Editorial Review: Product Description: Dick Grayson was the first Robin, the teen sidekick to the Dark Knight, Batman. Then he became Nightwing and stepped out of Batmans shadow. The story behind that transformation and how it affected Batman, the Teen Titans and Dick himself is explored in this graphic novel. When Batman fires Robin, an angry Dick Grayson is unsure of where to go. On his journey, he receives advice from Superman and aid from Deadman, and makes the decisions that lead him to become a brand new crimefighter. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - I'd give it Six stars if I could!Not much to say that hasn't already been said. This is brilliant. The story is like a feast perfectly prepared. Everything is just right. There are no awkward fillers, the story isn't the decompressed at any single point. It flows perfectly from plot point to point. It's exciting, insightful, funny and heartwarming. The book is probably more fun if you know the Batman family continuity a little, but just as long as you know who the characters are it's a blast. Definitely don't miss Batgirl: ... Read More Rating: - UghThings we learn in this story: Dick Grayson is an unfaithful mess, who would cheat on the woman he would later attempt to marry with Barbara Gordon if Babs didn't have the morals that she did. Dick Grayson is a pathetic mess who bullies children. Dick Grayson is a sad creature who doesn't know what to do without Batman dictating his life. This is pretty awful. Chuck Dixon is the worst thing that has ever happened to the character of Nightwing, as he took ... Read More Rating: - Great story, Great characters, Great adventure! GREAT!This is a must have for Robin/Nightwing fans. The story fills in some great details on Dick's transition from "Boy Wonder" to "Man Wonder". Every character has their own voice and familiar characterization. Dick is brave and resourceful, Alfred is caring, Batman is callous and Jason Todd is a brat. The linear nature of the story is wonderful, not wasting time in re-caps and histories, but going forward with a great adventure. The only drawback is the blocky, cartoony nature of the ... Read More Rating: - The prototype Year One storyThere comes a time when all Robins must leave the nest and fly solo, and in this case, take flight under the new name of Nightwing. Yes, it's a painful cliché, but so apropos. Parting can be such sweet sorry, but in the end Dick Grayson needed to become his own man and the time was now. The natural evolution of Robin to NW was a long time coming, and fortunately Nightwing is one of the best new characters that DC has created in years. Chuck Dixon and Scott Beatty bucked the recent trend of disappointing and ... Read More Rating: - coming of ageNIghtwing Year One is really a coming of age story. Dick Grayson grows up and this details his break with Batman and changing from Robin to Nightwing. Nightwing has always been a favorite of mine, though that probably relates to how big of a Batman fan I am. And I loved the artwork, with its thick lines and heavy blacks.
