relatable instances of corruption that were exemplified within the story (ex: individuals using masks when causing destruction to public spaces where the intent is to help others).
*lol found out this, as well as part 1 and 2 of this series, as published in 2023. No wonder I found this so relevant to the events that have been occurring within the last few years.

This story centers around Bizarro, his origins, and his perspective on past and present events with his teammates, Jason (Red Hood) and Artemis.
Like previous stories, I loved seeing the brotherly relationship between him and Jason. It was also nice to see how and why Bizarro was just as fond of Artemis despite her showcasing a hard exterior in the earlier parts of this series.
My favorite thing about this fic was how seamlessly it fit Gotham heroes (ex: members of the Bat Family) and villains (ex: Dr. Pyg) into each of the chapters/mini stories.
Speaking of chapters/mini stories, this didn’t feel as cohesive as the previous parts of the series and left so many aspects of the main story unanswered. Therefore, this is probably my least favorite part of the series so far.
Nevertheless, this was still very enjoyable and has become one of my favorite comic series ever.

Once again, Nightwing embarks outside of Blüdhaven’s borders in the hopes of discovering more about the Hold; the mysterious ancient society in Blüdhaven. Along the way, Nightwing comes across a former flame who not only holds the key to the secrets of this society but also about his past.
Nightwing, pirates, and secret societies… Oh my!
Never did I expect any of these things to be a story so intriguing that I’d finished it in one sitting but here we are. Also, I loved the fact that there was a bit more information given on Dick’s “Ric Grayson” era but not to the point where I felt completely lost. Guess this is my sign to read this comic soon.
Regarding the bonus story, it had both its strong and weak points.
Strength(s): All I can say is that if you want more content of the other Batfam members in this series then this is the fic where you will see a bit more of them. Whether or not interacting with Dick, I cannot say. Also, if you’re a classic Batman comic reader, you will enjoy some of the callbacks to those times and the characters personalities at that time.
Weakness(es): The artwork changes in the middle of the story, causing the reader to wonder if the events that were occurring were happening or not. There’s also one thing that happens that seems out of left field for Dick. Hopefully, this will be answered in the next volume.
Also… the synopsis at the end of the story, following the variant art covers like usual, don’t match up with what one would see when ordering online. Don’t know why that is but I just wanted to mention that just in case. Like, what gives? Did anyone else notice this? Or am I the only one?
Besides that, this was a fun read that I think a comic fan could read if they wanted something with some summer vibes.

This comic centers around Dick Grayson (a.k.a Nightwing) getting adjusted to life after a particular life altering incident within the Bat family.
Just as things are about to get better, a mysterious villain known as Heartless is going out killing and collecting the hearts of his victims. On top of that, a newly appointed mayor bears the same last name as the man who murdered his parents.
After much research and feedback, this was my first Nightwing comic that was to be read and I wasn’t disappointed.
First off, the art in this comic was just beautiful! I just felt like all the characters (particularly in the Batfamily, though other DC characters too) looked how I imagined them to over the years in various parts of the media.
I also enjoyed the fact that this comic truly felt like Dick/Nightwing’s comic rather than it just being a comic with the Nightwing name but more so about Batman.
With that being, references to other characters in Dick’s perspective is just so astounding to me simply because despite him and Bruce Wayne (or the other Batfam members) having similar backgrounds in one way or another, they are different individuals. Hence, Dick Grayson is someone who respects Batman’s moral code and what he does for Gotham but still wants to be more active in those he works with as a vigilante whether it be cops, victims, or others.
The only bummer about this comic was that it could end before some of my questions could be answered. Nevertheless, that’s why I’ll be reading the part in this series soon.

As Batman already has his hands full with trying to take down the Black Mask, a new adversary by the name of Red Hood comes to Gotham. But who is this individual that is causing trouble for heroes and villains alike in the city? Is it someone new? Or someone entirely familiar?
Alrighty, let’s get into it.
While I knew what was going to take place in this comic, I was still able to be surprised by a few things.
1. The fact that this comic takes place sometime after Stephanie Brown’s, a.k.a Spoiler and the 4th Robin at this current moment in the timeline) death. To be honest with you all, I had no idea that her and Cassandra Caine were characters that have been around longer than I had expected (I thought Stephanie Brown was established in the mid-2010s. Not around 2005 to 2006). So, that was interesting to find out.
2. Secondly, I had no idea that other villains (obscure ones to be exact) were to be found within the pages of the comic. Those villains were like the ones Adam West’s Batman would face. Nevertheless, it was and they didn’t take away from the main plot point.
3. I really enjoyed seeing how much depth was put into Bruce/Batman’s thought process regarding him coming to terms with what may or may not have happened surrounding Jason’s death and resurrection. Shows that behind all that brawn and intelligence behind the cowl, he’s still a human being with doubts (as well as the hope that “his son” is alive).
This comic was well-written. Loved the fact that there were more povs within this comic giving various perspectives on the situation. You have no idea how moved I was by Red Hood’s speech to Batman (I’ve seen clips of this moment on YouTube but of course nothing compares to the actual scene; though I won’t lie, I read this part in Jensen Ackles voice).
Truly loved this comic and would rate it higher than 5/5 stars if I could. Can’t wait to read more on Red Hood!
Rating: 6/5 ⭐️ (Yes, it’s that good 😊; to me that is).
Spicy: 1.5/5🌶️
Moving forward from the events of Dark Crisis, Nightwing and the Titans work together to become the premier league in the DC Universe, taking their base operations to Bludhaven. However, they must first defeat the Demon of Darkness, Neron, and the murderous Grinning man. Can the team survive the pits of hell? Tune in to find out.
This volume is a whole other level of fun that I felt so happy to experience. Not only does most of the storyline take place outside the borders of Blüdhaven but it also gives the reader an opportunity to see the characters from the Titans that old and new fans can enjoy (while I knew the main five from the Cartoon Network/Boomerang channel(s) growing up, I was never aware of the Flash (Wally West) and Wonder Girl (Donna Troy) being (such vital) members of the group. While I’m happy to know the group in its entirety now, it saddens me to know that these two are not used as often in the media that it results in many of the younger generations (myself included in this) missing out. They all work so wonderfully together that it’s hard to not imagine them being a team (hopefully DC will rectify this in the coming years in the media, but who knows at this point).
The bonus story was so good as it allows the reader to experience its events through the lens of Dick Grayson/Nightwing. A technique that isn’t used often in comics. As a matter of fact, it felt like a video game!
