This was such a fun read!We see the origins of his solo career when there is a break up of the partnership between Bruce and Dick and how it happens after a mission with the Titans and them rescuing a kid, him venturing out on his own and meeting Superman and learning about the kryptonian superhero Nightwing and then following Dick to the Circus again and having strange encounters there and team up with Batgirl after donning his new avatar and finally teaming with the new Robin Jason and saving

"I don't know you from spit, punk . . . Say something only 'the kid' would know." -- the skeptical Commissioner Jim Gordon, holding the unfamiliar Nightwing at gunpoint"My former associate has a thing for bats?

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.Being a vigilante doesn't mean that you have to go at it alone. When your vision of crime-fighting coincides with others, the unexpected can happen and allies are formed when you least expect it. This is all good as long as everyone is fighting for the same cause, right? For Batman, his help came in the form a child who had nowhere else to go. Acting both as a father figure, Batman mentors Dick Grayson into becoming the first Robin to swing thro...

This was a nice and fun story of Dick Grayson's (Robin) transformation into Nightwing. This is by same team who made Batgirl Year one so its story seems continuation of Batgirl Year one. It was fun to know more about Dick's character, his inner thoughts, dilemmas etc. So far I have enjoyed all the books by Chuck Dixon so this was no different, I like his writing. This story basically has a nice drama about Batfamily which I really enjoyed. Artwork was good and I really loved Dragon ball style ch...

gonna hold off on an official rating bc this is my first superhero comic so i think i need to read more to get used to the style and learn more of the lore :)

This was...very, very, good. I really enjoyed seeing how Dick went from "Robin" to "Nightwing". I also liked the introduction to Jason.

Nightwing: Year One is a story about self-exploration and finding one's true identity, that is full of optimism and positive vibes.

Very enjoyable read. Chuck Dixon just gets Dick Grayson and he spins a pretty good thread with this story from beginning to end. It's a coming-of-age tale that is equal parts Nightwing's emergence and the passing of the torch to Jason Todd. Also, the dialogue between Babs and Dick is spot-on. This is a lot of fun. There need to be more tales like this these days.

It's the story of how Nightwing came to be, and it's not the most exciting plot ever. There's no dramatic villain storyline but it is adorably sweet, from Grayson calling Alfred his other parent to Grayson and Todd teaming up together to save Alfred. My new fave thing lately is whenever Bruce decides to disguise himself (Bring back Bruce disguises 2k16.) and this not only has Bruce dressing up as some goon but Alfred dressed up as Two Face and it was awesome! It's a really sweet read, if you ne...

(B+) 78% | GoodNotes: Bright and optimistic, it's big on callbacks and takes the familiar path down memory lane over treading new ground.

The story of how Robin became Nightwing from Dick's perspective. After Batman fires Robin for splitting his time between Gotham and the Teen Titans, Dick goes on a walkabout eventually returning to the circus. There he's inspired to return to crimefighting under the new guise of Nightwing. Of course, he needs to meet that little punk, Jason Todd, who took his job. I do like how Dixon and Beatty dovetail this in with Robin: Year One.Scott McDaniel makes his return to Nightwing with this story. I

Exciting and historical, it’s largely Jason versus Dick and Batman’s inexcusable folly, with Dick being a beacon of hope through darkness. Artwork is sometimes weird, Babs is sometimes unnecessarily oversexualized.

I've always loved Batman because he is never, ever perfect. And nowhere is this more clear than with Dick Grayson. It's pretty damn clear that as Robin, Grayson has given his heart and soul to fighting crime. The fact that Grayson is torn between two crime fighting groups shouldn't mean he's a failure. But Batman isn't the shades of gray type and that can make him a bit of a jerk. Like telling Robin that he's fired because he shows up late to help Batman due to taking down a villain with the Tee...

I wish I was impressed with this as everyone else seemed to be, but I just didn't think it was all that good. Maybe I was hoping for something a bit more gritty? *sigh*It was ok. Kinda.I just wasn't feeling it.

This collection shows us the beginning of Dick Grayson's transition from Boy Wonder to Nightwing! I liked reading about this transformation plus seeing how the former and newest Robin interacted for the first time. I liked the constant monologue, especially when everything changed. Overall, I enjoyed reading about Nightwing's first flight, it made me love the character even more!

This isn't perfect but it serves it's purpose. This tells the story of Dick transitioning from being Robin: the Boy Wonder to Nightwing. I'll admit, it was kind of hard watching Bruce yell at Dick. Even worse when he fires him and that somehow means he's also been evicted? Like, I'm not entirely sure how old Dick is here but the next thing we see, he's bunking in a motel because he's broke. I don't understand? Was this a self-inflicted punishment, because he didn't have a lot of time for a back

I enjoyed this, I was a little underwhelmed compared to the other year one comics I have read. It was nice seeing Dick break away and become his own person, I think his story is relatable to almost everyone who comes to the point in their lives where they break away from their parents and come into their own. A lot of great Bat Family moments especially with Dick and Barbara, I love their dynamic in the early years of Gotham before the Bat Family got overwhelmingly larger. Jason was also in here...

This is the story of how Dick transitioned from Robin to Nightwing and it was really good!This is the first story for me where Dick has been the main focus of the story and I really enjoyed it, I definitely like him as a character and it was good to get a crash course of his world which is what this good kind of does. It’s interesting to see him with Jason and Dick trying to find himself in a sense. The art here was also good, same cartoon feel as Robin year one that I liked.Overall a very good

The reason I got into reading comics was because I wanted to know more about what happened between Bruce and Dick. How they went from the Dynamic Duo to having such distance and drama between them. Nightwing: Year One is an excellently executed and substantial piece of that story.I love Dick Grayson. I love his approach to life, I love his lighthearted and kind way of dealing with the world. He's such a great contrast for Bruce Wayne. I love Dick Grayson so it is absolutely no surprise that I wo...
