    Teen Titans: The Judas Contract

    Nightwing: Year One

    If your looking for a story taking place in his Robin days, then Robin: Year One is really good. I believe it is by Dixon, and he writes a good Dick

    I'm gonna second Nightwing Year One, as that's pretty much the most recent take on how he went from Robin to Nightwing (The New 52 hasn't clarified whether or not it was retconned yet) Teen Titans the Judas Contract is another must, as it shows Dick in his first real adventure as Nightwing. If you can get your hands on it pick up Batman: Prodigal, that one shows Dick during his first brief stint as Batman when Bruce was healing up from the whole Bane situation.

    So thats:

    Nightwing Year One

    Teen Titans Judas Contract

    Batman: Prodigal

    Also pick up:

    Robin: Year One

    Nightwing: A Knight in Bludhaven

    Batman: Battle for the Cowl

    Batman and Robin Vol 1: Batman Reborn

    And I think that will all be enough to get you started. Each shows Dick in different settings at key points of his career, ranging from his time as Robin to his 2nd time as Batman.

    Well the point was only to give him an introduction to the key points in Dick's life. If he wanted to know about a specific era, say the 2nd Batman era, then I absolutely would've put Black Mirror, along with a few other stories. As it is I gave him Batman Reborn, which begins right as Dick's starting his 2nd stint as Batman. If he likes that era and decides to continue he should eventually stumble upon Black Mirror.

    At first I thought you were talking about just Nightwing but if we are talking Grayson in general go with what NC said above and peep

    Batman: Year 3

    Yeah, Batman Year 3. The first Nightwing series was originally written by Dixon, and I really like his writing, so I would grab all of his run. In general, all of Nightwing's comics are good except for the run right after One Year Later.

    Ehh...none of it's actually bad enough to make me say 'stay away' but if anything the ongoing did start to slip during Devin Graysons run.  
    (Although there were still some pretty good issues in that run)

    Yeah I wouldn't stay away from any of them personally, as different people have different tastes. And if you really want to know the characters its best to read everything concerning him

    Definitely get a Knight in Bludhaven though.

    Nightwing Post-One Year Later isn't bad, but there was a common problem that some heroes are often associated with. It seemed like they didn't know what to do with the character.

    It's crucial you pick this up, and well Gates if you can afford it too, as a little sweetener deal. It's a great jump-off point into the new 52.

    You have to be careful when treading through old Nightwing's ongoing, some of the stories read like bad fan fiction. Can't go wrong with Dixon, Tomasi. If you want some advice I'd steer clear of Devin Grayson.

    Sweet! These two are actually next on my list. Hoping to pick up Gates and Nightwing 12 this week
